We investigated whether low-level laser therapy (LLLT) can reduce muscular fatigue during tetanic contractions in rats. Thirty-two male Wistar rats were divided into four groups receiving either one of three different LLLT doses (0.5, 1.0, and 2.5 J/cm2) or a no-treatment control group. Electrical stimulation was used to induce six tetanic muscle contractions in the tibial anterior muscle. Cont...

Purpose: The objective of this study was to prepare Propranolol Hydrochloride controlled release matrix tablets and to investigate the effect of the polymer blends and the polymer concentration on drug release. Method: Propranolol Hydrochloride controlled release matrix tablets were prepared by direct compression technique. Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose K15M (HPMC K15M) and Carbopol 934P were us...

Septoria tritici is the causal agent of leaf blotch in wheat and among the most damaging fungal cereal pathogens in the humid regions of central Europe. The percentage of the leaf area colonized by S. tritici was recorded weekly between April and July every season between 2004 and 2010. A total of 11 cultivars with moderate susceptibility [ratings of 4e6 on a 1 (resistant) to 9 (susceptible) sc...

CFB reactors are increasingly used for both gas catalytic and gas/solid reactions. Gas flow patterns in the riser are important in their design and subject of the present research. A literature review on the gas mixing in the riser highlights the contradictory results of previous investigations for CFB risers: some investigators neglected back-mixing of gas, whereas others report a considerable...

Transition metal phosphides have been recognized as efficient co-catalysts to boost the activity of semiconductor photocatalysts. However, a rigorous and quantitative understanding is still be developed about how transition influence photoexcited electron dynamics. Here, we present nanosecond time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy (TAS) study dynamics in carbon nitrides (g-C3N4) before...

Green roofs need to quickly recover their water retention capacity between rainfall events maintain rainwater performance. In this study, the authors observed retention, recovery process, and plant eco-physiological performance of green with four local vegetation species under a typical subtropical monsoon climate for two years. The half-life content after each (T50) was used describe rate. res...

experiments were carried out in which the dependence of the fractional softening on temperature, time and strain rate was determined in a 304h stainless steel. three prestrain ranges were identified pertaining to three different post-deformation softening behaviors: 1) prestraining to below the drx critical strain: strongly strain dependent softening by srx alone with softening kinetics control...
