TL;DR: The results indicated that dimeric, trimeric, oligomersic, oligomeric, or polymeric procyanidins account for most of the superior antioxidant capacity of grape seeds.
Abstract: Grape seeds and skins are good sources of phytochemicals such as gallic acid, catechin, and epicatechin and are suitable raw materials for the production of antioxidative dietary supplements. The differences in levels of the major monomeric flavanols and phenolic acids in seeds and skins from grapes of Vitis vinifera varieties Merlot and Chardonnay and in seeds from grapes of Vitis rotundifolia variety Muscadine were determined, and the antioxidant activities of these components were assessed. The contribution of the major monomeric flavonols and phenolic acid to the total antioxidant capacity of grape seeds and skins was also determined. Gallic acid, monomeric catechin, and epicatechin concentrations were 99, 12, and 96 mg/100 g of dry matter (dm) in Muscadine seeds, 15, 358, and 421 mg/100 g of dm in Chardonnay seeds, and 10, 127, and 115 mg/100 g of dm in Merlot seeds, respectively. Concentrations of these three compounds were lower in winery byproduct grape skins than in seeds. These three major phenolic constituents of grape seeds contributed catechin > epicatechin = gallocatechin > gallic acid = ellagic acid. The results indicated that dimeric, trimeric, oligomeric, or polymeric procyanidins account for most of the superior antioxidant capacity of grape seeds.

TL;DR: This paper explored public-service motivation (PSM) to whistle-blowing, an actual behavior that occurs in the public service and established a conceptual linkage between PSM and whistle blowing by comparing the respective literatures.
Abstract: This chapter builds on and extends previous research by supplying the first hard behavioral evidence to support the theory. It explores public-service motivation (PSM) to whistle blowing—an actual behavior that occurs in the public service. The chapter establishes a conceptual linkage between PSM and whistle blowing by comparing the respective literatures. It formulates and tests a set of hypotheses using archival data from a recent survey of federal employees, some of whom are whistle blowers. The chapter discusses the implications of this research for public managers and scholars. The idea of civil servants acting on motives of duty and self-sacrifice promotes a positive image of the public service. PSM is a cluster of attitudes toward performance of public service. The chapter argues that these attitudes lead to prosocial behaviors such as whistle blowing. It shows that whistle blowers have more PSM-related attitudes than inactive observers have, thereby providing evidence of this proposed relationship.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyse pre-main sequence evolutionary tracks for low mass stars with masses 1.4m and 1.5m and show that at low surface gravity, the common picture of vertical Hayashi lines is oversimplified.
Abstract: We analyse pre-Main Sequence evolutionary tracks for low mass stars with masses $m \\le 1.4 \\msol$ based on the Baraffe et al. (1998) input physics. We also extend the recent Chabrier et al. (2000) evolutionary models based on dusty atmosphere to young brown dwarfs down to one mass of Jupiter. We analyse current theoretical uncertainties due to molecular line lists, convection and initial conditions. Simple tests on initial conditions show the high uncertainties of models at ages $\\simle$ 1 Myr. We find a significant sensitivity of atmosphere profiles to the treatment of convection at low gravity and $\\te < 4000$ K, whereas it vanishes as gravity increases. This effect adds another source of uncertainty on evolutionary tracks at very early phases. We show that at low surface gravity ($\\log g \\simle 3.5$,) the common picture of vertical Hayashi lines with constant $\\te$ is oversimplified. The effect of a variation of initial deuterium abundance is studied. We compare our models with evolutionary tracks available in the literature and discuss the main differences. We finally analyse to which extent current observations of young systems provide a good test for pre-Main Sequence tracks.
