Size measuring techniques as tool to monitor pea proteins intramolecular crosslinking by transglutaminase treatment
2015
International audience; In this work, techniques for monitoring the intramolecular transglutaminase cross-links of pea proteins, based on protein size determination, were developed. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis profiles of transglutaminase-treated low concentration (0.01% w/w) pea albumin samples, compared to the untreated one (control), showed a higher electrophoretic migration of the major albumin fraction band (26 kDa), reflecting a decrease in protein size. This protein size decrease was confirmed, after DEAE column purification, by dynamic light scattering (DLS) where the hydrodynamic radius of treated samples appears to be reduced compared to the control o…
Wiper Tools in Turning Finishing of Quenched Steel
2005
In the last years, the research on metal machining has been focused on the development of tools that can support an increment of the cutting parameters instead of the increment of tool life; this strategy is focused to obtain a relevant productivity increment without getting worse the final product quality. The new design of the tool corner radius has allowed preserving the same product quality due to the “wiper effect” generated during the cut. The employ of such re-designed tools can allow substantial productivity improvements and, by employing the same feedrate, it is possible to achieve excellent surface finish and eliminate the grinding operation. With the aim to verify the possibility…
<title>Modeling of eddy current sensors</title>
2001
In this paper two models of eddy current sensor have been presented. They are base don a one- and multi-turn coil model. The results of computer simulations present a relation of eddy current density on nonferromagnetic conducting materials versus some parameters viz: a coil radius, frequency of excitation current and conductivity of material.© (2001) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.

Discussion of “Analysis of Geometrical Relationships and Friction Losses in Small-Diameter Lay-Flat Polyethylene Pipes” by Giuseppe Provenzano, Vince…
2016
For a lay-flat drip line with an inner nominal diameter dn = 16 mm, characterized by three different pipe wall thicknesses, WT, 6, 8 and 10 mil, the Authors of the original paper very accurately investigated the geometrical expansion of the cross-sectional diameter as a function of different pressure head values, ranging in between 0.84-17.55 m. Results obtained by the Authors, for pressure heads not exceeding a threshold pressure value, showed significant d variations, in a very narrow range of pressure heads, which however is seldom considered in practice (less than 3 m). The Authors experimentally evaluated a modified Blasius’ law friction coefficient, c, equal to 0.285, corresponding to…
The Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition Process in Wilms Tumor
2011
Background Until now, only a few mouse-transplanted human tumors or experimental Wilms tumor (WT) cell lines have been described. The aim of this study was to show the biological behavior, including histology, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and molecular biology, of a WT including the original tumor and metastasis transferred into nude mice and followed for successive generations in xenografts. Methods A WT metastasis was xenotransplanted into nude mice and the mice was monitored for 7 passages over a period of 29 months; the original neoplasm was comparatively studied. The morphology was evaluated by optical and electron microscopy. The protein expression was analyzed by immunohistochemistry …
On the equation of state for thermal polymer solutions and melts with attractive interaction
1996
We perform Monte Carlo simulations of a lattice model for polymer melts, i. e., the bond fluctuation model in three dimensions. By using an energy parameter that prefers relatively long bonds, the model exhibits a glass transition at low temperatures, in close qualitative similarity to experiment. We modify this model by adding an attractive interaction of variable strength. We demonstrate that a small interaction strength has only a very small effect on the static properties of the melt. For a fixed strength of the potential, the chemical potential is measured by a modified particle-insertion method over a large range of temperatures and densities. The osmotic pressure is obtained by therm…
Spontaneous emission of a sodium Rydberg atom close to an optical nanofibre
2019
International audience; We report on numerical calculations of the spontaneous emission rate of a Rydberg-excited sodium atom in the vicinity of an optical nanobre. In particular, we study how this rate varies with the distance of the atom to the bre, the bre's radius, the symmetry s or p of the Rydberg state as well as its principal quantum number. We nd that a fraction of the spontaneously emitted light can be captured and guided along the bre. This suggests that such a setup could be used for networking atomic ensembles, manipulated in a collective way due to the Rydberg blockade phenomenon.
Using the transit of Venus to probe the upper planetary atmosphere
2015
The atmosphere of a transiting planet shields the stellar radiation providing us with a powerful method to estimate its size and density. In particular, because of their high ionization energy, atoms with high atomic number (Z) absorb short-wavelength radiation in the upper atmosphere, undetectable with observations in visible light. One implication is that the planet should appear larger during a primary transit observed in high energy bands than in the optical band. The last Venus transit in 2012 offered a unique opportunity to study this effect. The transit has been monitored by solar space observations from Hinode and Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). We measure the radius of Venus duri…
Density Fluctuation in Amorphous Polymers by Small Angle X-Ray Scattering
1984
Density fluctuations in an infinite volume can be obtained by extrapolating the scattering intensity to the zero scattering angle, while those in a finite volume having a radius of several tens of Angstrom can be obtained from intensities at non-zero scattering angles. Small angle X-ray scattering intensities for condensed phases were approximated by I(s)=I(0)exp(As2). This s dependence of the intensity arises from the repulsive interaction between two particles. Since the density fluctuations in the above two types of volume (infinite and finite) were nearly the same in magnitude and temperature dependence for an amorphous polymer (PMMA), it was concluded that no density fluctuations due t…
