title: Manufacture of Cottage Cheese Utilizing a pH-controlled, Whey-based Lactic Culture
Creators: name: Chen, Yen-Luon
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1975

description: Eleven strains of lactic cultures were used to determine their effectiveness in different bulk culture media for the manufacture of Cottage cheese. The acid phosphate-treated whey-based medium (APWM) made from Cottage cheese whey was found to be as effective as sweet phosphate-treated whey-based medium (PWM) made from Swiss cheese whey in supporting the development of lactic cultures. The relative activity of cultures in APWM with pH control was higher than phage inhibitory medium and nonfat dry milk without pH control. APWM was used successfully in the manufacture of Cottage cheese. Greater reliability and shorter cutting time resulted, and the product was comparable to those made with conventional media. More lactose was utilized when pH control was involved. More acid was also produced at a greater rate with an implied reduction in growth curve lag phase and an increase in maximum viable cells in the maximum stationary phase.
title: Evaluation of a Vapor Pressure Osmometer for Determination of Added Water in Milk
Creators: name: Pensiripun, Kietipong
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1975

description: A Wescor Vapor Pressure Osmometer measured the osmolality of a solution by sensing the vapor pressure above the solution in a closed chamber. The instrument sensing element comprised a precision thermocouple which measured the dew point temperature depression, a function of the water vapor pressure in the chamber. It used approximately 5-7 microliter samples to saturate a 0.64 cm filter paper disc. The instrument fixed a milliosmolal digital reading and signaled test completion in 110 seconds. The instrument weighed approximately 3. 62 kilograms, was 26. 7 x 24. 1 x 10. 2 cms in size and had a range of 0 to 1999 milliosmolal. The modular solid state osmometer contained no mechanical moving parts, required no refrigerated components, sample pipetting, sample tube, and no operator attention following sample insertion. Cleaning the sample chamber pocket between tests with an acetone impregnated tissue improved repeatability of the osmometer and reduced the coefficient of variability from O. 76% to 0. 70% on a raw milk sample. Two hundred individual cow milk samples from 20 herds were run in February, 1974, to establish a mean freezing point in Cache Valley herds for that period. The mean and standard deviation was 280±3.0 millisomolal. Results of milk samples containing 0 to 25% added water measured by the osmometer were compared to those obtained from an Advanced thermistor cryoscope. The coefficient of correlation was 0.991. A collaborative study was conducted involving eight hospitals and industry laboratories. When the results of two laboratories were discarded, due to instrument maintenance problems, there were no significant differences among the laboratories in their abilities to quantitate added water. Proper maintenance of the osmometer in order to keep the thermocouple clean and frequent calibration checks are recommended.
title: Pasteurized Versus Raw Milk in Brick Cheese-Making
Creators: name: Roundy, Z. Doyle
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1933

description: The prime object of the work undertaken in the present study has been done with the view of determining whether or not the quality and yield of brick cheese may be improved by pasteurizing the milk from which the cheese is made. An effort should be made to put brick cheese-making on a more scientific basis and at the same time produce cheese of better and more uniform quality. Since milk, containing large numbers of undesirable microorganisms thus causing objectionable flavors and odors in dairy products, is frequently delivered to cheese factories to be processed, pasteurization seems to be one way of attacking the problem to accomplish the desirable results. In a measure it gives the cheesemaker a better opportunity to encourage the growth of the more desirable organisms by inoculating them into he milk after it is pasteurized and cooled down, and it also gives him a better opportunity to check the growth of the undesirable ones since most of them are killed at pasteurization temperature. It is essential to have the proper types of organisms present in the processing and ripening of the cheese; since closely associated with bacterial reproduction, there is always some form of decomposition and these products of decomposition give the cheese its flavor and odor. Is is a mistake to think that milk can be produced under unsanitary conditions and that is can be purified by heating. Pasteurization cannot atone for filth. This point should be strongly emphasized. To be made into rick cheese, milk should be clean, sweet, and free from objectionable flavors and odors and should be produced under the most sanitary conditions possible.

