Two experiments were conducted to determine the optimum protocol for maximizing meat quality with CaCl2 injection. Experiment 1 compared the effects of 30 min or 24 h postmortem injection of 175 mM CaCl2 or water at 10% (wt/wt) to controls on various measures of meat quality. An injection of CaCl2 reduced (P < .05) shear force values in all three beef muscles evaluated (longissimus, semimembran...

The crystal structure of human muscle creatine kinase has been determined by the molecular-replacement method and refined at 3.5A resolution. The structures of both the monomer and the dimer closely resemble those of the other known structures in the creatine kinase family. Two types of dimers, one with a non-crystallographic twofold symmetry axis and the other with a crystallographic twofold s...

The mathematical formalisms for classical and quantum physics look nothing alike. This is surely one reason why physics students find it difficult to learn quantum mechanics. It is surely also one of the reasons why QM fascinates philosophers — because its formalism seems to resist comparison with the formalism of classical physics. Our goal: We want to overcome this situation of apparent Kuhni...

The effect of Mg2+ on the thermal inactivation and unfolding of rabbit muscle creatine kinase has been studied for various temperatures and Mg2+ concentrations. Increasing the Mg2+ concentration in the denatured system significantly enhanced the inactivation and unfolding of creatine kinase during thermal denaturation. The analysis of the kinetic course of substrate reaction during thermal inac...

This paper presents a WiFi-aided magnetic matching (MM) algorithm for indoor pedestrian navigation with consumer portable devices. This algorithm reduces both the mismatching rate (i.e., the rate of matching to an incorrect point that is more than 20 m away from the true value) and computational load of MM by using WiFi positioning solutions to limit the MM search space. Walking tests with Sams...
