Clostridium tyrobutyricum is considered the main agent of late-blowing defect in the production of hard cheese. Here, we described the draft genome sequences and annotation of C. tyrobutyricum strain UC7086, which was isolated from Grana Padano cheese with blowing defect, and C. tyrobutyricum DSM 2637 type strain in a comparative study.

Here we present an alternative, new, unconventional lithographic technique developed to create dense and multilevel nanostructure pattern transfer using a highly accurate polyurethane acrylate (PU, MINS101m, Minuta Tech.) mold and a polyelectrolyte multilayer as the adhesion promotion layer. Specifically, we demonstrate the pattern transfer of periodic 80 nm lines with 400 nm height and complex...

The basis for some common gypsum wallboard mold remediation practices was examined. The bottom inch of several gypsum wallboard panels was immersed in bottled drinking water; some panels were coated and others were untreated. The panels were examined and tested for a period of 8 weeks. This study investigated: (a) whether mold growth, detectable visually or with tape lift samples, occurs within...

In recent years, mold manufacturers have had to meet growing demand for high precision molds, low cost and short delivery time due to the miniaturization of finished products, price competition with overseas companies, and reduced model cycles. In line with these market changes, users have been gradually inclined to shift their machining methods applied to key mold parts (made of hardened steel...

T he issue of mold contamination has drawn the national and international spotlight on the heels of publicity about prominent situations , such as a hotly contended link between mold and severe illness—and one death—in 10 Ohio infants in 1993 and 1994; a major 2001 insurance battle over the moldy Dripping Springs, Texas, house of Melinda Ballard and her family; the mushrooming mold infestations...

Mold is ubiquitous, and exposure to mold and its products of metabolism is unavoidable, whether indoors or outdoors. Mold can produce a variety of adverse health outcomes by four scientifically validated pathophysiologic mechanisms: hypersensitivity, toxicity, infection, and irritation. Some adverse health outcomes have been attributed to mold for which mechanisms of injury are not well defined...

For the development of a rotational symmetrical polyurethane part with a steel reinforcement, a requirement/constraint driven approach to process design has been taken. In this approach a scale model of the process was built using fused deposition modeling (FDM) rapid prototyping technique, then used to validate design, material and process parameters. After selection and testing on the scaled ...

The article deals with the issue of evaluating performance a composite metal-metal-polymer mold. use mold, including forming plate consisting metal, and metal polymer introduced low cooling efficiency such For this reason, it is important to develop technological solutions that ensure efficient operation system. provides mathematical calculations required amount heat flow when molding thermopla...

In the conventional continuous casting of steel, either mold powder or oil can be added to lubricate the mold from sticking to the solidifying steel shell. The mold powder melts to form a molten slag or flux layer, and also acts to protect the molten steel from oxidation, to insulate the molten steel from heat loss, to absorb inclusions from the molten steel, to regulate heat transfer to mold w...
