Abstract:: The variability introduced into measurements by a measuring instrument is referred to as measurement instrument precision. Experimental procedures and analysis methods exist when measurements are repeatable and can be repeated on the same item. However, when the measurements are destructive and repeated measurements are not possible, estimating measuring instrument precision...

Creator:: Pal, Sushovita
Abstract:: Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are often used for the study of plant genetics and evolution. Plastid and mitochondrial genome sequences have allowed us to investigate plant evolution on a genetic level to infer molecular evolutionary rates, population-genetic processes, co-evolutionary phenomena, and numerous evolutionary questions and hypotheses. Ficus...

Creator:: Andrewson, Toren S.
Abstract:: Starch is a significant component of the human diet and the glucose produced through its digestion provides a critical source of energy. When starch enters the mouth, salivary α-amylase hydrolyzes it into maltooligosaccharides (MOS, degree of polymerization [DP] 3-20) and maltopolysaccharides (MPS, DP >20). Previous studies have found that humans...

Creator:: Leu, Hsuan-Yu
Abstract:: Spray drying has been widely used in food science for long-term storage of products such as powdered milk, and it has recently been used for preservation of more temperature sensitive products such as human blood plasma and single-cell organisms. However, there are no previous reports of successful spray drying of...

Creator:: Coe, Hannah G.
Abstract:: Selective laser melting (SLM) is an additive manufacturing (AM) process that uses a laser beam to melt metal powder as it is spread onto the build surface using a roller or scraper, followed by rapid solidification to manufacture a 3D component, one layer at a time. In SLM process, density...

Creator:: Wang, Wenjie
Abstract:: The objectives of this research were to investigate the optimal conditions for anthocyanins extraction from different anthocyanin rich fruit and to develop microencapsulation formulation for improving stability of anthocyanin extracts. In the extraction optimization study, two extraction methods, "conventional solvent extraction (CE)" and "ultrasound-assisted extraction (UE)" for three different anthocyanin-rich...

Creator:: Wu, Yili
Abstract:: Existing pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are mostly based on petrochemicals. In this study, a novel PSA based on a renewable material, methyl oleate, was prepared and characterized. Methyl oleate was first epoxidized to form epoxidized methyl oleate that was subsequently hydrolyzed and acidified to form epoxidized oleic acid (EOA) which...
