Blood rheology plays an essential role in the functioning of complex organisms, as blood flow facilitates the transport of oxygen and nutrients, the immune response, and the self-healing of the vessel network after injury. Furthermore, changes in blood rheology can often be used as a biomarker for blood-related diseases and disorders. One of the prominent questions is how macroscopic properties of blood emerge from the mechanical properties of suspended cells, their flow dynamics, and interactio
Mucus is a highly glycosylated protein protecting the epidermal cells and can be found in respiratory, gastrointestinal, urogenital, and vaginal tracts of animals and humans. In fish and aquatic invertebrates, mucus can also be found on the ‘outside’ as an antimicrobial barrier and physically protective layer of skin and gills. Mucus is not only the first line of defense but also provides a filtering function for nutrients and gases to pass to the epidermal cell. In this dual role as gateway, mu
The object of research: ultrasonic processing technology of textile materials.

The main scientific results: The article shows the potential of textile production to ensure the environmental friendliness of textile products, and the development and implementation of new eco-technologies of physical and mechanical cottonization of hemp fiber is impo
Abstract
Despite government’s push for the use of prefabrication in Singapore, the problem is that offsite manufacturers of prefabricated building components (hereinafter referred to as manufactures) appear to be unable to harness their inherent strengths, overcome their weaknesses and external threats to take advantage of the available opportunities in the construction market. The aim of this study is to do a SWOT analysis on Singapore’s manufacturers and develop strategies to en
Introduction. The construction technology of prefabricated buildings, along with the high quality of construction, is widely used for all types of buildings and structures.Aim. To maximize the safety of people and equipment after impact. This is achieved by:1) development of a design solution for a thin-walled plate-membrane capable of obtaining significant deflections without collapse;2) technologies for assembling spatial block modules made of membrane plates without welding;3) working out tec
This research aimed to prepare and assess an aloin nanoparticle that might increase its oral bioavailability. Utilizing the nanoprecipitation process, aloin Poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) nanoparticulate was formulated and studied for the best strategy based on their characteristics and in-vitro release. The aloin nanoparticle stability research was evaluated at room temperature for a duration of three months. Additionally, pharmacokinetic (PK) tests were analyzed by using various parameter
Abstract
Purpose:
Despite the promising therapeutic potential of α-mangostin (MG) as a nutraceutical anticancer agent, its clinical utility remains limited due to poor oral bioavailability. This study aimed to enhance the bioavailability and anticancer activity of MG through formulation into biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles.
Methods:
MG-loaded nanoparticles (MG-NPs) were prepared using polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) as the carrier polymer via the emuls
Soybean meal is the dominant protein source in animal feed, but rising costs have encouraged the search for alternatives. Canavalia gladiata, a tropical legume with good yield potential and resistance to pests, contains about 26% protein. However, its use in non-ruminant diets is constrained by anti-nutritional factors. Fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been shown to enhance protein content and reduce anti-nutrients in various feed ingredients, making it a promising strategy for imp
The objective of this work was to evaluate the Amino Acid profile/score and In-vitro protein digestibility of composite biscuits produced from blends of Wheat flour (WHF), African breadfruit flour (ABF)and Moringa seed flour(MSF) at the following ratios (Sample A: WHF 100%: ABF 0; MSF 0, B= WHF 77.5%:ABF 20%: MSF 2.5%, C=WHF 75%: ABF 20%: MSF 5.0%, D= WHF 72.5%: ABF 20%: MSF 7.5%. E = WHF 70%: ABF 20%: MSF 10%, F = WHF 90%: ABF 0: MSF 10%, G = WHF 80%: ABF 20%: MSF 0). The most predominant Amino
The nutritional value of Inga paterno seeds remains largely unexplored. Given the global protein deficiency, underutilized legumes like I. paterno could serve as alternative protein sources. This study evaluated the effect of sprouting on the composition, protein digestibility (PD) as soluble protein (SP), amino acid profile, free amino acids by UHPLC, and nutritional indicators of I. paterno seed flour. Seeds were sprouted for 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 days, then dried, milled, and analyzed. The see
In this paper, the extraction of polyphenols from amaranth seed using a Box–Benhken design using four factors—ultra-turrax speed, solid-to-liquid ratio (RSL), methanol concentration and extraction time—were studied. There were two responses studied for the model: total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC). The factors which influenced the most the extraction of the TPC and TFC were the RSL, methanol concentration and ultra-turrax speed. Twelve phenolic acids (rosmarinic acid,
