Fertilized peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) ovaries develop into aerial gynophores known as pegs, which are supposed to endure delayed penetration into the soil (pegging) caused by increased surface soil strength promoted by ...

The molecular packing-dependent interfacial organization of polyethylene glycol grafted dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine (PE-PEGs) Langmuir films was studied. The PEG chains covered a wide molecular mass range (350, ...

Here we studied the effect of molecular crowding on the hydrolysis of ortho- and para-nitrophenyl-β-D-galactopyranosides (ONPG, PNPG) catalysed by Escherichia coli β-Galactosidase in the presence of 0–35%w/v 6kD ...

Background: Enteral feeding by percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy is indicated as long-term nutritional support for children with neurologic impairment and dysphagia. We report our experience with percutaneous endoscopic ...

Tree and shrub leaves digestibility in herbivores may be restricted by negative effects on digestion by generally high levels of secondary compounds (Provenza, 1995; Salem, 2005; Salem et al., 2006), such as phenolics, ...

Bowel preparation is critical for colonoscopy quality. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is considered the gold standard for bowel preparation, however the need for high volumes impairs patient’s tolerance. Lactulose has emerged ...
