In the problem of perfectly reliable message transmission (PRMT), a sender S and a receiver R are connected by n bidirectional synchronous channels. A mixed adversary A(tb,tf ,tp) with infinite computing power controls tb, tf and tp channels in Byzantine, failstop and passive fashion respectively. Inspite of the presence of A(tb,tf ,tp), S wants to reliably send a message m to R, using some pro...

Ganoderma is a genus of mushrooms that prized in developed nations, especially those Asia, due to its health-promoting properties, which are attributed bioactive compounds such as phenolics. However, developing countries, particularly Africa, untapped and barely identified. In this study, we identified species collected from different host trees the wild Namibia, cultivated them on one substrat...

Definitive diagnosis of infectious diseases, including food poisoning, requires culture and identification of the infectious agent. We described how antibodies could be used to shorten this cumbersome process. Specifically, we employed an anti-Salmonella lipopolysaccharide O12 monoclonal antibody in an epitope-inhibition 10-min test (TUBEX TP) to detect O12⁺Salmonella organisms directly from ro...

This study was aimed to determine total polyphenols (TP), flavonoids (TF), chlorogenic acid (CA), antioxidant capacity (AC) and in-vitro bioaccessibility of (as gastric intestinal stages) the extracts from artichoke fractions (head, bract stalk) using different solvents (80% ethanol, 80% methanol water). The results showed that fraction solvent used significantly affected all parameters measure...

Monkeys with damage to the parahippocampal (TH/TF) or perirhinal (PRh) cortex were tested on two sets of the transverse patterning (TP) problem (A+/B-, B+/C-, C+/A- and D+/E-, E+/F-, F+/D-) and delayed nonmatching-to-location paradigm (DNML), with delays ranging from 10 to 600 s. Damage to either area impaired acquisition and performance of TP but not of linear discriminations (e.g., A>B>C>X). ...

Nowadays, phytochemicals and antioxidants in plants are raising interest in consumers for their roles in the maintenance of human health. Phenolics and flavonoids are known for their health-promoting properties due to protective effects against cardiovascular disease, cancers and other disease. Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is one of the traditional folk medicinal plants and it is widely used in...

Two studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of diet on phosphorus (P) digestion in dairy cattle. The objective of the first study was to evaluate the effects of forage and non-fiber carbohydrate (NFC) content on total P (TP) and inositol phosphatesP (IPs-P) digestion. Samples of feed, duodenal digesta and feces from a previously conducted study were analyzed for TP and IPs-P. In this stu...

ABSTRACT The main goal was to optimize and establish the kinetics thermodynamics of extraction process. An investigation into effects ethanol concentration (0-100 %), liquid solid ratio (30-60 mL g-1), temperature (25-65 °C), time (40-200 min) on total phenols (TP) flavonoids (TF) from linden (Tilia cordata M.) flowers performed using single-factor experiments. Experimental results showed that ...

Abstract The extraction, and stability of polyphenols from the grape residue were studied. extractions performed following Box-Behnken design, surface response methodology was used to model extraction total anthocyanins (TA), flavonols (TF), phenolics (TP). optimized simultaneously by desirability function. degradation kinetics monomeric anthocyanins, increase in polymeric color modeled under r...
