The code is developed for the calculation of the magneto-crystalline anisotropy (MAE) in thin films using a classical Heisenberg hamiltonian with a correction developed by Van Vleck. A Metropolis style Monte Carlo algorithm was used with adequate corrections to accelerate the calculation. The MAE was calculated for the case of...
The biochemical and organoleptic changes that took place in
raw whole Pacific shrimp and in the cooked meat during eight days
of iced storage were investigated.
A steady increase of both microbial numbers on the raw shrimp
and pH in the raw shrimp and cooked meat was observed.
The levels...
Two experiments were conducted each with 768 Deka lb XL Single Comb
White Leghorn (SCWL) laying pullets for nine and eight 28-day periods to evaluate
the feeding value of yellow pea (YP) (Pisum sativum L. var. Miranda) without and
with, respectively, either 1.5 or 5% meat and bone meal (MB)...
The validation and potential use of mathematical models to estimate the
shelf-life of refrigerated food exposed to temperature abuse and basing such
estimations on microbial growth was analyzed. Combined heat transfer, microbial
growth models, and non-parametric statistical procedures formed a computer-based
predictive tool to assess shelf-life and estimate the accuracy...
During the last 10 years or so, enormous amounts of money
have been invested in Manzanillo for several new installations
and improvement of others. Some of the most important are the
building of the thermoelectric power plant, the development of
the interior port, construction of new highways, exploitation of
iron...
Research on the ecology of top predators – upper trophic level consumers that are relatively free from predation once they reach adult size – has provided regular contributions to general ecology and is a rapidly expanding and increasingly experimental, multidisciplinary and technological endeavour. Yet, an exponentially expanding literature coupled with...
The ability to integrate designs from board level, multi-chip modules to single process solutions is highly attractive in today's PC multimedia industry. Saving board area and chip count will decrease the production cost of personal computing hardware and increase profitability. The ability to integrate analog circuit capability and it's reference...
Paper microfluidic devices are capable of processing fluids using capillary flow in materials that are lower cost than the standard materials used in microfluidics. Due to the low cost of their fabrication and minimal requirements for instrumentation, paper microfluidic devices are ideal for use in low-resource settings. They have the...
Forests are highly valuable resources providing both timber as well as many non-use values like habitat for various endangered and threatened species, carbon sequestration, and recreation, to name a few. Given that there are 765 million acres of forestland in the United States, almost 60% of which are privately owned,...
During the U.S. military interventions in Nicaragua, the Dominican
Republic, and Haiti between 1915 and 1934, Washington equipped
members of the its armed forces with civil and political powers that
represented a radical departure from the North American military tradition.
This abandonment of tradition decisively contributed to both the
disappointments...
