REVIEW OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES USED FOR MEAT IDENTIFICATION

Review of new technologies used for meat identification

The present article represents an analysis of trends in development of test-systems for identification of meat.These test systems are commonly used in food production and research laboratories.The relevance of development of methods for identification of meat kinds is related not only to the food restrictions, which are practiced in some religions

Fine slicing of the value chain and offshoring of essential activities: empirical evidence from European multinationals

The offshoring of more advanced activities is increasing and a debate about the limits of offshoring has emerged.Companies are fine-slicing their value chains, and moving beyond the offshoring of peripheral and non-core activities to the offshoring of advanced and essential activities that are closer to their core (e.g.research, design and product

Bayesian and maximum likelihood phylogenetic analyses of protein sequence data under relative branch-length differences and model violation

Abstract Background Bayesian phylogenetic inference holds promise as an alternative to maximum likelihood, particularly for large molecular-sequence data sets.We have investigated the performance of Bayesian inference with empirical and simulated protein-sequence data under conditions of relative branch-length differences and model violation.Result

The 2002 rock/ice avalanche at Kolka/Karmadon, Russian Caucasus: assessment of extraordinary avalanche formation and mobility, and application of QuickBird satellite imagery

A massive rock/ice avalanche of about 100x106m3 volume took place on the northern slope of the Kazbek massif, North Ossetia, Russian Caucasus, on 20 September 2002.The avalanche started as a slope failure, that almost completely entrained Kolka glacier, traveled down the Genaldon valley for 20km, was stopped at the entrance of the Karmadon gorge, a
