Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) and oligosaccharides in general have received a lot of attention recently, mainly due to their many beneficial health effects and wide applications as prebiotic food. Enzyme immobilization on cotton cloth activated with tosyl chloride provides many advantages, including high GOS yield, high reactor productivity, improved thermal stability, and good long-term operatin ...

This proposal addresses the recent EPA ruling, published in the Federal Register (January 22, 2001), to lower the As levels in drinking waters from the current Maximum Contaminants levels (MCL) of 50 ppb to 10 ppb. Furthermore, it has reported that 2,300 groundwater systems in small communities ranging from 25 to 500 (which make up 67% of the groundwater systems) will be out of compliance; whereas ...

In recent years there has been considerable interest in using natural plant fibers as reinforcements for plastics. The motivation includes cost, performance-enhancement, and weight-reduction. High- performance, bast fibers such as kenaf, and flax could potentially substitute glass or carbon fibers as reinforcements for plastics. The success of these short fibers as reinforcements in plastics depen ...

The basic premise being pursued in this proposal is whether or not small aquaculture producers can effectively retail their product directly to the end consumer. We are proposing a series of research steps to lead towards the development of the capability to direct retail market from an indoor fish farm. We are focusing on direct sales to restaurants using UPS Specific Day Delivery System (can nex ...

In 1980, USDA weed scientist Roger D. Hagin identified quackgrass as a potent slug deterrent in no - till corn. Subsequently, he and coworkers identified the active ingredient as 6-hydroxy 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-B- carboline-3-carboxylic acid (6-HT C-3COOH), demonstrating very significant toxicity (LD50 of 5 ¿g per gram). The compound exhibits little or no mammalian toxicity and no effect on one spec ...

The incandescent lamps used in the green threshold lamps that form a line on the front end of an airport runway, have relatively short lives and require constant maintenance. The green filters used in front of the lamps transmit only about 20% of the light. Green light emitting diodes (LEDs) have been improved recently and are reaching brightness levels making it possible to use them in traffic ...
