Effect of Moisture Content on Physical Properties of Fluted Pumpkin Seeds
Augustine O. Igbozulike,Nnamdi Amamgbo 한국농업기계학회 2019 바이오시스템공학 Vol.44 No.2
Purpose A number of physical properties of fluted pumpkin seeds were evaluated to obtain data for the mechanization of the crop’s production and the design of its postharvest equipment. Methods The properties were investigated at five different moisture content levels, namely 51.50, 53.60, 58.03, 64.02, and 67.30% (wet basis). Standard methods, as reported in the literature for other agricultural products, were used to investigate the relationship between these physical properties and moisture content. Linear regression equations were used to express the relationships between moisture content and the physical properties of the seeds. Results The seed dimensions increased with an increase in moisture content. The geometric and arithmetic mean diameters increased from 2.43 to 2.65 cm and 2.65 to 2.82 cm, respectively, as moisture content increased. The true and bulk densities decreased from 1.08 to 0.97 g/cm3 and 0.98 to 0.69 g/cm3, respectively, with an increase in moisture content. The angle of repose of the seeds reduced from 40.79° to 36.05° as moisture content increased from 51.50 to 67.30%. The coefficient of friction increased with an increase in moisture content from 0.67 to 0.87, 0.59 to 0.75, and 0.58 to 0.63 for wood, steel, and glass surfaces, respectively. Conclusion The results are of value for the development of equipment for operations, such as planting, harvesting, conveying, cleaning, separation, shelling, de-hulling, milling, packaging, storing, drying, and oil extraction.
Control of vascular morphogenesis and homeostasis through the angiopoietin–Tie system
Augustin, Hellmut G.,Young Koh, Gou,Thurston, Gavin,Alitalo, Kari Nature Publishing Group 2009 NATURE REVIEWS MOLECULAR CELL BIOLOGY Vol.10 No.3
Angiogenesis, the growth of blood vessels, is a fundamental biological process that controls embryonic development and is also involved in numerous life-threatening human diseases. Much work in the field of angiogenesis research has centred on the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)–VEGF receptor system. The Tie receptors and their angiopoietin (Ang) ligands have been identified as the second vascular tissue-specific receptor Tyr kinase system. Ang–Tie signalling is essential during embryonic vessel assembly and maturation, and functions as a key regulator of adult vascular homeostasis. The structural characteristics and the spatio-temporal regulation of the expression of receptors and ligands provide unique insights into the functions of this vascular signalling system.

Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is a multifactorial progression related to muscle pain, swelling, stiffness, tenderness, altered joint kinematics, muscle fiber disruption, decreased strength and power, and acute tissue damage. Curcumin, a natural phytonutrient, could manage DOMS induced by eccentric continuous exercise due to its wide range of biological activities. This study was a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical study to assess the efficacy of Cureit™—a bioavailable form of curcumin that may decrease damage from inflammation and oxidative stress associated with severe muscle damage induced by continuous eccentric exercise. The results of the study showed that oral consumption of Cureit significantly reduced DOMS, slightly reduced creatinine kinase concentrations, and slightly increased VO2 max value compared with placebo, and found safe for administration. The consumption of Cureit led to improved recovery and reduction of DOMS without any side effects due to the enhancement of bioavailable form of curcumin.
Identity, Conflict and Multiculturalism: Living Together in Cultural Freedom
Augustine Sali 서강대학교 생명문화연구소 2011 생명연구 Vol.21 No.-
A strong‐ and exclusive‐sense of belonging to one group can in many ways carry with it the perception of distance and divergence from other group. Many contemporary political and social issues revolve around conflicting claims of disparate identities involving different groups, since the conception of identity influences in many different ways, our thoughts and actions. As a result of intensifying global migrations, the world becomes increasingly a place of multi‐ethnic states, with up to 30% of the population coming from other societies, western liberal democracies started describing themselves as multicultural societies. Even counties which had traditionally been known as fiercely homogeneous, such as Korea and Japan, could no longer avoid acknowledging the ethnic and racial diversification of their populations. On the other hand culturally diverse societies are trying to emphasize a strong national identity. In this context, looking into the experience of India’s cultural nationalism, state multiculturalism of Europe, this paper tries to reflect on the concept of ‘solitarist belittling’ of human identity and its far‐reaching consequences and the need of an ‘inter and intra cultural civic engagement’, to cultivate an idea of ‘collectivity of humans’.

Claude Bernard, a brilliant French physiologist, had proclaimed that hospitals are entrance to scientific medicine and medical science is a laboratory where one can seek explanations of life in the normal and pathological states by means of experimental analysis. Hence, in medicine, the desire to combine scientific observation with a clinical perspective has a long tradition with roots going back to classical antiquity. Physician scientists are uniquely capable of asking clinically relevant questions in research settings and bringing rigorous scientific inquiry to the care of patients. We will review both tangible and intangible reasons to pursue biomedical research among physicians, and how the advancements in research have impacted the healthcare and well being of patients. We will also review the similarities and differences in the infrastructure of Korean and Amercian physician scientist training during medical school and clinical training, and the impact in the respective healthcare system.

Matteo Ricci was reputed as a great man of dialogue with other cultures and religions, but he was also, above all, a great missionary of proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The most important book he has written in Chinese is The True Meaning of the Lord of Heaven, in which he has in-depth theological dialogue with Chinese scholars with regard to some most central tenets of Catholic faith. He engaged in these dialogues which quite often involved frank criticism of Buddhism, Taoism and Neo-Confucianism, for the purpose of leading his dialogue partners to the Truth, and eventually conversion to the Catholic faith. Ricci was very friendly with the Chinese, but he above all wanted to be their friend in the Lord. Ricci’s missionary spirituality of truth can then be a very relevant lesson for Catholics’ self-realization in their own mission ad gentes today. Dialogue should not replace proclamation, respect for others and their cultures and religions should not downplay the importance of Jesus Christ as the only Savior of the world, and should not make the various doctrines of other religions equal to the doctrines of Christian religion. The recent Magisterium’s teachings, as well as Ricci’s own example, emphasize this aspect of truth which is of paramount importance for today’s evangelization.
Formulation of bionanomaterials: A review of particle design towards oil recovery applications

To minimize environmental impact and costs, bionanomaterials have been proffered. However, theirperformance hinges on material and intensification of synthesis methods. Herein, design ofbionanomaterials towards oil recovery applications are presented. Methods of synthesizing bionanomaterialswere discussed. Process intensification of synthesis methods was elucidated and basic drivingforce during synthesis were identified. Challenges prevalent during design and application ofbionanomaterials have opened new opportunities for research and are incorporated with proposedsolutions. In absence of Ostwald ripening, nucleation rate and growth processes can control size andshape of nanocrystal. Hence, designing bionanomaterials, nucleation rate should be determinedalongside supersaturation.
