One of the systems in integrated launch vehicle responsible for prelaunch processing and is a ground thermal conditioning system, which supplies low-pressure air into vehicle’s “dry” compartments. Thermal system mated with vehicle, using mating interfaces, proper functioning enhances reliability support equipment, entire space system. The article describes key requirements to interfaces drawbac...

For convenience, many cheese varieties, including Cheddar, are available preshredded in translucent modified atmosphere packaging (MAP). Although flavor development in traditional Cheddar cheese has been well documented (Christensen and Reineccius, 1995; Dunn and Lindsay, 1985; Engels and Visser, 1994; Fox et al., 1995; Manning, 1978; Urbach, 1995), little is known about the flavor chemistry of...

Two instabilities could take place in plasma with a bi-Maxwellian proton distribution function with Tp‖ > Tp⊥, where Tp‖ and Tp⊥ are proton temperatures, parallel and perpendicular, respectively, to the background magnetic field. The first instability is the fire hose (or whistler fire hose), generating low-frequency whistler waves at parallel propagation. We found a new, second instability, th...

J. Econ. Entomo!. 75: 492-494·(1982) Studies conducted to determine Thrips tabaci Lindeman damage and contamination in sauerkraut revealed that both occur at detectable levelsin processedcabbage, althoughsuch levelsare much lower than predicted from examination of fresh cabbage. Addition of the chemical preservativessodium benzoate (0.1%) and potassiummetabisulfite (0.05%) had no effect on plan...

To accommodate major civil engineering projects in or in the vicinity of peatlands, it is essential to stabilise peat deposits. On the other hand, the accumulation of waste tyres in recent decades has caused environmental problems around the world. An effective remedy for both issues is to use scrap tyre material to stabilise problematic peat soils. This article reports an experimental investig...

The analysis is based on the records antI flludimugs in a gIo)tup of 437 white muales in whoni Hodgkin’s disease was first diagnosed in Army hospitals during the World War II period of service (1941-1946). Included are all cases answering this description and entered in the Lym )hatic Tuunor Registry of the Armed Forces Itustitute of Pathology. The ages of the patients at the time of diagnosis ...
