Importance of lactobacilli for bread-making industr y (2011)

Lactic acid bacteria are widely used in the product ion of fermented foods when they are used as the starter cultures. The starter cultures are d efined as a preparation consisting of active or inactive microorganisms which possess desirable metabolic activity. The design of starters used in bakery industry requires prior knowledge of the biochemical characteristics and baking potential of present microflora. Performance of starters during fermentation process is usually studied by characterization of the acidific ation properties, such as pH value decrease, total titratable acidity increase and organic acids production. This review describes characteristics of bacteria belonging to the genera Lactobacillus , their metabolism and useful properties as sourdough microorganisms.
Spectroscopic characterization and preparation of low molecular, water‐soluble chitosan with free‐amine group by novel method (2002)

Abstract Low molecular, water‐soluble chitosan (LMWSC) with a free amine group was prepared by the novel salts‐removal method described in this study. A weight‐average molecular weight and degree of deacetylation (DDA) of LMWSC were determined by viscometry and Kina titration, resulting in 18,579 Da and 93% DDA, respectively. In the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic, 1 H NMR, and 13 C NMR spectra the absorption band by the carboxyl group derived from lactic acid and the impurities formed in the enzymatic process disappeared or were significantly lower than that of the control chitosan. Also, from the 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR spectra the empirical value for the area ratio of the proton and carbon corresponds nearly to its theoretical values. The matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time‐of‐flight mass spectrum identified the difference in the two adjacent peaks as 161. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Pharmacokinetics of Ketorolac Pentyl Ester, a Novel Ester Derivative of Ketorolac, in Rabbits (2005)

Ketorolac is a potent nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Recently, a novel ester of ketorolac, ketorolac pentyl ester, was synthesized. When prepared in injectable oil, the new agent demonstrated a long duration of action. Ketorolac pentyl ester was synthesized using a prodrug design by esterification of ketorolac, and appeared to be a prodrug of ketorolac in vivo, which needed to be confirmed. The aim of the present study was to establish the prodrug's pharmacokinetics in vivo, and to confirm whether or not ketorolac pentyl ester was a prodrug of ketorolac. Pharmacokinetic profiles of intravenous ketorolac and its pentyl ester on an equal-molar basis in six rabbits were evaluated. A high-performance liquid chromatographic method was used to determine the plasma concentrations of ketorolac and its pentyl ester. We found that the plasma concentrations of ketorolac pentyl ester declined rapidly after injection and so did the conversion of ketorolac pentyl ester to ketorolac. Also, the conversion of ketorolac was proved complete when compared with intravenous ketorolac under an equi-molar basis. In conclusion, this in vivo pharmacokinetic study confirmed that keterolac pentyl ester was a prodrug of keterolac.
Negotiating the Heart; Heritage, Development and Identity in Postimperial London (1994)

The empirical focus of this paper is a long-running planning controversy associated with attempts to redevelop a site on Bank Junction in the centre of the City of London. These plans faced fierce opposition from those who sought to have the local character of the area, its ‘heritage’, preserved and enhanced. The controversy culminated in the 1980s, a period during which the City and its surrounds were under massive redevelopment pressure in response to various restructurings. The paper provides a contextualised reading of the discursive and representational terrain generated by this controversy. Ostensibly, this was a battle of the old against the new and presents an example of the workings of heritage within contemporary urban settings. But it also marks out the complex intersections between heritage, capital, and identity. This redevelopment struggle became an arena for the expression of the role and status of the City during a time when it was negotiating transformations in its built form and its social fabric as a result of challenging adjustments in its international standing.
Current error compensation for current-sensorless power factor corrector stage in continuous conduction mode (2012)

A universal digital PFC current-sensorless controller based on control of estimated current is presented. Parasitic elements cause a small difference between the measured input voltage and the voltage across the inductance in a boost converter, which must be taken into account to estimate the input current in a sensorless PFC digital controller. To compensate for the deviation caused by the parasitic elements, and so minimize the current estimation error, the article proposes a digital feedback control technique that cancels the time difference between DCM operation time of the real input current (T <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">in</sup> <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">DCM</sub> ) and the estimated current (T <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">reb</sup> <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">DCM</sub> ). Experimental results, obtained using a boost PFC converter under different conditions, are shown for verification purposes.
MOLECULAR DYNAMICS SIMULATIONS OF GRANULAR MATERIALS (1993)

When sand or other granular materials are shaken, poured or sheared many intriguing phenomena can be observed. We will model the granular medium by a packing of elastic spheres and simulate it via Molecular Dynamics. Dissipation of energy and shear friction at collisions are included. The onset of fluidization can be determined and is in good agreement with experiments. On a vibrating plate we observe the formation of convection cells due to walls or amplitude modulations. Density and velocity profiles on conveyor belts are measured and the influence of an obstacle discussed. We mention various types of rheology for flow down an inclined chute or through a pipe and outflowing containers.

