Decay or annihilation products of superheavy dark matter (SHDM) could be responsible for the end of the Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Ray (UHECR) spectrum. In this case, the south array of the Pierre Auger Observatory should observe in the future a significant anisotropy of UHECR arrival directions towards the galactic center. Here we use the already existing data of the SUGAR array to test this pos...

Considered to be the cleanest liquid fuel, bioethanol can be a reliable alternative to fossil fuels. It is produced by fermentation of sugar components of plant materials. The common onions are considered to be a favorable source of fermentation products as they have high sugar contents as well as contain various nutrients. This study focused on the effective production of ethanol from an endem...

We examined the effects of supplemental food sources on parasitism of turf-infesting white grubs (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) by tiphiid wasps (Hymenoptera: Tiphiidae). Survival of spring active Tiphia vernalis Rohwer and late summer active Tiphia pygidialis Allen, parasitoids of Japanese beetle, Popillia japonicaNewman, andmasked chafer,Cyclocephala spp., grubs, respectively, was signiÞcantly in...

An attempt to enhance the transglycosylation activity of lysozyme -'as made by chemical modification. Computer simulation of the Iysozyme-catalyzed reaction indicated that inhibition of the sugar residue binding te the binding subsite A caused a significant increase in transglycosylation activity. Therefore, the binary modification of Asp 1O1 and Trp 62 in hen egg white lysezyme was made in ord...

The surface composition, in terms of sugar and fat content, on untempered and overtempered chocolates was estimated by carefully scraping the surface layer and analyzing fat and sugar melting enthalpies by differential scanning calorimetry. The dull surface of over-tempered chocolate had a fat and sugar composition similar to the initial chocolate mass, whereas the surface bloom formed on untem...

Kim, M.H., Kim, S.M., Kim, C.S., Park, S.J., Lee, C.H. and Rhee, J.Y. 2002. Quality of Korean ginseng dried by a prototype continuous flow dryer using far infrared radiation and hot air. Canadian Biosystems Engineering/Le génie des biosystèmes au Canada 44: 3.473.54. This study was performed to examine the effects of infrared (IR)/hot-air combination drying on some quality attributes of Korean ...

Between 1947 and 1958, B.C. Sugar—western Canada’s largest sugar manufacturer—ran six major advertising campaigns that depicted Black people as laborers on sugarcane plantations. One of these campaigns, moreover, played upon offensive stereotypes men happy-go-lucky, childlike, suited for manual labor. Analyzing the reach, content, significances this article suggests despite increased civil huma...
