The speed in distributing the products of industry is influenced by production produced itself. SMEs know that ECO one manufacturing industries engaged food manufacturing. there are obstacles (problems) experienced, namely occurrence inequality between capacity tofu can be and demand for must met. purpose this study to increase Tofu Eco terms increasing working time. method used research dynami...

Rotary kilns are widely used for the thermal treatment of highly toxic waste. The waste (mostly organic compounds) is packed in barrels before it is fed in the kiln. Depending on the compound the heating inside the kiln leads to deflagrations of the barrels associated with an incomplete burnout. In this paper we present a new method to detect and track waste barrels in infrared image sequences ...

The anatomical representations of the large facial whiskers, termed barrels, are topographically organized and highly segregated in the posteromedial barrel subfield (PMBSF) of rat layer IV primary somatosensory cortex. Although the functional representations of single whiskers are aligned with their appropriate barrels, their areal extents are rather large, spreading outward from the appropria...

Complex spatial patterning, common in the brain as well as in other biological systems, can emerge as a result of dynamic interactions that occur locally within developing structures. In the rodent somatosensory cortex, groups of neurons called "barrels" correspond to individual whiskers on the contralateral face. Barrels themselves often contain subbarrels organized into one of a few character...

The x-ray coordinates of beta-barrel transmembrane proteins from the porins superfamily and relatives are used to calculate the mean tilt of the beta-strands and their mean local twist and coiling angles. The 13 proteins examined correspond to beta-barrels with 8 to 22 strands, and shear numbers ranging from 8 to 24. The results are compared with predictions from the model of Murzin, Lesk, and ...

During development, activity in the somatosensory cortex is characterized by intermittent oscillatory bursts at gamma (early gamma-oscillations, EGOs) and alpha-beta (spindle-bursts, SBs) frequencies. Here, we explored the topography of EGOs and SBs in the neighbor barrels of the whisker-related barrel cortex of neonatal rats (P4-7) during responses evoked by simultaneous activation of multiple...

Sensory whiskers are mapped to rodent layer 4 somatosensory cortex as discrete units termed barrels, which can be visualized at high resolution in living brain slices. Both anatomical and physiological properties of the layer 4 neuronal network can thus be investigated in the context of the functional boundaries of this sensory map. Large-scale confinement of neuronal arbors to single barrels w...

The neurons in layer IV of the mouse somatosensory cortex are arranged in a remarkably consistent pattern of multicellular cytoarchitectonic units called "barrels." Each barrel is known to be related, in a one to one manner, to a contralateral whisker or vibrissa on the animal's face. In this study we have examined Golgi-impregnated neurons that comprise the "barrels." Several criteria, some be...

BACKGROUND Cortical whisker barrels in the primary somatosensory cortex are a well-known example of brain function in rodents. The well-defined relationship between barrels and whiskers makes this system a unique model to study neuronal function and plasticity. In this study, we sought to establish a feasible working protocol of applying manganese-enhanced MRI (MEMRI) to map the cortical barrel...
