Calcium-enhanced protein recovered from black bullhead catfish was used to develop gels containing increasing amounts of potato starch (0-20 g/kg protein paste) and the effects of starch on functional, textural, and color properties were tested. Energy required to unfold protein groups was greater with the addition of 5 g starch/kg protein paste. Gels containing starch were harder, chewier, and...

Background and aim: Dental caries is one of the most common childhood diseases worldwide. The implementation of strategies that facilitate the prevention of early dental caries and interrupt its progression has been recently advocated. It has been reported that casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) derived from casein reduces tooth demineralization and enhances the reminer...

We consider the problem of determining the maximum number of moves required to sort a permutation of [n] using cut-and-paste operations, in which a segment is cut out and then pasted into the remaining string, possibly reversed. We give short proofs that every permutation of [n] can be transformed to the identity in at most ⌊2n/3⌋ such moves and that some permutations require at least ⌊n/2⌋ moves.

We describe the FeynEdit tool for drawing Feynman diagrams. Input and output is done using the L A T E X macros of FeynArts, which also implies that diagrams drawn by FeynArts can be edited with FeynEdit. The L A T E X code can be conveniently transferred using copy-and-paste.

A Mathematica Notebook is presented which allows for the transfer or any kind of polynomial expression to Matlab. The output is formatted in such a way that Matlab routines such as “Root” can be readily implemented. Once the Notebook has been executed, only one copy-paste operation in necessary.

We employ cut and paste contact topological techniques to classify some tight contact structures on the closed, oriented genus-2 surface times the interval. A boundary condition is specified so that the Euler class of the of the contact structure vanishes when evaluated on each boundary component. We prove that there exists a unique, non-product tight contact structure in this case. AMS Classif...

Anti-plagiarism tools are currently used in a large number of institutions to perform an initial assessment of students’ essays, enabling an automated approach to the identification of plagiarised work. This paper presents evidence that students are moving from “copy and paste” plagiarism, which can be detected by anti-plagiarism software, to more complex forms of plagiarism using a variety of ...

Stencil printing remains the technology route of choice for flip chip bumping because of its economical advantages over traditionally costly evaporation and electroplating processes. This paper provides the first research results on stencil printing of 80 μm and 60 μm pitch peripheral array configurations with Type 7 Sn63/Pb37 solder paste. In specific, the paste particle size ranges from 2 μm ...

Code clone is a code fragment that has identical or similar fragments to it in the source code. Many code clone detection techniques and tools have been proposed. However, source code derived by copy-and-paste may be disguised by obfuscation because these techniques detect code clone using only static information such as source code or binary. Therefore, we propose a new clone detection techniq...
