Color variability for a wine sample poured into a standard glass wine sampler
Authors: Huertas R. , Yebra A. , Pérez M.M. , Melgosa M. , Negueruela A.I. 
Published: October 2003

AbstractSpectroradiometric color measurements were performed at 26 regularly spaced points of a standard wine sampler into which 100 cc of wine were poured. Our goal is to describe the color changes occurring in this system, but not to propose a new method for wine‐color measurement. Three samples of three different wines (red, rosé and white) were studied. From experimental measurements, lines of constant lightness (L), chroma (C,10) and hue‐angle (hab,10) were plotted for each wine poured into the wine sampler, as well as lines of constant CIELAB color differences (ΔE,10), with respect to a reference point placed at the axis of the wine sampler and at the zone with the greatest diameter. Considering different points of the wine sampler, the color attribute undergoing the greatest change was lightness (ΔL about 16.0, 15.0 and 11.0 for the red, rosé and white wines, respectively), followed by chroma (ΔC,10 about 2.8, 3.8 and 2.6 for the red, rosé and white wines, respectively) and hue(ΔH,10 lower than 1.0 for all the wines). Lightness variations were related mainly to the thickness differences between various zones of the wine sampler. Large color differences were found among the different points of the wine poured into the wine sampler (about 20.0, 21.0 and 14.0 CIELAB units, for the red, rosé and white wines, respectively). Panels should be aware of these large color variations when wine is visually assessed using standard wine samplers. It should be concluded that a single color specification for a wine poured into a wine sampler gives incomplete information, but hue, which is the main color attribute considered by observers, is nearly constant in the wine sampler. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Natural resource damage claims: Potential DOD liabilities and mitigation opportunities
Authors: Sheehy Daniel J. , Vik Susan F. 
Published: October 2003

AbstractThe Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA), the Oil Pollution Act (OPA), and the Clean Water Act (CWA) designate federal, state, Indian tribe, or
international natural resource trustees to: (1) assess damages for injuries to natural resources; (2) recover costs of
damages and assessments from responsible parties; and (3) restore, replace, or acquire the equivalent of damaged resources and
compensate for lost services. Damages recovered from such claims can be substantial and may exceed cleanup costs. Natural resource trustees are
pursuing Natural Resource Damage (NRD) claims where DOD agencies are either responsible parties or co‐trustees. A recent case at the
Massachusetts Military Reservation demonstrates that state National Guard and DOD components are vulnerable to NRD claims. International NRD claims
for extraterritorial natural resource damages are also possible. DOD natural resource and environmental professionals should be aware of NRD claim
liabilities and proactive measures that can reduce the incidence or consequence of potential claims. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: October 2003

AbstractA properly drafted and executed contract identifies and minimizes unexpected risk to produce successful projects. This paper identifies commonly
troublesome issues, including some that may prove fatal in contracting, to provide decision makers with case examples illustrating solutions and tools
for avoiding, confronting, and overcoming these issues. The authors, an environmental scientist and a legal advisor, address the interrelated issues of
environmental protection, readiness, government policy, regulation, and contract law. Collectively, they have served as owner, contractor, and
subcontractor for Department of Defense, Department of Energy, consulting engineering companies, and legal firms. They have drawn from these experiences
in drafting this paper based on successes and failures of a variety of projects. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
An intranet‐based Environmental Management System to support business operations and mission readiness for the Port Hueneme Division–Naval Surface Warfare Center
Authors: Vigon Bruce W. , Brunetti Tiffany A. , Evers David P. 
Published: October 2003

AbstractThe Department of Defense and the Navy have adopted policies to implement Environmental Management Systems (EMS) in accordance with
Executive Order 13148 by December 31, 2005. The Navy has published a draft guidance document identifying the content of a compliant EMS structured
around five major components and 16 elements within those components. However, the full benefit of an EMS in motivating behaviors that go beyond
compliance and directly show environmental contributions to mission accomplishment and readiness will not be achievable with a conventional EMS
solely oriented toward management of the four environmental program pillars. We recommend that the EMS interconnect both the compliance and voluntary
activities of environmental management with the business cycle (the set of iterative activities an organization uses to develop, deliver, and
support its products and services) and the measures of success that characterize both types of processes within the enterprise. © 2003

Deconstruction and reuse: Return to true resource conservation and sustainability
Authors: Webster Ron , Napier Tom 
Published: October 2003