description: We investigate the effect of a periodic potential on the electronic states and conductance of graphene. It is demonstrated that for a cosine potential $V(x)=V_0\cos(G_0x)$, new zero energy states emerge whenever $J_0(\frac {2V_0}{\hbar v_F G_0})=0$. The phase of the wavefunctions of these states is shown to be related to periodic solutions of the equation of motion of an overdamped particle in a periodic potential, subject to a periodic force. Numerical solutions of the Dirac equation confirm the existence of these states, and demonstrate the chirality of states in their vicinity. Conductance resonances are shown to accompany the emergence of these induced Dirac points.

title: Thermal Degradation of Pigments and Relative Biochemical Changes in Cherries and Apricots
Creators: name: Dalal, K. B.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1963

description: The extent and nature of biochemical changes that take place in canned fruits during storage temperatures above freezing have been reviewed and discussed by Pederson, et al. (1947). These changes include loss in nutritive value, e.g. ascorbic acid, thiamine (Brenner, et al., 1948) and deterioration of color (Tressler, et al., 1955). Bauernfeind (1953) reported that canned peaches, apricots, and sweet cherries, after a few months of storage at 70°F, frequently undergo changes such as destruction of anthocyanin and carotenoid pigments with the subsequent formation of brown colored compounds. Darkening of fruit-color eventually results in their unacceptability at consumer level. Preference for fruit is mainly based upon the attractive appearance of the products. Thus, color is an important factor governing the quality of fruits and fruit products.
In earlier studies, conducted elsewhere, emphasis was placed on effects of low storage temperatures on the quality of canned apricots and cherries. Paucity of scientific literature on the stability of processed apricots and cherries gave impetus to a study of the comparative influence of high storage temperatures and their duration, as such tests will have considerable economic bearing upon storing and shipping processed products to tropical countries.
This thesis presents the effects of storage temperatures (40, 70, 100, and 120° F) and their duration (16 weeks) on colors (anthocyanins and carotenoids), total titratable acidity, pH, viscosity, carbohydrates (total 2 and free reducing sugars, pectins), volatile reducing substances, hydroxymethyl furfural, and organoleptic quality of canned apricots and cherries.

description: We present orbital elements, orbital parallaxes and individual component masses, for fourteen spatially resolved double-line spectroscopic binaries derived doing a simultaneous fit of their visual orbit and radial velocity curve. This was done by means of a Markov Chain Monte Carlo code developed by our group, which produces posterior distribution functions and error estimates for all the parameters. Of this sample, six systems had high quality previous studies and were included as benchmarks to test our procedures, but even in these cases we could improve the previous orbits by adding recent data from our survey of southern binaries being carried out with the HRCam and ZORRO speckle cameras at the SOAR 4.1m and Gemini South 8.1m telescopes, respectively. We also give results for eight objects that did not have a published combined orbital solution, one of which did not have a visual orbit either. We could determine mass ratios with a typical uncertainty of less than 1%, mass sums with uncertainties of about 1% and individual component masses with a formal uncertainty of $0.01 M_\odot$ in the best cases. A comparison of our orbital parallaxes with available trigonometric parallaxes from Hipparcos and Gaia eDR3, shows a good correspondence; the mean value of the differences being consistent with zero within the errors of both catalogs. We also present observational HR diagrams for our sample of binaries, which in combination with isochrones from different sources allowed us to asses their evolutionary status and also the quality of their photometry.

