In an attempt to reduce cost while maintaining good customer service, some of the leading manufacturers in the computer industry are delaying product differentiation (by exploiting component commonality) while managing broader product lines. In an environment where demands are stochastic, it seems a good strategy to store inventory in the form of semi-finished products (vanilla boxes) that can ...

I discuss the theoretical implications of the WMAP results, stressing WMAP’s detection of a correlation between the E-mode polarization and temperature anisotropies, which provides strong support for the overall inflationary paradigm. I point out that almost all inflationary models have a “vanilla limit,” where their parameters cannot be distinguished from a genuinely de Sitter inflationary pha...

Acrylamide is an undesirable carcinogenic component of thermally processed foods arising from reducing saccharides and asparagine at the temperature more than 120 °C. The acrylamide content in food could be influenced by many factors such as temperature, time, water content, pH and matrix constituents. Recently, antioxidants such as phenolic compounds, flavonoids, vitamins and phenolic extracts...

In the dairy industry, natural plant-based powders are widely used to develop flavor and functionality. However, most of these ingredients are water-insoluble; therefore, emulsification is essential. In this study, the efficacy of high pressure homogenization (HPH) on natural plant (chocolate or vanilla)-based model emulsions was investigated. The particle size, electrical conductivity, Brix, p...
