This study was aimed to investigate effects of aqueous citric acid (CA) and ascorbic acid (AA) on lipid oxidation in comparison with effect of vacuum packaging in order to find better treatment to delay improper changes in the Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus) fillets during frozen storage due to lipid oxidation. In this study traditional packaging, vacuum packaging, ascorbic acid solutio...

Stepping Piezo Actuators (SPA) are long stroke linear piezoelectric actuators able to perform long stroke (typ. >10mm) with an important resolution (typ. <1nm). Use of famous Amplified Piezo Actuator APA gives the motor interesting characteristics, such as useful deformation mode and speed improvement, compared to standard inertial motors. The paper proposes experimental results obtained on var...

The word "place" is curiously wide in its application, going beyond strict spatiality. A traditional town is a place, the right half of that field is a place, the vacuum cleaner has its place in the closet, the children's place is upstairs, the woman's place was in the home, the third line on the form is the place for this year's income, and as we grow up we try to find our place within the mes...

BACKGROUND Although legal, access to safe abortion remains limited in India. Given positive experiences of task-shifting from other developing countries, there is a need to explore the feasibility of expanding the manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) provider base to include nurses in India. STUDY DESIGN A prospective, two-sided equivalence study was undertaken in five facilities of a non-governmen...

Satuby and Orenstein [Opt. Express 15, 4247-4252 (2007)] reported the discovery and numerical and experimental investigation of long-range surface plasmon-polariton eigenmodes guided by wide (6 to 12 mum) rectangular gaps in 400 nm thick gold films using excitation of vacuum wavelength lambda(vac) = 1.55 mum. In this paper, we carry out a detailed numerical analysis of the two different types o...
