Storage Proteins Characterization of A Group of New Bulgarian High Breadmaking Quality Wheat Lines

Breadmaking quality characterization of wheat genotypes is a widely used approach to evaluate breeding material. Biochemical data on storage proteins describe their nutritive value, and to some extent they are related to their baking performance. A group of recently created high bread quality wheat cultivars and lines Shabla, 2571-65-4, 2579-30, 12-11-19, 4-P2-3, 7-P2-6,14-P2-4,18-P2-4, 24-F-8, Pliska, Slavyanka 196 and Sadovo 1 is the subject of this study.The total protein content of 70% flour, amino-acid composition, Osborn extraction fractions and HMW glutenin subunits are investigated. The data received by now show a similar amino acid composition between the genotypes investigated although in many cases the differences are statistically significant concerning some amino acids. The total essential amino acid level in eight of investigated genotypes is lower than that of cultivar Sadovo 1 and correlates negatively to their higher total protein content. Statistically significant total protein content correlates with sedimentation value, wet gluten and loaf volume, globulins correlate with dough stability and farinograph value, gliadins - with wet gluten and loaf volume, while glutenins correlate with sedimentation value, wet gluten, dough stability and farinograph value. HMW glutenin subunits are in a good accordance with sedimentation value.

The Selection and Development of High-quality Echinacea for Industrial Processing

Echinacea is one of the oldest medicinal plants that had been used by the native Indians of North America for bacterial and viral ailments. With the increasing scientific findings about the usefulness of Echinacea in natural immune stimulation of humans, the demand for high-quality echinacea product in natural food markets in the United States and Europe has been growing. However, most of the commercial supply of echinacea originates either from heterogeneous material or wild collections. Trout Lake Farm in Washington State is the leader in production and processing of echinacea. The objective of this investigation was to find and develop high-quality echinacea lines or cultivar for commercial biological production and processing. The variation in morphological traits, ripening period, the root and shoot yields, resistance to diseases and insects, and the content of active substances (cichoric acid, echinacoside, isobutylamides, and essential oil) in E. purpurea was carried out during the 1996 growing season. We found dramatic variations in plant height, color and size of the leaves, flowers and period of flower induction, yield, and the accumulation of the active substances.

GTO PWM Current Source Converter Array For Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage

A novel multi modular GTO current source converter structure is presented to application to superconducting magnetic energy storage system. N_??_N converters are arranged in a array form. The GTO current source converter array with appropriate arrangement of modulation and carrier signals can output large power with high quality line current waveforms. With using of only N transformers, 6N2 pulse number converter performance is obtained. Only low switching of GTO is required since PWM is primarily used as a method to control flow of power instead of reducing harmonics. It is compared with conventional direct paralleled multi modular converter structure. The results of simulation are presented in this paper.

Analysis of intrinsic stress distribution in grains of high quality CVD diamond film by micro-Raman spectroscopy

Micron-scale mapping of intrinsic stress in a free-standing chemical vapor deposition diamond film was performed by analysis of splitting and shift of the Raman diamond line. Stress distribution within individual grains was observed for high quality (line width of 2.8–3.0 cm −1) 600 μm thick free-standing film grown by microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. It has been shown that all the variety of the Raman diamond line shapes observed can be presented by a superposition of two symmetric components with narrow widths. In some cases the two components can be completely resolved in succession by polarization analysis. (110)-Oriented crystals reveal anisotropic stress fluctuations up to 9 GPa of both signs (compressive and tensile). For grain sizes of 100–200 μm high stressed regions of 200–300 μm 2 area located in the vicinity of edges and grain boundaries have been detected. Possible sources of the high stresses of both signs related to defect and impurity distributions within the grain are discussed.

Ian ; Lester, John B. Abstract The calculated flux distribution in the 300-400 nm region only fits the observed distribution closely for both the Sun and Arcturus when the complete ATLAS9 line list is used. However, a good fit to the detailed shape of the observed high-resolution spectrum in the Sun may only be obtained by using a subset of this line list that only includes lines with the highest quality atomic data. Moreover, for Arcturus, even the subset of high-quality lines can only provide a close fit to the observed high-resolution spectrum if we include, ad hoc, an extra amount of continuous absorption opacity. We suggest that the complete ATLAS9 line list contains many lines that either do not exist or have oscillator strengths that are too strong, and that the inclusion of a hitherto undiscovered source of continuous absorption opacity is necessary to fit the violet flux in late-type stars.

