Protein profiling of nuts (peanut and walnut) both before and after roasting, with links to allergic reactions

Order Description

The idea behind this essay/investigation was to obtain protein fingerprints of two types of nuts (walnut and peanut) and through the use of protein separation techniques and mass spectrometry procedures identify proteins that could potentially be the cause of allergic responses in individuals suffering from nut allergies to peanuts but not walnuts.
I have carried out an experiment to find the protein concentrations of peanuts and walnuts using the bradford assay in both their raw and roasted states (roasting at time intervals of 5, 15, 30, 45 and 60 mins at 100 and 200 degrees in the oven). Checking the protein concentrations allowed me to move on to SDS PAGE procedure to look for protein bands that were present in peanuts and not in walnuts and to see if there are changes in the protein bands of peanut and walnut before and after roasting in order to check what happens to the protein bands after roasting, through the analysis of the SDS gel. I have written up the methods and results section of the essay, I need the introduction and discussion sections to be written up. I will myself, include the results in the discussion section.
I would like an introduction to be written (word limit: 1500 words) and a discussion (word limit: 1800): on the following topics:
INTRODUCTION (1500):
A.Explaining why the investigation was carried out

B.Stating the general field of interest and giving a brief history of previous studies;

C. Presenting (in outline only) the findings of other workers which will be challenged or developed;

D. specifying clearly the aims of the work described.

Discussion (1800):
My results showed from the bradford assay that there was a higher protein concentration in peanuts then in walnuts, and the SDS PAGE showed that there proteins bands that were present in peanut but not in walnut. I would like the following to be included in the discussion:
A. Set out the way in which the work (the three methods) fits in with, completes or perhaps differs from that of previous investigators. (Also include information from other studies, on specific proteins in peanuts that have been proposed to be involved in the allergic reaction. Also talk about the effect that roasting the nuts has on the allergic reactions from other studies).

B. You should also provide ideas in relation to future work that could be carried out to extend or clarify the conclusions based on your results. (Since I only completed the bradford assay and SDS PAGE I would like you to talk about future work involving MALDI TOF and also administering the proteins, only present in peanuts and not in walnuts, to cells of allergic patients to see if specific proteins are responsible for the allergic response, also briefly (up to 300 words) mentioning about the ethical issues involved with administering the proteins to patients.)

C. Anything else you might find useful/important that will contribute to the discussion (word limit 500)

mechanical engineering — Oil Injected Air Compressors

Order Description

General background
The separation of liquid and gaseous fluids is not a trivial problem and occurs in many manufacturing processes. Droplet size is critical to the separation efficiency with the smaller droplets presenting the most difficulty in separation. Typical examples of separation to provide dry gasses as in the production of “dry” steam for manufacturing processes and for the cleaning of crankcase “blow –by” gasses in internal combustion engines. The latter is now becoming more critical as Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR )into the inlet manifold for low NOx emissions together with closed crankcase ventilation places this oil mist in contact with hot gasses resulting in significant intake deposits.
This project will concentrate on one aspect of this issue by considering an oil / water and air separator for use in a modern air compressor, where oil is used to undertake a number of functions as well as to protect the moving components in the compressor.
This technical specification is for the air oil and water separation unit required for modern high compression oil injected compressors which can be either sliding vane or screw type. (Look up Mattei, Hydravane, VMAC and Rotocomp websites for examples amongst many manufacturers)
For this project the compressors can be considered to be oil flooded compressors of differing types and manufacture but both basically provide an output of mixed oil and air. The oil is used to perform three major functions :-
To Lubricate the moving parts and provide a hydrodynamic oil film support to prevent metal to metal contact of the moving parts be they sliding vane, or driven screw.
This oil film also provides a seal to reduce back leakage and increase the effective compression ratio
The flow of oil also acts as a thermal mass thus reducing compressor outlet temperatures. (from isentropic compression equations estimate the uncooled temperature for a 12 bar compressor)
This oil, having completed the three primary tasks, has to be separated from the air mass to provide better than BS ISO 8573-1 class 3 air whilst allowing the separated oil to be cooled and re-circulated back to the compressor inlet. ( the oil cooler is NOT part of this project task)
The separation system will contain a spin on oil filter capable of the full oil flow with a pressure drop of not more than 2 bar, as well as bosses fixtures and fittings to allow oil aerosol inlet, separated oil outlet(s), clean air outlet and water condensate drain, plus tapings for instrumentation and safety valves, with a method of ease of oil drain & filling. Full details to be agreed during the design reviews of the development project as presented at the various gate reviews. ( dates as provided in blackboard and in the main presentation )
Failure modes for the design must be considered and a full DFMEA analysis must be undertaken and presented as part of this project.
All pressure tank design directives must be adhered to and the system must be fully CE marked ref BS ISO 4126 & BS ISO 13445 including Pressure vessels directives 97/23/EC & 87/404/EEC.
Compressed air is not capable of holding all of the water present in humid air at atmospheric pressure (app 1) and any water in the system can freeze as the compressed air is expanded in doing work. (see gas law thermodynamics for temperatures on isentropic compression and expansion and estimate the exit temperature for 12bar at initially at 30®C expanding to atmospheric pressure). The system should therefore include provision for the removal of as much water as possible to achieve the required standard, and preferably with features to avoid icing of compressed air tools in winter conditions
Performance is to be outlet air purity to BS ISO 8573-1 class 3 or better.
Screw fittings must be to the metric international standard eg
ISO/BS 2779-NF EO3-005 DIN 3852 Pg. 2 (Parallel Threads)
BS21-IS07, DIN 3852 (Taper Threads)
ISO 6149 DIN 3852
.

