Analisis Kapabilitas Proses Produksi Monosodium Glutamat (MSG) di PT. Ajinomoto Indonesia

Produk Monosodium Glutamat (MSG) di PT. AJINOMOTO INDO-NESIA pengendalian kualitasnya baru dilakukan secara kimia dan biologi, sedangkan secara statistik masih dianalisis secara sederhana. Karakteristik kualitas MSG ada empat yaitu pH, Moist, Alpha D dan Cl-, sehingga di dalam penelitian ini akan dilakukan analisis untuk mening-katkan kualitas secara statistik yaitu analisis kapabilitas proses. Analisis kapabilitas proses dilakukan setelah membuat peta kendali Multivariat yaitu T2 Hotelling dan Generalized Variance (GV) terkendali. Hasil dari analisis kapabilitas proses secara multivariat adalah proses produksi MSG jenis RC periode Bulan Januari sampai Maret 2012 dikatakan belum kapabel karena memiliki nilai Cp yang kurang dari satu, yaitu sebesar 0,608867

Certificação de produtos orgânicos: obstáculos à implantação de um sistema participativo de garantia na Andaluzia, Espanha.

O trabalho analisa o processo de organização de produtores orgânicos da Andaluzia que estiveram envolvidos em uma tentativa de implantação de um sistema participativo de garantia. Esta iniciativa foi liderada pela administração dessa comunidade autônoma espanhola entre 2006 e 2008. O estudo baseia-se em entrevistas realizadas com atores sociais que estiveram implicados nesse processo, identificando os obstáculos políticos e organizativos que impediram que essa proposta pudesse avançar

Alterations in gene expression profiles correlated with cisplatin cytotoxicity in the glioma U343 cell line

Gliomas are the most common tumors in the central nervous system, the average survival time of patients with glioblastoma multiforme being about 1 year from diagnosis, in spite of harsh therapy. Aiming to study the transcriptional profiles displayed by glioma cells undergoing cisplatin treatment, gene expression analysis was performed by the cDNA microarray method. Cell survival and apoptosis induction following treatment were also evaluated. Drug concentrations of 12.5 to 300 μM caused a pronounced reduction in cell survival rates five days after treatment, whereas concentrations higher than 25 μM were effective in reducing the survival rates to ~1%. However, the maximum apoptosis frequency was 20.4% for 25 μM cisplatin in cells analyzed at 72 h, indicating that apoptosis is not the only kind of cell death induced by cisplatin. An analysis of gene expression revealed 67 significantly (FDR < 0.05) modulated genes: 29 of which down- and 38 up-regulated. These genes belong to several classes (metabolism, protein localization, cell proliferation, apoptosis, adhesion, stress response, cell cycle and DNA repair) that may represent several affected cell processes under the influence of cisplatin treatment. The expression pattern of three genes (RHOA, LIMK2 and TIMP2) was confirmed by the real time PCR method
