Influence of Sweetness and Ethanol Content on Mead Acceptability by Gomes Teresa, Dias Teresa, Cadavez Vasco, Verdial João, Morais Jorge Sá, Ramalhosa Elsa, Estevinho Letícia M.

“…The sweet (75 gglucose+fructose/L) and dry (23 gglucose+fructose/L) meads presented glycerol contents equal to 5.10±0.54 and 5.96±0.95 g/L, respectively, that were desirable since glycerol improves mead quality. Low concentrations of acetic acid were determined (0.46±0.08 and 0.57±0.09 g/L), avoiding the vinegar off-character. …”

Integrated SegFlow, µSIA, and UPLC for Online Sialic Acid Quantitation of Glycoproteins Directly from Bioreactors by Letha Chemmalil, Tanmay Kulkarni, Mathura Raman, Priya Singh, Yueming Qian, Chris Chumsae, Kyle McHugh, Zhuangrong Huang, Eric Hodgman, Michael C. Borys, Julia Ding, Gloria Li, Anthony Leone

“…Therefore, the level of sialic acid is a critical quality attribute (CQA), and monitoring and regulating sialylation has become a regulatory requirement to ensure desired clinical performance. To achieve consistent levels of sialic acid‐to‐protein ratio, the time of upstream harvest and conductivity of downstream wash buffers must be tightly regulated based on the sialic acid content. …”

Empire Seen from Within. Cinema Objects, Spaces and Edifices in the Limelight in Colonial India and Ceylon (1899-1950) by Vilasnee Tampoe-Hautin

“…The scope widens further for research when one contemplates the way technical innovations in Europe, first in photography, then in picture animation as well as in printing and reproducing fixed or moving images, contributed eminently to the promotion of Empire within Empire, in what Michel Foucault qualified as a fin de siècle ‘frénésie neuve des images’ (Exhibition catalogue of Gérard Fromanger’s ‘Le désir est partout’, 1975, Leutrat). I will venture down this less beaten track in what will also be a reverse perspective. …”
