5.1 ABSTRACT A randomized complete block design with five treatments (100% pale, soft, and exudative (PSE), 100% PSE + 1.5% collagen (TC), 100% PSE + 0.30% kappa/iota carrageenan (CG), 100% PSE + 1.5% soy protein concentrate (SPC), and 100% normal) and six replications was utilized to test the effects of raw material, turkey collagen, soy protein concentrate, and carrageenan on protein function...

D A logic program consists of a set of Horn clauses, and can be used to express a query on relational data bases. It is shown that logic programs express precisely the queries in YE+ (the set of queries representable by a fixpoint applied to a positive existential query). Queries expressible by logic programs are thus not first-order queries in general, nor are all the first-order queries expre...

We extend the approach to representation of partial information based on orderings on objects from sets to multisets. We characterize orderings arising under closed-and open-world assumptions and analyze their complexity. In contrast to the set case, where orderings are rst-order deenable and are thus expressible in standard database query languages, the orderings on bags are not expressible in...

McLean’s notion of Selective Interleaving Functions (SIFs) is perhaps the bestknown attempt to construct a framework for expressing various security properties. We examine the expressive power of SIFs carefully. We show that SIFs cannot capture nondeducibility on strategies (NOS). We also prove that the set of security properties expressed with SIFs is not closed under conjunction, from which i...

This study was performed to investigate the effect of dietary processed sulfur supplementation on water-holding capacity, color, and lipid profiles of pork according to the level of dietary processed sulfur (0%, CON; 0.3%, S). The pigs were slaughtered at an average final weight of 120 kg, and the longissimus dorsi muscles were collected from the carcasses. As results, pork processed with sulfu...

Leaf water potential, leaf relative water content, and relative transpiration of barley were determined daily under greenhouse conditions at 3 growth stages: tillering to boot, boot to heading, and heading to maturity. The leaf moisture characteristic curve (relative water content versus leaf water potential) was the same for leaves of the same age growing in the same environment for the first ...

Upon an increase of moisture, unsaturated soil may collapse or swell, depending on the loading state and history. This important characteristic must be realistically reproduced by a constitutive model aimed for practical applications. In addition to collapse/swelling, other essential features, such as deformation and failure following arbitrary shearing paths, must also be realistically reprodu...

The effect of reducing pork meat concentrations from 50% to 30% and replacing it with up to 20% pork head meat on chemical composition, cooking characteristics, physicochemical and textural properties, apparent viscosity, and sensory characteristics of frankfurters was determined. The highest moisture content in frankfurters was found in the control and T1 (frankfurter with 45% pork meat + 5% p...

Submodular constraints play an important role both in theory and practice of valued constraint satisfaction problems (VCSPs). It has previously been shown, using results from the theory of combinatorial optimisation, that instances of VCSPs with submodular constraints can be minimised in polynomial time. However, the general algorithm is of order O(n) and hence rather impractical. In this paper...

Heat stress is one of the prominent ante-mortem stressors that elicits pale, soft, and exudative meat characteristics in stress-susceptible pigs. Industry reports of exudative turkey meat increase in the early summer with the onset of prolonged high temperatures. To study the effect of seasonal heat exposure on turkeys, 122 17-wk-old Nicholas tom turkeys were subjected in January either to grow...
