Heat treatment may result in variation of wood equilibrium moisture content (EMC). During this study, tauari (Couratari oblongifolia), ash (Fraxinus excelsior), and oak (Quercus rubra) woods were heat-treated at 190, 200, and 210oC for 3 hours and then put into a conditioning chamber with a temperature from 30 to 75oC and a relative humidity from 50 to 90%. The isothermal moisture adsorption cu...

Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMC) is a rare soft-tissue sarcoma, which primarily occurs deep in the extremities, especially in skeletal muscle, or tendon. EMC of the pleura has been described, however, no case of primary EMC arising from lung has been previously reported. We describe herein, a 51-year-old Asian female initially manifested with signs of severe anemia who presented with a...

To determine the potential of an inhibitory interaction between the carotid sinus baroreflex (CSB) and the exercise pressor reflex (EPR), both pathways were activated to produce sympathoexcitation. It was hypothesized that, under conditions when the baroreflex increased sympathetic outflow, the interaction between CSB and EPR would be inhibitory. Bilateral carotid occlusion (BCO), electrically ...

Greetings EMC Society Young Professionals (YPs)! I hope you are well and off to a fantastic start 2021. I'm very much looking forward the opportunities ahead of us all, this year beyond.

The History column of the EMC Magazine contains three primary areas in this issue. first area interest is 50-25-10 Year sAgo article, secondarea are publis hed article from an Society Founder and Past-President 1970, third highlights C63 Committee on EMC.

BACKGROUND In microorganisms lacking a functional glyoxylate cycle, acetate can be assimilated by alternative pathways of carbon metabolism such as the ethylmalonyl-CoA (EMC) pathway. Among the enzymes converting CoA-esters of the EMC pathway, there is a unique carboxylase that reductively carboxylates crotonyl-CoA, crotonyl-CoA carboxylase/reductase (Ccr). In addition to the EMC pathway, gene ...

The increased pollution arising from different stages of producing, distributing, and disposing of electronics products highlights the importance of green operations (GO) in terms of process and product stewardship to mitigate environmental damages and satisfy the escalating social expectation for environmentally friendly operations in the electronics industry. Drawing on the natural-resourceba...

Spurious EM interactions within and between systems endanger and may disturb their proper functional performance. The prevention, elimination or suppression of such electromagnetic interference (EMI) to a satisfactory level constitutes the engineering discipline– EMC – ElectroMagnetic Compatibility. Its objective is preservation or recovery of expected performance of electronic systems at minim...

—With the evolving technological development of integrated circuits, ensuring electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is becoming a serious challenge for electronic circuit and system manufacturers. Although electronic components must pass a set of EMC tests to ensure safe operations, the evolution over time of EMC is not characterized and cannot be accurately forecast. This paper presents an origi...
