The electronegativities of -SF₅, -CF₃SO₂, and -SO₂F have been measured with gas phase X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Of these three groups previously measured values were found only for -SF₅. The electronegativities of -Cl, -Br, -CF₃, and -CF₃, were concurrently measured to determine how the findings of this research compare with other...
The main focus of this work is on the problem of existence of nonlinear optimal controllers
realizable by artificial neural networks. Theoretical justification, currently
available for control applications of neural networks, is rather limited. For example,
it is unclear which neural architectures are capable of performing which control
tasks. This...
Proteolysis of myofibrillar proteins in Pacific whiting surimi occurs when the 50-
70°C temperature range is reached during standard cooking procedures (e.g. 90°C for 15
min). This proteolytic activity results in the softening of surimi gels. Bovine plasma
protein (BPP) is the most effective of the food-grade inhibitors used to...
The purpose of this study was to develop a conceptual framework to enhance the redesign of a safety system. To identify the limitations of the current safety system, the concepts of congruency and integration of the safety function within a specific university environment were examined through a case study methodology....
