Olive crushing, olive-paste kneading and separation of the oil the most important technological steps in olive oil production since they directly influence the future quality of the product.The contact between the oil and the olive-paste increases lipolysis and lipid oxidation, which are mainly due to the highly-active lipases present in Keratin Co
Distribution Patterns of Iron-Oxidizing Zeta- and Beta-Proteobacteria From Different Environmental Settings at the Jan Mayen Vent Fields
Iron oxidizers are widespread in marine environments and play an important role in marine iron cycling.However, little is known about the overall distribution of iron oxidizers within hydrothermal systems, including settings with Gloves and Scarves little hydrothermal activity.Moreover, the extent to which different phylogenetic groups of iron oxid
Theoretical Mapping of Suicidal Risk Factors During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Mini-Review
Suicide prevention in times of COVID-19 pandemic has become more challenging than ever due to unusual circumstances.The common risk factors identified with regard to suicidal behavior are fear of COVID-19, economic instability, poor access to healthcare facilities, pre-existing psychiatric disorders, and social disconnect.The studies done so far ha
Turgor Pressure and Possible Constriction Mechanisms in Bacterial Division
Bacterial cytokinesis begins with the assembly of FtsZ into a Z ring at the center of the cell.The Z-ring constriction in Gram-negative bacteria may occur in an environment where the periplasm and the cytoplasm are isoosmotic, but in Gram-positive bacteria the constriction may have to overcome a substantial turgor pressure.We address three potentia
Feasibility and outcome of mitral valve repair in patients with infective endocarditis
Abstract Background Valve repair is the treatment of choice for native mitral valve regurgitation.The feasibility of repair when the defect is caused by acute infective Jackets/Outerwear endocarditis (IE) is debated.This study aims to compare the outcome of repair and replacement procedures, to report the rate of repair in a single surgical center,