Different computational fluid dynamics techniques for modeling the rotor and the wake are discussed. Regarding rotor modeling, recent advances in the generalized actuator approach and the direct model are discussed, as far as it attributes to the wake description. For the wake, the focus is on the different turbulence models that are employed to study wake effects on downstream turbines.
RADIX-10 PARALLEL DECIMAL MULTIPLIER (2012)

This paper introduces novel architecture for Radix-10 decimal multiplier. The new generation of highperformance decimal floating-point units (DFUs) is demanding efficient implementations of parallel decimal multiplier. The parallel generation of partial products is performed using signed-digit radix-10 recoding of the multiplier and a simplified set of multiplicand multiples. The reduction of partial products is implemented in a tree structure based on a new algorithm decimal multioperand carry-save addition that uses a unconventional decimal-coded number systems. We further detail these techniques and it significantly improves the area and latency of the previous design, which include: optimized digit recoders, decimal carry-save adders (CSA’s) combining different decimal-coded operands, and carry free adders implemented by special designed bit counters.

Application of the turkey herpesvirus vaccine by the aerogenic route for the prevention of Marek's disease. (1976)

President Roosevelt thanks Lady Pauncefote for the books and is sad that she is leaving. Lady Pauncefote was the wife of Baron Pauncefote, the British Ambassador to the United States who died May 24, 1902.
Adolescent Sexual Behavior: Context and Change (1974)

The study evaluates the proposition that there have been substantial changes in the incidence of adolescent sexual experimentation and in the normative context which facilitates this activity. The stratified, random sample is comprised of 2,064 white adolescents aged 14-17 living in Illinois households. Comparing their self-reported incidences of coitus with those obtained for Kinsey's samples, the data support in-tergender convergence, with the unanticipated finding that a substantial reduction in the incidence of male adolescent pre-marital coitus has occurred. A negative relationship obtains between the incidence of coitus and educational aspirations and religiosity. The incidence of coitus is positively related to alienation from parents and, for males, with involvement with peers. For females, the incidence of coitus is associated systematically with extent of dyadic involvement. For both males and females, there is a positive relationship between the incidence of coitus and participation in delinquent activities.

Sentiment miner: A prototype for sentiment analysis of unstructured data and text (2014)

This paper presents a method to apply opinion mining on unstructured text for polarity extraction and classification at sentence level within a document. The generation of massive unstructured information about individuals makes the task of progress tracking and monitoring almost impracticable which results in the quest to find some way for automated text analysis and tagging. The proposed solution in this work is the development of a System (Sentiment Miner). It will provide features to process and classify text files (reviews and appraisals) for opinion mining at sentence level using Natural language Processing techniques and Opinion Mining algorithms. The prototype of a final product; a Semantic Search Engine will facilitate in document retrieval for analysis whenever required.

Variation in the Chemical Composition of Crude Glycerin (2009)

The lack of knowledge about the component concentrations of crude glycerol is lmiting its use as a feedstuff. The goal of this project was to determine the concentrations of various compounds and their variation within crude glycerin. Sixteen samples of crude glycerin from biodiesel producers primarily from the Midwest were collected. The samples were procured from nine different vendors between January 2007 and February 2009 with the majority, nine of 16, being collected during October 2008. The glycerin in these samples resulted from biodiesel produced from soybean oil, canola oil, tallow, and restaurant waste. Color and viscosity of the samples varied. The pH of the samples was as follows: average = 8.25, range = 5.55 to 12.36, standard deviation (SD) = 2.06 and coefficient of variation (CV) = 24.93%. The ash concentration of the samples was: average = 4.79%, range = 1.28 to 8.98%, SD = 2.32 and CV = 48.35%. The ash was very variable due to the catalyst used in production of biodiesel and the different steps used in purifying the glycerin. Ethyl alcohol concentration was low in all of the samples (< 10 ppm). The concentration of methanol was very variable among the samples, reflective of the methanol added during the biodeisel production for formation of fatty acid esters without separation of the alcohol from the glycerin. Moisture was the next most variable in the samples (average = 6.12%, CV = 72.7%). Concentrations of fatty acids in the samples were negligible. Glycerol concentration in the samples was not very variable (average = 30.5%, CV = 1.7%). This was unexpected, especially in relationship with the variation in the other variables described; higher glycerol was expected in samples with less moisture and methanol. These data reveal that the composition of crude glycerin is quite variable, the high concentrations of methanol will limit the use of glycerin as animal feed from some sources, and the high concentrations of components other than glycerol will reduce the energy concentration of crude glycerin.

