Trans FA (TFA), solid fat contents (SFC), and slip melting points of 12 different tub and stick margarines marketed in Turkey were
examined in this study. No trans isomers were found in four margarines, which suggests they were formulated from interesterified or blended fats and oils.
The products with no TFA generally had more short-chain saturated FA, which suggests coconut oil-based oil components. TFA
content of the other 10 products varied from 7.7 to 37.8%. Compared to the products formulated in North America, Turkish margarines
contain more TFA and have higher SFC. 相似文献
Epidemiological studies suggest the existence of a strong relationship between the incidence of prostatic cancer and the intake
of dietary lipids in humans. However, very little information is available on intracellular fatty acid metabolism in human
prostatic tissue. The objective of this study was to identify and subsequently characterize a fatty acid binding protein of
human prostatic tissue. A fatty acid binding protein (FABP) was purified and characterized from human prostatic tissue. The
purified FABP had an apparent molecular mass of 15.0±1.0 kDa as averaged from three different methods, sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide
gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), gel filtration and amino acid analysis. The pI value of the protein was determined to be 6.8.
Scatchard analysis of fatty acid binding to the purified FABP from malignant prostatic tissue showed a Kd value of 0.53±0.02
μM for arachidonic acid (n=5). The Kd values of FABP purified from benign prostatic tissue were 0.57±0.02 μM for oleic acid
and 0.51±0.04 μM for arachidonic acid (n=5). Fatty acid analysis revealed that the level of endogenously bound arachidonic
acid was about 2.5-fold higher in FABP from malignant than from benign tissue. In addition, both malignant and benign tissues
contained the same concentration of FABP. The concentrations of FABP in malignant and benign tissues were 19.2±1.8 and 21.4±2.1
μg per mg of total cytosolic protein, respectively. Characterization based on amino acid composition, isoelectric point and
fluorescence with dansyl undecanoic acid suggests that the FABP may not be of the heart type, but is rather more closely related
to the liver type. As malignant prostatic tissue produces more PGE2 compared to benign tissue, our data suggest that FABP may help enhancing the synthesis of the prostaglandin in malignant
tissue by facilitating arachidonic acid transport.

Automatic key concept identification from text is the main challenging task in information extraction, information retrieval, digital libraries, ontology learning, and text analysis. The main difficulty lies in the issues with the text data itself, such as noise in text, diversity, scale of data, context dependency and word sense ambiguity. To cope with this challenge, numerous supervised and unsupervised approaches have been devised. The existing topical clustering-based approaches for keyphrase extraction are domain dependent and overlooks semantic similarity between candidate features while extracting the topical phrases. In this paper, a semantic based unsupervised approach (KP-Rank) is proposed for keyphrase extraction. In the proposed approach, we exploited Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) and clustering techniques and a novel frequency-based algorithm for candidate ranking is introduced which considers locality-based sentence, paragraph and section frequencies. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, three benchmark datasets (i.e. Inspec, 500N-KPCrowed and SemEval-2010) from different domains are used. The experimental results show that overall, the KP-Rank achieved significant improvements over the existing approaches on the selected performance measures.
As the number of objectives increases, the performance of the Pareto dominance-based Evolutionary Multi-objective Optimization (EMO) algorithms such as NSGA-II, SPEA2 severely deteriorates due to the drastic increase in the Pareto-incomparable solutions. We propose a sorting method which classifies these incomparable solutions into several ordered classes by using the decision maker's (DM) preference information. This is accomplished by designing an interactive evolutionary algorithm and constructing convex cones. This method allows the DMs to drive the search process toward a preferred region of the Pareto optimal front. The performance of the proposed algorithm is assessed for two, three, and four-objective knapsack problems. The results demonstrate the algorithm's ability to converge to the most preferred point. The evaluation and comparison of the results indicate that the proposed approach gives better solutions than that of NSGA-II. In addition, the approach is more efficient compared to NSGA-II in terms of the number of generations required to reach the preferred point. 相似文献
A eugenol-based silicone-containing monomer 4,4′-(1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane-1,3-dipropyl)bis-2-methoxyphenol(EUSi) was synthesized from eugenol and 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane via the hydrosilylation reaction. And waterborne polyurethane (WPU) with excellent properties was obtained by using EUSi as a type of diol chain extender. The unique combination of rigidity and flexibility in the chemical structure of EUSi greatly facilitated the mechanical properties, thermal properties, and water resistance of WPU. With only a 3% dosage of EUSi, the maximum tensile strength was increased from 6.2 to 22.4 MPa, while the water absorption was decreased from 31.3% to a surprisingly 7.6%. Our work provides a new convenient strategy for the preparation of organosilicon-modified WPU with improved performance. 相似文献
In this work, the curing of «ED-20» epoxy resin with partially siloxy-substituted aluminum, iron, and zirconium siloxanes that we obtained previously was studied. The initial content of a metallosiloxane in the compositions was 5–50 wt% with respect to the resin. In all the cases, thermal curing was used to obtain a series of samples in the form of solid homogeneous materials. The fact of the epoxy ring opening in the resin was confirmed by IR spectroscopy. The catalytic properties of the metal atom in a metallosiloxane were found to affect the curing process. The samples demonstrate rather a high resistance to thermooxidative destruction, and in most cases, their glass transition temperatures are lower than those obtained upon standard curing of «ED-20» resin with triethylenetetramine. Partially siloxy-substituted metalloalkoxysiloxanes can be efficient agents for curing and formation of a hybrid material based on epoxy resins. 相似文献
Poly(N-methylaniline) (PNMA) coatings have been electropolymerized on 304 stainless steel alloy by potentiodynamic, galvanostatic and potentiostatic synthesis techniques from aqueous solutions of 0.1 M N-methylaniline (NMA) and 0.3 M oxalic acid. Characterization of PNMA coatings was carried out by cyclic voltammetry, UV-Vis and FTIR spectroscopy techniques. Corrosion behavior of PNMA coated stainless steel electrodes was investigated using linear anodic potentiodynamic polarization, Tafel test, chronoamperometry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques in 0.5 M aqueous HCl solutions. Corrosion test results showed that PNMA coatings possessed protection to uncoated stainless steel against corrosion. 相似文献
In this systematic study, dispersion-strengthening effect of the Cu–25.91Mn (wt.%), Cu–26.62Mn–8.99Al (wt.%), Cu–22.17Mn–12.32Zn (wt.%) ingot alloys have been investigated. Samples were homogenized at a high fixed temperature in different periods and cooled with different cooling rates. After processes, microanalysis of the samples were interpreted by using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and weight percentages of the elements of the occurrence phases in the samples obtained by using electron dispersion spectroscopy (EDS) technique. Additionally, some characteristic properties of the heat treated samples with different conditions of Cu–Mn, Cu–Mn–Al, Cu–Mn–Zn ingot alloys were also discussed. 相似文献
