Mr. Jonathan Hill received his BSEE from Northeastern University in Boston, MA. in 1988 and received his MSEE from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in Worcester, MA in 1996. He is currently an instructor and is also a full-time Ph.D. candidate in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at WPI. The majority of his current research focuses on GPS receiver design. He was previously...

The effect of using preheated whey protein isolate (WPI) to replace part of the poultry meat proteins in batters formulated with different salt levels was studied. Substitution with 2% preheated whey proteins followed by cold set gelation (16 h at 1 C) significantly (P < 0.05) improved binding and water holding capacity of the raw batters. In the cooked state, WPI substitution reduced cook loss...

Byproduct utilization is an important consideration in the development of sustainable processes. Whey protein isolate (WPI), a byproduct of the cheese industry, and gelatin, a byproduct of the leather industry, were reacted individually and in blends with microbial transglutaminase (mTGase) at pH 7.5 and 45 degrees C. When a WPI (10% w/w) solution was treated with mTGase (10 U/g) under reducing...

This paper presents a method for constructing a large-scale Person Ontology with category hierarchy from Wikipedia. We first extract Wikipedia category labels which represent person (hereafter, Wikipedia Person Category, WPC) by using a machine learning classifier. We then construct a WPC hierarchy by detecting is-a relations in the Wikipedia category network. We then extract the titles of Wiki...

Abstract No highly efficacious anti-malaria vaccine exists, but whole parasite immunization (WPI)where hosts receive live attenuated Plasmodium parasites that arrest in the liver is only strategy confers complete protection against future infection. Liver-resident memory CD8 T cells (TRM)that express chemokine receptor, CXCR3, are essential for WPI-induced protection. Yet, whether CXCR3-depende...

As was first stressed by the classical economists Adam Smith and David Ricardo, international trade plays a crucial role in growth process. The paper aims to analyze influence of foreign on economic performance wood processing industry (WPI) Czechia Slovakia. multivariate regression method (MLR), assumption tests for MLR models, Granger causality test were applied identify association between p...

This study was aimed to the effect of adding transglutaminase (TGase) on mechanical and reservation properties edible films manufactured from soybean meal protein isolate (SPI) whey isolate(WPI). The results showed an improvement in with increase WPI ratios. Thickness SPI amounted 0.097 mm decreased 0.096 for WPI: at a ratio 2:1, when TGase added 0.075 mm. While tensile strength increased 7.64 ...

Glycation between proteins and sugars via the Maillard reaction has been shown to improve heat stability of proteins. In this study, inulin, a healthy dietary fiber, was glycated with whey protein isolate (WPI), effects conditions were investigated. Conjugates prepared by freeze-drying mixed WPI inulin solutions at 1:1 6:1 WPI-to-inulin weight ratios followed dry heating 70, 75, or 80 °C for 12...

With a homogenization-evaporation method, β-carotene (BC) loaded nanoparticles were prepared with different ratios of food-grade sodium caseinate (SC), whey protein isolate (WPI), or soy protein isolate (SPI) to BC and evaluated for their physiochemical stability, in vitro cytotoxicity, and cellular uptake by Caco-2 cells. The particle diameters of the BC loaded nanoparticles with 0.75% SC or 1...