Inequivalence and equivalence of certain kinds of non-normal operators
Creators: name: Tam, Ping Kwan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis is concerned with the problem of unitary equivalence of certain kinds of non-normal operators. Suppose [m, K, G, g ↦ U [subscript g]] is an ergodic and free C-system, with G abelian. Let m = m [symbol omitted] 1, n = R(U[subscript g] [symbol omitted] V[subscript g] : g є G), and let a = R(m, n) = R[m, K, G, g ↦ U[subscript g]] be the von Neumann algebra constructed from [m, K, G, g ↦U[subscript g]] according to von Neumann. We compute: (1) the group A(α; m, n) of all automorphisms of α which keep m pointwise fixed and keep n invariant, and (2) the group A(m, α; n) (resp. G(m, α; n)) of all automorphisms of m which extend to automorphisms (resp. inner automorphisms) of α keeping n pointwise fixed. These calculations lead us to compute G' [symbol omitted] [G] and G' (where [symbol omitted] is the full group generated by G). We show that for an abelian and ergodic G on an abelian m G' [symbol omitted] [G] = G . In the course of this investigation we obtain several interesting results. For example we see that such [symbol omitted] G is automatically free on m. For a large class of tensor algebras (and in particular for a large class of multiplication algebras) we succeed in determining G'. (For the particular cases of multiplication algebras we only use measure-theoretical arguments.) These results are applied to solve the problem of unitary equivalence of certain kinds of non-normal operators. Finally for most of the interesting thick subalgebras E in the literature, we construct numerous unitarily non-equivalent operators A ,with R(Re A) = E.
Tasmanian energy audits : analysis of aged care buildings
Creators: name: Hingston, P
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: One of the major contributors to energy consumption in commercial buildings is the health care sector. Within this sector, aged care organisations are second only to hospitals in terms of energy consumption. However, very little research has been conducted in Australia on energy performance in aged care organisations. Hence this study investigates the potential for reducing energy consumption in Tasmanian aged care buildings. Energy audits were conducted in four Tasmanian aged care buildings in Hobart. Energy use per unit floor area in Tasmanian aged care organisations was used as an energy consumption index to allow direct comparisons to be made with countries with the best practice energy standards. The 25% of aged care buildings with the lowest energy consumption levels from each of Denmark and United Kingdom were chosen as benchmarks. It was found that the average Tasmanian aged care organisation consumed around 235 kWh/m 2per year which is at least 63 kWh/m2per year more than these benchmarks. Most of the 63 kWh/m2energy reduction target can be achieved through energy saving investments with short payback periods, such as sealing vented skylights, installing hot water flow control valves, HPS for outdoor lighting, and controlled flow shower roses, together with improving their energy management and housekeeping. Medium term measures, such as additional roof insulation and installing CFL for residential room lighting, may also be required to meet all of the target.

description: The spin-flip M1 giant resonance is explored in the framework of Random Phase Approximation on the basis of the Skyrme energy functional. A representative set of eight Skyrme parameterizations (SkT6, SkM*, SLy6, SG2, SkO, SkO', SkI4, and SV-bas) is used. Light and heavy, spherical and deformed nuclei ($^{48}$Ca, $^{158}$Gd, $^{208}$Pb, and $^{238}$U) are considered. The calculations show that spin densities play a crucial role in forming the collective shift in the spectrum. The interplay of the collective shift and spin-orbit splitting determines the quality of the description. None of the considered Skyrme parameterizations is able to describe simultaneously the M1 strength distribution in closed-shell and open-shell nuclei. It is found that the problem lies in the relative positions of proton and neutron spin-orbit splitting. Necessity to involve the tensor and isovector spin-orbit interaction is called for.

title: Formation and Anatomical Distribution of Chlorophyll and Glycoalkaloids in Potato (Solanum Tuberosum L.) Tubers and Their Control by Physical and Chemical Treatments
Creators: name: Jeppsen, Robert Bruce
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1974

description: Applications of growth regulators and modifications of light exposures were investigated regarding their abilities to curtail the normal development of chlorophyll and glycoalkaloids in potato tubers responding to light. Four growth regulators were sprayed on the foliage of potato plants 14 days prior to harvest, of which two I (Ethephon and N6-Benzyladenine [N6BA]) successfully retarded chlorophyll and glycoalkaloids in the harvested tubers. When tubers were dipped in N6BA, lower concentrations of the chemical promoted glycoalkaloid formation, while larger amounts were more inhibitory. When fluorescent lights were directed through colored cellophane filters, tubers receiving yellow and orange illuminations were inhibited in chlorophyll formation and those receiving green illumination were most reduced in production of glycoalkaloids.

