We report on the destruction pathways and byproduct formation of dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) in conditions typical of incinerator postflame regions (injection temperature 5 900–1200 K; equivalence ratio 5 0.6, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1; residence time 5 0.28–0.35 s). This is the first study to independently vary equivalence ratio and temperature, and evaluate their impacts on byproduct yield and destruction e...

The objective of this study was to chemically characterize both channel and hybrid catfish parts including heads, frames, viscera, skin, and fillet trimming mince. Triplicate samples of channel and hybrid catfish byproduct parts were obtained from a large commercial catfish processor and analyzed for percent moisture, lipid, protein, ash, and amino acid and fatty acid profiles were determined. ...

We classify generic systems of polynomial equations with a single solution, or, equivalently, collections of lattice polytopes of minimal positive mixed volume. As a byproduct, this classification provides an algorithm to evaluate the single solution of such a system.
