Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRole of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme and Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphisms in Cancer Anorexia-Cachexia SyndromeAriele Fabris, Paolo Biagioni, Tiziana Punzi et al.The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is a crucial connection between aberrant immune system activation, systemic inflammation and Cancer Anorexia-Cachexia Syndrome (CACS), a syndrome that culminates in hyper-activation of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Angiotensin directly up-regulates this pathway, while vitamin D down-regulates it indirectly through the insulin-like growth factor-1 pathway. We investigated the genetic predisposition towards CACS in a cancer population, examining Insertion/Deletion (I/D) … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 2 Aug 2012 · 9,560 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffects of Tomato Geometries and Air Temperature on the Drying Behavior of Plum TomatoM.S. Brooks, N.H. Abou El-Hana, A.E. GhalyThe drying behavior of plum tomatoes as affected by drying temperature and tomato pieces geometry was investigated. The tomato was cut into halves, quarters and eighths and dried at temperatures of 55 and 65°C. During drying, the moisture content followed an exponential decay curve with R2>0.98. The time required to achieve the critical moisture content for storage (15%) for the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,104 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRole of Evaporation in Degrading the "Oil Lakes"Al Rashed Ahamad, Colin BarkerProblem statement: Oil Spills are degraded by aerobic bacteria, water washing, evaporation and oxidation.
