Li X.Y., Li Z.-X., Lin H., Samee H. (2011): Effect of power ultrasound on the immunoactivity and texture changes of shrimp (Penaeus vannamei). Czech J. Food Sci., 29: 508–514. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of power ultrasound on the allergenicity and texture properties of shrimp (Penaeus vannamei). For this purpose, raw and boiled shrimps were treated with power ultrasound (30...

We describe a pocket-sized ultrasound driver with an ultralow-output impedance amplifier circuit (less than 0.05 ohms) that can transfer more than 99% of the voltage from a power supply to the ultrasound transducer with minimal reflections. The device produces high-power acoustical energy waves while operating at lower voltages than conventional ultrasound driving systems because energy losses ...

Due to the increased use of high intensity ultrasonic devices, there is now a greater risk of worker exposure to ultrasonic radiation than there was in the past. Exposure to high power ultrasound may produce adverse biological effects. High power ultrasound, characterized by high intensity outputs at frequencies of 20-100 kHz, has a wide range of applications throughout industry. Future applica...

Objective: To assess the value of adding three-dimensional (3D) power Doppler (as a diagnostic technique) to grayscale in the prenatal diagnosis of placenta accreta. Material and Methods: One hundred pregnant women with persistent placenta previatotalis (after 28 weeks' gestation) were prospectively enrolled into this study. Gray-scale transabdominal ultrasound was performed to detect loss of t...

The aim of this experimental trial was to study the effect of ultrasound application on the lipolysis in adipose tissue. Rats were administered to pentobarbital (Nembutal) anesthesia and their abdomens were shaved. Rat abdomen was subjected to 24 kHz-1 MHz ultrasound for 10 min to investigate frequency and power-intensity dependency for fat mobilization. Blood was taken from the tail vein to es...

The frequency dependence of the ultrasound signal backscattered by blood in shear flow was studied using a simulation model. The ultrasound backscattered signal was computed with a linear model that considers the characteristics of the ultrasound system and tissue acoustic properties. The tissue scattering properties were related to the position and shape of the red blood cells (RBCs). A 2D mic...

kishk is one of the important fermented dairy products in iran that is suitable for contamination of pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms. the effect of power ultrasound waves (130 w, 20 khz) was investigated on staphylocuccos areus and escherichia coli in liqud kashk. the results of variance analysis indicated that population of these microorganisms significantly (p0/05).

Application of power ultrasound to Food freezing is a relatively new subject, cavitations is the most significant power which can not only lead to the production of gas bubbles in ice ream but also the occurrence of micro streaming, also it can promote ice nucleation to accelerate the heat and mass transfer process accompanying the freeze process. In this work ice cream freezing process time af...

background : phacoemulsification is one of the best surgical treatments for the cataract. secondary to the technicaladvances in estimating the intraocular lens (iol) power, the refractive errors, one of the most important surgical complications after surgery, is now reduced. currently, two methods of biometry are used to calculate the iol power, ultrasound biometry and optical biometry. both me...
