In recent years, the introduction of aerodynamic appendages and study their performance in MotoGP motorcycles has increased exponentially. It was 2016, with single electronic control unit, that search began for alternative methods to generate downforce were not solely reliant on motorcycle’s electronics. Since then, all types spoilers, fins wings have been observed fairings motorcycles. The lat...

Rosenthal (1981) gets off to a bad start. The first sentence says "Pierce (1981) claims to have tested the Rosenthal-Sen (1973, 1977) spatial model of French voting behavior by using individual survey responses" (p. 363). Readers will look in vain for any such claim in my article. What I did, "by a different method than that employed by Rosenthal and Sen" (Pierce, 1981, p. 118), was to apply th...

Previously isolated lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from seafood products have been investigated for their capacity to increase the sensory shelf life of vacuum-packaged shrimp and cold-smoked salmon and to inhibit the growth of three pathogenic bacteria. Two different manufactured batches of cooked, peeled, and vacuum-packaged shrimp were inoculated with seven LAB strains separately at an initial l...

Aircraft on approach in high-drag and high-lift configuration create unsteady flow structures which inherently generate noise. For devices such as flaps, spoilers and the undercarriage there is a strong correlation between overall noise and drag such that, in the quest for quieter aircraft, one challenge is to generate drag at low noise levels. This paper presents a rigorous aero-acoustic asses...

Current designs for the Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSPEC) for NGST include a configurable multi-object option in which a micro-electric mechanical system (MEMS) is used to form a dynamic slit mask. MEMS elements are turned “on” where the targets of interest are placed, and “off” elsewhere. The ability of MEMS devices to reject unwanted light, that is, light from portions of the field of view...

Raw bovine milk is highly nutritious as well as pH-neutral, providing the ideal conditions for microbial growth. The microbiota of raw milk is diverse and originates from several sources of contamination including the external udder surface, milking equipment, air, water, feed, grass, feces, and soil. Many bacterial and fungal species can be found in raw milk. The autochthonous microbiota of ra...

We examine a solution concept, called the “value,” for n-person strategic games. In applications, the value provides an a-priori assessment of the monetary worth of a player’s position in a strategic game, comprising not only the player’s contribution to the total payoff but also the player’s ability to inflict losses on other players. A salient feature is that the value takes account of the co...

The aim of this work was to study the interaction of corrugated and plastic materials with pathogenic and spoiling microorganisms frequently associated to fresh produce. The effect of the two packaging materials on the survival during the storage of microorganisms belonging to the species Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enteritidis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Lactobacillus p...

WHEN your chairman asked for a description of grassland research in the United States, present and future, the mere thought of the task brought me a picture of a flea contemplating an elephant. Grassland agriculture is so large and varied in its entirety, is spread over so many disciplines, and is so complex in the interrelationships of the biological, social and economic communities that I can...
