The development of new chemical engineering design tools is essential for the implementation of the latest technology in the manufacture of chemical and other products. The focus of this paper is on process systems engineering (PSE) methods and tools, and especially on how such PSE methods and tools can be applied to speed up or support systematic bioprocess development at miniature scale. In t...

The present research was conducted to measure the impact of poppy seed extract (PSE) and gamma irradiation on storage stability antioxidant profile beef patties during at different packaging. Different doses (2.5 kGy 5 kGy) were applied alone with combination 2% PSE. PSE enriched packed (aerobically vacuum) kept refrigeration temperature. results show that higher value TBARS POV found in aerobi...

Prolonged strenuous exercise (PSE) induces transient left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. Previous studies suggest that β-adrenergic pathway desensitization could be involved in this phenomenon, but it remains to be confirmed. Moreover, other underlying mechanisms involving oxidative stress have been recently proposed. The present study aimed to evaluate the involvement of both the β-adrenergic p...

CONTEXT Pseudoephedrine (PSE) is an over-the-counter decongestant that might have ergogenic effects. The World Anti-Doping Agency has prohibited large doses (>150 μg/mL) of PSE, while the National College Athletic Association (NCAA) does not include it on their banned-substance list. PURPOSE This study examined the effect of body-weight dosing of PSE on 800-m-run times of NCAA female runners....

UNLABELLED Antihistamines and nasal decongestants are well-established therapeutics in allergic rhinitis. However, no data are available which directly compare the effect size of the single substances with their combination in a single study including placebo (PLA) treatment. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a combination of cetirizine (CET) and pseudoephedrine (P...

BACKGROUND Engaging in regular physical activity reduces the likelihood of developing chronic diseases. A community's rates of physical activity are directly connected to its built environment characteristics, which correspondingly affect the chronic disease prevalence of its population. Community planning and design interventions can increase levels of physical activity and reduce chronic dise...

Heterogeneous architectures encompassing traditional CPUs with two or more cores, GPUs and other accelerators like the Intel Xeon Phi, are available off the shelf at an affordable cost in a desktop computer. This paper describes work towards the definition, implementation and assessment of an environment that will empower scientists and engineers to develop and run their demanding applications ...

We hypothesize that quality signals improve over time with the quality performance of a wine producer, and that spillovers will affect other producers within the same region. For this purpose, we estimate a hedonic pricing model for premium California wine. Data source is the annual publication "California Wine Winners" accumulated over the judging years 1990-2001. Quality indicators for 19,583...

The general integral particle strength exchange (PSE) operators [J.D. Eldredge, A. Leonard, and T. Colonius, J. Comput. Phys. 180, 686–709 (2002)] approximate derivatives on scattered particle locations to any desired order of accuracy. Convergence is, however, limited to a certain range of resolutions. For high-resolution discretizations, the constant discretization error dominates and prevent...

Mobility pathways to and from Indigenous programs is one strategy post-secondary education (PSE) institutions employ support reconciliation, yet data limited on the status or impact of these pathways. The current study examined program non-Indigenous learners within programming. Fifty-three students were recruited across PSE in Ontario. Chi squared tests indicated that majority transferring an ...
