In one study, 287 patients diagnosed with asymptomatic carotid plaques or abnormal plaque free carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) were randomly assigned to a GSE group (n = 146) or control group (n = 141). As anticipated, after treatment, GSE resulted in significant reduction in MMCIMT progression, while MMCIMT and plaque score were stable and even increased with the control group. The numbe...

In this study, the potential use of Moringa oleifera as a clotting agent of different types of milk (whole, skim, and soy milk) was investigated. M. oleifera seed extract showed high milk-clotting activity followed by flower extract. Specific clotting activity of seed extract was 200 times higher than that of flower extract. Seed extract is composed by four main protein bands (43.6, 32.2, 19.4,...

There is a questionable assumption made in the theory and practice of delay-insensitive circuits, as presented by Dill Dil88b] and Burns and Martin BM88]. The problem is illustrated by the following puzzle. Puzzle: Consider an OR gate (see Figure 1) with inputs labeled a and b, and an output labeled c. Suppose that the circuit initially has a = 1, b = 0 and c = 1; The b input then rises, and th...
