High hydrostatic pressure (HHP), a non-thermal technology, which typically uses water as a pressure transfer medium, is characterized by a minimal impact on food characteristics (sensory, nutritional, and functional). Today, this technology, present in many food companies, can effectively inactivate bacterial cells and many enzymes. All this makes HHP very attractive, with very good acceptance ...

High-technology projects are known as tools that help achieving productive forces through scientific and technological knowledge. These knowledge-based projects are associated with high levels of risks and returns. The process of high-technology project and project portfolio selection has technical complexities and uncertainties. This paper presents a novel two-parted method of high-technology ...

This exploratory research compares how high technology firms define competitive advantage and use performance management strategies to gain a competitive advantage. The eight high technology firms selected for a larger research study are located in the Okanagan Valley region of British Columbia Canada and each was prequalified as a small or medium-sized enterprise – two with 10 to 19 employees,...

RFID technology emerged some time back and was not used that much because of lack of standardization and high costs. Latest technologies have brought costs down and standards are being developed. Today RFID is mostly used as a medium for numerous tasks including managing supply chains, tracking livestock, preventing counterfeiting, controlling building access, and supporting automated checkout....

background:the premature termination of high producer clones, which will be killed due to cell proliferation and proteins production antagonism, is one of the basic drawback in recombinant proteins technology. furtheremore, it is supposed some toxic proteins like interferon which we intended to clone and express, inhibit host cells’ proliferation. so, it is necessary to tightly control ifn-γ pr...

The exopolysaccharide (EPS)-producing cultures such as Lactobacillus rhamnosus RW-9595M present a challenge for the culture producers because the high viscosity of the fermented growth medium makes it difficult to recover the cells by centrifugation or filtration. This study examined four approaches to reduce viscosity of the medium while producing high cell densities: incubation temperature, e...

The choice of natural language technology appropriate for a given language is greatly impacted by density (availability of digitally stored material). More than half of the world speaks medium density languages, yet many of the methods appropriate for high or low density languages yield suboptimal results when applied to the medium density case. In this paper we describe a general methodology f...

background: hyperglycemia is one of the important featurs of diabetes. in cell culture studies different methods are used to mimic the hyperglycemia condition. in this study we investigate response of human liver cancer cell line (hepg2) to high insulin, high glucose, and high insulin/ high glucose medium exposure. methods: hepg2 cells were settled in dmem+0.1% fbs or dmem free-serum medium wit...
