The Relevance Of Gut Microbiota For The Activity Of Herbal Drugs, Rudolf Bauer

Oxford ICSB

Despite intensive research, the active principles and mechanisms of action of many herbal drugs are still not clear. Moreover, the bioavailability of many polar plant constituents is rather limited, why they are not likely to act systemically. Therefore, alternative approaches to explain their activity have to be considered. Gut microbiota and the human body form a symbiosis which is essential for our health and well-being. Dysbiosis can lead to various diseases, like inflammation, obesity, asthma, diabetes, and even cancer. Therefore, gut microbiota are a relevant target for herbal drugs, and may help to understand their effects. For example, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii …

Some Characterizations Of Weakly Pseudo Semi 2-Absorbing Submodules In Terms Of Some Types Of Modules, Omar H. Taha, Omar A. Abdullah, Ali Sh. Ajeel

Al-Bahir

The purpose of this paper is to investigate characterizations of weakly pseudo semi-2-absorbing submodules in terms of some types of modules. We provide characterizations for the class of multiplication modules with the help of some types of modules such as faithful, non-singular, Z-regular, and projective modules. Furthermore, we add some conditions to proof the residual of a weakly pseudo semi-2-absorbing submodule is a weakly pseudo semi-2-absorbing ideal.

Preparation Of Nanoparticles And Study Of The Effect Of Some Of Their Physical Properties On Epoxy Polymer, Aya N. Abdullah, Niran F. Abeduljabbar

Al-Bahir

Nanoparticles were prepared by the laboratory thermal method from copper, magnesium, and zinc oxides. Different nanoparticles were added to epoxy at weight fractions of (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10) wt. %. The structural results from X-ray diffraction showed the appearance of epoxy in a random system, and when reinforced with nanopowders at higher addition ratios, we find the appearance of nanoparticles in a clear crystalline form, while the SEM results showed an increase in consistency and homogeneity with each increase in the proportions of nanoparticles, which appeared clearly during the EDX examination. The hardness of Shore type D was …

A Likely Story: The Differing Narratives Between The Anglican And Catholic Presentation Of The Reformation, Cecilia Broxon

Scholars Week

The story of the Anglican reformation is often simplified to the result of King Henry VIII's desire for a divorce; however, this paper argues that it was a complex and prolonged process marked by differing Anglican and Catholic narratives. By exploring primary sources, including letters and interviews, as well as secondary analyses, this paper discusses misconceptions surrounding the Reformation, such as its speed and primary motivations. It further examines the formation of early Anglican doctrine and the contrasting presentations of the Reformation, revealing instances of resistance, the destruction of Catholic art, and the mistreatment of churches, which are frequently downplayed …

Harnessing The Phi-Transform For Early Warning Of Neutron Star-Black Hole Binary Events, Jaxson Mitchell, Lara Ortelli, Casey Haavind

Discovery Day - Prescott

Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of spacetime that occur from astrophysical events such the merger of two compact stellar objects. Using ground base detectors, we can measure these events and their gravitational waves. In the new era of multi-messenger astronomy, astronomy using multiple sources such as gravitational waves and electromagnetic radiation, it is vital to determine the validity of these events before their occurrence. We introduce a new method for extracting gravitational waves, specifically neutron star black hole binaries (NSBH), using the $n transform and its chirp extraction techniques. We show that noise behaves differently in this new …

Advantages, Disadvantages, And Factors Influencing The Reproductive Performance Of Gilts And Sows Raised In Gestational Group Housing And Free-Farrowing Systems, Natchanon Dumniem Dr., Thomas D. Parsons, Padet Tummaruk

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

In the modern global pig industry, there is a growing interest in animal-friendly agriculture, encouraging farmers to prioritize humane practices and meet the welfare needs of their animals. In developed countries, consumers are increasingly concerned about animal welfare, particularly regarding pigs as social animals, advocating for their housing in groups that reflect their natural behaviors in the wild. There is significant societal pressure to eliminate the use of crate systems, which cause discomfort to animals in commercial farming. In these systems, breeding females are often restricted in movement throughout the reproductive cycle. As a result, alternative husbandry and housing systems …

Methods And Systems For Cooling Cryogenic Fluid Stored In A Reservoir, Claus Rarup Lund

Defensive Publications Series

On a shipping vessel, where methane is used as fuel, the fuel is stored as liquid at cooled condition due to the properties of methane. The tank storing the fuel (methane) must be isolated to ensure that methane stays as a liquid. A general challenge with such tanks is that they cannot carry high pressures and due to heat transfer from surroundings to the tank, the methane temperature will begin to rise and boil off, which in terms will increase the pressure in the tank. The gas from this process is called “boil off gas” or just BOG.
