A hydroacetone extract was prepared from seeds of Phoenix dactylifera L. var. Khalas, which is an industrial by-product of date processing. The proanthocyanidin nature of the extract (coded as DTX) was characterized by phytochemical and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analyses. The total phenol/proanthocyanidin content and antioxidant activity of

We focus on the development of Ge-doped silica thermoluminescent dosimeters with sensitivity superior to that of the LiF (Mg,Ti) phosphors popularly used in x-ray diagnostic imaging dosimetry, typically in the form of the product TLD-100. Of interest are Ge-doped silica telecommunication fibres (SMF) and tailor-made doped photonic crystal fibres (P

Study has been made of the thermoluminescence (TL) response of Ge-doped silica preforms fabricated using the MCVD process and subsequently subjected to γ-ray irradiation. Two types of preform were fabricated, obtained using a different flow rate and deposition temperature for each case. Results from the absorption spectra of the samples show a sig

Hyaluronate lyase produced by various microorganisms is capable of degrading hyaluronic acid in connective tissue and initiating spread of infection by opening an access for the pathogen into host tissues. The present study attempts to determine the distribution of hyaluronate lyase-producing Streptococcus pneumoniae among invasive, non-invasive an
