TL;DR: Testing the hypothesis that early neonatal connections might account for certain sprouting phenomena in the central nervous system showed that neonatal corticofugal projections to the superior colliculus, red nucleus and spinal cord were unilateral and could not explain the bilateral corticopontine projections to these areas soon after neonatal SMC lesions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used thiobarbituric (TBA) test and sensory evaluations to determine Oxidative Rancidity in stored cooked ground turkey and beef.
Abstract: Oxidative rancidity in stored cooked ground turkey and beef was determined by the thiobarbituric (TBA) test and sensory evaluations. There was an increase in rancidity with storage for all samples; however, beef treated with onion juice or textured vegetable protein showed a slower rate of deterioration. Rancidity in turkey was effectively controlled by hot-water extracts of eggplant tissue, peels of yellow onions, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, although initial values were high. There were high positive correlations between TBA values and panel scores for cooked ground beef. Panel members were less sensitive to the rancid odor in turkey and failed to give low sensory ratings even though TBA numbers were high.

TL;DR: Water content increased, but crude protein, lipids, crude fiber, ash and carbohydrates decreased with germination, and trypsin inhibitor activity did not change significantly while hemagglutinins were absent.
Abstract: The effect of germination on the nutritive value of mung beans (Vigna radiata) was studied in raw and cooked samples after 0, 2 and 4 days of germination. Water content increased, but crude protein, lipids, crude fiber, ash and carbohydrates decreased with germination. Trypsin inhibitor activity did not change significantly while hemagglutinins were absent. Essential amino acids (methionine, tyrptophan and lysine) decreased with germination.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that dry heating of rapeseed before grinding increased the sulphur content of the crude rapeseed oil, and that boiling the seeds in H2O before grinding caused a slight decrease in the sulphurate level of the oil.
Abstract: Dry heating of rapeseed before grinding increased the sulphur content of the crude rapeseed oil. Boiling the seeds in H2O before grinding caused a slight decrease in the sulphur level of the oil. Control of pH during boiling of the ground rapeseed increased the sulphur content of the oil from ca. 2 ppm at pH 3.1 to ca. 10 ppm at pH 7.6.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the Euclidean electromagnetic field as Ito's random current, which facilitates a simple proof of its Markov property and showed that the electromagnetic field can be interpreted as a random current.
Abstract: Euclidean electromagnetic field is considered as Ito's random current, which facilitates a simple proof of its Markov property.

TL;DR: This article showed that the connection between a euclidean Markov scalar field and a stochastic scalar fields fails to hold for tensor fields, even when the field is a tensor tensor.

TL;DR: Thyroid hormone concentrations and secretion rate of Tragulus javanicus exposed to 27 and 33°C were measured and the values were lower at33°C, which was decreased by the higher ambient temperature.

TL;DR: The safety of hepatic resections in the hands is described which the author believes is due to specially designed surgical instruments and the accurate decision making process at surgery.
Abstract: We present a study of 288 hepatic resections carried out in Malaysia for the past fifteen years.

TL;DR: Demographic and drug abuse characteristics of 3,484 new drug abuse contacts presenting to the General Hospital, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia are reported and it is suggested that the Chinese of this study did not learn narcotic abuse from opium-smoking relatives.
Abstract: Demographic and drug abuse characteristics of 3,484 new drug abuse contacts presenting to the General Hospital, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia are reported. The large majority were heroin inhalers. They were different from the traditional Eastern opium inhalers and similar to Western heroin injectors in that they were young, male, single, and frequently unemployed. These features and the relative underrepresentation of Chinese suggest that the Chinese of this study did not learn narcotic abuse from opium-smoking relatives.

TL;DR: This study indicates that although cardiovascular response between the rwo groups was not significantly different, 15 minutes isometric leg exercise at 15% MVC has challenged this system in a such a Il'ay to ji/(till the metabolic requirement of the working muscle ill both groups.
Abstract: Seven non-anthletes [21 26 yrs] and five athletes [23 29 yrs] have participated in the study of cardiovascular and metabolic responses to 15 minutes isometric leg exercise at 15% of each of their maximal voluntary contraction force [MVC]. Oxygen consumption [V02 ]. heart rate [HR] and blood pressure (BP]. were measured during resting. exercise and recovery! periods. The results show that there were a significant increase in V0 2• HR and BP of the two groups studied during exercise, but no significant difference between groups has been found. This study indicates that although cardiovascular response between the rwo groups was not significantly different, 15 minutes isometric leg exercise at 15% MVC has challenged this system in a such a Il'ay to ji/(till the metabolic requirement of the working muscle ill both groups. This finding was discussed in light of the available literatures.
