Yacon roots present functional properties because of the high levels of fructooligosaccharides (FOS), which are considered as prebiotic fibers. In addition, yacon roots are rich in phenolic compounds. During the processing of yacon, the freshly cut surface undergoes rapid enzymatic browning. Control of enzymatic browning during processing is very important to preserve the appearance of yacon flour. In this study, it was evaluated the combined effect of anti-browning agents (ascorbic acid, citric acid ...

Cell-based treatments have been considered a promising therapy for neurological diseases. However, currently there are no clinically available methods to monitor whether the transplanted cells reach and remain in the brain. In this study we investigated the feasibility of detecting the distribution and homing of autologous bone-marrow mononuclear cells (BMMCs) labeled with Technetium-99 m (99mTc) in a cell-based therapy clinical study for chronic ischemic stroke. Six male patients (ages 24–65 years) ...

In modern communication systems, high-order modulation schemes have been widely employed to improve the spectral efficiency. In this context, soft decision methods are usually preferred, due to their superior performance over hard decisions. Soft decoders use metrics such as the log-likelihood ratios (LLRs) to measure the reliability of their decisions. Typically, the complexity of the exact channel LLR calculation increases exponentially with the modulation order of the system. The most well-known ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a high-fat diet (HFD) on nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase activity in rat pancreatic islets. We investigated if changes in NADPH oxidase are connected to beta cell dysfunction reported in obese animals.Male Wistar rats were fed a HFD or control diet for 3 months. DNA fragmentation, insulin secretion, and [U-C]glucose oxidation were examined in isolated pancreatic islets. The oxidative stress markers nitrotyrosine and 4-hydroxy- ...

The ability to integrate echocardiographic for rheumatic heart disease (RHD) into RHD prevention programs is limited because of lack of financial and expert human resources in endemic areas. Task shifting to nonexperts is promising; but investigations into workforce composition and training schemes are needed. The objective of this study was to test nonexperts' ability to interpret RHD screening echocardiograms after a brief, standardized, computer-based training course. Six nonexperts completed ...

Cutting fluids have a fundamental role in machining, especially in grinding, since they are responsible for lubrication and refrigeration of the cutting region. On the other hand, they may cause damage to the environment and to the health of the operators. Thermal damage, geometric inaccuracies and degradation of the surface integrity of the workpiece are diminished with the use of cutting fluids. While in the conventional application of cutting fluid a large amount of oil or emulsion of oil with ...
