The article presents the results of a study on preparation and use faba bean waste potato peel pellets for energy purposes. Physical mechanical characteristics (moisture, density, ash content) were investigated. largest fraction flour was formed sieve with 1 mm holes: waste—28.2 ± 2.02 g, peels—29.09 0.73 g. For this experiment, samples taken by mixing (four variants) in ratio 1:1; 1:2; 1:3; 1:...

INTRODUCTION Coronary artery disease (CAD) in diabetes mellitus (DM) is often widespread when diagnosed. Non-invasive coronary calcium scoring and coronary CT angiography (CAC-score/CCTA) are accurate in the detection of CAD. This study compared CAD characteristics as identified by CCTA between patients with and without DM with atypical chest pain. METHODS CAD was defined as CAC-score >0 and/...

Unsafe use of alcohol results in approximately 2.5 million deaths worldwide, with cirrhosis contributing to 16.6% of reported deaths. Serum insulin levels are often elevated in alcoholism and may result in diabetes, which is why alcoholic liver disease and diabetes often are present together. Because there is a sizable population with these diseases alone or in combination, the purpose of this ...

A scaling model is presented for low Reynolds number viscous flow within an array of microfabricated posts. Such posts are widely used in several lab-on-a-chip applications such as heat pipes, antibody arrays and biomolecule separation columns. Finite element simulations are used to develop a predictive model for pressure driven viscous flow through posts. The results indicate that the flow rat...

Five different hays were used to determine the effect of 5 different soaking and steaming treatments on the water soluble carbohydrate and microbial (bacteria and mould) contents of UK hay. Hays were subjected to the following 5 treatments: 1. Dry; 2. Steamed for 50 minutes in the Haygain- 600 steamer; 3. Soaked in water at 16°C for 9 hours; 4. Steamed then soaked and 5. Soaked then steamed. Po...

Over evolutionary time, both hostand virus-encoded genes have been continually selected to modify their interactions with one another. This has resulted in the rapid evolution of the specific codons that govern the physical interactions between host and virus proteins. Virologists have discovered that these evolutionary signatures, acquired in nature, can provide a shortcut in the functional di...

The impact of aging on healthcare expenditure (HCE) has been at the center of a prolonged debate. This paper purports to shed light on several issues of this debate by presenting new evidence on the "red herring" hypothesis advanced by Zweifel, Felder and Meier (1999). This hypothesis amounts to distinguishing a mortality from a morbidity component in healthcare expenditure (HCE) and claiming t...
