An Analysis of Citation Counts of ETRI‐Invented US Patents

From its foundation until 2004, ETRI has registered over 1,000 US patents. This letter analyzes the characteristics of these patents and addresses the explanatory factors affecting their citation counts. For explanatory variables, research team related variables, invention specific variables, and geographical domain related variables are suggested. Zero‐altered count data models are used to test the impact of independent variables. A key finding is that technological cumulativeness, the scale of invention, outputs in the electronic field, and the degree of dependence on the US technology domain positively affect the citation counts of ETRI‐invented US patents. The magnitude of international presence appears to negatively affect the citation counts of ETRI‐invented US patents.     

Bacteriological Safety of Swine Carcasses Treated with Reconditioned Water

Swine carcass microflora were evaluated for selected foodborne pathogens after exposure to reconditioned water during scalding, dehairing, and polishing operations. Reused water had been reconditioned and chlorinated. Rodac plates applied to hams were used to assess carcass microflora. Water samples were enumerated using membrane filtration or spiral plating. Sampling was at mid-week throughout the year. Total aerobic plate counts on hams were unaffected by treating with potable or reconditioned waters. No differences were observed for staphylococci, enterics, fecal streptococci, Listeria monocytogenes, coliforms, and Aeromonas levels. A preevisceration potable water carcass wash reduced the bacterial load, regardless of initial treatment. Bacterial counts on carcasses paralleled those in water. Reuse is an alternative to potable water for initial slaughter operations without diminishing bacteriologic safety.     

Disinfection of wastewaters: high-energy electron vs gamma irradiation

A study was undertaken to examine the sensitivity of a wastewater population of coliphage, total coliforms and total flora present in raw sewage and secondary effluent after irradiating with similar doses delivered by a high-energy electron beam and y -radiation. The electron beam study was conducted on a large scale at the Virginia Key Wastewater Treatment Plant, Miami, Fla. The facility is equipped with a 1.5 MeV, 50 mA electron accelerator, with a wastewater flow rate of 8 ls⁻¹. Concurrent y-radiation studies were conducted at laboratory scale using a 5000 Ci, ⁶⁰Co y -source. Three logs reduction of all three test organisms were observed at an electron beam dose of 500 krads, while at least four logs reduction were observed at the same dose utilizing the y-source.

Analysis and reduction of data spikes in thin client computing

While various optimization techniques have been used in existing thin client systems to reduce network traffic, the screen updates triggered by many user operations will still result in long interactive latencies in many contemporary network environments. Long interactive latencies have an unfavorable effect on users’ perception of graphical interfaces and visual contents. The long latencies arise when data spikes need to be transferred over a network while the available bandwidth is limited. These data spikes are composed of a large amount of screen update data produced in a very short time. In this paper, we propose a model to analyze the packet-level redundancy in screen update streams caused by repainting of graphical objects. Using this model we analyzed the data spikes in screen update streams. Based on the analysis result we designed a hybrid cache-compression scheme. This scheme caches the screen updates in data spikes on both server and client sides, and uses the cached data as history to better compress the recurrent screen updates in possible data spikes. We empirically studied the effectiveness of our cache scheme on some screen updates generated by one of the most bandwidth-efficient thin client system, Microsoft Terminal Service. The experiment results showed that this cache scheme with a cache of 2M bytes can reduce 26.7%–42.2% data spike count and 9.9%–21.2% network traffic for the tested data, and can reduce 25.8%–38.5% noticeable long latencies for different types of applications. This scheme costs only a little additional computation time and the cache size can be negotiated between the client and server.

为分析添加PI染料时乳制品中不同的荧光成分如酪蛋白、黄油、维生素B1、维生素B2、维生素C等对荧光图像观察的影响,探究了不同乳制品及其成分在PI染色观察条件下的荧光性质,并以酿酒酵母为目标菌,研究了10种乳制品中酿酒酵母PI荧光图像计数结果。结果表明,酪蛋白、黄油、维生素B1、维生素B2、维生素C等成分及10种乳制品在发射光615 nm均可产生荧光,但不影响PI染色的酿酒酵母荧光计数的观察结果。使用荧光显微镜对添加105~107 CFU/mL酿酒酵母菌液的10种乳制品进行PI染色计数,并将荧光图像计数结果与平板计数结果进行比较。其中经荧光图像计数后得到的菌液浓度对数值分别在5.69~5.93、6.18~6.28、7.13~7.21之间,对应平板计数结果的对数值分别5.49~5.63、6.02~6.06、7.02~7.06之间,二者结果一致。使用 PI 进行荧光图像计数时,乳制品荧光虽然存在但不会对酿酒酵母荧光图像观察与计数造成影响。
