The study of the table olive biofilms is usually achieved using a stomacher which causes physical rupture pitted olives in an osmotic media but does not differentiate between those on surface and inside fruits. Besides, high amount eukaryotic DNA released from vegetable cells makes further molecular detached microbiota complex. This work applies Response Surface Methodology, based D-optimal exp...

Local pressure, developed between the socket of a prosthetic device and the accompanying body segment, reflects such matters as comfort, stability, and proprioceptive sense . Recent interest in these areas has led to the development of a number of devices to measure pressure . Most such devices, intended for clinical use (temporary mounting in the finished prosthesis) , necessarily protrude fro...

n-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3LC-PUFA) are essential components of vertebrate membrane lipids and are now at critically low levels in modern Western diets. The main human dietary source for n-3LC-PUFA is fish and seafood, and over 50% of global fish production is currently supplied by aquaculture. However, increasing pressure to include vegetable oils, which are devoid of n-3LC...

A 34-year-old Chinese man had been experiencing asymptomatic, pinpoint-sized, skin-colored, umbilicated papules distributed throughout his left palm for more than 10 years.

The patient's family hist...

Pigments are important contributors to the appearance and healthful properties of both avocado fruits and the oils extracted from these fruits. This study determined carotenoid and chlorophyll pigment concentrations in the skin and three sections of the flesh (outer dark green, middle pale green, and inner yellow flesh-nearest the seed) and anthocyanin concentrations in the skin of Hass avocado...
