Separation and antioxidant activities of new acetylated EGCG compounds
Abstract Acetylation could improve the bioavailability of (-)-Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate (EGCG), but the relationship of substitution degree and antioxidant capacity of acetylated EGCG was unclear. The acetylated EGCG products were separated by preparation high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Two mono substituted acetylated EGCG, three substituted acetylated EGCG (T-AcE), eight substituted acetylated EGCG (E-AcE) and (-)-Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)…

A novel RF-CEEMD-LSTM model for predicting water pollution
Abstract Accurate water pollution prediction is an important basis for water environment prevention and control. The uncertainty of input variables and the nonstationary and nonlinear characteristics of water pollution series hinder the accuracy and reliability of water pollution prediction. This study proposed a novel water pollution prediction model (RF-CEEMD-LSTM) to improve the performance of water…

A multivariate decomposition analysis of modern contraceptive utilization among married women in the emerging region of Ethiopia (2000–2019)
Abstract Ensuring universal access to family planning services is a proven strategy to improve reproductive health as well as economic development. Assessing the trend and identifying the factors for the change in modern contraceptive utilization is crucial to design effective measures, but trend analysis was not conducted previously. Thus, this study aimed to assess the…
