Vincentian Education: A Call to Mission
Donald Harrington, the president of St. John’s University, explores the dimensions that the Vincentian charism adds to work in education. The mission of Vincentian education is to instill Vincentian values, particularly love of the poor, in others. It is to help persons who are poor create better lives for themselves and “to preach Christ the evangelizer of the poor” to members of all social classes. Vincentian education is nourished by Vincentian spirituality. Educators must create an environment in which all are respected, so that God may be found in everyone. Educators’ actions will help others to know God. Vincentian education should respond to the culture of the times and should be done in collaboration with others. Educators are responsible for these collaborators’ formation so that they share in the Vincentian mission. Other aspects of Vincentian education are discussed
Signatures of black holes at the LHC
Signatures of black hole events at CERN's Large Hadron Collider are
discussed. Event simulations are carried out with the Fortran Monte Carlo
generator CATFISH. Inelasticity effects, exact field emissivities, color and
charge conservation, corrections to semiclassical black hole evaporation,
gravitational energy loss at formation and possibility of a black hole remnant
are included in the analysis.Comment: 13 pages, 7 figure
Sensory traits, color, and shelf life of low-dose irradiated, raw, ground beef patties
Irradiation of raw ground beef patties had
minimal effects on flavor and aroma of patties
after cooking. Oxidative rancidity increased
when patties were irradiated in aerobic but not
in vacuum packages. Irradiation of vacuum-packaged
ground beef patties produced a more
stable color. In both packaging types,
irradiation significantly reduced microbial
growth during storage
Sensory traits, color, and shelf life of low-dose irradiated, precooked, ground beef patties
Irradiation did not influence bitter, bloody,
burnt, chemical, fat-like, juiciness, liver-like,
beef identity, metallic, rancid, sour, sweet, and
toughness flavor/textural attributes, beef aroma,
or off-odor in precooked ground beef patties.
Irradiation slightly increased the animal hair
flavor note, but intensity levels were <1 on the
15-point sensory scale. Except for 10% fat non-irradiated
controls, reheated precooked patties
had a slight sour, ammonia-like, top note.
Irradiation at 3.5 kilograys (kGy) increased
external redness in vacuum-packaged patties,
but not in aerobic packages. Aerobic packaging
with or without irradiation decreased external
precooked redness. Oxidative rancidity
increased when patties were irradiated in
aerobic but not in vacuum packages. Reduction
of oxygen in vacuum bags extended the shelf
life of the precooked ground beef patties, at
least in terms of oxidative rancidity. Precooking
ground beef patties, irrespective of irradiation
or packaging type, posed sensory disadvantages,
and improvements to the precooking process
are needed before irradiating at low-dose levels

Efeitos da densidade de população de plantas na cultura de couve-flor (Brassica oleracea L. var. botrytis)
An experiment was carried out to study the effects of the following population densities cauliflowers (plants per ha): 20,833 (0.60 m x 0.80 m), 25,641 (0.60 m x 0.65 m), ....37.037 (0.60 m x 0.45 m) , 55.555 (.0.60 m x 0.30 m), and 111,111 (0,60 m x 0,15 m) ; variety Snow ball. It was concluded that the effects of plant population density are greater on curd quality (weight and size) than on production per ha. The best plant population density to produce cauliflowers curd for Brazil market is from 20,000 to 25,000 plants/ha while for mini-curd is above 55,000 plants/ha.O experimento foi instalado na área experimental do Setor de Horticultura da ESALQ. (Piracicaba, SP), em um Latossol Roxo série "Luiz de Queiroz", em março de 1977, considerando as seguintes densidades de população: 20.833 plantas/ha (0,60 m x 0,80m), .. 25.641 plantas/ha (0,60 m x 0,65 m), 37.037 plantas/ha (..0.,60 m x 0,45 ml, 55.550 plantas/ha (,06Q m x 0,30 ,) e 111.111 plantas/ ha (0,60 m x 0,15 m). A partir dos resultados obtidos e para as condições do experimento concluiu-se que a densidade de população sobre a produção de couve-flor afeta mais a qualidade da cabeça (peso e tamanho), enquanto que o rendimento por área é pouco afetado. Para as condições do nosso mercado, a densidade ótima deve estar entre 20.000 a 25.000 plantas por ha e para a produção de mini-couve-flor mais de 55.000 plantas por ha, paraocultivar Bola de Neve
