Understanding the mechanisms that contribute to the sensory recognition ofdietary fat has become increasingly important given the epidemic of obesity which ispartially driven by high dietary fat intake. While the textural properties of dietary fat (e.g.triglycerides) have been well documented to occur via the activation of trigeminalganglionic neurons (TGNs) in the somatosen...

Major progress of the Heidelberg ion beam cancer ther-apy centre took place in 2007. The first turn of the beamin the synchrotron was reached on February, 7th. Firstbeam in a treatment room was achieved on March, 20th.Until December, 16ththe beam performance in the firsttwo treatment rooms was pushed to the quality which isrequired for patient tre...

In this paper, we describe the scalar magnetic potential in the vicinity of a corner ofa conducting body embedded in a dielectric medium in a bidimensional setting. We make explicitthe corner asymptotic expansion for this potential as the distance to the corner goes to zero. Thisexpansion involves singular functions and singular coefficients. We introduce a method for the calcu-...

the objective of this study was to evaluate lactic flora identification in fresh (one-day) and ripened (90-day) koozeh cheese samples as one of the raw milk cheeses. in first step, in order to isolate the different genera of lactic acid bacteria (lab), selective and differential (corresponding) media were used as follow: mrs for lactobacilli and pediococci, mrs+ vancomycin for leuconostocs, m17...

A total of 912 pigs (PIC TR4 × (Fast LW PIC L02); initially 21.4 lb) were used in a 43-d trial to evaluate the influence feed grade amino acid diets containing 30% dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) fed from 21 75 lb. Pigs randomly assigned pens (19 per pen) and allotted weight blocks 1 4 dietary treatments 12 treatment. Dietary contained low, medium, high, or very high additions acid...

An impressive empirical literature suggests that physical attractiveness is associated with interpersonal attraction and with specific personality traits, some of which are favorable and many of which are objectively unrelated to attractiveness. Interestingly, much of the research investigating the impact of attractiveness on liking and personality inference has not accounted for the role of th...

Experience has shown that instructor-led trainings have some advantages thatcannot easily be overcome by technology enhanced learning. Direct interaction with aninstructor and among the group is often perceived as motivating and more personal. For smallgroups, in-class trainings can be more cost effective. On-line learning often requires aconsiderable amount of self-management a...

Global gene expression was monitored in long-term stationary phase (LSP) cells of E. coli K12 MG1655 and compared with stationary phase (SP) cells that were sub-cultured without prolonged delay to get an insight into the survival strategies of LSP cells. The experiments were carried out using both LB medium and LB supplemented with 10% of glycerol. In both the media the LSP cells showed decreas...

Lactic acid production in a batch submerged fermentation process by five Lactobacilli: bulgaricus, casei, lactis, delbrueckii and fermentum in lactose fortified whey culture were investigated. Kinetic behavior of Lactobacilli growth rate and lactose utilization was studied based on the Moser and Gompertz kinetic models. Trendline tool in Excel software was applied for fitness assessment of the ...

A detailed sensitivity analysis investigating the effect of woody elements introduced into the Discrete Anisotropic Radiative Transfer (DART)model on the nadir bidirectional reflectance factor (BRF) for a simulated Norway spruce canopy was performed at a very high spatial resolution(modelling resolution 0.2 m, output pixel size 0.4 m). We used such a high resolution to be able to parame...
