The frequency and the density of the species associated with grape sour rot in different cultivars were determined. The most frequent species in the rotten grapes, Candida krusei, Kloeckera apiculata, and Metschnikowia pulcherrima, and a less frequent species, Issatchenkia occidentalis, when inoculated with Saccharomycopsis crataegensis were able to induce in vitro the symptoms of the disease. ...

• phenomena-based process intensification approach to generate sustainable separation of sour gases from offshore natural gas is proposed. All possible alternatives using a bottom-up are explored systematically. Six intensified identified as novel and innovative candidates worthy potential industrial application. Offshore represents significant portion global reserves. Processing essential for ...

The chemical degradation of alloy components in sulfur-containing environments is a major concern in oil and gas production. This paper discusses the effect of elemental sulfur and its simplest anion, sulfide, on the corrosion of Cr-Mo alloy steel at pH 2 and 5 during 10, 20 and 30 h immersion in two different solutions. 4130 Cr-Mo alloy steel is widely used as tubing and tubular components in ...

Sour congee, a traditional fermented cereal gruel, has been consumed for hundreds of years in the western regions of Inner Mongolia in China. The preparation procedure for sour congee could be generalized across different regions. Cereal grains, mainly millet and rice (sometimes blended with a little maize) are soaked with clean water in a pot at room temperature (about 25°C) for 3‒4 days. Duri...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To determine the distribution of the perceived intensity of salt, sweet, sour, and bitter in a large population and to investigate factors associated with perceived taste intensity. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional population. METHODS Subjects (n = 2,374; mean age, 48.8 years) were participants in the Beaver Dam Offspring Study examined during 2005 to 2008. Perceived taste...

The start up &#10 dynamics of a one-million and two-hundred-thousand liter anaerobic digester of municipal waste treatment sludge was studied. In the digester, mixing was accomplished by circulation of the produced biogas at a rate of 0.13 m3 per hour of the digester volume per hour. During the nine-month study, no serious phenomena of foaming, getting sour, temperature fall, etc. were observe...

Cable and Wireless, Jamaica (C&WJ) operated in Jamaica under an exclusive license which made them a virtual monopoly. In 1999 the Government of Jamaica decided to renegotiate the license and liberalize the telecommunications industry. Early in the liberalization process new companies entered the market and C&WJ struggled to cope with the new competitive dynamics of the market. C&WJ although dom...

J Neurophysiol 108: 3206–3220, 2012. First published September 5, 2012; doi:10.1152/jn.00916.2011.—The relationship between taste receptor cell (TRC) Ca concentration ([Ca ]i) and rat chorda tympani (CT) nerve responses to salty [...

The presence of defective coffee beans depreciates the quality of the coffee beverage consumed worldwide. The intrinsic defects (sour, black and immature beans) are the ones that, when roasted, contribute the most to the depreciation of the coffee beverage quality. Color sorting is the major procedure employed for separation of defective and non-defective coffee beans prior to roasting. However...
