The effects of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP at 60% N ; 35% CO and 5% O ) and 2 2 2 under-vacuum packaging (UV) and cold storage at 4±1°C for 8 weeks on the quality aspects of traditional and liquid flavorings smoked whole and gutted mullet (Mugil cephalus) were the main objectives of this work. Some quality aspects of smoked mullet involved chemical, microbiological and sensory evaluation...

Ten resistance thermometers were tested as point sensors for detecting the liquid-vapor interface in liquid nitrogen and liquid hydrogen. Test results showed that most could be made to detect the liquid surface and lead orientation can be important. A silicon resistive sensor had the fastest response and produced the greatest signal change.

Mars’ total atmospheric nitrogen content is 0.2 mbar. One-dimensional (1D) photochemical simulations of Mars’ atmosphere show that nitric acid (HNO3(g)), the most soluble nitrogen oxide, is the principal reservoir species for nitrogen in its lower atmosphere, which amounts to a steady-state value of 6×10−2 kg or 4 moles, conditions of severe nitrogen deficiency. Mars could, however, support *10...

A dedicated test of the effects of Nitrogen contamination in liquid Argon has been performed at the INFN-Gran Sasso Laboratory (LNGS, Italy) within the WArP R&D program. A detector has been designed and assembled for this specific task and connected to a system for the injection of controlled amounts of gaseous Nitrogen into the liquid Argon. Purpose of the test is to detect the reduction of th...

ABSTRACT The development of a cryo-cooling microfluidic device for reducing the resistive noise of a magnetic resonance (MR) microcoil to improve its signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in MR microscopy applications is presented. The radiofrequency (RF) spiral coil was cryo-cooled to liquid nitrogen temperature (-196oC) by the integrated microfluidic channels carrying liquid nitrogen for decreasing the...

Fig. 6. Analysis of the volatile amines present in Chenopodium vulvaria L. Curve A: standard mixture ofmono-, diand tri-methylamines. Curve B: chromatogram of the amines present in an acid extract ofthe plant, showing the presence of only ammonia and trimethylamine. (Column length, 4ft.; liquid phase, hendecanol-iS% liquid paraffin (v/v); temp., 78 50; flow rate of nitrogen, 5.7 ml./min.; nitro...

GENIUS is a proposal for a large volume detector to search for rare events. An array of 40–400 ’naked’ HPGe detectors will be operated in a tank filled with ultrapure liquid nitrogen. After a description of performed technical studies of detector operation in liquid nitrogen and of Monte Carlo simulations of expected background components, the potential of GENIUS for detecting WIMP dark matter,...