Enhanced differential chain coding fortransmission of high quality line graphics

An enhanced differential chain coding (EDCC) scheme is developed for transmission of high-quality line graphics. Experiments showed that, compared to DCC with a resolution of the enhanced graphics adapter (EGA: 640×350 pixels), EDCC with a resolution of 2100×1536 pixels gives a much higher quality with a modest extension in storage and transmission capacity.

By irradiation of fiber and thin foil targets with a high power laser various experimental observations show the excellent performance of this new scheme.

ビールオオムギの麦芽品質を初期世代に選抜する方法の一つとして，穂型および粒の外観を指標とした選抜の可能性を検討した、材料は良質系統である新田二条1号(現:はるな二条)を片親とした3組合せのF3，F4，F5世代である.穂型の指標としては粘着密度を，粒の外観の指標としては穀皮のしわの多少を用いた、穀皮のしわは観察によるパネル判定によって行ったが，パネラー間の順位相関は，初期世代では低かったものの，中期世代ではr=0.6以上の高い値が得られた.粘着密度および穀皮のしわと麦芽品質との間の相関を求めたところ，穀皮のしわは麦芽エキス，エキス収量および評点と相関が高く，特に麦芽エキスと高かった.しかし，粘着密度とは明瞭な関係を持った形質は認められなかった.各形質について世代間相関を求めたところ，粘着密度，穀皮のしわ，麦芽エキスおよび評点はともに相関が比較的高かった.以上のことから，麦芽品質の中で最も重要た形質である麦芽ニギスは，穀皮のしわによって簡便に選抜できることが推定された.この方法は多数の材料を取り扱う初期から中期世代において有効であると考えられる.

What a pity! Wolfgang Dihlmann has written a truly magnificent textbook of bone and joint radiology, for which he should be congratulated. The whole concept of regional disease illustrated by numerous high quality line drawings is most appealing.

Very high quality single and multiple GaAs quantum wells grown by chemical beam epitaxy

High quality GaAs/AlxGa1−xAs single and multiquantum well heterostructures were grown for the first time by chemical beam epitaxy. Studies using low-temperature photoluminescence and excitation spectroscopy techniques show that on the average these samples are similar in quality to similar structures from this laboratory grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and in certain specific characteristics superior to the MBE ones. Furthermore, in some important respects, they are also superior to those grown by organometallic chemical vapor deposition (OMCVD). The very small red shifts observed between emission and n=1 exciton transition E1h with continuous growth show that the emission is dominated by E1h excitons. An interface roughness of δL≲±a/2, where a is the lattice constant, and very square wells (undistorted) even with continuous growth, in contrast to OMCVD are inferred from the excitation spectra. Unusually sharp exciton transition peaks up to E3h including forbidden transitions were obtained in single quantum wells. Such high quality line shape has not been obtained in MBE or OMCVD grown wafers so far. The excitation spectra also show no evidence of band filling due to holes or electrons from the AlxGa1−xAs layers which is a common problem with the OMCVD technique. From this study, it is also shown that the GaAs and AlxGa1−xAs materials are of very high purity.

Laser chemical vapor deposition of gold

High quality gold spots and lines have been deposited from gaseous dimethyl (2, 4-pentanedionato) gold (III) using a focused argon ion laser. Growth rates of 1 μm/s at power densities of 4×105 W/cm2 were obtained. Resistivity, threshold writing power densities, and deposition rates were measured and their relationship to the physical and chemical properties of the gaseous complex are explored.

Some optical designs for the generation of high quality line foci

The use of spherical aberration to generate high quality line foci is discussed with reference to several specific geometries and in a particular application to an X-ray laser scheme. The computed performances of different geometries are discussed and compared, and experimentally verified in two examples.

Production of line pipe in Japan

Abstract Japan is one of the world's leading suppliers of line pipe. In this paper, the authors describe advances in line-pipe manufacturing technology that have been made in Japan during the past decade. Manufacturing methods have been improved, and seamless, electric-resistance, and submerged-arc (both straight and spiral seam) welding processes are all now used. Line-pipe manufacturers have had to adjust to changing requirements for pipe size (outside diameter and wall thickness), strength, toughness, corrosion resistance, and weldability. The performance of line pipe under high pressure, in use in the Arctic and in deep water, and for transporting sour gas has been evaluated. The steelmaking, hot-rolling, and pipe-forming stages of manufacture have all been tailored to the production of high-quality line pipe.

