Irradiation and storage increased lipid oxidation of normal and pale-soft-exudative (PSE) muscles, whereas dark-firm-dry (DFD) muscle was very stable and resistant to oxidative changes. Irradiation increased redness regardless of pork-quality type, and the increases were proportional to irradiation dose. Irradiation increased the production of sulfur-containing volatiles, but not lipid oxidatio...

In Drosophila, the Deformed (Dfd) and Sex combs reduced (Scr) genes determined the developmental pathways followed by the most anterior metameric units. Using in situ hybridization, we have monitored the spatial distributions of transcripts from these two genes. Dfd RNA accumulates in parasegments 0 and 1; Scr RNA accumulation shows a dynamic pattern spanning parasegments 2 and 3. The expressio...

Results of high-order direct numerical simulations are summarized for the evolution of crossflow disturbances in incompressible wing-generic boundary-layers with suction at the wall. The concept of smart suction, an adapted combination of the upstream-flow-deformation (UFD) technique and suction, is presented for laminar flow control. In the UFD technique, relatively tightly spaced, useful cros...

OBJECTIVE To review our favorable experience with maxillofacial disassembly for exposure and resection of tumors of the skull base. PATIENTS AND METHODS This is a retrospective review of 31 patients from 1997 to 2005 treated by maxillofacial disassembly and includes 22 patients with midface disassembly and 9 patients with mandible with or without midface disassembly. RESULTS Follow-up range...

In order to support legacy migration to the service-oriented architecture (SOA), this paper presents a pragmatic method that derives candidates of services from procedural programs. In the SOA, every service is supposed to be a process (procedure) with (1) open interface, (2) self-containedness, and (3) coarse granularity for business. Such services are identified from the source code and its d...

INTRODUCTION Many paradigms for system analysis and design have been proposed over the years. Early approaches have advocated the functional approach. Common methodologies that support this approach are Structured System Analysis (SSA) and Structured System Design (SSD) (DeMarco, 1978; Yourdon & Constantine, 1979). SSA is based on the use of data flow diagrams (DFD), which define the functions ...
