Green coconut water is traditionally consumed fresh, directed from the fruit at production regions. In order to allow its consumption in other regions, its industrialization demands a conservation process able to maintain its physic-chemical and sensory characteristics. Pasteurization is the main technique used for beverage preservation and microbiological safety. On the other side, membrane te...

Th e aim of this study was to analyze the chemical composition of apple purees of four diff erent apple varieties: ‘Golden Delicious’, ‘Idared’, ‘Jonagold’ and ‘Cripps Pink’, in the fresh state (FP) and aft er thermal treatment by process of pasteurization with added green (PG) or white stevia powder (PW) derived from the leaves of the stevia plant. Also, to determine whether there is a signifi...

47 chapter 7 were printed out of order. While this flaw may only be a careless oversight, it adds to the reader's confusion, which is already significant. In conclusion, Engelmeier and O'Connell, the editors of this book, define dilated cardiomyopathy as distinct from ischemic cardiac disease. They claim that its incidence is increasing, and that it is quite probably linked to myocarditis. They...

New research from California confirms the safety of pasteurized mother’s milk for HIV-exposed babies (Israel-Ballard, 2005). Two methods of heat-treatment, known as Flash-Heating and Pretoria Pasteurization, were compared to assess their impact on HIV and antimicrobial properties of breast milk, as well as on nutrient content.Milk samples were spiked with clade C HIV-1 (the sub-type found in ar...

We examine nickel silicide as a viable ohmic contact metallization for low-temperature, low-magnetic-field transport measurements of atomic-scale devices in silicon. In particular, we compare a nickel silicide metallization with aluminium, a common ohmic contact for silicon devices. Nickel silicide can be formed at the low temperatures (<400°C) required for maintaining atomic precision placemen...

We study current-induced domain-wall motion in a narrow ferromagnetic wire. We propose a way to move domain walls with a resonant time-dependent current which dramatically decreases the Ohmic losses in the wire and allows driving of the domain wall with higher speed without burning the wire. For any domain-wall velocity we find the time dependence of the current needed to minimize the Ohmic los...

This paper presents a novel design of single-pole four-throw (SP4T) RF-MEMS switch employing both capacitive and ohmic switches. It is designed on high-resistivity silicon substrate and has a compact area of 1.06 mm(2). The series or ohmic switches have been designed to provide low insertion loss with good ohmic contact. The pull-in voltage for ohmic switches is calculated to be 7.19 V. Shunt o...

The problem of the late accretion phase of the evolution of an axisymmetric, isothermal magnetic disk surrounding a forming star has been formulated in a companion paper. The “central sink approximation” is used to circumvent the problem of describing the evolution inside the opaque central region for densities greater than 10 cm and radii smaller than a few AUs. Only the electrons are assumed ...