Production experiences with Mo-Nb line pipe steels

Steelmakers are melting high-quality line pipe grades in conventional, high-volume production facilities. The basic oxygen furnace has become the mainstay for high-quality pipe production, but electric furnaces and open-hearth facilities are still utilized. To meet the requirements of high toughness at low temperature, oxygen lancing to reduce carbon content below 0.12% is also commonly employed in the electric and open-hearth furnaces. Hot-metal desulfurization (0.010% S or less) and / or inclusion shape control techniques are employed to enhance transverse ductility and notch toughness. The low-carbon Mo-Nb and Mo-Nb (V) steels are compatible with these new steelmaking, deoxidation and casting practices offering an economical approach to higherstrenth, tough steels needed for the production of heavy wall thickness A rctic and offshore submarine pipelines. The Battelle DWTT and Charpy results demonstrate the high toughness capability of these steels at temperatures of -40°C and below. Approximately 0.5 million metric tons of molybdenum-containing line pipe have been supplied, and this quantity is expected to double in 1976. Continuing production in North America, especially in Canada, and in Western Europe, especially in Italy, coupled with the production of several hundred thousand tons of Arcticquality, 1420-mm-diameter pipe by the Japanese mills will account for this high tonnage. The Mo-Nb/Mo-Nb (V) steel technology is playing an important role in Arctic and offshore, submarine pipelining throughout the world.

Application of synchrotron radiation to x-ray lithography

Synchrotron radiation from the German electron synchrotron DESY in Hamburg has been used for x-ray lithography. Replications of different master patterns (for magnetic bubble devices, Fresnel zone plates, etc.) were made using various wavelengths and exposures. High-quality lines down to 500 Å wide have been reproduced using very soft x rays. The sensitivities of x-ray resists have been evaluated over a wide range of exposures. Various critical factors (heating, radiation damage, etc.) involved with x-ray lithography using synchrotron radiation have been studied. General considerations of storage ring sources designed as radiation sources for x-ray lithography are discussed, together with a comparison with x-ray tube sources. The general conclusion is that x-ray lithography using synchrotron radiation offers considerable promise as a process for forming high-quality-submicron images with exposure times as short as a few seconds.

Studies of a TEA CO 2 laser with a cylindrical mirror unstable resonator

We describe the results of a study of a TEA CO 2 laser using a strip cylindrical unstable resonator which produces an output beam with suitable characteristics for producing a high quality line focus. Using this technique an irradiance of ∾10 9W cm -2 over a 5 cm long line focus has been achieved.

Proprietes magnetiques des oxysulfures de terres rares

High quality line parameters of the band systems of ethane are required for accurate characterization of spectral features observed in the atmospheres of Jovian planets and their satellites. To date, experimental characterization of the excited vibrational states lying below 1300 cm−1 has been made. This includes the torsional bands around 35 µm, ν9 (820 cm−1), ν3 (990 cm−1), ν12−ν9 (380 cm−1) and ν9+ν4−ν4 (830 cm−1) bands. These earlier high resolution ro-vibrational analyses were made to experimental accuracy. Here, we report a detailed analysis of the weak ν6 band in the 1340–1410 cm−1 region using a spectrum recorded at a resolution of 0.003 cm−1 and temperature of 200 K. The Hamiltonian model included couplings between ν6 and ν9 (in particular with ν9+2ν4 with which it is resonantly coupled) as well as couplings between ν6 and ν8. An excellent fit to within experimental accuracy was obtained. Taking the results of this 5-state fit, together with earlier results on lower lying vibrations, we now have experimental characterization for torsion–vibration states of ethane lying below 1400 cm−1.

Nuclear test instrumentation with miniature superconductive cables

The instrumentation requirements for nuclear testing are particularly stringent because of the nature of the transients involved and because of the distance at which instrumentation must be placed. Presently used high-quality transmission lines are not capable of nanosecond performance where cable runs of approximately 1000 meters are concerned. Experimental data from the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission's Nevada Test Site show that 30-ns rise times are attainable for a superconductive cable 7620 meters long. Although the performance of conventional cables (normal conductors) can be improved by low-temperature operation, superconductive cables operated at the same temperature offer bandwidths 100 times greater.
