34. Dietary supplements

biological active substances used to improve the function and regulation of microbiocenosis of the gastrointestinal tract, prevention and treatment: dietary supplements, functional nutrition, probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, bacteriophages, biotherapeutic agents.

Dietary Supplements - natural nutrients: vitamins, minerals, proteins, enzymes, plant products.

Requirements for dietary supplements that must contain one or more nutritional components: vitamins, minerals, herbs or other plants, amino acids.

Not intended to be used as the main ordinary food or the sole source of nutrition. They are used only as an addition to the main diet in order to increase the daily intake of certain nutritional components. Functional nutrition should be understood as ready-to-sell food products in which biological products have been added.

Functional food is defined as a modified food that provides better health benefits than the original food. Functional foods include antioxidants, carotenoids, digestive enzymes, yogurts and dairy products with added pro and prebiotics. Acidobeef is a food supplement for children over 1 year of age with lactase deficiency, milk protein intolerance and intestinal dysbiosis, containing lacto and bifidobacteria. Eugalan forte is a food supplement for adults and children over 3 years old, containing bifidobacteria and lactulose.

Probiotics are preparations based on microorganisms (lyophilized powders containing bifidobacteria and lactobacilli). Probiotics are drugs and food products that contain substances of microbial and non-microbial origin.

With a natural route of administration, they have a beneficial effect on the physiological functions and biochemical reactions of the body through the optimization of its microecological status. Probiotics (eubiotics) are live, weakened strains of microorganisms: more often bifidolactobacteria, less often yeast, which, based on the term "probiotic", refer to normal inhabitants of the intestines of a healthy person. Modern requirements for probiotics: natural origin, resistance to the action of gastric acid and bile, the ability to colonize the intestines, antagonism to pathogenic bacteria. Indications for the use of probiotics: diarrhea associated with taking antibiotics, infectious diarrhea, prevention of diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, gastrointestinal syndrome with allergies, inflammatory diseases.

Probiotics - preparations, mono and polycomponent preparations: bifidumbacterin, lactobacterin, bifikol, colibacterin, primadofilus, floradofilus, bifinorm, subamin.

Prebiotics are non-digestible food ingredients that selectively stimulate the growth and metabolic activity of one or more groups of bacteria (lactobacilli, bifidobacteria) in the colon. Substance prebiotics: fructozooligosaccharides, galactooligosaccharides (in dairy products, corn flakes, cereals, bread, onions, field chicory, garlic, bananas, and many others).

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Mini air conditioner Sony Reon Pocket 5 09.05.2024

Summer is a time for relaxation and travel, but often the heat can turn this time into an unbearable torment. Meet a new product from Sony - the Reon Pocket 5 mini-air conditioner, which promises to make summer more comfortable for its users. Sony has introduced a unique device - the Reon Pocket 5 mini-conditioner, which provides body cooling on hot days. With it, users can enjoy coolness anytime, anywhere by simply wearing it around their neck. This mini air conditioner is equipped with automatic adjustment of operating modes, as well as temperature and humidity sensors. Thanks to innovative technologies, Reon Pocket 5 adjusts its operation depending on the user's activity and environmental conditions. Users can easily adjust the temperature using a dedicated mobile app connected via Bluetooth.

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

TCA9554 Digital Port Expander for I2C Bus 18.03.2015

The TCA9554PWR Digital Port Expander (I/O Expander) from Texas Instruments allows you to add 8 bidirectional GPIO lines to any product that has an I2C or SMBus interface.

The TCA9554PWR is compatible with any type of 1,5V to 5,5V microcontroller and provides a simple solution for applications that require additional lines to connect pushbuttons, switches, LEDs and relays. The output current of one port can reach 25mA. When power is applied, all ports are set to their default state without any bounce. In standby mode, the TCA9554PWR draws between 200 nA and 1,6 µA depending on the supply voltage.

A feature of the TCA9554PWR is the ability to generate an interrupt when the status of a port configured for input changes. The presence of three hardware address lines (A0, A1 and A2) allows you to combine up to 8 expander chips on the same I2C bus. TCA9554PWR can work on I2C both in standard mode (100 kHz) and in "fast" mode (400 kHz).

The pinout of the TCA9554PWR is the same as the popular PCF8574.

If you need to increase the number of I / O lines up to 16 ports, you can use the TCA9555 and TCA9535 chips. The TCA16 version of the 9535-port expander has a reduced standby current in Stand-By mode (no more than 3 μA).