description: We study quadrupole collective oscillations in the bose-fermi mixtures of ultracold atomic gases of Yb isotopes, which are realized by Kyoto group. Three kinds of combinations are chosen, Yb170-Yb171, Yb170-Yb173 and Yb174-Yb173, where boson-fermion interactions are weakly repulsive, strongly attractive and strongly repulsive respectively. Collective oscillations in these mixtures are calculated in a dynamical time-evolution approach formulated with the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii and the Vlasov equations. The boson oscillations are shown to have one collective mode, and the fermions are shown to have the boson-forced and two intrinsic modes, which correspond to the inside- and outside-fermion oscillations for the boson-distributed regions. In the case of the weak boson-fermion interactions, the dynamical calculations are shown to be consistent with the results obtained in the small amplitude approximations as the random phase approximation in early stage of oscillation, but, in later stage, these two approaches are shown to give the different results. Also, in the case of the strong boson-fermion interactions, discrepancies appear in early stage of oscillation. We also analyze these differences in two approaches, and show that they originated in the change of the fermion distributions through oscillation.
title: A Five-Year Follow-Up Study: Relationship of the High Pufa Diet Used in Original Study of Middle-Aged Adults to Present Dietary Choices, Rate of Erythrocyte Hemolysis and Serum Cholesterol and Triglyceride Values
Creators: name: Egan, Jeanette Parsons
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1975

description: This study was a follow-up of the Christiansen study which was completed in 1967. Dr. Christiansen's 26 subjects ranged in age from 33 to 60 years. Ten were designated as controls and the other 16 were placed on a high polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) diet for a period of 26 weeks .
The purpose of doing a follow-up was to determine what effect the study had on present dietary patterns, serum lipid levels and rate of erythrocyte hemolysis.
Eighteen of the original subjects participated in this study. Of these 18, nine were from the control group and nine were from the experimental group. There were nine women and nine men. The serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels, rate of erythrocyte hemolysis and blood pressure reading were determined. General health status and dietary pattern were determined through the use of a questionnaire.
The results of the questionnaire indicate that the experimental diet of the original study had influenced the present diet of the study's subjects. The use of vegetable oils was increased and the consumption of eggs and whole milk was decreased. The study had little effect on the consumption of beef, pork, fish and chicken.
The rate of erythrocyte hemolysis was greater for the control group (non-instructed) than for the experimental group (instructed). The mean values were 12. 65 and 9. 49 percent, respectively. The results indicate that there was no depletion of tocopherol levels due to continued use of PUFA.
Serum triglyceride levels varied from 60 to 72 mg percent. Mean values for men were slightly higher than for the women. The means for the instructed and non-instructed groups were almost the same (6 7. 2 and 6 7. 0 mg percent, respectively).
The cholesterol values ranged from 139 to 252 mg percent. The mean values were close to those at the end of the previous study (192 and 188 mg percent, respectively). There was no correlation between cholesterol values and the rate of erythrocyte hemolysis or triglyceride values.

description: We investigate the relationship between different transients such as blinkers detected in images taken at 304~Å, extreme ultraviolet coronal bright points (ECBPs) at 193~Å, X-ray coronal bright points (XCBPs) at 94~Å on AIA, and magnetic features observed by HMI during ten years of solar cycle 24. An automatic identification method is applied to detect transients, and the YAFTA algorithm is used to extract the magnetic features. Using ten years of data, we detect in total 7,483,827 blinkers, 2,082,162 ECBPs, and 1,188,839 XCBPs, respectively, with their birthrate of about $1.1\times10^{-18}$ ${\rm m}^{-2}{\rm s}^{-1}$, $3.8\times10^{-19}$ ${\rm m}^{-2}{\rm s}^{-1}$, and $1.5\times10^{-19}$ ${\rm m}^{-2}{\rm s}^{-1}$. We find that about 80\% of blinkers are observed at the boundaries of supergranules, and 57\% (34\%) are associated with ECBPs (XCBPs). We further find that about 61{--}80\% of transients are associated with the isolated magnetic poles in the quiet Sun and that \textbf{the normalized maximum intensities of the transients are correlated with photospheric magnetic flux of poles} via a power law. These results conspicuously show that these transients have a magnetic origin and their synchronized behavior provides further clues towards the understanding of the coupling among the different layers of the solar atmosphere. Our study further reveals that the appearance of these transients is strongly anti-correlated with the sunspots cycle. This finding can be relevant for a better understanding of solar dynamo and magnetic structures at different scales during the solar cycle.

