Microwave sterilization is a novel potential sterilization technology to improve food quality.An industrial microwave sterilization system was used to sterilize imitation crab meat under thermal processing intensity F0 = 1, 2, 3.The characteristics of the microwave process, such as heating rate, processing time, and C100, were calculated.In additio
Finite-element-method (FEM) model generation of time-resolved 3D echocardiographic geometry data for mitral-valve volumetry
Abstract Introduction Mitral Valve (MV) 3D structural data can be easily obtained using standard transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) devices but quantitative pre- and intraoperative volume analysis of the MV is presently not feasible in the cardiac operation room (OR).Finite element method (FEM) modelling is necessary to carry out precise and in
Power-aware scheduling of data-flow hardware circuits with symbolic control
We devise a tool-supported framework for achieving power-efficiency of data-flowhardware circuits.Our approach CACAY OIL relies on formal control techniques, where the goal is to compute a strategy that can be used to drive a given model so that it satisfies a set of control objectives.More specifically, we give an algorithm that derives abstract b
Interaction between sphingosine and cholesteryl sulfate in epidermal lipids.
Free sphingosine, a material with multiple and potent biological activities, is known to occur in high concentration in mammalian epidermis.In the present study, thin-layer chromatography showed that in lipid extracts of human and pig stratum corneum, sphingosine forms a relatively stable compound with endogenous cholesteryl Dome Cap sulfate.NMR sp
