The Effects of Jet-Milling and Pulsed Electric Fields on the Preservation of Spinach Juice Lutein Contents during Storage.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of jet-milling on the lutein extraction contents of spinach powder (SP), as well as the effects of pulsed electric field (PEF), as a non-thermal pasteurization technology, on the preservation of spinach juice (SJ) lutein contents. SP particles were divided into SP-coarse (Dv50 = 315.2 μm), SP-fine (Dv50 = 125.

Effects of Pulsed Electric Field Pretreatment on Black Tea Processing and Its Impact on Cold-Brewed Tea.

This study applied pulsed electric fields (PEFs) to accelerate the withering and drying processes during cold-brewed black tea production. PEF pretreatment was administered at 1.0, 1.

Prosody processing of korean language in stroke patients: a preliminary study.

Objective: To investigate the hemispheric contributions to prosody recognitions and interference effects of semantic processing on prosody for stroke patients by using the Korean language.

Methods: Ten right hemisphere damaged patients (RHD), nine left hemisphere damaged patients (LHD), and eleven healthy controls (HC) participated. In pure prosody recognition task, four semantically neutral sentences were selected and presented in both sad and happy prosodies.

The moderation of resilience on the negative effect of pain on depression and post-traumatic growth in individuals with spinal cord injury.

Purpose: To determine the moderating effect of resilience on the negative effects of chronic pain on depression and post-traumatic growth.

Method: Community-dwelling individuals with SCI (n = 37) were recruited at short-term admission for yearly regular health examination. Participants completed self-rating standardized questionnaires measuring pain, resilience, depression and post-traumatic growth.

Resilience as a possible predictor for psychological distress in chronic spinal cord injured patients living in the community.

Objective: To investigate whether higher resilience level predicts low levels of psychological distress in chronic SCI patients living in the community.

Method: Thirty seven patients (mean age 41.5±10.
