The present study comprised fat tissue samples of 46 (partly 23) pig carcasses randomly obtained from each one of four production systems: common fattening, pigs fattened on a low-fat diet and pigs grown on diets enriched with medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) in low or high amounts (0.3% and 3.6% C8 with C14, respectively). As models for subcutaneous, intermuscular and intramuscular fat tissues, back fat, dissected belly fat tissue and belly meat were used. In all fat tissues, the contents of MCFA were significantly elevated only with the high dietary content of MCFA, with a preferential retention of the MCFA in the storage tissues. In the MCFA supplemented groups, linoleic acid contents were slightly lower in subcutaneous and intermuscular fat as compared to the control group, in the group with the low-fat diet linoleic acid was considerably lower in all tissues. In spite of the only marginal differences in fatty acid pattern, the penetrometrically assessed firmness of backfat as well as the oxidative resistance of back and belly fat were almost twice as high in the high-MCFA group as in the other groups. In the low-fat group, water content of the back fat (16.9%) was higher than the average of the other groups (14.5%). The implications for routing assessment of fat tissue properties at slaughter plants are discussed. 相似文献
Co-located collaboration can be extremely valuable during complex visual analytics tasks. We present an exploratory study of a system designed to support collaborative visual analysis tasks on a digital tabletop display. Fifteen participant pairs employed Cambiera, a visual analytics system, to solve a problem involving 240 digital documents. Our analysis, supported by observations, system logs, questionnaires, and interview data, explores how pairs approached the problem around the table. We contribute a unique, rich understanding of how users worked together around the table and identify eight types of collaboration styles that can be used to identify how closely people work together while problem solving. We show how the closeness of teams’ collaboration and communication influenced how they performed on the task overall. We further discuss the role of the tabletop for visual analytics tasks and derive design implications for future co-located collaborative tabletop problem solving systems. 相似文献
After initial necking of tensile polymer samples the deformation front moves along the gauge length at a stress which is smaller than the yield stress. The still undeformed parts of the sample are therefore subjected to conditions which favour deformation by a creep mechanism. If the extension rate is right, secondary necking becomes possible. Boundary conditions are discussed. 相似文献
A series of composites of polycarbonate (PC) with 23 different contents of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) was produced by melt mixing using the masterbatch dilution method. In dielectric measurements, AC conductivity and complex permittivity data obtained in the frequency range between 10−3 and 107 Hz at room temperature indicated the electrical percolation threshold at about 1.0 wt%.
The dynamic mode melt rheological measurements for the same samples at eight temperatures between 170 and 280 °C showed a visible change in the frequency dependence of dynamic moduli and the absolute value of the complex viscosity |η*| particularly at low frequencies. In literature these changes are sometimes related to so called ‘percolation threshold concentration’. Applying this picture to our experimental data we have to assume that the percolation threshold is strongly dependent on the measurement temperature. It changes from about 5 to 0.5 wt% MWNT by increasing the measurement temperature from 170 to 280 °C, respectively. This temperature dependence cannot be explained by a classical liquid-solid transition but may be related to the existence of a combined nanotube-polymer network. 相似文献
Passive layers on Fe20Cr and Fe15Cr were prepared by anodic oxidation in 0.5 M H2SO4 and were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The preparation of the sputter-cleaned samples and their transfer to the ultrahigh vacuum was performed under protection of purified argon without any contact to the laboratory atmosphere. The prepassive layer consists of a homogeneous film with Cr(III)hydroxide and Cr(III)-sulphate with a low content of Fe(II). In the passive potential range a bilayer structure with enrichment of Cr(III)-oxides with an outer hydroxide and an inner oxide part is formed. Iron exists only in a bivalent oxidation state. In the transpassive potential range a pronounced change of the layer composition was observed: The outer part of the transpassive layer is formed predominantly by Fe(III) species whereas the inner part still contains a strong enrichment of Cr2O3. 相似文献
The conversion of methane to higher hydrocarbons on single crystal Ru catalysts has been investigated using combined elevated-pressure kinetic measurements/surface science studies. The reaction consists of activation of methane on Ru(0001) and Ru(11¯20) surfaces to produce carbonaceous intermediates at temperatures
between 350 and 700 K and rehydrogenation of these species to ethane and propane at
370 K. It is found that under the reaction conditions employed, the maximum yield in ethane/propane production occurs at
500 K on both surfaces. Influence of the hydrogenation temperature on the production of ethane and propane is also examined. On Ru(0001), the yields of ethane and propane maximize at
= 400 K, whereas no maximum yield was observed on Ru(11
0) in the 300–500 K temperature range. Under optimum reaction conditions, hydrocarbon products consist of 16% ethane and 2% propane. High-resolution electron energy-loss spectroscopy (HREELS) has been used to identify various forms of hydrocarbonaceous intermediates following methane decomposition. An effort is made to relate the hydrocarbon intermediates identified by HREELS to the gas phase products observed in the elevated pressure experiments. 相似文献
