Improvement of solubilization and uptake of dietary antioxidants in human hepatocellular liver carcinoma (HepG2) cell line (PDNP4) by Jaswir, Irwandi, Nagao, Akihiko

“…Using this evaporation method, results showed that medium containing up to 90μM could be obtained, compared to a maximum of 15uM of lutein by using a conventional method, while THF was reduced to a non-toxic level as low as 0.01%. This finding allowed the use of high concentrations of the carotenoids for antioxidative activity study. …”

Enhancement of analyte atomic lines with excitation energies of about 5 eV in the presence of molecular gases in analytical glow discharges by Mushtaq, Sohail, Steers, Edward B. M., Pickering, Juliet C., Šmid, Petr

“…Small amounts of hydrogen or oxygen in either argon or neon plasmas cause previously unexplained enhanced excitation of various analyte atomic lines with upper energies close to 5 eV. We suggest this enhancement is due to three body collisions involving two hydrogen or oxygen atoms and a sample atom.…”

Fast transient simulation of IEEE recommended surge arrester model on a transmission line using alternative transient program (ATP) by Abu Bakar, Hizal

Causal links in QOL sub-domains accentuate greater support for physical and emotional well-being of breast cancer survivors by Abu Kassim , Noor Lide, Mohd Hanafiah, Khayriyyah, Samad Cheung, Humairah, Rahman, Mohammad Tariqur

“…In addition, PWB was relatively more influential than EWB in determining patients’ FWB and SWB while PWB, EWB and FWB collectively explained about 25% of the variability in SWB. Findings of this study thus indicate that measurement of QOL is relative to patients’ location i.e., urban or rural, which in turn reflects the patients’ education and financial background.…”