description: The Corona Factorization Property of a C*-algebra, originally defined to study extensions of C*-algebras, has turned out to say something important about intrinsic structural properties of the C*-algebra. We show in this paper that a σ-unital C*-algebra A of real rank zero has the Corona Factorization roperty if and only if its monoid V(A) of Murray-von Neumann equivalence classes of projections in matrix algebras over A has a certain (rather weak) comparability property that we call the Corona Factorization Property (for monoids). We show that a projection in such a C*-algebra is properly infinite if (and only if) a multiple of it is properly infinite. The latter result is obtained from some more general result we establish about conical refinement monoids. We show that the set of order units (together with the zero-element) in a conical refinement monoid is again a refinement monoid under the assumption that the monoid satisfies weak divisibility; and if u is an element in a refinement monoid such that nu is properly infinite, then u can be written as a sum u = s + t such that ns and nt are properly infinite.

description: We present measurements of the intrinsic alignments (IAs) of the star-forming gas of galaxies in the EAGLE simulations. Radio continuum imaging of this gas enables cosmic shear measurements complementary to optical surveys. We measure the orientation of star-forming gas with respect to the direction to, and orientation of, neighbouring galaxies. Star-forming gas exhibits a preferentially radial orientation-direction alignment that is a decreasing function of galaxy pair separation, but remains significant to $\gtrsim 1$ Mpc at $z=0$. The alignment is qualitatively similar to that exhibited by the stars, but is weaker at fixed separation. Pairs of galaxies hosted by more massive subhaloes exhibit stronger alignment at fixed separation, but the strong alignment of close pairs is dominated by ${\sim}L^\star$ galaxies and their satellites. At fixed comoving separation, the radial alignment is stronger at higher redshift. The orientation-orientation alignment is consistent with random at all separations, despite subhaloes exhibiting preferential parallel minor axis alignment. The weaker IA of star-forming gas than for stars stems from the former's tendency to be less well aligned with the dark matter structure of galaxies than the latter, and implies that the systematic uncertainty due to IA may be less severe in radio continuum weak lensing surveys than in optical counterparts. Alignment models equating the orientation of star-forming gas discs to that of stellar discs or the DM structure of host subhaloes will therefore overestimate the impact of IAs on radio continuum cosmic shear measurements.

Estimation of brake force on an open wheel racing car using artificial neural networks
Creators: name: Heron, GC
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The nature of automobile dynamics is complex. While they might not be aware of it, the driver of a vehicle is making many complex decisions producing a complex series of actions that effect the motion of the vehicle. Usually the driver can perform a sequence of actions which move the vehicle in a way in which the driver intends, however, occasionally all drivers find themselves having to correct the vehicle in a way that they did not expect. The problem here is in the control system and the high performance available in the vehicles that are driven on the roads. With the brake pedal linked directly to the force on the brake disks, the driver of the vehicle simply applies pressure that corresponds to the rate at which they intend to stop. At the limits of tyre adhesion this breaks down as more brake pressure fails the slow the vehicle quicker, and the vehicle actually takes longer to stop. To produce safer vehicles, car developers and manufacturers have developed anti-lock brakes and stability control systems. These state of the art systems monitor driver commands that inherently reflect their intention and the behaviour of the vehicle. When the vehicle behaves in a way that does not follow the driver's intent the system intervenes and selectively applies braking, limits engine power or changes other relevant parameters to assist the driver in retaining control of the vehicle. Systems such as these use mathematical models based on simplified assumptions of vehicle behaviour. Because of this they are built to be robust, commercially available systems fail to capitalise on the full performance potential of the vehicle. Since systems such as these become active in emergency situations, every small gain in performance can make up the difference between life and death. Neural networks, as emerging decision making tools offer another approach to the problem of modelling non-linear dynamic, multi variable vehicle physics. Neural networks use artificial intelligence to find relationships between inputs and outputs. These relationships are not assumed or based upon a simplified physical analysis, but are built based on the past experiences of the network. For automobile dynamic prediction a special vehicle 'Intelligent Car' was conceived, constructed and tested in real world driving conditions. Structured driving tests were carried out gathering sufficient data to train ant test the potential of neural networks for the application. The results from these tests represent some of the first outcomes from preliminary research in the 'Intelligent Car' Project. This study outlines the design and development of the University of Tasmania's Intelligent Car together with results from training various neural network models to predict its brake forces and comparison with measured values.

