The traditional filter paper assay for saccharifying cellulase
originally described by M. Mandels et al (1976) has been modified to
make possible low activity determinations of Trichoderma
cellulases. The enzymatic activity appears to decline during a
prolonged incubation period if no precautions have been taken. By
means of adding bovine...
Investigations of the behavior of the geomagnetic field on geological timescales rely on globally
distributed data sets from dated lava flows. We present the first suitable data from the Arctic region,
comprising 37 paleomagnetic directions from Jan Mayen (71°N, 0.2–461 ka) and Spitsbergen (79°N, 1–9.2 Ma) and five paleointensity results....

The potential for machine learning systems to improve via a mutually beneficial exchange of information with users has yet to be explored in much detail. Previously, we found that users were willing to provide a generous amount of rich feedback to machine learning systems, and that the types of some...
For decades, three producers-organisations, Icelandic Freezing Plants, Iceland Seafood and Union of Fish Producers
(SIF) took care of export and marketing activities of ground fish products from Iceland. These organisations had a
virtual monopoly through export licences in exporting frozen and salted seafood product till late 1980´ and early
1990´....
Low-temperature hydrothermal activity in Iceland is
apparently mostly controlled by dikes and fractures.
Conventional methods of production data analysis are not
readily applicable in cases of heterogeneous/anisotropic
fracture dominated hydrothermal systems. Moreover, the
dikes and fractures may control the heat uptake mechanism
of low-temperature activity.
The free-surface response functions of...
The Roza flow of the Columbia River Basalt group in
Washington State U.S.A. extruded at about 15 Ma during
intermediate geomagnetic polarity. The Roza is underlain
by normal polarity flows and overlain by reversed units.
The Roza is an extensive flow, up to 60 in thick. As the
remanence-blocking isotherms...
Ample research has demonstrated the largely untapped potential of bioactive peptides (BAPs) for treating systematic chronic inflammation (SCI). Protein hydrolysates are the mixture of peptides resulting from the hydrolytic breakdown of a protein. Numerous hydrolysates contain BAPs and exert beneficial effects in both in vitro and in vivo models. In...
Although machine learning is becoming commonly used in today's software, there has been little research into how end users might interact with machine learning systems, beyond communicating simple "right/wrong" judgments. If the users themselves could somehow work hand-in-hand with machine learning systems, the accuracy of learning systems could be improved...
Two experiments were conducted to try and
differentiate variations in the levels of total plasma
protein and plasma protein fractions from three lines of
turkeys, each with distinct muscle morphological
characteristics--Deep Pectoral Myopathy (DPM), Hereditary
Muscular Dystrophy (MDY), and a Broad Breasted Bronze
control (J).
Ten day old poults from...
