[1] Using in situ data from 88 cruises from 1987 to 2009 in the East China Sea, downstream nutrient flux (the product of velocity and nutrient concentration) and nutrient transport (integration of flux over a section) by Kuroshio were examined. The presence of a maximum nutrient flux core in the middle layer was confirmed. Seasonal variation in the nutrient flux was not significant and was much...

A high temperature cascade heat pump (HTCHP) system using low-grade from waste water to generate steam for industrial processes is studied the thermodynamic and economic view. The effects of intermediate temperature, source sink working fluids, pinch point difference at evaporator, condenser, exchanger on performance cost-effectiveness HTCHP are investigated. PBP varying with gas price electric...

The research on improving production efficiency and reducing labor cost by CWS is the focus of notebook computer manufacturing enterprises. This breaks traditional method at end chooses to find breakthroughs from whole life cycle products. Finally, innovatively based product lean design, design side, explore optimization opportunity reduce value production, so as achieve purpose CWS. Firstly, l...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) plasminogen binding protein (PBP) has been proposed as an antigen triggering autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP), the pancreatic manifestation of IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD). We investigated exposure to H. pylori infection, cytokine response and immunological memory to H. pylori PBP in a prospective IgG4-RD cohort in the UK. METHODS Clinic...

Large multilayer neural networks trained with backpropagation have recently achieved state-ofthe-art results in a wide range of problems. However, using backprop for neural net learning still has some disadvantages, e.g., having to tune a large number of hyperparameters to the data, lack of calibrated probabilistic predictions, and a tendency to overfit the training data. In principle, the Baye...

We have identified 2 olfactory specific proteins in the gypsy moth Lymantria dispar that are uniquely associated with the male antennae, the principal olfactory organs of this animal. These proteins were the major soluble protein components of the olfactory sensilla, present in equivalent amounts. Both proteins comigrated on SDS-PAGE, showing an apparent molecular mass of 15,000 Da but migrated...

in this study, the performance of a fabricated fluffer was evaluated and compared with common field curing methods for alfalfa. the drying rate, baling loss and alfalfa nutrient value (dry matter and crude protein) were the criteria for evaluation. the alfalfa was cut using a mower-conditioner. a randomized complete block experimental design was used with three treatments (fluffing swathed alfa...