description: This recipe book aims to present the positive properties of pulses and to highlight their valuable contribution to an improved food system. By modifying our daily diets to increase our consumption of pulses, we can help to bring about long-term changes for more environmentally friendly agriculture. Key to this transition is the consumers and the daily decisions they make whilst cooking or eating. The book showcases examples of recipes featuring pulses and encourages cookers to be creative with them. It also demonstrates the local legume traditions that have prevailed in Europe for many centuries and the cultural roots that are connected to them. Finally, the nutritional values and ecological footprint data of each recipe underpin the benefits of legumes for both health and the environment. This book is available digitally to reach a wide audience. It will also be distributed through the Slow Food networks and Slow Food Germany will distribute printed copies at various events and workshops to further promote the benefits of legumes.

We also discuss a particular finite-dimensional approximation for the Burgers equation.

description: In this paper we address questions of the following type. Let k be a base field and K/k be a field extension. Given a geometric object X over a field K (e.g. a smooth curve of genus g) what is the least transcendence degree of a field of definition of $X$ over the base field k? In other words, how many independent parameters are needed to define X? To study these questions we introduce a notion of essential dimension for an algebraic stack. In particular, we give a complete answer to the question above when the geometric objects X are smooth or stable curves, and, in the appendix by N. Fakhruddin, for principally polarized abelian varieties. This paper overlaps with our earlier preprint arXiv:math/0701903 . That preprint has splintered into several parts, which have since acquired a life of their own. In particular, see "Essential dimension, spinor groups, and quadratic forms", by the same authors, and "Some consequences of the Karpenko-Merkurjev theorem", by Meyer and Reichstein (arXiv:0811.2517).
description: 36 pages. The main change is the addition of an appendix by Najmuddin Fakhruddin, containing a complete answer for the question of the essential dimension of the stack of principally polarized abelian varieties
Studies on lysine utilisation and dietary lysine requirement with Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) parr
Creators: name: Hauler, Rhys
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

description: For Atlantic salmon, estimates of the efficiency of lysine utilisation for growth (liveweight, protein and lysine gain) and obligatory loss (maintenance) are currently unavailable. The primary aim of this thesis was to examine efficiency of lysine utilisation in Atlantic salmon parr under various nutritional constraints. Where possible, results were discussed in a comparative perspective to identify the similarities between fish and terrestrial animals. Lysine utilisation by parr was used to evaluate a factorial approach to determine the lysine requirement (allowance), which remains relative unexplored in fish nutrition. When Atlantic salmon parr were fed lysine intakes that limited growth response (marginal lysine intakes) the efficiency of lysine utilisation for lysine gain was 0.71. A similar efficiency was confirmed for marginal lysine intakes in published lysine requirement studies for Atlantic salmon. Based on these observations, reevaluation of published dietary lysine requirements of fish identified a constant efficiency of utilisation for liveweight gain (54.1 mg liveweight gain.mg-1 lysine intake). Consequently, the lysine requirements of different fish species were shown to be similar when expressed relative to liveweight gain (18.5 g liveweight gain). Further studies with Atlantic salmon parr investigated the influence of feeding regime, daily nutrient intake and dietary protein level on the efficiency of lysine utilisation. Under satiation or controlled (% BW.d-I ) feeding, the efficiency of lysine utilisation for lysine gain was 0.67 and 0.71, respectively. Fed at daily nutrient intakes of either 3.92 g DP (digestible protein).kg-1 BW.d-I and 154.6 kJ DE (digestible energy).kg -I BW.c1-1 or 3.47 g DP.kg BW.d-1 and 175.1 kJ DE.kg - 1 BW.c1-1 , the efficiency of lysine utilisation for lysine gain was 0.77 and 0.71, respectively. Collectively, these studies demonstrated that under adequate nutrition the efficiency of lysine utilisation parr remained within a narrow range and similar to terrestrial animals. In contrast, low dietary protein (326 g DP.kg-I ) was unable to maintain the equivalent efficiency of lysine utilisation for protein gain as high dietary protein (449.6 g DP.kg-1 ). It was demonstrated that a dietary lysine concentration greater than 6.0% dietary protein achieved a sub-optimal efficiency of lysine utilisation in growing parr. The present study is one of only a few that have investigated lysine utilisation in fish. The constant efficiency of lysine utilisation under adequate nutrition allows a factorial approach to be a useful means of calculating the lysine requirement of Atlantic salmon.
title: Oxidative Carbon-Carbon Bond Cleavage Reactions of Metal Flavonolato and Chlorodiketonate Complexes

