Cava (Spanish sparkling wine) is one of the most important quality sparkling wines in Europe. It is produced by the traditional method in which a base wine is re-fermented and aged in the same bottle that reaches the consumer. The special ageing in contact with lees gives the cava a particular bouquet with toasty, sweet or lactic notes. These nuances could be related with the chemical compositi...

ScRh3Bx(x=0.0-1.0) has been investigated recently as an ultrahard material. Crystal structure refinements and electron density analyses of this material were carried out by synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction. The powder diffraction data were collected using Multi-Detector System powder diffractometer at the BL-4B2 experimental station of the Photon Factory. The crystal structure refinements w...

Different attempts to crystallise compound 1,7dioxaspiro[4.4]nonane, led to very small and irregular crystals which were not good enough to be analysed by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique. Moreover, the data collected with powder diffraction technique, was very poor to work with conventional direct methods for the structure solution. The powder pattern was indexed using the progra...

The decreasing cost of performing genome-wide association studies has made genomics widely accessible. However, there is a paucity of guidance for best practice in conducting such analyses. For the results of a study to be valid and replicable, multiple biases must be addressed in the course of data preparation and analysis. In addition, standardizing methods across small, independent studies w...

This paper describes a method for the determination of the four grasping points that are necessary to get a force closure grasp for a planar object considering frictionless contacts. The geometric model of the object is assumed to be unknown. The proposed approach starts from the object boundary obtained from the binary digitalization of an object image, and then uses the dual representation of...

This research started on May, 1999 at the committee of turbulent combustion in the Open and Integrated Research Program (OIRP), The Science and Technology Agency (STA). The purpose of the research is to pursue a possibility on smart control of turbulent combustion and to achieve the improvement of combustion efficiency, that on environment and so on. The present feasibility study shows the foll...
