Surimi and kamaboko prepared from hake ( Merluccius merluccius) and horse mackerel ( Trachurus trachurus) were characterized chemically and microstructurally. During the process, protein and lipid values decreased while ash, chloride and free nitrogen extract values increased. Hake surimi and kamaboko had less humidity and a higher value of protein than horse mackerel surimi and kamaboko. In both gels water activity decreased and whiteness increased. Horse mackerel kamaboko was more elastic while hake kamaboko was harder and more brittle. The microstructural study showed that the typical structure of fish muscle was lost, giving rise to a porous protein matrix with regions of high and low protein density, as well as some fragments of muscle fibres.

An experiment was conducted to assess the selectivity in a typical Mediterranean bottom trawl, equipped with a square-mesh panel inserted in front of the cod end, for Atlantic horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus), European hake (Merluccius merluccius), red mullet (Mullus barbatus), poor cod (Trisopterus minutus), broadtail shortfin squid (Illex coindetii), and deep-water rose shrimp (Parapaeneus longirostris). The release efficiency of undersized individuals through the panel was low. The differences in selectivity between the gear with and without the panel were very small. The low release efficiency of the square-mesh panel was caused by the lack of fish contact with the panel as they drifted towards the cod end, since the average contact probability was estimated not to exceed 9% for any of the species investigated. A low probability of contact with the selection device was thus found to be the reason for the low efficiency of the square-mesh panel.

AbstractIn the present paper, recent results obtained on the use of different distributions observed in larval species of Anisakis, genetically identified by means of allozyme markers, for stock characterization of demersal (Merluccius merluccius), small (Trachurus trachurus) and large pelagic (Xiphias gladius) finfish species in European waters, are reviewed and discussed. Several species of Anisakis were identified in the three fish hosts: A. simplex (s.s.), A. physeteris, A. typica, A. ziphidarum,A. pegreffii, A. brevispiculata and A. paggiae. Canonical discriminant analysis performed on all the samples of the three fish species collected in areas comprising their geographical range, according to the different species of Anisakis identified, showed distinct fish populations in European waters. In all the three fish hosts, the pattern of distribution of Anisakis larvae allowed discrimination of Mediterranean stocks from Atlantic stocks. In the case of swordfish, the possible existence of a southern Atlantic stock separated from a northern one is also suggested. Congruence and discordance with the population genetic data inferred from allozyme markers on the same samples of the three fish species are also discussed.

We have reported the dependence of the magnetic and recording properties of CoPtCr recording media on the thickness of the Cr underlayer. It was inferred from XRD data that grain-to-grain epitaxy of the Cr with the CoPtCr was responsible for the interaction observed between these layers. However, no cross-sectional TEM (XTEM) work was performed to confirm this inference. In this paper, we report the application of new techniques for preparing XTEM specimens from actual magnetic recording disks, and for layer-by-layer micro-diffraction with an electron probe elongated parallel to the surface of the deposited structure which elucidate the effect of the crystallographic structure of the Cr on that of the CoPtCr.XTEM specimens were prepared from magnetic recording disks by modifying a technique used to prepare semiconductor specimens. After 3mm disks were prepared per the standard XTEM procedure, these disks were then lapped using a tripod polishing device. A grid with a single 1mmx2mm hole was then glued with M-bond 610 to the polished side of the disk.

Lower Contact

Considerable amount of work has been done in studying the relationship between the contact resistance and the microstructure of the Au-Ge-Ni based ohmic contacts to n-GaAs. It has been found that the lower contact resistivity is due to the presence of Ge rich and Au free regions (good contact area) in contact with GaAs. Thus in order to obtain an ohmic contact with lower contact resistance one should obtain a uniformly alloyed region of good contact areas almost everywhere. This can possibly be accomplished by utilizing various alloying schemes. In this work microstructural characterization, employing TEM techniques, of the sequentially deposited Au-Ge-Ni based ohmic contact to the MODFET device is presented.The substrate used in the present work consists of 1 μm thick buffer layer of GaAs grown on a semi-insulating GaAs substrate followed by a 25 Å spacer layer of undoped AlGaAs.
