EFFECT OF HARVEST DATE ON AGRONOMIC AND CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF ONTARIO PEANUTS (1984)

A field experiment was conducted in 1980 and 1981, on Fox loamy sand, to study the influence of five successive harvest dates on the agronomic and chemical characteristics of peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.) grown in Ontario. A spanish type (cv. Comet) and a valencia type (cv. McRan) were examined. Delaying harvest increased yield, sound mature kernels, seed-hull ratio, oil content and the economic return. Crude protein tended to be higher in the immature peanuts but the iodine number and oil stability showed larger differences between cultivars than among harvest dates. Cultivar differences were also apparent for the fatty acids, and more mature peanuts tended to be higher in oleic acid and lower in palmitic, behenic and lignoceric acids.Key words: Peanuts, valencia, spanish, harvest dates, yield, maturity, quality

A Thermostable Glucoamylase from Bispora sp. MEY-1 with Stability over a Broad pH Range and Significant Starch Hydrolysis Capacity (2014)

GLA15 has a broad pH stability range, high-temperature thermostability, high starch hydrolysis capacity and high expression yield. In comparison with the commercial glucoamylase from A. niger, GLA15 represents a better candidate for application in the food industry including production of glucose, glucose syrups, and high-fructose corn syrups.
The Coming of the Republic (1996)

On 28 January 1930, seven years of dictatorial rule in Spain ended with Primo de Rivera's forced resignation. The king handed over the reins of government to General Damaso Berenguer, a conservative military man charged with the uncomfortable and, ultimately, impossible task of overseeing a return to constitutional government. Catholic political interventions in favour of the monarchy were not confined to the ranks of the clergy. Despite its national prominence, the Derecha Liberal Republicana lacked any extensive organizational infrastructure in the provinces. Although the leaders of the Derecha Liberal Republicana went to some pains throughout the election campaign to demonstrate both their personal religious beliefs and their respect for the institutional Church, the Spanish hierarchy continued in its implicit-and occasionally overt-support for the monarchy.
Airborne Research Vehicle Applications in Australia (1994)

Airborne Research Vehicles of Australia (ARVA) is a facility for the provision and support of aircraft equipped for scientific and technical research, with special emphasis on environmental monitoring. The mission is to develop and maintain a collaborative and synergistic utilisation of existing assets of research aircraft and the associated highly skilled personnel to achieve complementary scientific and commercial aims in a cost-efficient way. ARVA is an extension of a basic system already in place, but is aimed at retaining a capability (and expertise) in Australia, preserving significant national assets that would be extremely expensive to replace, and relieving funding pressures on scientific institutions by having an organisation that would ultimately be self-funding. ARVA can provide a sophisticated aeronautical, atmospheric and scientific research capability, as well as the capacity to carry out comprehensive environmental survey programs and the airborne testing of a wide range of aircraft related equipment. ARVA is able to offer the scientific and non-scientific customer a complete test and evaluation facility which is financially viable without stretching available resources beyond their limits, while still remaining on the leading edge of instrument and sensor technology for specific task applications.
The discharge rate capability of rechargeable Li–O2 batteries (2011)

The O2electrode in Li–O2cells was shown to exhibit gravimetric energy densities (considering the total weight of oxygen electrode in the discharged state) four times that of LiCoO2 with comparable gravimetric power. The discharge rate capability of Au-catalyzed Vulcan carbon and pure Vulcan carbon (VC) as the O2electrode was studied in the range of 100 to 2000 mA gcarbon−1. The discharge voltage and capacity of the Li−O2 cells were shown to decrease with increasing rates. Unlike propylene carbonate based electrolytes, the rate capability of Li−O2 cells tested with 1,2-dimethoxyethane was found not to be limited by oxygen transport in the electrolyte. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) showed lithium peroxide as the discharge product and no evidence of Li2CO3 and LiOH was found. It is hypothesized that higher discharge voltages of cells with Au/C than VC at low rates could have originated from higher oxygen reduction activity of Au/C. At high rates, higher discharge voltages with Au/C than VC could be attributed to faster lithium transport in nonstoichiometric and defective lithium peroxide formed upon discharge, which is supported by XRD and X-ray absorption near edge structure O and Li K edge data.

