The effect of mixing time on wheat protein composition and gluten formation was studied for three commercial flour mixtures (biscuit, standard and strong) and one durum flour. Ultracentrifugation was used to separate the fresh, wet gluten from the wheat-flour dough immediately after mixing. Small deformation dynamic theological measurements and RP- and SE-HPLC were used to determine the characteri
The approximately 150kDa ChlH subunit of magnesium chelatase from Oryza sativa, Hordeum vulgare and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii have been heterologously expressed in Escherichiacoli. The active soluble protein is found as both a multimeric and a monomeric form. The multimeric ChlH appears to be oxidatively damaged but monomer production is favoured in growth conditions that are known to cause an oxi
Incisional hernia is one of the most common complications (5–20%) after abdominal surgery. Surgery is the only option to cure a hernia. Symptoms of an incisional hernia depend on the size of the abdominal wall defect and the protruding tissue. About 30% of the patients with an incisional hernia will have an operation performed. Traditional surgical sutured techniques have very high recurrence rate
In order to enable an effective and efficient adoption of radical innovations in networks, science-based organizations should be aware of the challenges and resistance they may face within their network relationships, resulting from the interconnected structure of high-tech networks as well as the uncertain nature of their radical innovations. By analyzing how nuances of relationship quality influ
Introduction: Respiratory allergic disorders like rhinitis and asthma are common conditions that not only affect target organs, but complicate the daily life of affected children and adolescents. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the QoL (Quality of Life) in children with grass pollen allergy in and out of grass pollen season. Methods: We used the Pediatric Allergic Disea
The current study investigated if perceived sport enjoyment, competence, autonomy, relatedness, and motivation would be able to predict leader-member exchange (LMX) quality. Participants (N = 89) were adolescence athletes, aged 15 to 18, participating in organized team sports, namely basketball, handball, and football. A quantitative cross-sectional survey design was used and the variables measure
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the association between audit rotation – at the audit partner and audit firm level – and audit quality. As mentioned in the literature, audit rotation has several benefits, and one of them is it can bring a fresh look to audit tasks and subsequently improve audit quality. Moreover, audit itself can help a client to improve its financial reporting.
Microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE), or the partitioning of assimilated C into growth or respiration, is a key parameter that is central to understanding the soil C cycle and its feedback to environmental and climate change. The availability of nitrogen (N), organic matter (OM) quality and environmental factors influence CUE indirectly by affecting growth rates and respiration of the major micro
BACKGROUND: The objective of the Swedish cleft lip and palate (CLP) registry is to promote quality control, research and improvement of treatment, by comparison of the long-term results of surgery, orthodontics and speech from all six Swedish CLP centres. The purpose of the study was to investigate the coverage and reporting degree of the Swedish CLP registry, and to describe the design of the reg
Mob-grazing involves maintaining high densities of livestock for short periods so that most plants are either eaten or trampled, followed by long rest periods. This practice has been proposed as a mechanism to increase soil carbon (C) storage and range quality. However, mob-grazing has not universally achieved these objectives, possibly because many factors influence the effects of grazing on soil
Little is known about the impact of chronic breathlessness (modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) score ≥2 for most days, at least three of the last six months) on health-related quality of life (Short Form-12 (SF-12)). 3005 adults from randomly selected households were interviewed face-to-face in South Australia. mMRC ≥2 community prevalence was 2.9%. Adjusted analyses showed clinically meanin
Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the image quality of 7 iterative reconstruction (IR) algorithms in comparison to filtered back-projection (FBP) algorithm. Methods An anthropomorphic chest phantom was scanned on 4 computed tomography scanners and reconstructed with FBP and IR algorithms. Image quality of anatomical details - large/medium-sized pulmonary vessels, small pulmonary vessels, tho
Public health surveillance and response to disease outbreaks is still a hurdle in many developing countries across sub-Saharan Africa. Pivotal in disease surveillance and response is the reliance on valid information, hence, the need for information which has high Information Quality (IQ) characteristics. A key issue with disease surveillance systems, stem from the diverse range of data sources wi
Compassion fatigue (CF), a diminished empathic capacity resulting from prolonged exposure to others’ distress, is an emerging concern in the teaching profession. This study investigates the prevalence and predictors of CF among Swedish teachers, with a particular focus on reduced compassion toward students. Drawing on the job demands-resources model and the compassion fatigue resilience model, we
