Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the chemical-nutritional parameters, oxidative stability and volatile profile of eggs and cakes made with eggs from laying hens fed with a dietary supplementation of extruded linseed. Methods: Two thousand ISA Warren laying hens were randomly divided into two groups: a control group was fed with a standard diet while the experimental group received the same diet supplemented with 7% of extruded linseed. The trial lasted 84 days, in which three samplings of laid eggs were performed. Samples of eggs and food systems arising from eggs were then analyzed in order to obtain information about β-carotene and total flavonoid content, antioxidant activity, fatty acid profile, lipid oxidation, and volatile profile. Results: Linseed induced the increase of α-linolenic acid with consequent reduction of the ω-6/ω-3 ratio (4.3:1 in egg yolk); in addition to this, was evidenced the cholesterol reduction and the significant increase in total flavonoids and β-carotene, although no variations were detected in antioxidant capacity. Even in cooked products there was not only a direct effect of linseed in increasing α-linolenic acid, but also in inducing the reduction of cholesterol and its major oxidation product, 7-ketocholesterol. The dietary linseed integration was also shown to affect the volatile profile of baked products. Conclusion: Data confirmed that dietary supplementation with extruded linseed resulted in food products with interesting implications for human health. With regard to the volatile profile of baked products it would be necessary undertake further sensorial analysis in order to evaluate any variations on flavor and consumer acceptability.

Luminscence spectra and decay of crystalline hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-s-tetrazine (RDX) are observed at 90 K and the effects of photochemical reaction on the luminescence of RDX are investigated. The uv light from high power Hg lamp is used for the photochemical reaction of RDX. While no significant changes are observed in the luminescence spectra after the photochemical reaction, the intensity profile of the spectra changes with the progress of chemical reactions. The biexponential decay of luminescence is modified by chemical reactions. Features of the electronic states of crystalline RDX are discussed in relation to the luminescence.

We examined theory for force-induced unbinding on a two-dimensional free energy surface where the internal dynamics of biomolecules is coupled with the rupture process under constant tension f. We show that only if the transition state ensemble is narrow and activation barrier is high, the f-dependent rupture rate in the 2D potential surface can faithfully be described using an effective 1D energy profile.

The reaction of cysteine with cinnamaldehyde have been studied kinetically and thermodynamically. It was found that the reaction proceeds in two steps; formation of the monoadduct by a Michael type addition followed by the nucleophilic attack of the second cysteine to the carbonyl carbon of the monoadduct to afford the thiazolidine derivative. A reaction profile for the reaction of cysteine with cinnamaldehyde was constructed based on the thermodynamic parameters analyzed for the forward and the reverse reactions. It was assumed that the second step of this reaction accompanies an intermediate, a Schiff base.

Theoretical studies on the proton transfer reaction in a formamide dimer have been done by Ab initio SCF calculation. In this study, we have shown several effects on the potential energy profile of the proton transfer in a formamide dimer, such as the effect of a basis set, the effect of a geometry optimization, and the effect of a distance between proton-donor and proton-acceptor.

The effects of anthryl derivatives and 9-aminoacridine on the thermal melting profile of a poly(dA)[poly(dT)]₂triplex were compared 9-Aminoacridine stabilizes the triplex far more effectively than anthryl derivatives. The absorption and CD and LD spectroscopic characteristics of anthryl derivatives are similar to those of 9-aminoacridine when complexed with the triplex; the N atom of acridine, which can act as a hydrogen bond acceptor, plays an important role in triplex stabilization.

A theoretical study for the flux enhancement by pulsation of transmembrane pressure is presented for osmotic pressure controlled ultrafiltration under laminar flow regime. The transient velocity profile is solved analytically using Green's function method. Time dependent convective diffusive equation is solved to quantify the membrane surface concentration and the permeate flux, numerically. The effects of the amplitude and frequency of pulsation on flux, surface concentration and observed retention are studied.

We have studied a characterization method of accurate size of spherical particles by fitting experimental light scattering profile to the rigorous theoretical scattering function. An efficient software has been developed for computation of the theoretical scattering function and regression analysis. A light scattering instrument has been built and the necessary data acquisition and analysis are carried out by use of a personal computer with an emphasis on the reduction of analysis and time aiming that this study will be extended toward a development of a practical particle sizing apparatus. The performance of the instrument and the software has been evaluated with latex spheres and found to be satisfactory.

Time profile of the transient grating signal induced by a nanosecond pulsed laser excitation of methyl red is investigated in alcohols and toluene at several solvent temperatures. The signal decays biexponentially with well-separated time constants; the faster decay is identified as due to thermal diffusion of the solvents and the slower one as mainly due to translational diffusion of the solute. The measured translational diffusion constants of methyl red in toluene are close to a hydrodynamic prediction with a slip boundary condition while those in alcohols are larger by 30% and increase slightly with the size of alcohols. We compare the results with modified hydrodynamic models.

In this study, the reproducibility of blood alcohol concentration (BAC) - time profile for the same individuals were investigated. Five Korean males were made to drink 55.5 g of ethyl alcohol (neglecting body weight) in the form of undiluted Soju (22% v/v), Korean popular liquor, within 30 min and each drinking sessions were performed for five times. Two kind of side dishes, a sliced raw fish and a sweet and sour pork, were served alternately along with alcohol. The peak BAC reaching time, the maximum BAC and the reduction rate of BAC of an individual varied greatly even though the dose and drinking time interval were not changed. Also, the food taken along with alcohol varies the shape of BAC - time profile. From the repetitive drinking sessions we can know that the BAC - time profile of an individual is not a reproducible one even though the dose, kind of liquer, drinking time and food were maintained constantly. It means that any assumption of blood alcohol concentration of an individual at a previous time stage based on the alcohol dose can not be justified because of large fluctuation of BAC-time profile of an individual.