LGD-4033 was safe, had favorable pharmacokinetic profile, and increased lean body mass even during this short period without change in prostate-specific antigen. Longer randomized trials should evaluate its efficacy in improving physical function and health outcomes in select populations.
Zeta potential and electroosmotic mobility in microfluidic devices fabricated from hydrophobic polymers: 1. The origins of charge (2008)

This paper combines new experimental data for electrokinetic characterization of hydrophobic polymers with a detailed discussion of the putative origins of charge at water-hydrophobe interfaces. Complexities in determining the origin of charge are discussed in the context of design and modeling challenges for electrokinetic actuation in hydrophobic microfluidic devices with aqueous working fluids. Measurements of interfacial charge are complicated by slip and interfacial water structuring phenomena (see Part 2, this issue). Despite these complexities, it is shown that (i) several hydrophobic materials, such as Teflon and Zeonor, have predictable electrokinetic properties and (ii) electrokinetic data for hydrophobic microfluidic systems is most consistent with the postulate that hydroxyl ion adsorption is the origin of charge.

Epitaxial growth of CoSi/sub 2/ by Co/Ti/Si solid phase reaction and its application in salicide technology (2002)

Co/Ti/Si ternary solid phase interaction is a new method of CoSi/sub 2//Si hetero-epitaxy. The experimental results on Co/Ti/Si solid state interaction behavior, epitaxial growth of CoSi/sub 2/ on Si substrate, self-aligned silicidation of source/drain contact and polysilicon gate by Co/Ti/Si solid phase reaction, and applications of the new salicide technology in device fabrication are described and discussed.
Highly sensitive integrated pressure sensor with horizontally oriented carbon nanotube network (2014)

This paper presents a functionalized, horizontally oriented carbon nanotube network as a sensing element to enhance the sensitivity of a pressure sensor. The synthesis of horizontally oriented nanotubes from the AuFe catalyst and their deposition onto a mechanically flexible substrate via transfer printing are studied. Nanotube formation on thermally oxidized Si (100) substrates via plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition controls the nanotube coverage and orientation on the flexible substrate. These nanotubes can be simply transferred to the flexible substrate without changing their physical structure. When tested under a pressure range of 0 to 50 kPa, the performance of the fabricated pressure sensor reaches as high as approximately 1.68%/kPa, which indicates high sensitivity to a small change of pressure. Such sensitivity may be induced by the slight contact in isolated nanotubes. This nanotube formation, in turn, enhances the modification of the contact and tunneling distance of the nanotubes upon the deformation of the network. Therefore, the horizontally oriented carbon nanotube network has great potential as a sensing element for future transparent sensors.
Thyroid function in pre‐eclampsia (1988)

Thyroid function was studied in 24 proteinuric pre-eclamptic patients and 24 gestation-matched controls. The pre-eclamptic patients had significantly lower mean total (TT4) and free thyroxine (FT4), and thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) concentrations, and the concentration of thyroid-stimulating hormone was significantly higher. The mean total triiodothyronine (TT3) concentration, however, was similar to the controls. This is at variance with the classical low T3 syndrome reported previously for pre-eclamptic patients. Compared to the controls, 33.3% and 29.2% of the pre-eclamptic patients had low TT4 and TT3 concentrations respectively. Pre-eclamptic patients with low TT4/TT3 had significantly higher plasma urate concentrations. Thyroid hormone concentrations may reflect the severity of pre-eclampsia.
Musculoskeletal Modeling and Dynamic Simulation of the Thoroughbred Equine Forelimb During Stance Phase of the Gallop (2004)

Because thoroughbred racehorses have a high incidence of forelimb musculoskeletal injuries, a model was desired to screen potential risk factors for injuries. This paper describes the development of a musculoskeletal model of the thoroughbred forelimb and a dynamic simulation of the motion of the distal segments during the stance phase of high-speed (18 m/s) gallop. The musculoskeletal model is comprised of segment, joint, muscle-tendon, and ligament information. The dynamic simulation incorporates a proximal forward-driving force, a distal ground reaction force model, muscle activations, and initial positions and velocities. A simulation of the gallop after transection of an accessory ligament demonstrated increased soft tissue strains in the remaining support structures of the distal forelimb. These data were consistent with those previously reported from in vitro experimental data and supported usefulness of the model for the study of distal forelimb soft tissue mechanics during the stance phase of the gallop.
Quantum Theory of \v{C}erenkov Radiation, Spectral Cutoff and Resonances (2014)

