• Purification and Antioxidant Activities of Soybean IsoflavonesPurification and Antioxidant Activities of Soybean Isoflavones

    enistein had much higher cytotoxicity than daidzein to SVEC4-10 cells. In order to compare the antioxidant activities of genistein and daidzein at the same level, the concentration of 1 µM was selected. However, contrary to what had been expected, no significant difference was found between the cell viability of control group and that of ex...

  • Fundamental characterization of louisiana hma mixtures for the 2002 mechanistic-Empirical design guideFundamental characterization of louisiana hma mixtures for the 2002 mechanistic-Empirical design guide

    The mixtures were grouped in the order of their resistance to rutting, according to each parameter. Mixtures with grouping “A” indicate superior mix and grouping higher than “A” indicates inferior mix. Some of the mixtures which are statistically indifferent fall in the same group. In some cases when mixtures fall into more than one categor...

  • Purification of lysozyme from shell liquor of eastern oysters (crassostrea virginica) and its use in antimicrobial films to preserve smoked fishPurification of lysozyme from shell liquor of eastern oysters (crassostrea virginica) and its use in antimicrobial films to preserve smoked fish

    The present study aimed at purifying lysozymefrom oyster shell liquor, and evaluating its use against major foodborne pathogens, and determining the feasibility of using oyster lysozyme in antimicrobial films to enhance the preservation of smoked salmon. Shell liquor lysozyme was purified using a series of ion exchange chromatographies. The...

  • Airlift assisted wastewater treatmentAirlift assisted wastewater treatment

    Liquid low pressure water flowsystems can be analyzed relatively efficiently and cost effectively through the use of pitot tube measurement if one recognizes a few inherent limitations. These limitations can be mitigated with the following techniques: ™ Direct sunlight on tubes for extended periods induces algal growth within ¾ Mitigated by...

  • Charge trapping characterization methodology for the evaluation of hafnium-Based gate dielectric film systemsCharge trapping characterization methodology for the evaluation of hafnium-Based gate dielectric film systems

    Electron trapping data obtained with the pulsed Id-Vgmeasurements suggests that the trapping occurs mostly in the bulk of the high-κfilmrather than only atthe interface ofthe high-κdielectric and interfacial oxide which leads to less bulk trapping in physically thinner high-κgate stacks. Carrier mobility of thinner hybrid stacks corrected for...

  • Hydrodynamic modeling of a hypothetical river diversion near empire, louisianaHydrodynamic modeling of a hypothetical river diversion near empire, louisiana

    In this thesis an attempt was made to build two hydrodynamic models with as much similarity as practicallypossible using two different popular finite element codes. Although for the most part the two modelsshow similar sensitivities to the model parameters tested here, differences in the models have led to some significant differences in th...

  • Small and large strain monitoring of unsaturated soil behavior by means of multiaxial testing and shear wave propagationSmall and large strain monitoring of unsaturated soil behavior by means of multiaxial testing and shear wave propagation

    Whenever possible, the use of parallel bender elements should be preferred over the series type to reduce the distortion produced by cross-taking and near field effects on the received traces. Their higher cost is compensated with the save in time that it takes to prepare the series bender elements to diminish such effects. Another alternat...

    Since this is a first attempt to some of the concepts. This study is very basic and needs to be extended to more complicated and realistic cases. For example, agent’s utility function can be change to risk-averse case,or the principal can be social planner (government entity) instead of point source ofpolluter. Also, target level and abatemen...
