Fiber is basically composed of plant-based food matter (i.e., fruits, veggies, whole grains, and legumes) that can?t be broken down by your digestive system. Whole foods contain both soluble (dissolves in water) and insoluble (does not dissolve in water) fiber. Although the recommendations below don?t distinguish between these two types of fiber, they are different and have distinct functions ?...

Fig. 1 Colour change of CO2-sensing pigment exposed to 100% CO2. A number of optical indicators have been developed in recent years to detect the presence of CO2 at different levels, depending on the desired application. The majority of CO2 indicators work via the change in pH which occurs when CO2 dissolves in water. A pH-sensitive dye, D , changes colour when it reacts with the protons genera...

Vapor degreasing uses a partially full container of cleaner heated to its boiling point. The parts to be cleaned are suspended in the vapor cloud above the boiling liquid. The vapor condenses on the cooler parts, dissolves the contaminants and flushes the liquid mixture back into the hot liquid. When the cleaning process is complete, the parts are removed from the tank and they quickly dry in t...

Abstract The paradox of pain refers to the idea that folk concept is paradoxical, treating pains as simultaneously mental states and bodily (as described in papers by Hill Borg et al.). By taking a close look at our terms, this paper argues there no pain. air dissolves once we recognize terms are polysemous two separate but related concepts rather than one.

The Cover Feature shows that straightforward dissolution of noble metals such as gold and copper is important to their recycling. A combination a chlorophosphorane hydrogen peroxide in acetonitrile rapidly dissolves gold, copper, palladium produce chloridometalate complexes. This method was applied the electronic waste, facilitating separation these valuable metals. More information can be foun...

A shot in a digital video sequence may be defined as a set of images (frames) from a single camera. A shot boundary is determined when one shot changes to another shot. A scene is a collection of one or more shots focusing on one or more objects of interest. Video shot boundary detection is a fundamental step for content based video analysis. Various methods have been proposed and developed to ...

Policy-making is a dynamic process in which policies can be changed in each period but continue in the absence of new legislation. We study a dynamic legislative bargaining game with an endogenous status quo where in each period a dollar is allocated with a proposal voted against the allocation in the previous period. We characterize for any initial status quo a class of simple Markov perfect e...

Amalgam has, ever since its introduction 150 years ago, been the subject of recurrent controversies because of its mercury content. Amalgam is an unstable alloy and continuously gives off mercury (Hg) in the form of gas, ions and abraded particles (Stock, 1939 a, Radics et al., 1970, Mocke, 1971, Till and Wagner, 1973, Svare et al., 1981). Amalgam contains an especially cor-rodible gamma-2-phas...

In this paper, we present a novel approach for clip-based key frame extraction. Our framework allows both clips with subtle changes as well as clips containing rapid shot changes, fades and dissolves to be well approximated. We show that creating key frame video abstractions can be achieved by transforming each frame of a video sequence into an eigenspace and then clustering this space using Ga...

RELIABLE SHOT DETECTION. A shot is commonly defined as the uninterrupted recording of an event or locale. Any video sequence in this world consists of one or more shots concatenated by some kind of transition effects. Therefore, shots are generally considered as the elementary units constituting a video. Detecting shot boundaries thus means recovering those elementary video units, which in turn...