Outline Technical Specification
Technical Performance
Two systems are to be considered:- small & large.

Outline technical Specification small large
Flow FAD @ STP Cubic Feet /min (CFM) 44 75
Flow FAD @ STP m3/min 1.28 2.18
Mass Flow kg/min 1.55 2.64
Oil flow litres/ min ( l/min) 20 30
Oil: air ratio m/m 12.9 : 1 11.36 : 1
Oil air compressor exit temperatures 95⁰C 110⁰C
Total oil volumes max litres 4 5

Oil Aerosol droplet size not fully determined
For initial design work consider the following log normal distribution curve for droplet size.

(Ref paper for this source USA military )
Maximum working pressures for each system is 12 bar, with normal operation at 8 to 10bar.
Air : Oil separation to be better than :- ISO8573-1 Class 3 and preferably up to class 2 to minimise oil consumption to achieve a service life of over 2,000 hours.

 

Water separation to be better than :- ISO8573-1 Class 3 and preferably up to class 2 to minimise icing on compressed air tools in winter conditions.

 

 

Max air pressure drop (dP) across the separation units at full flow 50mbar
Air purity will be dictated by the inlet air filter but care must be taken to ensure that metallic particle is the ISO 8573-1 class 3 quality.

 

 

Pressure Vessel Design Safety standards

The pressure vessel will be E or CE marked to BS ISO 13445 or the simple pressure vessel directives which ever applies. The tank will be drained of compressed air when not in use and hence transport pressure directives do not apply

Pressure vessel safety legislation
The design of the pressure vessel must meet also ISO and safety standards particularly BS ISO 13445 Pressure Vessel design, Pressure vessels directives 97/23/EC & 87/404/EEC and BS ISO 4126 Safety Devices.
It is expected that the vessel will exceed the 50 bar. Litres pressure capacity limit thus placing the design in a category 1 class of system to Pressure vessels directive 97/23/EC. ( design max 170 bar.litres and note that larger than this places the design in Class II with a higher inspection classification and hence manufacturing cost)
In category 1 Form A applies, namely the internal production control of the manufacturer.
Suitable quality standards ie ISO 9001 will therefore be required to ensure that legislative quality has been achieved and records such as Conformity of Production (CoP) can be produced for inspection.
A CoP report template should be provided as part of this project work.

Pressure Vessel Safety Devices
The tank will be fitted with at least two pressure relief valves, one of which will be electrically controlled for system overpressure and one will be a mechanical device to prevent gross overpressure. Both devices will be designed to meet BS ISO 4126 standards and may be purchased items.
These devices will be under vehicle body mounted or marine applications and hence must be corrosion resistant (Internal & External) and capable of operating with water ingress as well as with the ambient operating conditions noted in section 2). (Ref:- salt spray testing).

Ambient conditions
Since this unit is to be mounted under vehicle or for marine engine space applications temperatures of up 70⁰C can be expected since engine convective heat can be expected together with tropical ambient applications.
Air intake to the system is not expected to exceed 60⁰C
Humidity max possibility 100% @ 35C {= 26g H2O per kg Air }
Small system = c 2kg H2O per hour
Large system = c 3.4 kg H2O per hour
Minimum working temperature -15⁰C
Minimum storage temperature -35⁰C
The unit will be mounted to the vehicle or boat under frame and hence may experience low amplitude vibrations in the 50 to 200Hz range.
The separator system and all fittings must have corrosion protection for 10 years service life.
Maximum shock load (impact) = 30g
Tilt :- +/- 30⁰ from horizontal in all planes with compounded angles
Note the separation system must be capable of providing both full oil flow whilst maintaining Class 3 air under all tilt and ambient conditions.
This condition must be maintained at full oil capacity (4 or 7 litres)
Size and weight constraints
Under vehicle and marine engine space packaging dictates that size is a major issue, hence the total unit should be no bigger than 150mm dia x 800mm length. Incorporating mounting fittings not greater than 25mm depth.
The oil filter housing should allow for ease of servicing and free access for the removal of the filter.
The unit would be bracket mounted to specific vehicles or marine applications so provision must be made in the design for these additional supports.
Minimum weight is required to avoid any impact on the load carrying capacity of the vehicle or boat stability.
Special considerations
Cost is a critical issue and manufacturing methods should be considered around 5,000 to 10,000 units per annum.
Parts to be produced to ISO9001 QA standards
Corrosion protection (Internal & External) to suit under vehicle and marine use for at least 10 years. (Look for salt spray testing)

