In this study, compressive strength and contraction of Polymer Composite Laminates made of E-Glass / Carbon bi-woven fabric reinforced in Epoxy resin matrix has been evaluated experimentally. Composite laminates were fabricated using hand lay-up technique for different ply orientations of 0,30,45,60 and stacking sequence of (00/300/450/600)2S for 2 and 3 mm laminate thickness. The laminates wer...

This study compared the efficacy of lactoferricin B (LB), peroxyacetic acid (PAA), acidified sodium chlorite (ASC), cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), acetic acid (AA), lactic acid (LA), acidified chlorite (AC) and water when analyzed as dipping solutions for fresh beef carcass tissue (BCT) surfaces for reducing populations of Escherichia coli O157:H7. In this study, CPC reduced E. coli O157:H7 po...

Introduction: In the search for life on Mars nearsurface soil environments may be important habitats for life accessible to future missions. Serpentinite rocks have been documented on Mars [1], as well as other clay minerals including smectite and kaolinites [2, 3]. Previous studies of soils formed on serpentinites on Earth have documented the formation of extensive clays, including smectite [4...

An afterdischarge in the bag cell neurons of Aplysia was previously shown to be associated with calcium entry into these cells and with changes in the phosphorylation state of at least two bag cell proteins (BC-I and BC-II). We have now investigated the role of calcium plus calmodulin (Ca/CaM) in the control of phosphorylation of Aplysia nervous system proteins, including those of the bag cell ...

Surface pasteurization and food-grade chemicals were evaluated for the ability to control listeriae postprocess on cook-in-bag turkey breasts (CIBTB). Individual CIBTB were obtained directly from a commercial manufacturer and surface inoculated (20 ml) with a five-strain cocktail (ca. 7.0 log) of Listeria innocua. In each of two trials, the product was showered or submerged for up to 9 min with...

The Problem: Traditional information retrieval systems based on the “bag-of-words” paradigm cannot capture the semantic content of documents. While these systems are relatively robust and have high recall, they suffer from very poor precision. On the other hand, it is impossible with current technology to build a practical information access system that fully analyzes and understands unrestrict...

In this paper, we are going to find meaning of words based on distinct situations. Word Sense Disambiguation is used to find meaning of words based on live contexts using supervised and unsupervised approaches. Unsupervised approaches use online dictionary for learning, and supervised approaches use manual learning sets. Hand tagged data are populated which might not be effective and sufficient...

The production of conidia of entomopathogenic Beauveria bassiana by solid-state fermentation was studied for the development of a biocontrol agent against aphid Myzus persicae. The optimal conditions for conidia production on polished white rice were 40% moisture content, 25℃ culture temperature, 2-day-old seeding culture grown in 3% corn meal, 2% rice bran, 2% corn steep powder medium, initial...
