Application of image analysis and artificial neural networks to the prediction in-line of OTR in oak wood planks for cooperage

Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR) is an important property of the wood employed in cooperage because of its relationship with the characteristics attained by the wine during the aging process.Nevertheless, this property has not Nail Polish been considered in the barrel making process because the time and systems required for measuring it do not allow

Electrical vs manual acupuncture stimulation in a rat model of polycystic ovary syndrome: different effects on muscle and fat tissue insulin signaling.

In rats with dihydrotestosterone (DHT)-induced polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), repeated low-frequency electrical stimulation of acupuncture needles restores whole-body insulin sensitivity measured by euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp.We hypothesized that electrical stimulation causing muscle contractions and manual stimulation causing needle sens
