Inulin is a robust substrate for the preparation of fructooligosaccharides.In the present research, hydrolysis parameters were optimized for the preparation of fructooligosaccharides from inulin Lego Boxed using Aspergillus tritici endoinulinase in a batch system.Under optimized hydrolytic conditions viz.inulin concentration 6%, endoinulinase load
Masks A 56-year-old man was referred to our hospital about 48 h after sudden onset of painless central visual loss in his right eye (OD) on a winter morning.He had a more than 25-year history of systemic hypertension and smoking.Funduscopic observation showed striated retinal whitening in the macular region, faint cotton-wool patches around the opt
We investigated nearest-neighbor density-based clustering for hyperspectral image analysis.Four existing techniques were considered that rely on a K-nearest neighbor (KNN) graph to estimate local density and to propagate labels through algorithm-specific labeling decisions.We first improved two of these techniques, a KNN variant of the density peak
We estimated the probability of exposure of people to questing ticks, infected with bacterial agents of the tick—borne zoonoses—in Aosta Pediatric Upper Respiratory Valley, western Alps, Italy.We collected ticks by dragging, and from collectors’ clothes in three hiking trails, which were divided into an internal path, with short v
Olfactory and trigeminal chemosensory systems reside in parallel within the mammalian nose.Psychophysical studies in people indicate that these two systems interact at a perceptual level.Trigeminal sensations of pungency mask odour perception, while olfactory stimuli can influence trigeminal signal processing tasks such as odour localization.While