AbstractThe deconstruction and salvage of excess buildings is a growing segment of American business. This approach, superior to traditional demolition and
landfill, is the epitome of both the objectives of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and, more importantly, the
sustainability principles that all Americans once knew. The wood resources that exist in the Army's excess wooden property inventory constitute
the largest existing stand of old growth forests. The exploitation of these assets, and their subsequent reuse, will require a change in the current
Army business paradigm. Such change will lead to a more sustainable Army based upon sound business and sustainability principles. © 2003 Wiley

Approaches to locating expertise using corporate knowledge
Authors: Crowder Richard , Hughes Gareth , Hall Wendy 
Published: October 2003

AbstractIn many organizations people need to locate colleagues with knowledge and information to resolve a problem. Computer‐based systems that assist users with ﬁnding such expertise are increasingly important to industrial organizations. In this paper we discuss the development of Expertise Finders suitable for use within the engineering design environment, as illustrated through the use of a scenario. A key feature of this work is that the Expertise Finder returns both recommended contacts and supporting documentation. The Expertise Finder bases its results on information held within the organization, e.g. on‐line publications repositories, human resource records, and not on individually compiled Curriculum Vitaes or other forms of user‐maintained records. The recommendations are presented to the user with due regard to the social context, and are supported by the documents used to make the recommendation. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Instruments to visualize design engineering information and activities in automotive supplier companies
Authors: Vroom Regine W. , Horváth Imre , van der Vegte Wilfred F. 
Published: October 2003

AbstractBefore implementing a product data management system within a company, the internal processes of product and process development and the information handled herein should be organized well. To enable this organization, one should be able to see the bottlenecks. Therefore, the working methods and the documents involved should be made transparent. That is why the development processes of three automotive suppliers have been analyzed and documented in three representations, formatted according to a generic scheme, to gain transparency of the processes. Based on these representations, a so‐called induced model of product and process development is created. In this paper, which is an extension of Vroom RW et al. (2002. In PAKM 2002, LNAI 2596, Karagiannis D, Reimer U (eds). Springer: Berlin; 347–358), the format of the representations will be explained brieﬂy, the application method for the realization of the representations will be described and some of the results will be illustrated. Also, the problems that came up during the research will be described. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Process‐oriented knowledge management systems based on KM‐services: the PROMOTE® approach
Authors: Woitsch Robert , Karagiannis Dimitris 
Published: October 2003

AbstractThis article describes the PROMOTE® approach, to deﬁne and implement a Service‐Based Enterprise Knowledge Management System (E‐KMS) that has been developed during the EC‐funded project PROMOTE (IST‐1999‐11658). The aim is to deﬁne a modelling language that is used to analyse, document and implement an E‐KMS on the basis of so‐called Knowledge Management Processes (KMPs). KMPs deﬁne the knowledge interaction between knowledge workers in a process‐oriented manner and consists of activities that are supported by knowledge management key actions (KA) like searching, categorising or storing information. These knowledge management key actions are supported by Knowledge Management Services (KM‐Service). The prototype of PROMOTE® is brieﬂy mentioned to discuss the KMP‐models and the service based E‐KMS. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
The General Motors' variation‐reduction adviser: an example of grassroots knowledge management development
Authors: Morgan Alexander P. , Cafeo John A. , Gibbons Diane I. , Lesperance Ronald M. , Sengir Gulcin H. , Simon Andrea M. 
Published: October 2003

AbstractOne approach to developing knowledge management systems is to seed the system in key communities of practice and then encourage its customization and spread throughout the enterprise by local (‘grassroots’) initiative. This has the beneﬁt of worker buy‐in and adaptation of the local systems to their workﬂows. The concept is that, in exchange for some loss of control and standardization, the grassroots systems will be used and appreciated and will grow into an enterprise‐wide system. In this paper, we discuss this approach and how it is emerging in General Motors' Variation‐Reduction Adviser, a manufacturing knowledgesharing and lessons‐learned system.

