Ultrafiltration of Milk on French Farms and in the Making of a New Specialty Cheese Industry

Ultrafiltration and thermization of milk on dairy farms in France have been under study since 1979. More recently five dairy farms in Brittany have been routinely producing 2:1 whole milk retentate for Emmental and St. Paulin cheese making. The milk processed is ultrafiltered at 35°C and thermized at 72°C for 15 s in an Ultratherm unit. Cheese quality generally appears satisfactory.In Eastern France a new specialty cheese industry has been started utilizing 4.5:1 whole milk retentate produced by ultrafiltration conducted at 40°C. The specialty cheese attains its characteristic white surface from Penicillium album mold. It has a bland, nutty flavor and very soft, smooth texture. A surface bluing phenomenon occurs after 14 d.     

Scaled model measurements of embedding impedances for SIS waveguide mixers

Several scaled models have been used to determine the contributions of various waveguide mount parameters to the embedding impedance of a mm-wave SIS mixer. Measured effects of waveguide height, substrate orientation and width, junction location, lead inductance and RF-filter impedance are presented and discussed.     

THERMAL RADIATION EFFECTS ON THE COMBUSTION BEHAVIOR OF POROUS CHAR PARTICLES

The effects of thermal radiation on the pseudosteady state and transient behavior of porous char particles exposed to an oxygen containing environment are investigated. The numerical simulation results show that particles that do not interchange radiant energy with their environment are characterized by wider ambient temperature regions where multiple steady states exist, higher combustion rates, and lower burning times
