The process involves placing the solid food (whole or in pieces) into solutions of high sugar or salt concentration. Le Maguer (1988), Raoult-Wack (1994), Fito and Chiralt (1997), Behsnilian and Spiess (1998), Spiess and Behsnilian (1998), Lazarides et al. (1999), and Torreggiani and Bertolo (2002) have reviewed the basic principles, modeling and control, and specific applications of osmotic dehydration on fruit and vegetables. Additionally, the most recent research advances in this field can be obtained from the European-founded network on osmotic treatments (FAIR, 1998). 

More recent research and development efforts have resulted in a second kind of digital certificate, the attribute certificate [10] that can be used for supporting attribute-based access control systems. An attribute certificate has a structure similar to an identity certificate but contains attributes that specify access control information associated with the certificate holder (e.g., group membership, role, security clearance). Note that in principle these attributes can be placed in the extension fields of identity certificates [12]. However, this is not a viable solution for two main reasons. First, the certificate authorities who issue the identity certificates are not usually responsible for this kind of authorization information. As a result, certificate authorities must take additional steps to obtain access control information from the source. Second, the lifetime associated with attribute-based information is different from the lifetime associated with identity-based certificates. In an attribute... 

The closely related research on polyether chelates by Michal Szwarc and his co-workers led to a detailed determination of the structure and properties of carbanions in ion pairs and free ions. The fundamental principles which were developed and clarified in their numerous publications contribute to an understanding and interpretation of much of the polyamine chelate work as well. More recently the crown ether chelates, pioneered by Pederson and co-workers at the Dupont Laboratories, have given additional impetus to research on chelated alkali metal compounds. Crown ethers and amines are cyclic variations which can provide greater stability and specificity in complexation of cations, particularly the heavier alkali metal ions. 

Intensive research on the electrocatalytic properties of polymer-modified electrodes has been going on for many years Until recently, most known coatings were redox polymers. Combining redox polymers with conducting polymers should, in principle, further improve the electrocatalytic activity of such systems, as the conducting polymers are, in addition, electron carriers and reservoirs. One possibility of intercalating electroactive redox centres in the conducting polymer is to incorporate redoxactive anions — which act as dopants — into the polymer. Most research has been done on PPy, doped with inter alia Co 96) RyQ- 297) (--q. and Fe-phthalocyanines 298,299) Co-porphyrines Evidently, in these... 

Numerous important bioactive compounds have been, and continue to be, isolated worldwide from natural sources. These compounds include both primary and secondary metabolites isolated mainly from plants, as well as from the animal and mineral kingdoms. The recent development of new bioassay methods has facilitated progress in the BDFI (bioactivity-directed fractionation and isolation) of many useful bioactive compounds from natural sources (1). These active principles could be developed or additionally modified to enhance the biologic profiles as clinical trials candidates. Many natural pure compounds have become medicines, dietary supplements, and other useful commercial products. This article summarizes research on many different useful compounds isolated or developed from plants with an emphasis on those discovered recently by the laboratories of the authors as antitumor and anti-HIV clinical trial candidates.