Published: October 2003

AbstractIt is important to respond to customers' requirements more rapidly than ever before due to the recent trend in e‐business and its technologies. In order to achieve an agile response, we have to manage business models, to reﬂect the changes in the models and to develop or modify IT systems for further chances. This paper proposes a management framework of layered enterprise models. The proposed framework consists of a business model repository and a software repository, and deﬁnes three different grain sizes of modeling layers, namely business modeling, business process modeling and business application modeling, in order to support business modeling and application development. This framework helps us to develop business application in incremental deployment of analysis, design, and implementation to execute business processes. We have implemented a prototype environment using Java. Each repository's contents are described using XML so that the repositories are interoperable. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Published: October 2003

AbstractAccelerated acute humoral rejection (AHR) continues to occur in renal transplantation despite improved crossmatching, with potentially devastating consequences. Between 1 June 1998 and 31 December 2000, 440 renal transplants were performed in our center. AHR was diagnosed by the demonstration of typical pathological features on renal histology and positive direct immunofluorescence or detection of anti‐HLA antibodies in serum. AHR developed in 20 (4.5%) of our renal transplant recipients, nine male and eleven female at an average of 16.3 days post transplantation. All of these patients had a negative current cytotoxic crossmatch prior to transplantation. The median serum creatinine at diagnosis was 5.96 mg/dL, and 83% of these individuals developed oliguric renal failure requiring dialysis after having initially attained good graft function (median of best serum creatinine before AHR was 2.64 mg/dL). The 18 recipients who had not infarcted their grafts at the time of diagnosis of AHR received plasmapheresis in conjunction with intensification of their immunosuppressive regimen. This regimen was successful in reversing AHR in 78% of those treated with apheresis. In the 14 responders, graft survival at 6 months was 100% and at 12 months was 91%. Median serum creatinine at 6 and 12 months was 1.26 and 1.33 mg/dL, respectively. Patients received an average of 8.1 plasma exchanges. However, responders received a significantly higher frequency of plasmapheresis (P = .0053), despite undergoing a similar number of exchanges overall. Plasmapheresis appears to be an effective modality for reversing AHR and maintaining graft function. J. Clin. Apheresis 18:103–110, 2003. © 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Authors: Chiu Hou‐Chang , Yeh Jiann‐Horng , Chen Wei‐Hung 
Published: October 2003

AbstractThe aim of this study was to investigate the changes in pulmonary function tests for patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) after treatment with double filtration plasmapheresis (DFP) and to evaluate whether pulmonary function tests predict the efficacy of DFP treatment. Thirty‐five MG patients (20 females and 15 males, age range 21–69 years) underwent DFP for between four and eight consecutive sessions. Vital capacity (VC), maximal inspiratory pressure (Pimax), and MG score were measured before and after DFP. Based on the results of pulmonary function tests, the patients were divided into dyspnea (VC < 1.0 L or Pimax < −25 cm H2O) and control groups (VC > 1.0 L and Pimax > −25 cm H2O). The dyspnea group had a significantly better response to DFP treatment, reflected in the decrease of the MG‐score (P=0.0327), and the increase in VC value (P=0.0561). Higher clearance rates of acetylcholine receptor antibody (AchRAb) had a trend toward higher changes of VC. In conclusion, VC might better serve as a predictor for the effect of DFP in the dyspnea patient group because of better correlation with clinical improvement and AchRAb clearance. J. Clin.

AbstractIn the past, variable results were reported for single daily and two divided daily doses of granulocyte colony‐stimulating factor (G‐CSF) in stem cell collection where no study exists investigating the effect of body mass index (BMI) on mobilization. The numbers of CD34+ cells collected were compared in 86 patients with solid or hematological malignancies receiving either single daily (14 μg/kg/day) G‐CSF (filgrastim) as group I (n=36) or two divided doses of G‐CSF daily (2 × 7 μg/kg/day) as group II (n = 50). Both groups were divided into subgroups according to their BMI as group a (BMI ≤25 kg/m2) and group b (BMI >25 kg/m2). Two groups were similar in terms of BMI, gender, and disease characteristics. All patients have received G‐CSF as a single or two divided doses subcutaneously and aphereses have been done on the 5th day. No significant difference in numbers of CD34+ cells between groups Ia and Ib, groups IIa and IIb, and groups Ia and IIa was found. On the other hand, the mean ratio and the number of CD34+ cells in group Ib were significantly higher than those of group IIb (0.58 ± 0.06% vs. 0.37 ± 0.26%, P = 0.01 and 3.67 ± 0.65 × 104/kg/ml vs. 1.92 ± 0.37 × 104/kg/ml, P= 0.02). In conclusion, in patients with BMI >25 kg/m2, once daily G‐CSF compared to split dose administration induces a greater number of CD34+ stem cell mobilization, which suggests the presence of a different pharmacokinetics in obese patients.

