The aim of the project described in this paper was to use modern software component technologies such as CORBA, Java and XML for the development of key modules which can be used for the rapid prototyping of application specific Problem Solving Environments (PSE). The software components developed in this project were a user interface, scheduler, monitor, various components for handling interrup...

As human activities expand into naturally or man-made radiation-prone environment, the need for radiation-hardened (Rad-Hard) electronic hardware surges. The state-of-the-art silicon-based and 2D materials-based Rad-Hard transistors can withstand up to 1 Mrad (Si) of total ionization dose (TID), while higher TID tolerance is being heatedly sought after. Here, few-layer MoS2 field-effect (FETs) ...

In this study, 206 breast fillets were purchased from grocery stores in the province of Quebec and evaluated for presence different quality defects. Of these fillets, 48.5% showed muscle myopathies (BMM), 19.4% pale, soft, exudative (PSE), 6.8% dark, firm, dry (DFD) attributes. BMM equally present ( P > 0.05) economical, commercial, high-quality brands, while PSE-like more economical brands ...

BACKGROUND Studies on prevalence of pale, soft, exudative (PSE) condition in Sri Lankan poultry industry is minimal. Hence, the objective of present study was to determine the incidence of PSE chicken meat in a commercial meat processing plant and to find out its consequences on meat quality traits of roasted chicken breast. METHOD A total of 60 breast fillets were randomly selected, evaluate...

The manufacture of integrated circuits is driven by a demand for faster calculation capabilities and lower costs, which will require the development of a new generation of manufacturing tools to increase yield productivity, spearheaded by improved measurement devices and advanced process control and the necessary engineering support. The objectives of this paper are to motivate work in this fie...

Peanut skin extract (PSE) and grape seed extract (GSE) are derived from waste products in the wine and peanut industries, respectively. Both have high concentrations of polyphenols, known to possess antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. PSE primarily contains "A-type" procyanidins, while GSE primarily contains "B-type" procyanidins. These differ structurally, but are both isomers of epicate...

This paper focuses on a special kind of corporate computing systems which we call process supporting environments (PSE). PSEs are CSCW applications guiding or even automating (parts of) business processes. Two different research communities are working on PSEs, namely the software process (SP) community on the one hand and the workflow management (WFM) community on the other hand. Both try to s...

To analyze the crucial role of fluctuation and relaxation effects for the function of the human brain we studied some statistical quantifiers that support the information characteristics of neuromagnetic brain responses (magnetoencephalogram, MEG). The signals to a flickering stimulus of different color combinations have been obtained from a group of control subjects which is then contrasted wi...

WILSON, L. M., J. R. WILSON AND L. V. DICARA. Facilitation of Pavlovian conditioned cardiodecelerations following preshock in immobilized rats. PHYSIOL. BEHAV. 15(6) 653-658, 1975. Two experiments are reported that examine the effects of unsignalled, inescapable prior shock exposure (PSE) on shock-motivated Pavlovian conditioned heart rate (HR) decelerations in rats. Both studies involved 2 CS-...

Biochemical changes of natural actomyosin from fresh pale, soft, exudative (PSE) and normal pork were studied, and the effects of different storage temperatures and different incubation temperature and times on sample superprecipitation, total sulfhydryl (-SH) content, and ATP (adenosine triphosphate) sensitivity were investigated. The results demonstrated that ATPase activity and thermal stabi...