description: The research presented in this dissertation has focused on studies of metal complexes which undergo oxidative aliphatic carbon-carbon bond cleavage using dioxygen as the oxidant. The goal of this research was to assess the reactivity and elucidate mechanistic details of the carbon-carbon bond cleavage reactions. The first part of this dissertation explores the light-induced dioxygenase reactivity of ruthenium flavonolato compounds. These compounds are of particular interest as they are currently being explored for their anti-cancer activity. The RuII(n6-p-cymene) flavonolato compounds studied were found to undergo photoinduced carbon-carbon bond cleavage albeit with low quantum efficiency. The cleaved products were found to be significantly less toxic than the starting material. The reactivity and loss of toxicity offers the possibility of light-induced deactivation of such compounds to limit overall toxicity. The remainder of the research presented in this dissertation is directed at understanding mechanistic features that govern the aliphatic carbon-carbon bond cleavage reactivity of mononuclear copper(II) chlorodiketonate complexes. Synthetic organic chemists have utilized molecular oxygen and copper catalysts for many organic transformations. However, few reports have appeared demonstrating aliphatic carbon-carbon bond cleavage mediated by copper and O2 and mechanistic details of these processes are limited. The previously reported complex [(6-Ph2TPA)Cu(PhC(O)CClC(O)Ph)]ClO4 was found to undergo aliphatic carbon-carbon bond cleavage under ambient conditions in the presence of O2. Notably, a catalytic amount of chloride anion increases the rate of this reaction. In order to understand this enhanced reactivity, we have performed mechanistic experiments to probe this system. These include: (1) spectroscopic studies to probe anion binding to the copper center; (2) variable temperature kinetic studies to benchmark computational studies; and (3) evaluation of the impact of electron density within the chlorodiketonate substrate on the rate of the reaction. The nature of the anion in the [(6-Ph2TPA)Cu(PhC(O)CClC(O)Ph)]ClO4 system was found to play a significant role in terms of the energy barriers associated with O2 activation and O-O bond cleavage. The electronic nature of the chlorodiketonate was found to affect the kinetics for the C-C bond cleavage reaction suggesting a change in mechanism for O2 activation depending on the substituent present.

description: The paper introduces scaled Bregman distances of probability distributions which admit non-uniform contributions of observed events. They are introduced in a general form covering not only the distances of discrete and continuous stochastic observations, but also the distances of random processes and signals. It is shown that the scaled Bregman distances extend not only the classical ones studied in the previous literature, but also the information divergence and the related wider class of convex divergences of probability measures. An information processing theorem is established too, but only in the sense of invariance w.r.t. statistically sufficient transformations and not in the sense of universal monotonicity. Pathological situations where coding can increase the classical Bregman distance are illustrated by a concrete example. In addition to the classical areas of application of the Bregman distances and convex divergences such as recognition, classification, learning and evaluation of proximity of various features and signals, the paper mentions a new application in 3D-exploratory data analysis. Explicit expressions for the scaled Bregman distances are obtained in general exponential families, with concrete applications in the binomial, Poisson and Rayleigh families, and in the families of exponential processes such as the Poisson and diffusion processes including the classical examples of the Wiener process and geometric Brownian motion.

