In situ RuBisCO activity was analyzed in order to determine whether 2-carboxyarabinitol 1-phosphate (CA1P) interacts with the enzyme in dark-adapted leaves of Phaseolus vulgaris. Leaves ground to fine powder in liquid nitrogen were put directly into a reaction mixture containing a saturating concentration of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) to preserve the activity of RuBisCO which was in the c...

To assist with the development of intelligent mixing systems, it would be useful to be able to extract the loudness balance of sources in an existing musical mixture. The relative-to-mix loudness level of four instrument groups was predicted using the sources extracted by 12 audio source separation algorithms. The predictions were compared with the ground truth loudness data of the original unm...

Abstract. The development and increase of multi hyperspectral sensors in the recent years have significantly improved urban structure analysis interpretation. current study is first to investigate potential DESIS images for detection or identification roof materials. After field campaigns 2014, 2015 2018 collect ground truth points rooftops radiometric properties; a linear spectral mixture, imp...

a new method was developed for the spectral resolution by further determination of three- and  four-component  mixtures  of  drugs in urine samples through  the complementary application of multivariate curve resolution-alternating least squares with correlation  constraint. in the current study, a simple method was proposed to construct a calibration set for the mixture of drugs in the presenc...

Cork smoker wash solids (black wax) that is obtained in the process of making corkboard by treating ground cork with superheated steam useless waste, generating environmental problems. On other hand, black wax a rich source friedelin (1) and 3-hydroxyfriedel-3-en-2-one (3), pentacyclic triterpenoids belonging to friedelane family. In present work, simple, fast, efficient procedure for extractio...

We examined the distribution of ground-flora species (herbaceous and woody species <1 m tall) across riparian areas of northeastern Wisconsin in an effort to understand how hierarchical landscape properties, such as the physiographic system (ground moraine and outwash plain), valley system (constrained and unconstrained), and valley floor landforms influence distribution patterns of ground-flor...

Swine weighing 80 to 85 kg were fed a basal corn-soybean meal diet plus a mixture of dihydroxyacetone and pyruvate (3:1) (triose) or Polycose (control), a glucose polymer, as 3.85% of calories (4% of the diet). Twenty-four pigs were pair-fed the triose mixture or control diet for 28 d in litter-mate pairs of the same sex. Weight gain and feed consumption were recorded and carcasses were evaluat...

The aim of this study was to classify Envisat MERIS and Landsat ETM satellite sensor imagery using fuzzy classification techniques such as, linear mixture modelling and artificial neural networks. The images were classified successfully using these two techniques. The fuzzy results were more accurate then hard classification. Landsat ETM imagery was classified using maximum likelihood classifie...

The use of a noble gas as an inert tracer for mixing studies in combustion systems is investigated. Simultaneous two-photon laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) of krypton and Rayleigh scattering are used for imaging measurements of mixture fraction and temperature in turbulent non-premixed jet flames. The turbulent flames investigated in this study include a piloted CH4/air flame (Sandia flame D) ...
