Whisk finger: an electric hand whisk injury with an ischaemic fingertip

Saccharomyces cerevisiae in the Production of Whisk(e)y

Whisk(e)y is a major global distilled spirit beverage. Whiskies are produced from cereal starches that are saccharified, fermented and distilled prior to spirit maturation. The strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae employed in whisky fermentations is crucially important not only in terms of ethanol yields, but also for production of minor yeast metabolites which collectively contribute to developm...

development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...

Unique Use of Cross-Finger Flap for Reconstruction of an Index Fingertip Electrical Injury

An unusual finger injury.

A 39 year old female farmer with no medical history presented to the emergency department with a painless swelling over her right index finger. The problem started two weeks earlier after she had been bitten by a lamb. After the injury the finger appeared “bruised.” This bruising continued and a swelling gradually developed. She reported no pain, changes in sensation, or reduced range of moveme...

Elemental Profiles of Whisk(e)y Allow Differentiation by Type and Region

Elemental fingerprints could provide an analytical approach to product differentiation and authentication, and have been used in the past for various distilled spirits, including brandy, gin, bourbon and tequila. However, a comparison of elemental differences between different whisk(e)y types, such as Bourbon and Scotch, is still missing. In this study we compare the elemental fingerprints of 6...
