APRICOT AND PUMPKIN OILS REDUCE PLASMA CHOLESTEROL AND TRIACYLGLYCEROL CONCENTRATIONS IN RATS FED A HIGH-FAT DIET

Apricot and pumpkin oils reduce plasma cholesterol and triacylglycerol concentrations in rats fed a high-fat diet

Non-conventional oilseeds are being taken into greater consideration because their constituents have unique chemical properties and may increase the supply of edible oils.The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of apricot kernel oil (AO) and pumpkin kernel oil (PO) on the lipid profiles and liver functions of rats fed high fa

On the Gaussian Cramér-Rao Bound for Blind Single-Input Multiple-Output System Identification: Fast and Asymptotic Computations

The Cramér-Rao Bound (CRB) is a powerful tool to assess the performance limits of a parameter estimation problem for a given The Standard Jean statistical model.In particular, the Gaussian CRB (i.e., the CRB obtained assuming the data are Gaussian) corresponds to the worst case; giving the largest CRB among a large class of data distributio

Tribological Properties and Physiochemical Analysis of Polymer-Ceramic Composite Coatings for Bone Regeneration

The biomaterial coatings for bone tissue regeneration described in this study promote bioactivity.The ceramic-polymer composite coatings deposited on polylactide (PLA) plates contain polymers, namely polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)/polyethylene glycol (PEG), while the ceramic phase is hydroxyapatite (HA).Additionally, collagen (COL) and glutathione (GSH
