THE ADVENT OF ULTRAFILTRATION PROCESSES HAS ALLOWED THE CHEESE INDUSTRY TO PRODUCE HIGH-QUALITY, WHEY-PROTEIN CONCENTRATES FOR USE AS FOOD INGREDIENTS. AT THE SAME TIME,HOWEVER, MORE THAN TWO-THIRDS OF THE WHEY VOLUME IS COLLECTED AS ESSENTIALLY UNUSABLE WHEY PERMEATE CONTAINING 5% LACTOSE AND ACCOMPANYING SALTS. ABOUT 20% BY VOLUME OF THE WHEY REMAINS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CHEESE CURD AND IS EXPELL ...

THIS STUDY DESCRIBES THE RESEARCH CONDUCTED TO IDENTIFY THE VARIETY OF MOLD OR YEAST WHICH DEGRADES LEACHATE FROM HAZARDOUS WASTE LANDFILLS IN A COMPLETELY-MIXED, AEROBIC REACTOR. THE RESEARCH ALSO EXAMINES ALTERNATIVE PRETREATMENT STEPS WHICH MAY BE NECESSARY TO OVERCOME THE LIMITATIONS IN BIOLOGICAL DEGRADATION DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF TOXIC SUBSTANCES OR NUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES. FURTHER, THE RESEAR ...

MOST POISONOUS GASES CAN REACT WITH PROPERLY SELECTED REAGENTS TO FORM COLORFUL COMPOUNDS. THE CHANGE IN COLOR CAN BE USED FOR QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DETERMINATION OF THE POISONOUS GAS IN AIR IF THE OPTICAL DENSITY OF THE COLORED COMPOUND IS MEASURED. IN THE PROPOSED WORK, A SOLID WAFER WILL BE IMPREGNATED WITH COMPOUNDS THAT CHANGE THEIR COLOR FROM COLORLESS TO RED WHEN THEY REACT WITH NOX. ...

SURFACE DEVELOPMENT HAS LED, IN SOME CASES, TO REDUCING THE QUALITY OF GROUND-WATER. IN AN EFFORT TO MORE FULLY UNDERSTAND THE INTERACTIONS INVOLVED AND TO BETTER PREDICT HARMFUL SURFACE DEVELOPMENT RESULTS, C.A.D.D. CORP. PLANS TO ACCUMULATE AND VERIFY INFORMATION CONCERNING TYPES OF LAND USE, POPULATION, DISTRIBUTION, WASTE DISPOSAL AND RELATED INFORMATION FOR THE AREA. INFORMATION WILL BE OBTAI ...

INVESTIGATE THE FEASIBILITY OF DESIGNING CIRCUITS TO ENABLE BETTER SECURE TRANSMISSION OF DATA. DEVELOP SPECIFIC APPROACHES FOR ACHIEVING SUCH DESIGN AND DETERMINE CORRESPONDING CHARACTERISTICS IN TERMS OF ADDITIONAL CIRCUITRY, RELIABILITY OF OPERATION, POSSIBILITY OF DETECTION, POSSIBILITY OF DISABLING OR COUNTERACTING, ACCIDENTAL SWITCHING, AND EASE OF INCORPORATION INTO EXISTING DESIGNS.

DESIGN OF EFFECTIVE MAN-MACHINE INTERFACES (MMI) IS CRITICAL TO THE OPERATIONAL EFECTIVENESS OF INTERACTIVE COMPUTER SYSTEMS. UNFORTUNATELY, MMI DESIGN FLAWS USUALLY ARE NOT UNCOVERED UNTIL LATE IN THE IMPLEMENTATION PHASE WHEN THEIR CORRECTION IS VERY EXPENSIVE OR IMPOSSIBLE. RAPID PROTOTYPING TOOLS HAVE BEEN USE TO ALLEVIATE THESE PROBLEMS BY ALLOWING MMI DESIGNS TO BECOME VISIBLE AND MODIFIABLE ...

COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATES (CTA) PROPOSES TO INVESTIGATE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR A PROFESSIONAL WORKSTATION TO BE USED BY ENGINEERS AT WRIGHT-PATTERSON, TO DEFINE ALTERNATIVES FOR MIGRATION OF MICRO COMPUTERS INTO PROFESSIONAL WORKSTATIONS, AND TO RECOMMEND A PLAN FOR IMPLEMENTING THIS MIGRATION. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED WILL INCLUDE THE INTEGRATION OF OFFTHE-SHELF HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE AS WELL AS ...

TAPE RECORDERS PRESENTLY USED AS SPACEBORNE MASS STORAGE DEVICES HAVE A HISTORY OF BEING UNRELIABLE AND REQUIRE EXTENSIVE AND COSTLY GROUND TESTING TO PROVIDE THE CONFIDENCE NECESSARY TO PASS LAUNCH READINESS. EVEN THEN THEY DO NOT ALWAYS ADEQUATELY PERFORM THEIR FUNCTION ON ORBIT. THE OBJECTIE OF THIS PHASE I PROGRAM IS TO DEVELOP A BUBBLE MEMORY MODULE WHICH CAN BE USED AS A BUILDING BLOCKFOR TH ...

HEAD-UP DISPLAYS (HUDS) AE OPTICAL DISPLAYS WHICH PRESENT FLIGHT INFORMATION IN THE PILOTS FORWARD VIEW. THESE DISPLAYS ARE OUTGROWTHS OF REFLECTING GUN OR BOMBSIGHTS. ALTHOUGH THEY WERE DESIGNED FOR WEAPON DELIVERY, PILOTS FIND THEM QUITE USEFUL AS PRIMARY FLIGHT REFERENCES. RECENT SURVEYS, HOWEVER, REVEAL CERTAIN PROBLEMS. BASED ON REACTIONS, PRESENT DAY HUD SPECIFICATIONS DO AN INADEQUATE JOB O ...

AN INVESTIGATION IS PROPOSED THAT WILL EXAMINE THE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE GROWTH OF HIGH QUALITY A1GAAS/GAAS SUPERLATTICS IN METALORGANIC EPITAXIAL REACTORS. THE TECHNICAL APPROACH WILL BE TO SELECT THE MOST PROMISING ADVANCES MADE IN THIS FIELD AND INTEGRATE THEM INTO A SINGLE ADVANCED DESIGN METALORGANIC REACTOR FOR LARGE SCALE PRODUCTION OF GAAS, A1GAAS AND THE ASSOCIATED MULTILAYER STRUC ...
