Catabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids plays an important role in the development of cheese flavor. During ripening, cystathionine beta-lyase (CBL) is believed to contribute to the formation of volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) such as methanethiol and dimethyl disulfide. However, the role of CBL in the generation of VSCs from the catabolism of specific sulfur-containing amino acids is not ...

In this paper, a fuzzy based Variable Structure Control (VSC) with guaranteed stability is presented. The main objective is to obtain an improved performance of highly non-linear unstable systems. The main contribution of this work is that, firstly, new functions for chattering reduction and error convergence without sacrificing invariant properties are proposed, which is considered the main dr...

Controlled islanding has been widely discussed in the literature as a novel concept for the power system protection. However, the islanding can result in unbalanced islands where the power mismatch will often cause an instability that can lead either to a subsequent load shedding or generator tripping within the islands. Controlled VSC-HVDC links can mitigate the negative consequences of the co...

AIMS   To investigate the production of volatile sulphur compounds (VSC) in the segments of the large intestine of pigs and to assess the impact of diet on this production. METHODS AND RESULTS   Pigs were fed two diets based on either wheat and barley (STD) or wheat and dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS). Net production of VSC and potential sulphate reduction rate (SRR) (sulphate sa...

We used a novel mammalian coculture system to study ACh receptor (AChR) redistribution and synaptic structure at nerve-muscle contacts. Ventral spinal cord (VSC) neurons were plated on cultures containing extensive myotubes but few fibroblasts. Neurite-induced redistribution of AChRs occurred within 6 hr after plating neurons and was maximal between 36-48 hr. This AChR redistribution appeared i...

تأثیر پرتوگیری مزمن بر ساکنین مناطق با پرتوزایی طبیعی بالا در شهر رامسر، استفاده از روش سیتوژنتیک سنجش هستک­های متوقف شده مرحله سیتوکینز و مقایسه­ی نتایج میان دو گروه مورد مطالعه کنترل، بررسی قرار گرفت. نشان داد اختلاف معنی­داری (001/0< P) میانگین فرکانس شمارش لنفوسیت­های خون محیطی (ساکن منطقه­ی بالای رامسر) کنترل تنکابن) وجود دارد. هم­چنین، بعد پرتودهی نمونه­ها، افزایش بیش­تری را هستک­ها نسبت ...

In this paper, selection of the state feedback gains by Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique is presented contrary to the selection of the feedback gains reported in literature. The proposed design has been applied to the inverter fed induction motor drive system. The system performance has been simulated and compared with some previous methods such as Variable Structure Controller (VSC)...
