the present study was conducted to investigate the effects of ensiling pistachio by-product (pbp) on nutrient value, some physical and chemical parameters. fresh pbp was ensiled into a trench silo for three months and simultaneously amount of pbp was dried in front of the sun. chemical composition, buffering capacity, water holding capacity, protein fractionation according to cornell net carboh...

For positive constants c and d, the coefficients t and b will always assume values between 0 and 1. Such a buffering behavior, which is also characteristic of H+ buffering in pure water (Buffering II Supplement 2), was classified as “noninverting moderation” (Buffering I). The accompanying paper presented a general method to construct communicating vessel-models of noninverting moderation (Buff...

Feedback regulation in biochemical systems is fundamental to homeostasis, with failure causing disease or death. Recent work has found that cooperation between feedback and buffering—the use of reservoirs of molecules to maintain molecular concentrations—is often critical for biochemical regulation, and that buffering can act as a derivative or lead controller. However, buffering differs from d...

A Video-on-Demand (VOD) system delivers videos on demand over an installed network. Due to the large size of digitized videos, expensive video servers with high I/O capability are needed in order to provide VoD services in metropolitan areas. In addition, there is a great need for efficient networking distribution/interaction schemes so that the video servers can serve as many clients as possib...

Previous studies have implicated extracellular carbonic anhydrases (CAs) in buffering the alkaline pH shifts that accompany neuronal activity in the rat and mouse hippocampus. CAs IV and XIV both have been proposed to mediate this extracellular buffering. To examine the relative importance of these two isozymes in this and other physiological functions attributed to extracellular CAs, we produc...

[1] Successful geologic sequestration of carbon in deep saline aquifers requires accurate predictive models of rock-brine-CO2 interaction. Often overlooked in siliciclastichosted saline reservoirs is the carbonate buffering of the groundwater. Carbonate minerals are ubiquitous, even in siliciclastic host rocks, resulting in some carbonate buffering. Geochemical modeling of rock-brine-CO2 system...