We show that the well-established \v{C}erenkov Effect contains new phenomena arising directly from the quantum nature of the charged particles. These include large deviations from the classically-expected radiation intensity and angle. Most importantly, we find that the traditional Cerenkov angle splits, confining the emitted radiation into two distinctive cones into which two photonic shock waves are emitted. Interestingly, one of the two shockwaves can move on a backward cone, which is otherwise considered impossible for \v{C}erenkov Radiaiton in ordinary materials. Moreover, for specific values of the particle momentum, we predict an upper frequency cutoff in the photon emission. Surprisingly, for this extremum frequency we find a diverging rate of photon emission, implying this is a new resonant light-matter interaction. Some of these new effects cannot be found without the full quantum derivation. Importantly, our findings are observable for electron beams with realistic parameters, offering new applications including coherent x-ray sources and open a new realm for \v{C}erenkov detectors.
Recombinant Environmental Libraries Provide Access to Microbial Diversity for Drug Discovery from Natural Products (2003)

To further explore possible avenues for accessing microbial biodiversity for drug discovery from natural products, we constructed and screened a 5,000-clone "shotgun" environmental DNA library by using an Escherichia coli-Streptomyces lividans shuttle cosmid vector and DNA inserts from microbes derived directly (without cultivation) from soil. The library was analyzed by several means to assess diversity, genetic content, and expression of heterologous genes in both expression hosts. We found that the phylogenetic content of the DNA library was extremely diverse, representing mostly microorganisms that have not been described previously. The library was screened by PCR for sequences similar to parts of type I polyketide synthase genes and tested for the expression of new molecules by screening of live colonies and cell extracts. The results revealed new polyketide synthase genes in at least eight clones. In addition, at least five additional clones were confirmed by high-pressure liquid chromatography analysis and/or biological activity to produce heterologous molecules. These data reinforce the idea that exploiting previously unknown or uncultivated microorganisms for the discovery of novel natural products has potential value and, most importantly, suggest a strategy for developing this technology into a realistic and effective drug discovery tool.
Greedy sensor selection: Leveraging submodularity (2010)

We consider the problem of sensor selection in resource constrained sensor networks. The fusion center selects a subset of k sensors from an available pool of m sensors according to the maximum a posteriori or the maximum likelihood rule. We cast the sensor selection problem as the maximization of a submodular function over uniform matroids, and demonstrate that a greedy sensor selection algorithm achieves performance within (1 - 1/e ) of the optimal solution. The greedy algorithm has a complexity of O(n <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sup> mk), where n is the dimension of the measurement space. The complexity of the algorithm is further reduced to O(n <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> mk) by exploiting certain structural features of the problem. An application to the sensor selection in linear dynamical systems where the fusion center employs Kalman filtering for state estimation is considered. Simulation results demonstrate the superior performance of the greedy sensor selection algorithm over competing techniques based on convex relaxation.
Software in silicon: the methodology behind Sun's GX graphics accelerator architecture (2002)

The Sun GX graphics engine uses the host CPU as the main controller and has all its graphics functionality hardwired directly into two large ASICs; the FBC (frame buffer controller) and TEC (transformation engine and cursor). The GX has only three instructions: rendering arbitrary, filled quadrilaterals; displaying precomputed pixel images; and block image transfers. With these instructions the GX can do at least 80% of the most used functions in its targeted markets: window systems, 2-D geometry, and 3-D wireframe. The criteria, limitations, and approaches used for the GX architecture design are described. The GX architecture, the technology used in its implementation, the functionality and performance needed by applications, and future enhancements to the GX family of graphics devices are presented.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
The role of Epac proteins, novel cAMP mediators, in the regulation of immune, lung and neuronal function (2009)

