Robot-assisted minimally invasive oesophagectomy (RAMIE) has been developed to overcome the technical limitations of conventional thoracoscopic oesophagectomy.Hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS) is used as a practical and useful technique during the abdominal phase of thoracoscopic oesophagectomy.During RAMIE, a robotic vessel sealer cannot b
Stranded driftwood feedstocks may represent, after pretreatment with steam explosion and enzymatic hydrolysis, a cheap C-source for producing biochemicals and biofuels using oleaginous yeasts.The hydrolysis was optimized using a response surface methodology (RSM).The solid loading (SL) and the dosage of enzyme cocktail (ED) were variated following
Abstract This study investigated the effect of pairing Cushions of wine vinified from shade-grown grapes before onset of ripening on the palatability of sashimi, a typical Japanese cuisine.GC-MS analyses of volatile chemicals revealed that shading reduced phenolic compounds and terpenoids, and added fatty acid ethyl esters which are also known to c
