Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and its analogs, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and tert-butyl-hydroquinone (TBHQ), are widely used synthetic preservatives to inhibit lipid oxidation in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Despite their widespread use, little is known about their human exposure and related biotransformation products. The metabolism of these compounds was investigated using in vitro incubations with human and rat liver fractions. Liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry was employed to detect and characterize stable and reactive species formed via oxidative metabolism, as well as phase II conjugates. Several oxidative metabolites have been detected, as well as glutathione, glucuronide, and sulfate conjugates, many of which were not previously reported. A combination of accurate mass measurements, MS/MS fragmentation behavior, and isotope-labeling studies were used to elucidate metabolite structures. 相似文献

In this paper, we design and implement two new stream ciphers based on Pseudo Chaotic Number Generators (PCNGs) which integrate discrete chaotic maps, namely, Piecewise Linear Chaotic Map (PWLCM), Skewtent and Logistic map. They are weakly coupled by a predefined matrix A for the first PCNG and they are coupled by a binary diffusion matrix D for the second one. Each PCNG includes a chaotic multiplexing technique that allows the enhancement of the robustness of the system. The structure is implemented with finite precision N = 32 bits in C language. Security performance of the proposed stream ciphers is analysed and several cryptanalytic and statistical tests are applied. Experimental results highlight robustness as well as efficiency in terms of computation time of these two stream ciphers. 相似文献

Although it is known that textile wastewater contains highly toxic contaminants whose effects in humans represent public health problems in several countries, studies involving mammal species are scarce. This study was aimed to evaluate the toxicity profile of 90-days oral administration of textile dyeing effluent (TDE) on oxidative stress status and histological changes of male mice. The TDE was collected from the textile plant of Monastir, Tunisia and evaluated for the metals, aromatic amines, and textile dyes using analytical approaches. Metal analysis by ICP-MS showed that the tested TDE exhibited very high levels of Cr, As, and Sr, which exceeded the wastewater emission limits prescribed by WHO and Tunisian authority. The screening of TDE through UPLC-MS/MS confirmed the presence of two textile dyes: a triphenylmethane dye (Crystal violet) and a disperse azo dye (Disperse yellow 3). Exposure to TDE significantly altered the malondialdehyde (MDA), Conjugated dienes (CDs), Sulfhydryl proteins (SHP) and catalase levels in the hepatic and renal tissues. Furthermore, histopathology observation showed that hepatocellular and renal lesions were induced by TDE exposure. The present study concluded that TDE may involve induction of oxidative stress which ensues in pathological lesions in several vital organs suggesting its high toxicity. Metals and textile dyes may be associated with the observed toxicological effects of the TDE. These pollutants, which may have seeped into surrounding rivers in Monastir city, can cause severe health malaise in wildlife and humans. 相似文献

In the present investigation, the multiple phase changes occurring during solidification and subsequent cooling of near-eutectic
ductile cast iron have been modeled using the internal state variable approach. According to this formalism, the microstructure
evolution is captured mathematically in terms of differential variation of the primary state variables with time for each
of the relevant mechanisms. Separate response equations have then been developed to convert the current values of the state
variables into equivalent volume fractions of constituent phases utilizing the constraints provided by the phase diagram.
The results may conveniently be represented in the form of C curves and process diagrams to illuminate how changes in alloy
composition, graphite nucleation potential, and thermal program affect the microstructure evolution at various stages of the
process. The model can readily be implemented in a dedicated numerical code for the thermal field in real castings and used
as a guiding tool in design of new treatment alloys for ductile cast irons. An illustration of this is given in an accompanying
article (Part II). 相似文献

This paper deals with the Electric Vehicle (EV) Scheduling and Optimal Charging Problem. More precisely, given a fleet of EVs and Combustion Engine Vehicles (CVs), a set of tours to be processed by vehicles and a charging infrastructure, the problem aims to optimise the assignment of vehicles to tours and minimise the charging cost of EVs while considering several operational constraints mainly related to chargers, electricity grid and EVs driving range. We prove that the Electric Vehicle Scheduling and Charging Problem (EVSCP) is NP-hard in the ordinary sense. We provide a mixed-integer linear programming formulation to model the EVSCP and use CPLEX to solve small and medium instances. To solve large instances, we propose two heuristics: a Sequential Heuristic (SH) and a Global Heuristic (GH). The SH considers the EVs sequentially. To each EV, it assigns a set of tours and guarantees the feasibility of a charging schedule. Then, it generates an optimal charging schedule for this EV. However, the GH computes, in the first step, a feasible assignment of tours to all EVs. In the second step, it applies a global Min-Cost-Flow-based charging algorithm to minimise the charging cost of the EVs fleet. To evaluate the efficiency of our solving approaches, computational results on a large set of real and randomly generated test instances are reported and compared. 相似文献

