Twenty preterm infants (gestational age range 27-36 weeks) who had never been fed enterally were studied. Doppler indices of flow velocity from the superior mesenteric and coeliac arteries were measured immediately before, and at postprandial time intervals up to 60 minutes after, a first feed of 1 ml of milk given through a nasogastric tube. There were no significant differences between the pr...

The invasion of the exotic species Spartina alterniflora (S. alterniflora) has profoundly influenced coastal soil development in China. Accurate assessment and monitoring invasion-driven soils requires reliable methods to support sustainable governance ecosystems. A space-for-time substitution method a stratified random sampling strategy were utilized this study obtain data from 15 sites at thr...

The experiment on “Performance of quinoa (Chenopodium Willd.) under varied sowing windows and planting patterns” was carried out at Main Research Station, Hebbal, UAS, GKVK, Bengaluru, during Kharif-2019. constituted four dates (D1: July second fortnight, D2: August first D3: fortnight D4: September fortnight) patterns (S1: 30 × 15 cm, S2: 45 S3: 60 cm S4: 75 cm) replicated thrice laid in split...

To determine how intra-row spacing and potassium levels affected sweet corn (Zea mays L. var. Saccharata), a field experiment was conducted in Junagadh (Gujarat) during the Rabi season of 2016–17. Four (5, 10, 15 20 cm) four (0, 20, 40, 60 kg K2O/ha) were combined into sixteen different treatment combinations. Three replications factorial randomized block design used to set up experiment. Based...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of infrared-light-emitting diode (LED) during treadmill training on functional performance. METHODS Thirty postmenopausal women aged 50-60 years were randomly assigned to one of three groups and successfully completed the full study. The three groups were: (1) the LED group, which performed treadmill training associated with phototherapy (n = 10); (2) the exe...

Porang tubers contain compounds that have been widely used in health and industry, namely glucomannan. In addition, porang also oxalate cause itching burning when consumed directly. cut with a size of 2x2 cm thickness 0.5 are soaked using solution NaCl distilled water. Immersion is to reduce levels variations concentration, temperature immersion time. Soaking either or water can levels. concent...

We experimentally observed laser-induced remote high-voltage discharge triggering between two needle electrodes with half-a-cm spacing. The was initiated by a 744-nm, 90-fs, 6-mJ laser pulse undergoing filamentation in air. For the direct voltage below self-breakdown threshold, of air-gap synchronized 10-Hz repetition rate and occurred 40 80 m propagation path. No guiding observed. registered s...

We demonstrate a pyroelectric nanogenerator (PENG) based on a lead zirconate titanate (PZT) film, which has a pyroelectric coefficient of about -80 nC/cm(2)K. For a temperature change of 45 K at a rate of 0.2 K/s, the output open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current density of the PENG reached 22 V and 171 nA/cm(2), respectively, corresponding to a maximum power density of 0.215 mW/cm(3). ...

Plasmon-mediated shape conversion of spherical silver nanoparticles (NPs) to nanostructures with other shapes under the irradiation of green LEDs (520 ± 20 nm, 35 mw/cm²) at various temperatures (60, 40, 20, 10, 5, and 0 °C) was performed in this study. It was found that the bath temperature used in the reaction can influence the reaction rates, i.e., the times needed for the shape transformati...

To determine the genetic contribution to variation among lipoprotein cholesterol levels, we performed quantitative trait locus (QTL) analyses on an intercross between mouse strains RIIIS/J and 129S1/SvImJ. Male mice of the parental strains and the reciprocal F1 and F2 populations were fed a high-cholesterol, cholic acid-containing diet for 8-12 wk. At the end of the feeding period, plasma total...