Authors: Jiskra Jan , Claessens Henk A. , Cramers Carel A. 
Published: October 2003

AbstractThis review describes the state of the art of capillary electrochromatography (CEC). Properties of and interactions between stationary and mobile phases applied in CEC are described and discussed; developments in stationary phases, partly also monolithic stationary phases, are reviewed. Special attention is paid to the comparison of the behaviour of stationary and/or mobile phases under CEC versus HPLC conditions with respect to variables such as particle and pore size of the stationary phase, mobile phase composition, and temperature. These issues are discussed throughout the paper. A number of applications in CEC is presented as well.
Determination of conjugated dienes in petroleum products by supercritical fluid chromatography and ultraviolet detection
Authors: Albuquerque Flávio Cortiñas 
Published: October 2003

AbstractA method for determining total conjugated dienes in petroleum products, such as catalytic or thermal cracking fractions, using supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) is presented. The separation is carried out in one or two silica columns and with CO2 as mobile phase. The conditions of analysis are the same as used in group‐type analysis of diesel fuels by SFC (ASTM D 5186 standard method), except that UV detection at 240 nm is used. Hydrocarbons with two conjugated double bonds are the only substances eluting in the retention time range of the non‐aromatics that appreciably absorb UV radiation at this wavelength. This was confirmed by analyzing standards of olefins, isolated diolefins, and conjugated diolefins. Results are reported in mol L–1 of 1,3‐pentadiene. Several samples of different natures, such as fluid catalytic cracking liquid products and hydrotreated cracking naphthas, were successfully analyzed. The results correlate quite well with the respective diene values as determined by UOP method 326, although the slope and intercept were specific for each type of product.
Chemometrics in capillary electrophoresis. Part B: Methods for data analysis

Published: October 2003

AbstractMethods for data analysis in CE are addressed to extract relevant information contained in the electrophoretic responses. The main objectives of chemometrics in this field are the characterization of complex samples, the study of peak purity and deconvolution of comigrations, and the quantification of the analytes in poorly resolved peaks. In this paper, the application of chemometric techniques to data analysis is reviewed. The chemometric methods for the optimization of CE separations have been reviewed in Part A (see Sentellas and J. Saurina, Chemometrics in capillary electrophoresis.

Published: October 2003

AbstractSedimentation field flow fractionation operated in the steric hyperlayer mode was used to obtain fractions of defined characteristics from crude samples of poly(D,L‐lactic‐co‐glycolic acid) microspheres which were polydisperse in size. In less than ten minutes, Sedimentation Field Flow Fractionation (SdFFF) separation yielded three analytical fractions of very different size and particle size distribution (PSD) characteristics, as determined by granulometric analyses (Coulter Counter® and image analysis of SEM). A crude sample (average size = 45 μm, 105% size polydispersity index) was separated into fractions of 73 μm, 56 μm, 8 μm average diameters which showed a PSD of 39%, 33%, 30%, respectively. Our results demonstrated that SdFFF used in conjunction with particle size analysis offers a new approach to laboratory scale production of drug vectors of a specified average size and reduced size dispersity. In the future, this could be used to select the most convenient particles for drug loading and release.
Influence of the organic modifier and the ion‐pairing agent in the mobile phase on the separation of soya bean proteins by perfusion liquid chromatography. Analysis of commercial dairylike soya bean products using multivariate techniques

Published: October 2003

AbstractThe influence of the nature and concentration of the organic modifier and the ion‐pairing agent in the mobile phase on the separation of soya bean proteins by perfusion reversed‐phase high‐performance liquid chromatography was investigated. Acetonitrile, methanol, and isopropanol were used as organic modifiers, and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), heptafluorobutyric acid (HFBA), morpholine (MP), and mixtures thereof as ion‐pairing agents. Different linear binary gradients were tried and the best separations of soya bean proteins (in terms of number of peaks, total peak area, and resolution) were obtained when using isopropanol and acetonitrile as organic modifiers and mixtures of TFA and MP as ion‐pairing agents. Two elution gradients were chosen in order to achieve the characterisation of dairylike soya bean products on the basis of their chromatographic profiles by multivariate techniques: an isopropanol‐water gradient, 0.1% (v/v) TFA‐0.2% (v/v) MP in both phases, 3–20% B in 3.5 min and 20–45% B in 1.5 min (flow rate, 3 mL/min), and an acetonitrile‐water gradient, 0.1% (v/v) TFA‐0.1% (v/v) MP in both phases, 5–25% B in 1.75 min and 25–45% B in 1.75 min (flow rate, 4 mL/min). Finally, the isopropanol‐water gradient was also applied to the analysis of soya bean proteins in commercial dairylike soya bean products by using multivariate techniques.
