Within the last several years, the poultry industry has seen a dramatic increase in the occurrence of pale, soft, and exudative (PSE) meat. This problem is known to be associated with a rapid decline in postmortem (PM) muscle pH, which results in inferior protein functionality similar to that found in PSE pork. Many factors such as seasonal changes have been known to influence the occurrence of...

As human activities expand into naturally or man-made radiation-prone environment, the need for radiation-hardened (Rad-Hard) electronic hardware surges. The state-of-the-art silicon-based and 2D materials-based Rad-Hard transistors can withstand up to 1 Mrad (Si) of total ionization dose (TID), while higher TID tolerance is being heatedly sought after. Here, few-layer MoS2 field-effect (FETs) ...

The role of the Internet is about to change again. After the hype of web portals we look forward to an Internet in which networked services dominate. Already today we can find services on the Internet in a large number of different categories: communication, on-line shopping, entertainment, enterprise services to mention only a few. However, problems with the currently prevailing infrastructure...

BACKGROUND Studies on prevalence of pale, soft, exudative (PSE) condition in Sri Lankan poultry industry is minimal. Hence, the objective of present study was to determine the incidence of PSE chicken meat in a commercial meat processing plant and to find out its consequences on meat quality traits of roasted chicken breast. METHOD A total of 60 breast fillets were randomly selected, evaluate...

abstract main objective of this paper is to investigate the impact of exchange rate misalignment on wheat’s producer estimates (pse), using the 1989-2007 period’s data. for this purpose, vector error correction model (vecm) along with the use of real exchange rate based on purchasing power party (ppp) was applied to estimate nominal equilibrium exchange rates. then, by using market price suppor...

Peanut skin extract (PSE) and grape seed extract (GSE) are derived from waste products in the wine and peanut industries, respectively. Both have high concentrations of polyphenols, known to possess antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. PSE primarily contains "A-type" procyanidins, while GSE primarily contains "B-type" procyanidins. These differ structurally, but are both isomers of epicate...

This paper focuses on a special kind of corporate computing systems which we call process supporting environments (PSE). PSEs are CSCW applications guiding or even automating (parts of) business processes. Two different research communities are working on PSEs, namely the software process (SP) community on the one hand and the workflow management (WFM) community on the other hand. Both try to s...

Biochemical changes of natural actomyosin from fresh pale, soft, exudative (PSE) and normal pork were studied, and the effects of different storage temperatures and different incubation temperature and times on sample superprecipitation, total sulfhydryl (-SH) content, and ATP (adenosine triphosphate) sensitivity were investigated. The results demonstrated that ATPase activity and thermal stabi...

Following the common use of of commodity hardware to build clusters, we argue that commodity software should be harnessed in a similar way to support Scientiic and Engineering work. Problem Solving Environments (PSE) provide the arena where commodity software technology can modernise the development and execution environment. We describe a PSE prototype based on the standard software infrastruc...

Parkinsonism and portosystemic encephalopathy (PSE) are cerebral disorders associated with motor and neuropsychological dysfunctions that may occur in patients with chronic liver disease. We describe a patient with parkinsonism and neuroradiologic and 1H spectroscopic findings of PSE associated with a large congenital intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunt. Chronic liver disease was absent. Af...
