pyknodysostosis is a rare bone disease that has autosomal dominant trait. it is characterized by short stature, diffuse osteosclerosis, acro-osteolysis, finger, and nail abnormalities. other features include open fontanelles and sutures, relative proptosis and obtuse mandibular gonial angle with relative mandibular prognathism. intraoral features such as dental abnormalities also have been repo...

BACKGROUND Children's beverage consumption patterns have received increased attention in light of the obesity epidemic in this group. In day care centers (DCCs), children spend up to 10 h a day, and typically consume half to three quarters of their daily food intake. The purpose of the study was to investigate what beverages are typically served to children in preschools in Poland, and to evalu...

Abstract This paper presents a predictive mathematical model of high-pressure membrane contactor, with view to developing plant-wide natural gas sweetening including amine regeneration. We build upon an existing contactor by Quek et al. [Chem Eng Res Des 132:1005–1019, 2018], which uses combination 1-d and 2-d mass-balance equations predict the CO2 absorption flux wetting under lean solvent ope...

Supersonic separation technology is a new natural gas sweetening method for the treatment of with high CO2 (carbon dioxide) content. The structures Laval nozzle and supersonic separator were designed, mathematical models condensation swirling CO2-CH4 mixture established. characteristics in condensed droplets under different inlet pressures studied. results show that higher pressure larger dropl...

Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni, an ancient perennial shrub of South America, produces diterpene glycosides that are low calorie sweeteners, about 300 times sweeter than saccharose. Stevia extracts, besides having therapeutic properties, contain a high level of sweetening compounds, known as steviol glycosides, which are thought to possess antioxidant, antimicrobial and antifungal activity. Steviosid...

In an effort to explore the contribution of the sugar constituents of pharmaceutically relevant glycosylated natural products, chemists have developed glycosylation methods for the generation of 'glycorandomized' libraries. Each member of these libraries is uniquely differentiated by an attached carbohydrate. Recently, two complementary glycorandomization strategies have emerged: chemoenzymatic...
