OBJECTIVE There has been a growing interest in finding plants with biological active ingredients for medicinal application. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three colors of petals of Althaea officinalis (A. officinalis) flowers, i.e., pink, reddish pink, and white were examined for total antioxidant activity and flavonoids content. RESULTS The reddish pink flowers of A. officinalis have more antioxidan...

Establishing n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid contents in canned wild Alaska pink salmon products is challenging due to ample natural variation found in lipid content of pink salmon muscle. This study investigated the effect of adding salmon oil (SO) to canned pink salmon produced from fish exhibiting two opposite degrees of skin watermarking, bright (B) and dark (D). Specific goals of the study ...

Tonic immobility reaction and heterophil:lymphocyte ratio were studied in hens laying pink eggs from three brown egg Spanish breeds (Barred Red Vasca, Red Vasca, Red Villafranquina). There was no significant difference among breeds in terms of tonic immobility duration or heterophil:lymphocyte ratio. Tonic immobility duration was significantly shorter in the pink (220 + or - 23 s) than in the n...

How do people make rich inferences from such sparse data? Recent research has explored this inferential ability by investigating probabilistic reasoning in infancy. For example, 8- and 11-month-old infants can make inferences from samples to populations and vice versa (Denison & Xu, 2010a; Xu & Denison, 2009; Xu & Garcia, 2008a). The current experiment investigates the developmental origins of ...

physical signs of disease in lung still present, though less marked than on admission. General health improved, but not restored. In the 1930-1 report, Sir St. Clair Thompson states :-"Out of thirteen cases with laryngeal tuberculosis, approximately thirty per cent. were "arrested," while sixty-six per cent. of the remainder were "improved." These figures suggest that with more modern methods o...

Nowadays many software systems are designed to work without interruption: for instance operating systems are required to provide continuously their services to the users, and web applications and verification of critical and concurrent systems represent a typical scenario where endless computations are involved. The behavior of systems operating forever can be formally specified by means of ω-l...
