Isolation and Characterization of Zein from Corn Distillers' Grains and Related Fractions (1997)

ABSTRACT Corn distillers' grains with solubles (CDGS), the major coproduct of fermentation of corn to produce ethanol, were extracted with 0.1 M NaOH, 0.1% dithiothreitol (DTT), and 0.5% SDS yielding 35% of the total nitrogen and ≈25% of the protein nitrogen. Gel electrophoresis revealed that the extractable proteins contained zein plus other proteins similar to the extractable proteins from corn flour. Although difficult to extract, the proteins isolated from the fermentation coproducts appeared undegraded and apparently survived gelatinization, fermentation, distillation, and drying during the production of ethanol. Extraction of CDGS with 60% ethanol at 60°C yielded 1.5–3.9% of crude zein. When the ethanol contained DTT, yields of crude zein were increased to 3.2–6.6%. Protein contents of the crude zeins were only 37–57%, indicating that lipids and pigments were coextracted with the ethanol. Gel electrophoresis showed that the protein fractions extracted by ethanol contained primarily α‐zein whereas the proteins extracted by ethanol + DTT contained α‐ + β‐zein. Further confirmation of the presence of zein in the crude prolamin preparations was obtained by amino acid analyses. The amino acid compositions of the crude zeins paralleled those of commercial zein and α‐zein.

Technical Improvements in Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (2014)

Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is a promising technique to study tissue properties and function <em>in vivo</em>. The presence of a susceptibility source will lead to a non-local field variation which manifests as a non-local behavior in magnetic resonance phase images. QSM is an ill-posed inverse problem that maps the phase back to the susceptibility source. In practice, the phase images are usually contaminated by background field inhomogeneities. In this thesis, several technical advances in QSM have been made which accelerate the data processing and improve the accuracy of this ill-posed problem. For background field removal, the local spherical mean value filtering (LSMV) is proposed, in which the global phase unwrapping is bypassed. This algorithm improves the time-efficiency and robustness of background field removal. For solving the inverse problem, an improved version of the k-space/image domain iterative algorithm is demonstrated using multi-level thresholding to account for the variation in the susceptibilities of different structures in the brain. The susceptibility maps could be used to generate orientation independent weighting masks, to form a new type of susceptibility weighted image (SWI), referred to here as true-SWI (tSWI). The tSWI data show improved contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of the veins and reduced blooming artefacts of the microbleeds. Finally, it is shown that the effective magnetic moment, being the product of the apparent volume and the measured susceptibility of the small object, is constant. This can be used to improve the susceptibility quantification, if <em>a priori</em> information of the volume is available.
Carotenoids reduce the chromosomal damage induced by bleomycin in human cultured lymphocytes. (1993)

The supplementation with beta-carotene and canthaxanthin, two carotenoids with and without pro-vitamin A activity, reduced in vitro the number of micronuclei induced in human cultured lymphocytes by the chemotherapeutic radiomimetic drug bleomycin. The genotoxic activity of this substance is supposed to be mediated by a free radical mechanism. The reduction of micronucleated cells was in correlation with donors' carotenoid blood levels. It has been observed that 20 weeks are needed, following the end of carotenoid supplementation, in order to return to the high levels of micronuclei induced by bleomycin. It is suggested that this protective effect is due to the antioxidant properties of carotenoids acting against free radical-mediated genotoxic damage.

Nanomaterial-based Electrochemical Sensors for the Detection of Glucose and Cholesterol (2012)

Electrochemical detection methods are highly attractive for the monitoring of glucose, cholesterol, cancer, infectious diseases, and biological warfare agents due to their low cost, high sensitivity, functionality despite sample turbidity, easy miniaturization via microfabrication, low power requirements, and a relatively simple control infrastructure. The development of implantable biosensors is laden with great challenges, which include longevity and inherent biocompatibility, coupled with the continuous monitoring of analytes. Deficiencies in any of these areas will necessitate their surgical replacement. In addition, random signals arising from non-specific adsorption events can cause problems in diagnostic assays. Hence, a great deal of effort has been devoted to the specific control of surface structures. Nanotechnology involves the creation and design of structures with at least one dimension that is below 100 nm. The optical, magnetic, and electrical properties of nanostructures may be manipulated by altering their size, shape, and composition. These attributes may facilitate improvements in biocompatibility, sensitivity and the specific attachment of biomaterials. Thus, the central theme of this dissertation pertains to highlighting the critical roles that are played by the morphology and intrinsic properties of nanomaterials when they are applied in the development of electrochemical biosensors.

