The consumption of seafood in the United States has increased rapidly in recent years due to high quality protein and health benefits of seafood. Seafood can be a carrier for bacteria normally distributed in the marine environment and, in some cases, can be contaminated by human pathogens. Therefore, there is...
Oysters are filter-feeding bivalves, which filter water for nutrients and often accumulate contaminants and human pathogens such as Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnificus naturally occurring in the marine environment. These naturally occurring pathogens have been frequently isolated from raw shellfish, particularly oyster, in the United States and are recognized as...

Perturbed angular correlation (PAC) spectroscopy of dilute zirconia alloys
and YBa₂Cu₃0₇₋x, ceramic superconductors at elevated temperature have been
measured using ¹¹¹Cd as the probe.
The oxygen vacancy concentration in the zirconia samples was controlled by
doping with yttrium or indium, which introduce vacancies, or with niobium, which
removes vacancies. A...
In order to produce infectious virus progeny, vaccinia virus (VV)
undergoes morphogenic proteolysis to regulate the structural rearrangements of
virus particles. Several of the major structural precursor proteins of VV are
cleaved at a conserved Ala-Gly-X (where X is any amino acid) motif by the VV
I7L core protein proteinase...
The continuous microreactor-assisted solution deposition (MASD) process was used for the deposition of CdS thin films on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass. The MASD system, including a T-junction micromixer and a microchannel heat exchanger is capable of isolating the homogeneous particle precipitation from the heterogeneous surface reaction. The results show...
Three varieties of sweet corn (Zea mays L.) , including
two supersweet (Crisp 'N Sweet 710 and Rogers 3376) and one
normal sweet (Jubilee), were harvested at six stages of
maturity (80-72% moisture for supersweet and 75-68% moisture
for normal sweet) at three days intervals. Changes in
physical and chemical...
Production of surimi represents a potential utilization of a number of low-valued
fish species, one of which, Pacific whiting, represents the largest biomass off the West
Coast of the United States. However, a protease enzyme softens the fish flesh in Pacific
whiting and limits the expansion of surimi production.
Many...
The primary goal of this thesis is to fabricate a magnetic film between the coplanar transmitted stripline for crosstalk suppression. Crosstalk is caused from undesired inductive and capacitive coupling of signals between two conductors. The effective crosstalk suppression results from the inductive coupling of circuit elements through the lossy properties...
