The paper presents the results of the study considering the role of catalase as the governing factor at wheat germ storage. The рН and temperature effect on wheat germ cake catalase activity and rigor has been considered and analyzed

Comparing magnetostructural transitions in Ni50Mn18.75Cu6.25Ga25 and Ni49.80Mn34.66In15.54 Heusler alloys

The crystal structure, magnetic and transport properties, including resistivity and thermopower, of Ni50Mn18.75Cu6.25Ga25 and Ni49.80Mn34.66In15.54 Heusler alloys were studied in the (10-400) K temperature interval. We show that their physical properties are remarkably different, thereby pointing to different origin of their magnetostructural transition (MST). A Seebeck coefficient (S) was found to pass minimum of about -20 μV/K in respect of temperature for both compounds. It was shown that MST observed for both compounds results in jump-like changes in S for Ga-based compound and jump in resistivity of about 20 and 200 μΩ cm for Ga and In -based compounds, respectively. The combined analyzes of the present results with that from literature show that the density of states at the Fermi level does not change strongly at the MST in the case of Ni-Mn-In alloys as compared to that of Ni-Mn-Ga

Label-free characterization of white blood cells using fluorescence lifetime imaging and flow-cytometry: molecular heterogeneity and erythrophagocytosis [Invited]

Article reporting the results of blood cell characterization using label-free fluorescence imaging techniques and flow-cytometry. Autofluorescence parameters of different cell types – white blood cells, red blood cells, erythrophagocytic cells – are assessed and analyzed in terms of molecular heterogeneity and possibilities of differentiation between different cell types in vitro and in vivo

Intelligent content-based retrieval for peer-to-peer networks

In this thesis, we propose an intelligent P2P content-based document retrieval system known as iSearch-P2P. In iSearch-P2P, we have incorporated several intelligent techniques including Fuzzy Adaptive Resonance Theory (Fuzzy ART), Support Vector Machine (SVM) and k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) to perform document clustering in order to support content-based publishing and retrieval over P2P networks. In this thesis, we first review the related research work. The architecture, publishing and retrieval processes, implementation and performance evaluation of the proposed iSearch-P2P system are then discussed.Master of Engineering (SCE

Justification of application of new types of fastening of slopes of hydraulic engineering constructions

The article represents the analysis of various types of fastenings of the soil slopes which have found broad application in the hydrotechnical construction practice for the last 10-15 years. It is noted that, generally, new types of fastenings represent composite materials made of concrete, metal and polymers. Experience shows that producers of the construction materials used in bank protection designs seek to recommend them for the solution of a wide range of tasks, at the same time it isn’t always founded. The authors, on the basis of the analysis of experience with the types of fastenings and also modern domestic and foreign recommendations about their design and construction, offer a technique of justification of new types of fastenings of slopes of hydraulic engineering constructions. The use of concrete filled geotextile mats in bank protection is brought out as a practical realization of the represented technique