Analysis and design of a three-levelPWM converter system for railway-traction applications (1997)

The paper analyses the merits and demerits of three-level PWM converters through the comparison with two-level PWM converters. A general method for analysing the switching modes of PWM converters is described and an analysis of the three-level PWM converter is presented as an example. A neutral-point voltage-balance-control algorithm together with its hardware and software implementation is presented. A three-step methodology of rapid prototyping by using CAD for the system design, using a real-time simulator for checking the implementation and using high-power testing for validating the system, is described.
Manatee lays groundwork for commercial use of Orimulsion (1994)

This article describes the conversion of an oil fired plant to Orimulsion described as a fourth fossil fuel, Orimulsion will replace oil at FP and L's Manatee station. The project involves unique business arrangements as well as important combustion, emissions control, and fuel handling system modifications. Florida Power and Light Co (FP and L) spent several years investigating the use of Orimulsion, including a full-scale five-months demonstration at its Sanford Station Unit 4. Now, the utility has taken the next giant leap; it has committed to convert the Manatee station for full-scale use of this unique fuel. The resulting project breaks new ground in the electric-generating business in several ways, including these: It represents the first long-term commercial contract for use of Orimulsion in the US, and the largest commitment world-wide. It involves unique business arrangements--not the least of which is the second major contract at an electric-utility station for a third-party-owned and operated flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) system. It indicates risk-taking on the part of utilities--with two 800-MW units, Manatee embodies a substantial amount of FP and L's total and incremental capacity base.
A Relational Hyperlink Analysis of an Online Social Movement (2011)

In this paper we propose relational hyperlink analysis (RHA) as a distinct approach for empirical social science research into hyperlink networks on the World Wide Web. We demonstrate this approach, which employs the ideas and techniques of social network analysis (in particular, exponential random graph modeling), in a study of the hyperlinking behaviors of Australian asylum advocacy groups. We show that compared with the commonly-used hyperlink counts regression approach, relational hyperlink analysis can lead to fundamentally different conclusions about the social processes underpinning hyperlinking behavior. In particular, in trying to understand why social ties are formed, counts regressions may over-estimate the role of actor attributes in the formation of hyperlinks when endogenous, purely structural network effects are not taken into account. Our analysis involves an innovative joint use of two software programs: VOSON, for the automated retrieval and processing of considerable quantities of hyperlink data, and LPNet, for the statistical modeling of social network data. Together, VOSON and LPNet enable new and unique research into social networks in the online world, and our paper highlights the importance of complementary research tools for social science research into the web.
An index structure for parallel database processing (2003)

In relational database management systems, indexing is a popular and powerful technique to accelerate database processing. There are two main research issues on indexing; index structures and access controls. The studies of index structures, which are usually trees or hashing, aim at lower access cost and smaller storage overhead. On the other hand, the studies of access controls focus on concurrency of transactions accessing the same index. The root node of a tree-structured index, is a hot hot spot accessed by several transactions concurrently. If index keys are inserted or deleted frequently, many conflicts occur and the performance of the system is degraded. This problem is serious in multiprocessor environments where several processors access the same database in parallel. Similar problems occur in intra-transaction parallelism. The response time of a transaction cannot be reduced enough if parallel portions of the transaction conflict with each other while updating an index. A new index structure and its access control are discussed to achieve inter- and intra-transaction parallelism on shared memory multiprocessors. They dominate the utilization of processors in the systems.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Privacy aware data generation for testing database applications (2005)

Testing of database applications is of great importance. A significant issue in database application testing consists in the availability of representative data. In this paper, we investigate the problem of generating a synthetic database based on a-priori knowledge about a production database. Our approach is to fit general location model using various characteristics (e.g., constraints, statistics, rules) extracted from the production database and then generate the synthetic data using model learnt. The generated data is valid and similar to real data in terms of statistical distribution, hence it can be used for functional and performance testing. As characteristics extracted may contain information which may be used by attacker to derive some confidential information about individuals, we present our disclosure analysis method which applies cell suppression technique for identity disclosure analysis and perturbation for value disclosure.

Theory of eddy-current brakes with thick rotating disc (1977)

The braking forces acting on a thick conducting disc rotating in the field of rectangular electromagnets are examined. The analysis is based on the solution of quasi-one-dimensional vector potential in the plate and airgap regions of the device. Finite thickness of the plate is taken into account explicitly in deriving the general expression for the braking force. This expression is shown to reduce to the conventional induction motor characteristic in the thin plate limit and a simple original expression is presented for the calculation of braking forces in the skin-effect region.
Finite Element Analysis of High-Strength Concrete Flat Columns with Diagonal Reinforcements (2013)

Based on the reversed cyclic loading test of three 1:4 high-strength concrete flat columns, the computer program ABAQUS was used to simulate behaviors of the specimens. Concrete in the column was modeled using the damage plasticity material model, and a uniaxial steel model with combined isotropic and kinematic hardening properties was used to simulate the behavior of the reinforcement. The establishment of the finite element model, definition of the material parameters and the influence of diagonal reinforcement were discussed at length. The results show that the concrete damage plasticity model can be well used for hysteretic analysis of reinforced concrete members if the relevant parameters are reasonably defined. Diagonal reinforcements can not significantly improve ductility of the specimens, but can improve their shear capacities. This paper can provide reference for the performance simulation of reinforced concrete members under cyclic loading.
Differences in proliferation, differentiation, and cytokine production by bone cells seeded on titanium–nitride and cobalt–chromium–molybdenum surfaces (2012)

Titanium-nitride coating is used to improve cobalt-chromium-molybdenum implant survival in total knee arthroplasty, but its effect on osteoconduction is unknown. Chromium and cobalt ions negatively affect the growth and metabolism of cultured osteoblasts while enhancing osteoclastogenic cytokine production. Therefore, it was hypothesized that a titanium-nitride surface would enhance osteoblast proliferation and/or differentiation and reduce osteoclastogenic cytokine production compared with a cobalt-chromium-molybdenum surface. MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts showed increased proliferation and decreased differentiation on titanium-nitride, while cytokine interleukin-6 production was higher on porous cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (p < 0.05), though interleukin-1β was occasionally detected on both surfaces. These findings suggest improved osteoconduction on titanium-nitride compared with cobalt-chromium-molybdenum surface.