Demographics and financial asset prices in the major industrial economies (2003)

This paper explores the relationship between demographics and aggregate financial asset prices in 7\nOECD countries over the past 50 years. Unlike most extant work it adopts an international as well as\nUS focus, and also includes non-demographic variables usually considered to influence asset prices in\nthe econometric specification. Furthermore, we examine effects on bond yields as well as share prices.\nThe results indicate a significant link between panel, international and US demographics on the one\nhand, and real stock prices and real bond yields on the other. The international results are of particular\ninterest given their robustness and the logic of international financial integration. Generally, an\nincrease in the fraction of middle-aged people (aged 40-64) tends to boost real asset prices. A\ncorollary is that a decline in this cohort in coming decades will tend to weaken them. More tentative\nresults including estimated effects of the over-65 cohort in the US suggest a more severe downturn is\npossible, thus underlining the potential market risks associated with sole reliance on fully funded\npension schemes.
Studies on Nonaqueous Emulsions (2015)

Synopsis--A departure from traditional methods and concepts of emulsion technology has resulted in the development of a family of nonaqueous emulsions which possess a variety of interesting and unique properties. Liquids representing the polar phase include glycerin, propylene glycol, and polyethylene glycol 400. Olive oil was used as the nonpolar phase liquid. Representative anionic, cationic, and nonionic surfactants were employed. Con-ventional theories and methodology are not readily translatable to the nonaqueous systems in many instances. For example, emulsion type and method of preparation seem to be more closely related to the chemical nature of the surfactant than to other types of classification such as the HLB system.
The effect of clozapine therapy on frontal lobe dysfunction in schizophrenia: neuropsychology and event-related potential measures (1998)

There are several reports that performance-based measures as well as symptom ratings improve with clozapine in patients with schizophrenia who previously responded poorly to typical neuroleptic treatment. It is not clear whether improved cognitive function following initiation of clozapine is simply related to relief of psychotic symptoms and extrapyramidal side-effects associated with prior use of typical neuroleptics, or reflects another dimension of the greater efficacy of clozapine compared with typical neuroleptics. To elucidate this issue and better specify the cognitive changes associated with use of clozapine, the authors have assessed cognitive function psychometrically and using event-related potentials (ERPs), pre- and 8-12 wk post-initiation of clozapine treatment. Patients were rated on the BPRS, the SAPS and the SANS and completed a number of tests tapping aspects of frontal lobe function. ERP recordings were conducted using an auditory task twice, which was repeated under passive and active attention conditions. It was found that clozapine differentially affects tests reflecting executive and planning function, and not stimulus-driven cognitive functions. The results were not consistent with the hypothesis that these effects were simply due to relief of medication side-effects but could be related to the D(1) receptor antagonist actions of clozapine.
Defence molecules in intestinal innate immunity against bacterial infections (2005)

Bacterial vaginosis and the risk of early miscarriage in women undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles: a prospective cohort study (2017)

This study aimed to assess the possible association of bacterial vaginosis (BV) and early miscarriage in 408 women undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) for reasons of male infertility. A vaginal sample was obtained before oocyte retrieval and evaluated for BV-associated bacteria using the Nugent scoring system. The primary outcome was early miscarriage and the secondary outcomes included implantation, pregnancy, late miscarriage, preterm delivery and live birth rates. Chi-square, ANOVA, relative risk and odds ratio were used for data analysis where appropriate. The prevalence of BV was estimated as 7.3%. From 336 patients who had embryo transfer, 138 patients (41.1%) conceived. A total of 17% (n = 23) of pregnant women miscarried during the first trimester: 15 patients (15%) were normal, 4 (17.4%) were intermediate and 4 (26.7%) patients had BV (p = 0.52). The relative risk of early miscarriage in BV patients compared to the non-BV and intermediate group was 1.77 (0.68-4.64, 95% CI). Implantation, pregnancy, preterm delivery and live birth rates were comparable between groups. We conclude that BV does not appear to have an adverse impact on outcomes in women being treated with ICSI for male factor infertility and is not associated with miscarriage and preterm birth.
System dynamics—background, methodology, and applications. Part 1: Background and methodology (1993)

System dynamics is a methodology for modelling and redesign manufacturing, business, and similar systems which are part man, part machine. It has been around for over 30 years. Some management consultants make extensive use of system dynamics, whilst others do not. Why is this so, and is it primarily an educational problem? In this two-part article we describe the methodology, trace its history, and show how it fits into a problem-solving spectrum in between, but overlapping with, system theory and system thinking.In Part 1 we show how both servotheory and cybernetics have influenced system dynamics and examine the linguistic, investigative and numerical information souces which can be used for model building. Central to this exercise is the use of input-output analyses which are the system dynamics equivalent of writing down balance equations for hardware systems. We also comment on the important role of system dynamics ‘user friendly’ software in business games, and the relevance of the method as perceived by a very experienced management consultant.In Part 2 we consider what can be done to better exploit system dynamics in the area of improving business competitiveness. The solution proposed here is to integrate the use of servotheory within the system dynamics framework. The illustrative example chosen requires the smoothing of material flow within a supply chain via the effective use of all available marketplace information in contrast to acting only on distorted orders passed on by the adjacent echelon. It is concluded that the ideal background for a successful system dynamicist is good experience in both control and industrial engineering.
