Influence of Manufacturing and Ripening Conditions on the Survival of Enterobacteriaceae in Manchego Cheese

The effects of cooking temperature, time and temperature of brine-salting, and temperature of ripening on the behavior of Enterobacteriaceae in Manchego cheese were studied. Fifty lots of cheese from raw ewe's milk manufactured and ripened under different conditions were investigated throughout a 60-day ripening period. Differences in pH values due to temperature-dependent whey retention accounted for the effect of cooking temperature on coliform and fecal coliform counts. Temperature of brine-salting had no effect on Enterobacteriaceae counts, but a significant effect of salting time on Enterobacteriaceae and fecal coliform counts was detected. Ripening temperature was the manufacturing variable with greatest influence (P<.01) on Enterobacteriaceae and coliform counts during the whole curing period.     

全双极WTA模型的改进及其实现

提出了一种相似度的新定义，使双极ＷＡＴ模型的实现更加简洁明了。增加一个阈值使系统能判别非存储模式或因其信息量过低而无法鉴定的输入模式，阈值的大小与要求的容错能力有关。双极相似度及阈值通过光学方法实现。阈值的光学实现使系统仍具有照明不变性。通过电路实现取及ＷＴＡ网络的迭代运算。     

IPA模型对Hopfield模型神经网络的改进

考虑Ｈｏｐｆｉｅｌｄ模型中假态之间的布尔逻辑关系，提出利用ＩＰＡ模型对神经网络中的假态进行抑制，并和原网络的性能进行了比较，结果表明：改进后的网络性能比Ｈｏｐｆｉｅｌｄ模型和ＩＰＡ模型均有较大提高。     

ANALYSIS AND PROCESSING OF LMF－COSTAS STEPPED FREQUENCY RADAR SIGNAL

Linear Modulated Frequency (LMF) Costas Stepped Frequency Radar (SFR) signal is introduced. Its ambiguity function is derived and analyzed in detail and its feasibility is validated in theory. The scheme of the proposed signal processing is also presented. The results of theoretic analysis and simulation show that, by using the proposed signal and increasing the bandwidth of the total stepped frequency, the ambiguity sidelobe is well suppressed and the range-velocity coupling in the stepped frequency radar is also greatly weakened.

Comments on “Multiphase systolic algorithms for spectraldecomposition” [and reply]

Comments that the paper by Liu and Yao (see ibid., vol.40, no.1, p.190, 1992) presented an efficient algorithm for spectral decomposition, but the parallel algorithm and architecture for the Hessenberg reduction has a problem. The matrix obtained from the unitary similarity transformation is not necessarily a Hessenberg matrix. The authors reply that the Hessenberg reduction described is not in the Hessenberg form. Only the first column is in its proper form. There are many ways to overcome such a problem. One simple way is to use the multiphase rectangular systolic array     

浙江泵业何去何从?

浙江省已经成为我国最大的泵产品制造省份，温州、台州、杭州是浙江省泵制造业的三个生产基地，永嘉还被中通协授予“中国泵阀之乡”的称号，然而许多浙江籍泵企业领导都有这样的感慨；企业的初期发展非常快，但发展到一定规模后，速度就停止下来了，专家牟介刚一直关注浙江泵业的发展，在本文中，分析了浙江泵业普遍存在的深层不足，并给出了今后如何发展的措施建议，值得浙江的泵业企业家们关注。     

Faculty and Student Attitudes Toward Community Service: A Comparative Analysis

The Humanitarian Engineering initiative, sponsored by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, at the Colorado School of Mines, is creating a program that will support engineering students in understanding their responsibility for solving community development problems that exist throughout the world. As part of this effort, data has been collected on faculty and student attitudes using the ‘Community Service Attitudes Scale,” developed and validated by Shiarella, McCarthy, and Tucker. During the fall 2004, 78 students and 34 faculty members responded to this instrument. Statistically significant differences were found between the attitudes of students and faculty, males and females, and among different age groupings with respect to service activities. A general finding was that faculty displayed better attitudes toward community service than the students.     

Optimization techniques for curved path computing

Participating media with an inhomogeneous index of refraction make light follow curved paths. Simulating this in a global illumination environment has usually been neglected due to the complexity of the calculations involved, sacrificing accurate physical simulations for efficient visual results. This paper aims to simulate non-linear media in a more reasonable time than previous works without losing physical correctness. Accuracy is achieved by solving the Eikonal equation of geometrical optics, which describes the path followed by a light beam that traverses a non-linear medium. This equation is used in the context of a photon mapping extension.