Chronic degenerative inflammatory diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and Alzheimer's dementia, afflict millions of people around the world, causing death and debilitation. Despite the global impact of these diseases, there have been few innovative breakthroughs into their cause, treatment or cure. As with many debilitating disorders, chronic degenerative inflammatory diseases may be associated with defective or dysfunctional responses to second messengers, such as cyclic adenosinemonophosphate (cAMP). The identification of the cAMP-activated guanine nucleotide exchange factors for Ras-like GTPases, Epac1 (also known as cAMP-GEF-I) and Epac2 (also known as cAMP-GEF-II), profoundly altered the prevailing assumptions concerning cAMP signalling, which until then had been solely associated with protein kinase A (PKA). Studies of the molecular mechanisms of Epac-related signalling have demonstrated that these novel cAMP sensors regulate many physiological processes either alone and/or in concert with PKA. These include calcium handling, cardiac and smooth muscle contraction, learning and memory, cell proliferation and differentiation, apoptosis, and inflammation. The diverse signalling properties of cAMP might be explained by spatio-temporal compartmentalization, as well as A-kinase anchoring proteins, which seem to coordinate Epac signalling networks. Future research should focus on the Epac-regulated dynamics of cAMP, and, hopefully, the development of compounds that specifically interfere with the Epac signalling system in order to determine the precise significance of Epac proteins in chronic degenerative inflammatory disorders.
Ferroelectric nanotubes fabricated using nanowires as positive templates (2006)

The authors report on fabrication and electrical characterization of ferroelectric nanotubes and metal-ferroelectric-metal composite nanotubes using silicon and ZnO nanowires as positive templates. Nanotubes of high aspect ratio with a minimum inner diameter of about 100nm and a length ranging from 0.5μm to a few microns have been obtained by magnetron sputtering and/or pulsed laser deposition. Metal-ferroelectric one-dimensional structures were characterized by piezoelectric scanning probe microscopy, showing piezoelectric hysteresis loops and ferroelectric switching. The presented fabrication approach can be used to fabricate three-dimensional capacitors for ferroelectric nonvolatile memories as well as nanosize piezoelectric scanners and actuators.
Permeation enhancement of octreotide by specific bile salts in rats and human subjects:<i>in vitro, in vivo</i>correlations (1996)

1. The potential of bile salts to improve the enteral absorption of octreotide, an orally active somatostatin analogue, was investigated by a combination of in vitro, in situ and in vivo experiments. 2. Incorporation of octreotide into lipid monolayers (as measured by area increase of the monolayer at constant surface pressure using a Langmuir-Blodgett trough set-up) depended on the type of bile salt used for monolayer pre-treatment. Addition of 20 microM octreotide to the subphase containing 20 microM of the dihydroxylated bile salt ursodeoxycholate (UDCA) causes a 9% increase in area, whereas addition of octreotide to the subphase containing the 7 alpha-enantiomer of UDCA, chenodeoxycholate (CDCA), resulted in an area increase of the lipid monolayer of 20%. Area increase by octreotide alone was not significantly different from the increase of octreotide and UDCA in combination. 3. CDCA and UDCA in combination with octreotide increased the permeability of liposomal membranes for rubidium ions, whereas octreotide alone did not significantly change the permeability. This indicates membrane distortion as a possible cause for the enhanced absorption of octreotide by bile salts. 4. In polarized Caco-2 cell monolayers octreotide exhibited a permeation coefficient of 0.008 +/- 0.004 cm h-1. Addition of 0.2-1% of UDCA to the apical incubation medium had no significant effect upon the permeation coefficient. In contrast, 0.2-1% CDCA in the incubation medium resulted in a significant increase (P < 0.05) of the monolayer permeability of octreotide (0.015-0.037 cm h-1). 5. Octreotide was absorbed as the intact peptide from the gastrointestinal tract in rats with an absorption efficiency of 0.26%. Coadministration of bile salt resulted in a dose-dependent increase in absorption efficiency of the peptide up to 20.2%. The observed effect was more pronounced for CDCA than for UDCA. 6. The effect of CDCA and UDCA on octreotide absorption in vivo was assessed in a pharmacokinetic study with healthy volunteers. After oral administration of 4 mg octreotide in the presence of 100 mg bile salt, an average bioavailability of the peptide of 1.26% was achieved in the presence of CDCA, whereas in the presence of UDCA a bioavailability of only 0.13% was reached. This difference was statistically significant (P < 0.01). 7. In conclusion, the co-administration of CDCA is able to enhance the enteral absorption of octreotide. The in vitro and in situ experiments were predictive for the observed effect in human subjects.