Alginate as a source of dietary fiber 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Alginate, an algal polysaccharide, is widely used in the food industry as a stabilizer, or as a thickening or emulsifying agent. As an indigestible polysaccharide, alginate may also be viewed as a source of dietary fiber. Previous work has suggested that dietary fibres may protect against the onset and continuation of a number of cardiovascular and gastrointestinal diseases. This article aims to examine what is currently understood about the fiber-like activities of alginate, particularly its effects on intestinal absorption and the colon, and therefore aims to gauge the potential use of alginate as a dietary supplement for the maintenance of normal health, or the alleviation of certain cardiovascular or gastrointestinal diseases. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The root powder of Periploca laevigata is used for preparing soft drinks and as an aromatic in Tunisia. The infusion or decoction of its root bark has widespread use in folk medicine. The plant is used to treat digestive disorders and hypertensive effects as well as other health problems. RESULTS: The antioxidant activities of extracts of P. laevigata root bark obtained with solvents of different polarity were investigated using assays of 1,1‐diphenyl‐2‐picrylhydrazyl radical‐scavenging activity, ferric‐reducing capacity, β‐carotene‐bleaching ability, hydroxyl radical‐scavenging activity and lipid peroxidation inhibition. The methanol extract, with the highest amount of total phenolics and flavonoids, showed the highest antioxidant activities in all assays, followed by the water extract. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry was used to determine the composition of the water and methanol extracts. Thirty‐four compounds were identified in the methanol extract, with proflavine (516.2 g kg?1 dry matter (DM)) and 4‐methoxysalicylaldehyde (198.3 g kg?1 DM) being the most abundant. Sixteen compounds were identified in the water extract, of which 4‐hydroxy‐3‐methoxyphenethylene glycol (351.2 g kg?1 DM) was the main component. CONCLUSION: As far as is known, this is the first report on the chemical composition and biological activities of phenolic extracts from P. laevigata. The results of the study indicate that the root bark of this plant might be a good candidate for further investigation in developing new antioxidants.

The present study describes the chemical composition, and antimicrobial, antioxidant and angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities of essential oil from Periploca laevigata root barks (PLRB), an aromatic plant widely distributed in Tunisia and used as a traditional medicinal plant. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry was used to determine the composition of the PLRB oil. Forty-three components were identified in the essential oil and the main compounds were benzaldehyde (56%), methyl 4-methoxysalicylate (6.55%) and carvacrol (4.75%). The PLRB essential oil exhibited a dose-dependent manner of inhibitory activity toward ACE. The highest ACE inhibitory activity (54%) was observed at a concentration of 30 μg/ml. The PLRB oil was also found to possess antioxidant activities, as evaluated by the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical method, β-carotene bleaching and reducing power assays. The antimicrobial activity of the essential oil was also investigated on several microorganisms. The inhibition zones and minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of bacterial strains were in the range of 12–46 mm and 50–300 μg/ml, respectively. The inhibitory activity of the PLRB essential oil against Gram-positive bacteria was significantly higher than against Gram-negative. It also exhibited remarkable activity against several fungal strains. 相似文献

The shape of an object is fundamental in object recognition but it is still an open issue to what extent shape differences are perceived analytically (i.e., by the dimensional structure of the shapes) or holistically (i.e., by the overall similarity of the shapes). The dimensional structure of a stimulus is available in a primary stage of processing for separable dimensions, although it can also be derived cognitively from a perceived stimulus consisting of integral dimensions. Contrary to most experimental paradigms, the present study asked participants explicitly to analyze shapes according to two dimensions. The dimensions of interest were aspect ratio and medial axis curvature, and a new procedure was used to measure the participants' interpretation of both dimensions (Part I, Experiment 1). The subjectively interpreted shape dimensions showed specific characteristics supporting the conclusion that they also constitute perceptual dimensions with objective behavioral characteristics (Part II): (1) the dimensions did not correlate in overall similarity measures (Experiment 2), (2) they were more separable in a speeded categorization task (Experiment 3), and (3) they were invariant across different complex 2-D shapes (Experiment 4). The implications of these findings for shape-based object processing are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2011 APA, all rights reserved) 相似文献
