INTEGRATION OF CMOS-ELECTRONICS AND PARTICLE DETECTOR DIODES IN HIGH-RESISTIVITY SILICON-ON-INSULATOR WAFERS
A new approach to monolithic pixel detectors, based on SOI wafers with high resistivity substrate, is being pursued by the CERN RD19 collaboration. This paper reports on the used fabrication methods, and on the results of the electrical evaluation of the SOI - MOSFET devices and of the detector structures fabricated in the bulk. The leakage current of the high-resistivity PIN-diodes was kept in the order of 5 to 10 nA/cm2. The SOI preparation processes considered (SIMOX and ZMR) produced working electronic circuits and appear to be compatible with the fabrication of detectors of suitable quality
Anthocyanins enhance yeast’s adsorption of Ochratoxin A during the alcoholic fermentation
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a mycotoxin that can be present in food products and beverages such as wine, in which the European Union has regulated its maximum concentration. Since yeasts can adsorb OTA during the alcoholic fermentation (AF), we have analyzed whether anthocyanins influence the reduction of OTA in wine during AF carried out by two Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains. Laboratory experiments were conducted with one white must and two red musts that were obtained by adding to the white must two different concentrations of anthocyanins extract. Musts were supplemented with OTA and tested at two pHs. A reduction of OTA was observed in all wines, being higher in red wines. These data point that a chemical bond between anthocyanins and OTA is probably responsible for enhanced adsorption of OTA by yeast. On the other hand, the removal of OTA between the two inoculated yeast strains was different. This result cannot be only attributed to differences in the yeasts’ cell wall composition, because differences were not detected in white wines

Structure of haze forming proteins in white wines: Vitis vinifera thaumatin-like proteins
Grape thaumatin-like proteins (TLPs) play roles in plant-pathogen interactions and can cause protein haze in white wine unless removed prior to bottling. Different isoforms of TLPs have different hazing potential and aggregation behavior. Here we present the elucidation of the molecular structures of three grape TLPs that display different hazing potential. The three TLPs have very similar structures despite belonging to two different classes (F2/4JRU is a thaumatin-like protein while I/4L5H and H2/4MBT are VVTL1), and having different unfolding temperatures (56 vs. 62°C), with protein F2/4JRU being heat unstable and forming haze, while I/4L5H does not. These differences in properties are attributable to the conformation of a single loop and the amino acid composition of its flanking regions
