Background/Aims: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is the most common functional gastrointestinal disorder, and its definite etiology is still unclear.It has been shown that personality characteristics can affect the disease presentation and attitude of patient toward symptoms.This study was undertaken to evaluate the personality characteristics in pa
Combined lipidomic and proteomic analysis of isolated human islets exposed to palmitate reveals time-dependent changes in insulin secretion and lipid metabolism.
Studies on the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have linked the accumulation of lipid metabolites to the development of beta-cell dysfunction and impaired insulin secretion.In most in vitro models of T2DM, rodent islets or beta-cell lines are used and typically focus is on specific cellular pathways or organs.Our aim was to, first
Thermal design studies in superconducting rf cavities: Phonon peak and Kapitza conductance
Thermal design studies of superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities involve two thermal parameters, namely the temperature dependent thermal conductivity of Nb at low temperatures and the heat transfer coefficient at the Nb-He II interface, commonly known as the Kapitza conductance.During the fabrication process of the SRF cavities, Nb sheet i
Direct esterification of olive-pomace oil using mesoporous silica supported sulfonic acids
Mesoporous silica MCM-41 and SBA-15 containing propyl sulfonic acid groups were synthesized according to the literature and were characterized by X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption and the H+ exchange capacities of the sulfonic acid groups were titrated.The esterification reaction of glycerol with olive-pomace oil has been carried out by using prepar
