We present a comparative evaluation of two simple diffuse reflectance models for biological tissue applications. One model is based on a widely accepted and used in biomedical optics implementation of diffusion theory, and the other one is based on a semiempirical approach derived from basic physical principles. We test the models on tissue phantoms and on human skin, utilizing a standard six-around-one optical fiber probe for light delivery and collection. We show that both models are suitable for use with an optical fiber probe and illustrate the potential, applicability, and validity range of the models. 相似文献

This study aimed to assess the nutritional, hygienic and sensory characteristics of donkey milk produced in Greece and Cyprus. The average values for pH, fat, protein and lactose were 7.14, 0.52 g/100 mL, 1.22 g/100 mL and 7.01 g/100 mL, respectively, whereas aflatoxin M1 and beta‐lactam residues were not detected in any sample. The microbiological analysis revealed very low somatic cell counts and total microbial counts, while Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp and Listeria monocytogenes were not detected in any sample. The sensory evaluation classified the milk as white, thin, with a slightly sweet pleasant taste, pleasant milky aroma, sweet flavour and no persistent aftertaste. 相似文献

Interspecies and intraspecies variation in the use of wooded habitats has been studied for salmonids, but little is known about nonsalmonid species. In this study, we explored spatiotemporal differences in the distribution of three cyprinid species at habitats of varying wood density and at habitats of varying heterogeneity in a Mediterranean intermittent river (Evrotas, southern Greece). Hydroecological data from 843 microhabitats across four sites and in five sampling periods were collected and analysed using generalized linear mixed effects models. Adult chubs, minnowroaches, and minnows and, to a lesser degree, juvenile chubs, preferred complex, wooded habitats, characterized by lower flow velocities, higher water depths, finer substrate, and increased canopy cover, compared with wood‐free and noncomplex habitats. At the advanced stage of the dry period, the deeper, wooded habitats served as drought refugia; all fish groups, except for the adult chub, resorted to these habitats during autumn. In contrast, no such shifts were evident in early summer at the onset of the dry period. In late spring, all fish groups had higher densities at wooded habitats, a shift probably associated with reproduction. Wood density did not affect fish habitat use, as fish densities were similar across wooded habitats. In contrast, habitat heterogeneity significantly affected fish densities; more adult chubs and minnows were observed in complex habitats, whereas juvenile chubs and minnowroaches clearly preferred less complex habitats. We conclude that the targeted maintenance of instream wood structures to ensure habitat heterogeneity is a key‐action for the successful conservation of riverine fish populations. 相似文献

ABSTRACTLegislation in New Zealand dictates that the Whanganui River is a living entity and a legal person. Guardians uphold the river’s environmental, social, cultural and economic well-being. We provide a conceptual discussion of the river’s economic well-being, understood as the mutual enhancement of natural and human elements through community entrepreneurship that is based on human and non-human capabilities. We discuss human economic activity that preserves the right of the river to be free from pollution and form an integral part of the Māori culture and tradition, the improvement of Māori living conditions, and their rights to self-determination and prior consent. 相似文献

The effectiveness of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination strategies is affected by several factors, including the genetic background of the host. In our study, we evaluated the contribution of the functional polymorphism rs1883832 affecting the Kozak sequence of the TNFSF5 gene (c.-1C>T), encoding CD40, to humoral immune responses after vaccination with the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. The rs1883832 polymorphism was analyzed by PCR-RFLP in 476 individuals (male/female: 216/260, median age: 55.0 years, range: 20–105) of whom 342 received the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine and 134 received the adenovirus-based vector vaccines (67 on ChAdOx1-nCoV-19 vaccine, 67 on Ad.26.COV2.S vaccine). The IgG and IgA responses were evaluated with chemiluminescent microparticle and ELISA assays on days 21, 42, and 90 after the first dose. The T allele of the rs1883832 polymorphism (allele frequency: 32.8%) was significantly associated with lower IgA levels and represented, as revealed by multivariable analysis, an independent risk factor for reduced anti-spike protein IgA levels on days 42 and 90 following BNT162b2 mRNA vaccination. Similar to serum anti-spike IgA levels, a trend of lower anti-spike IgA concentrations in saliva was found in individuals with the T allele of rs1883832. Finally, the intensity of IgA and IgG responses on day 42 significantly affected the prevalence of COVID-19 after vaccination. The rs1883832 polymorphism may be used as a molecular predictor of the intensity of anti-spike IgA responses after BNT162b2 mRNA vaccination. 相似文献

Hydrogen is considered to be the future optimal energy carrier, and is expected to contribute to the growth of the world's economy by facilitating a stable supply of energy. The ability of green algae to produce hydrogen was discovered 74 years ago. Since then, several attempts were made, to increase hydrogen production yields, sulfur starvation being the best known. The main concern during these attempts was that the achievable increase in yield was not sustainable. In this contribution, potassium deficiency is presented as a biochemical/bioenergetic switch for a sustained high yield of hydrogen production via the photosynthetic apparatus. Potassium can partially be replaced by sodium in the majority of biochemical processes and as a result the system remains functional. However, sodium cannot replace potassium in the conversion of glucose to starch. This fact significantly increased the yield of hydrogen production through the Photosystem II independent pathway, since electrons originating from the metabolism of glucose are used in the continuous donation to the plastoquinone-pool of the photosynthetic electron chain. Additionally, PSII inactivation (and therefore the inhibition of O2-production), the further synthesis and over activation of Photosystem I and plastidic hydrogenase, generated a sustained increase in hydrogen production, mainly through the PSII-independent pathway. The self regulation of these multistage processes in hermitically closed static systems of Scenedesmus obliquus cultivation, permitted the establishment of anoxic conditions and the continuous electron supply to highly activated hydrogenase, resulting in the sustained high yield hydrogen production and paving the way for future usage in an industrial scale application. 相似文献

Biochemical information from activated leukocytes provide valuable diagnostic information. In this study, Raman spectroscopy was applied as a label-free analytical technique to characterize the activation pattern of leukocyte subpopulations in an in vitro infection model. Neutrophils, monocytes, and lymphocytes were isolated from healthy volunteers and stimulated with heat-inactivated clinical isolates of Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Binary classification models could identify the presence of infection for monocytes and lymphocytes, classify the type of infection as bacterial or fungal for neutrophils, monocytes, and lymphocytes and distinguish the cause of infection as Gram-negative or Gram-positive bacteria in the monocyte subpopulation. Changes in single-cell Raman spectra, upon leukocyte stimulation, can be explained with biochemical changes due to the leukocyte’s specific reaction to each type of pathogen. Raman spectra of leukocytes from the in vitro infection model were compared with spectra from leukocytes of patients with infection (DRKS-ID: DRKS00006265) with the same pathogen groups, and a good agreement was revealed. Our study elucidates the potential of Raman spectroscopy-based single-cell analysis for the differentiation of circulating leukocyte subtypes and identification of the infection by probing the molecular phenotype of those cells. 相似文献

Columns of Greek Temples under seismic loading: Columns of ancient Greek Temples consist of accurately dressed individual blocks in total absence on binding mortars. The seismic response of such multi‐drum structures is completely different than the corresponding one of modern continuous structures. Their stability is governed by independent sliding and rocking of drums, which creates an external energy absorption mechanism. This paper presents numerical studies on the dynamic behaviour of ancient columns which exhibits a highly non‐linear response. Alternative modeling methods are used and calibrated to experimental results. It is concluded that ancient columns may be less vulnerable to seismic events compared to modern structures. The perfection of the form unified esthetical, architectural and structural requirements. 相似文献
