The power factor is the ratio of the power ia watts dissipated ia a material to the product of the effective siausoidal voltage and current ia volt-amperes. When the dissipation factor is less than 0.1, the power...

This is an essential step in the conversion of corn to full-grade ethanol. 

The yield was highest with starch or dextrin, intermediate and about the same with sucrose, glucose, maltose and lactose and poorest with glycerol. Kanamycin was produced by media containing soybean meal, peanut meal, cottonseed meal, corn steep liquor, peptone, yeast extract or meat extract, with or without sodium nitrate. Commercially available soybean meal was recognized to be one of the best nitrogen sources. The addition of corn steep liquor, peptone, yeast extract or nitrate to the soybean meal promoted the production of kanamycin. 

Transportation fuels are the largest consumers of crude oil. Petroleum-based transportation fuels are responsible for 35 percent of greenhouse gas emissions m the United States. Only percent of transportation fuels comes from renewable nonpetro-leum-based sources, primarily from the use of corn-based ethanol blended with gasoline to make gasohol. Increased use of biofuels could lower some of the pollution caused by the use of transportatiou fuels.

In studies on the moisture determination of corn by vacuum drying at 100° C., Sair and Fetzer (28) found that an error of about 0.5% in moisture content could be attributed to volatility of oils. The error was negligible in vacuum drying at 70° C. 

The insect s choice of food may be governed to a considerable extent, as ours is, by attractants and repellents. In many instances, the actual insecticidal action of plant extractives may be due primarily to an artificially high level of application, while, in fact, the parent plants are only repellent in the field. This repellency may appear to be resistance on the part of the plant, and the chemistry of such resistance factors has begun to receive much-needed attention. For example, Smissman and his coworkers have examined the chemical basis for the inherited resistance of some strains of corn to attack by the European corn borer. 6-Methoxybenzoxazolinone (X) was isolated (2, SO) and shown to be one of the principal resistance factors, and a number of synthetic analogs were found to... 

In a most recent paper [418] the preparation of corn fiber arabinoxylan esters by reaction of the polymer with C2-C4 anhydrides using methanesul-fonic acid as a catalyst is described. The water-insoluble derivatives with high molecular weight showed glass-transition temperatures from 61 to 138 °C, depending on the DS and substituent type. The products were thermally stable up to 200 °C. Above this temperature their stability rapidly decreased.

Surface crustation is caused by sucrose crystallization. It is characterized by hard white spots on the surface. It is remedied by the use of corn sirup solids and larger levels of hydrocolloids. During freezing in a continuous freezer there is ice separation caused by centrifugal separation of small ice crystals. Increase in mix viscosity by use of hydrocolloids inhibits this action.

The recent introduction of genetically modified crops has changed both the agriculture and food industries. United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) surveys report that 25% of corn, 61% of cotton and 54% of soybean acreage grown in the USA in 2000 were genetically modified. ... 

Third, the bulk of the items in Table 1 address method performance. These requirements must be satisfied on a substrate-by-substrate basis to address substrate-specific interferences. As discussed above, interferences are best dealt with by application of conventional sample preparation techniques use of blank substrate to account for background interferences is not permitted. The analyst must establish a limit of detection (LOD), the lowest standard concentration that yields a signal that can be differentiated from background, and an LOQ (the reader is referred to Brady for a discussion of different techniques used to determine the LOD for immunoassays). For example, analysis of a variety of corn fractions requires the generation of LOD and LOQ data for each fraction. Procedural recoveries must accompany each analytical set and be based on fresh fortification of substrate prior to extraction. Recovery samples serve to confirm that the extraction and cleanup procedures were conducted correctly for all samples in each set of analyses. Carrying control substrate through the analytical procedure is good practice if practicable. 

Workers are normally chosen for their skills and experience in carrying out the required tasks for the field portion of the study. For example, if one were doing research on exposure of custom applicators during treatment of corn in the Midwest USA, the researcher would probably contact an agricultural extension agent in the part... 

It is practically impossible to predict which particular kernel will pop at any given instant, and in this way the popping of corn is a random process, much like radioactive decay. However, the cornpopping process is predictable in the sense that you can say how much time it will take to prepare a batch of popcorn. Similarly, a sample of radioactive material decays within a known time period. This period is called a half-life.
