The effect of the tetrapeptide des-arg -enterostatin (Val-Pro-Asp-Pro) on the growth of muang bean, Vigna rodiate, was studied. At a concentration of 0.2mM in the nutrient solution the peptide reduced the growth significantly. Possible mechanisms underlying the growth inhibition are discussed.

In this paper we discuss parallelization and distribution of problems modeled in a constraint programming (CP) framework. We focus on parallelization of depth-first search methods, since search is the most time-consuming task in CP. The current hardware development is moving towards multi-core processors and the cost of building distributed systems is shrinking. Hence, parallelization and distribu

The paper focuses on the fact that, since the flow rate in parallel channels relies strongly on the channel width, the combination may lead to inaccurate results if errors in the fabrication process lead to an uneven distribution of channel widths. Parallel channel enzyme reactors were designed with channel widths distributed normally with different degrees of standard deviation. The reactors were

Popular Abstract in Swedish Industriell produktion av bärkonserver innefattar flera enhetsoperationer, vilka alla påverkar sensoriska så väl som näringsmässiga kvaliteter hos produkten. Upptiningen är ett speciellt kritiskt steg eftersom förändringar i både kemisk sammansättning och textur sker. Upptining av jordgubbar i designade lösningar visade att bärens fasthet såväl som viktsförlusterna gickThe industrial production of preserves includes several unit operations which all affects sensorial properties as well as the nutritional value of the final product. Thawing is a crucial unit operation, since then both chemical and physical changes take place. Thawing strawberries in selected aqueous media could gave both firmer strawberries and smaller weight loss than if air was used as the tha

The conference intended to make visible research on groups in social systems carried out in Sweden and neighboring countries. The rapid changes characterizing organizations and societies at the verge of the 21st millennium taking into account the continuous dislocation of the context of groups and group research was emphasized. An important issue was the exploration of whether established theories

Emerging knowledge of cartilage metabolism and structure has stimulated efforts to develop new cartilage-monitoring techniques in health and disease. This article gives an overview of cartilage matrix structure, cartilage metabolism, and significant exogenous factors to show how such knowledge can guide the development of new means to monitor cartilage. Delayed contrast enhanced MRI of cartilage