Stress And The Chinese Key Middle School (2010)

The Chinese key middle school is different from the non-key middle school in several ways. First, thekey middle school enrolls students with higher examination scores. The students study in smallerclasses—ordinarily there are 50 students in one key middle school class, fewer than the non-keymiddle school. Accordingly, each individual in the key middle school can get more attention fromteachers. Second, outstanding graduate students from advanced normal universities are assigned toteach in the key middle schools. Third, better teaching facilities are provided to help the students withtheir studies.

Staff nurse perceptions of agency goals and priorities are important to successful functioning of health care agencies. In this study staff nurse perceptions of the relative importance of eight health department programs were compared to time and budget allocations for each program. Discrepancies between the nurses views of program priorities and actual distribution of effort provided the nursing administrator with useful information for analyzing future program efforts.
The acid‐binding properties of long‐chain aliphatic amines (1948)

Abstract Long‐chain aliphatic tertiary amines such as methyldioctylamine can be used as anion exchangers. Tertiary amines are much more efficient as acid‐binders than primary or secondary amines. The acid‐binding efficiency of tertiary amines improves as the length of the carbon chain increases. Strong acids are extracted more readily than weak acids and can be removed from mixtures with weak acids. Methyldioctylamine and the anion‐exchange resin De‐acidite C have acid‐binding capacities of the same order. The technique can be used to remove mineral acids from acid hydrolysates of protein, but is not of much value for the extraction or purification of penicillin.
Effect of Metakaolin Content on the Properties of High Strength Concrete (2013)

This study presents the effect of incorporating metakaolin (MK) on the mechanical and durability properties of high strength concrete for a constant water/binder ratio of 0.3. MK mixtures with cement replacement of 5, 10 and 15 % were designed for target strength and slump of 90 MPa and 100 25 mm. From the results, it was observed that 10 % replacement level was the optimum level in terms of compressive strength. Beyond 10 % replacement levels, the strength was decreased but remained higher than the control mixture. Compressive strength of 106 MPa was achieved at 10 % replacement. Splitting tensile strength and elastic modulus values have also followed the same trend. In durability tests MK concretes have exhibited high resistance compared to control and the resistance increases as the MK percentage increases. This investigation has shown that the local MK has the potential to produce high strength and high performance concretes.

A case of bovine mastitis caused by<i>Bacillus</i>cereus (1999)

Abstract Although the cause of most bovine mastitis can be attributed to the major pathogens of the udder (Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp. and Escherichia coli), occasional cases occur that are caused by more unusual organisms. The mastitis caused by a number of these organisms may be characterised by a very marked degree of tissue damage and, consequently, grossly abnormal mammary secretions. Notable amongst such organisms is Bacillus cereus, for which a number of cases have been reported from many countries with significant dairy industries (Scheifer et al., 1976 Scheifer, B,, McDonald, KR,, Klavando, GG, and Dreumel, AA van. 1976. Pathology of Bacillus cereus mastitis in dairy cows. Canadian Veterinary Journal, 17: 239–43. [Google Scholar]; Jones and Turnbull, 1981 Jones, TO, and Turnbull, PC. 1981. Bovine mastitis caused by Bacillus cereus. Veterinary Record, 108: 271–4. [Google Scholar]). In a British survey, B. cereus mastitis accounted for 0.3% of cases (Johnson, 1986 Johnson, KG. 1986. Bacillus cereus mastitis in lactating cows. Proceedings of 14th World Congress on Diseases of Cattle, Dublin, 2: 1100–4. [Google Scholar]), whilst in the Sydney region of Australia, 119 cows were diagnosed with B. cereus mastitis between 1960 and 1985 (Johnson, 1986 Johnson, KG. 1986. Bacillus cereus mastitis in lactating cows. Proceedings of 14th World Congress on Diseases of Cattle, Dublin, 2: 1100–4. [Google Scholar]). However, no previous case reports have been found for cattle in New Zealand, although it is isolated from time to time in routine culture of milk from cows with inexplicably high somatic cell counts (Anon, 1982 Anon. 1982. Bacillus cereus isolates from milk. Surveillance, 9(2): 21–21. [Google Scholar]; Graham, 1998 Graham, C. 1998. Bacillus species and non-spore-forming anaerobes in New Zealand livestock. Surveillance, 24(4): 19–19. [Google Scholar]). Only a very few cases have been reported from pastoral cattle anywhere in the world.