title: Evaluation, Assay, Distribution, and Survey of Staphylococcus aureus Thermonuclease in Milk and Cheese Products
Creators: name: Hong, Gene Leong
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1975

description: The metachromatic agar-diffusion test of Lachica, Hoeprich, and Genigeorgis (1971) was modified by adding 17 ml of the agar medium to a 100 by 15 mm plastic petri dish, using 5 µl samples and 3 mm wells. The test detected 0.5 ng/ml of thermonuclease in 3 hr at 37 C. This was equivalent to 106 to 10 7 cells/ml of Staphylococcus aureus strains 196 E, 14458, and 19095 grown in Brain Heart Infusion (BHI) broth. The test sensitivity was decreased ten fold in raw and pasteurized milk.
One-half gram of cheese was dissolved in 4.5 ml of 0.1 M sodium citrate for quantitative studies. When staphylococcal (>8 x 10 /ml) contaminated raw milk was pasteurized and made into cheese, more thermonuclease activity/ml was noted in the curd than whey. During prolonged storage at 4 C, thermonuclease activity decreased in raw and pasteurized milk and laboratory made cheese.
Bacillus subtilus, Streptococcus faecalis var liquefaciens, Streptococcus thermophilus, and Streptococcus cremoris strain ML8 reduced thermonuclease activity during growth incubation in BHI broth. Thermonuclease was detected directly in staphylococcal contaminated 7 laboratory aged cheese (>10 /gm) without prior purification, concentration, or extraction procedures.
A community and user-based site development plan for Myrtle Forest picnic area, Tasmania : theory and practice

description: Myrtle Forest Picnic Area lies within the Recreation Zone of Wellington Park, Tasmania. The need for a Site Development Plan to provide recreational facilities for visitors at locations within the Zone had been discussed in a Park management plan in 1997, and local people and Park managers had also met since to propose certain possibilities for Myrtle Forest. This thesis presents both the results of my role as a participant researcher in the consultant study team that undertook production of the plan, and my position as an observer researcher who set out to evaluate the stakeholder consultation components of the planning process. Myrtle Forest Picnic Area became my case study. In my first role, my tasks were to collect Myrtle Forest biophysical and cultural baseline data, conduct a community survey using questionnaires, and interview key management agency representatives. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches were employed. My survey revealed that the site has a relatively high level of use from the local community, especially the immediate neighbours, but people from elsewhere also visit. Site users rated the quality of existing visitor facilities as \fair\" but said that improvements and additions were needed. In particular they wanted to see toilets barbecue facilities and site information. The worst problem identified at the site was vandalism. Key informants from the relevant agencies indicated that the planning exercise was most important for future development of the area and also saw vandalism as the issue of most concern. In my second role I acted as observer researcher in all the stakeholder consultation stages during data collection for the Site Development Plan including my own survey and interviews. From the literature I developed a set of criteria for evaluating participatory planning of this kind. The analysis revealed that the consultation program met some of the criteria but not all. Considering its time and financial constraints the consultation program was a fairly good and reasonable process however. Nevertheless with reference to the literature the participatory program can be seen as being relatively tokenistic. Within its limitations and attempting to be realistic I made suggestions for improvement for other natural area site planning projects at this scale. These included ensuring transparency by making the work program itself and the decision-making process subject to public inputs; keeping stakeholders informed of important facts and situations especially if changes occur and if stakeholders are likely to be affected; and setting up a planning project steering/decision-making committee with at least half its members drawn from participating communities."
title: Applicability of an Electronic Semiautomatic Somatic Cell Counter to Dairy Herd Improvement Milk Sample Testing
Creators: name: Wang, Nianwei

Year: 1975

description: The Technicon OSCC II was evaluated for application in dairy herd improvement central laboratories. Dilution using a Fisher Autodiluter made sample preparation for assay less time consuming and more convenient and resulted in the same accuracy as with the manual syringe technique.
Sample storage and the presence of a potassium dichromate preservative tablet had little effect on somatic cell count when tested within two days at room temperatures (20-23 C) or within four days at refrigeration temperatures (4-7 C). The preservative tablet caused an average increase of 14,000 cells/ml. The average cell count dropped 26 percent following two days at 20-23 C.
Potassium dichromate interfered with the protein determination of milk using the Udy dye-binding method.
There were poor correlations between somatic cells and various milk components from 1292 random milk samples from three herds during a six month survey.
The best correlation found between somatic cells and casein/protein (%) was -0.32 in the G. W. Salisbury herd and -0.58 in the Utah State University herd in January, 1974.
Cost of running a somatic cell count was estimated to be 6.6 cents if 10,000 samples were assayed monthly.