Oil Filtration
Oil flow 20 l/min and 30 l/min.
Filtration level is to be 5μm or better (99% cut off point) (Ref Fram, K&N, & other manufacturers)
The filter will be a spin on cartridge design, suitable for 2,000 hours operational life. ( This can be a purchased item)
Oil filter temperatures 90⁰C and 110⁰C max
Max working oil pressure 12 bar, (175 psi) (note safety & burst pressures are typically 2 to 3 times higher than MWP)
Elastomer seal used must be capable of > 4,000 hr life under these conditions. Seals must meet oil compatibility (seal swell and hardening) standards >4,000 hrs.
Oil 100% Synthetic PAG and POA types

Budgeting for Public Management

Department of Public Administration
College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs
University of Illinois at Chicago

PA 504: Budgeting for Public Management
Snyder—Fall 2014
CLASS PROJECT—THIRD TASK

The third task involves debt and the borrowing practices of the city. What is the total amount of outstanding debt for the city? How much is in general obligation bonds, revenue bonds, etc.? Howaredebt service costs distributed over time? What is their share of the budget in the past few years? How are the proceeds of debt used? If it is used for refinancing, is it used to reduce interest costs? Is it used to extend the term of the debt? How do principal payments (no interest payments) compare to depreciation costs for the past several years and in the future? What are the plans for construction of capital projects and issuing of debt in the future? You will most likely need to look at the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). What are the city’s’ needs and priorities? Does the city appear to have the capacity to build needed facilities and issue the required debt? What is the city’s bond rating? Has it changed in recent years?
Also review the city’s debt and capital planning policies. Does it have a policy for the use of debt proceeds? For the term of debt?For using current revenues and reserves to finance capital projects instead of debt?For issuing and underwriting debt?For the evaluation of capital projects?Do the policies seem reasonable and adequate?
The emphasis of the first task was primarily descriptive and the gathering of information. The emphasis of the second task was evaluation, analysis and reform. For these two tasks the focus was on the operating budget. The focus of the third task is the capital planning and budgeting process. The final part of the third task should be an analysis of capital budgeting practices and the relationship between the operating and capital budgets. Has the city underfund or defer capital projects because of operating needs and limited revenues? What are the consequences of such practices? How does the city deal with trade-offs between capital and operating needs?

Knowledge Management / Expert Systems

this context, an ??&#65533;expert system’ is an information system, or application, that dynamically simulates the advice that would be given by a human expert when asked about a ??&#65533;problem’ related to their field of expertise. For example, an expert HR consultant might be asked how much severance needs to be paid to an employee being dismissed. The HR consultant would ask the ??&#65533;client’ a series of questions such as … is there a union contract? Is the company governed by provincial or federal employment standards? How long has the employee worked for the company? How much money does the employee make? What is their job title or level? Why are they being let go? … and so on. At the end of the series of questions, the human expert would answer the question. He or she, for example, might say … “Well, given the circumstances you’ve indicated, I would recommend a severance payment of six months salary.” A good expert system would ask a user the same kind of questions and provide the same answer as a human expert.
In doing this assignment you should start with a problem to be solved. It should be the kind of problem someone might discuss with an expert. For example:
What kind of skateboard should I buy? (ask a expert skater)
i.e. Purpose of skating, weather, street or park, etc.
What make-up or fabric colours look best on me? (ask a fashion consultant / expert)
i.e. Skin tones, shape of face, body, etc.
How should I dress for a meeting with the Queen? (ask an expert in etiquette or protocol)
i.e. Is is a dinner or ceremony, morning or evening, formal or informal, etc.
Assume that a human ??&#65533;user’ will ask this question of your ??&#65533;expert system’. Your job, then, is to create a series of questions that will result in the system answering the question. The ??&#65533;answer’ of course, will vary depending on the answers provided by the user. That is, the expert solution will change if different users answer the questions differently.
Steps:
1. Design and build a web-based expert system as a series of hyperlinked pages. You can use HTML, XML, MS Word … or any other tool you know how to use (e.g., Adobe Dreamweaver, CorelDRAW, iWeb, etc.) to develop your web-based expert system. Each individual question or outcome must be on a separate page. The minimum number of webpages required is 80. The pages should be linked and organized in a file or folder (e.g. a USB memory stick) that can be easily read by a web browser.
2. During the second-to-last class (the last class prior to the final exam). Prepare a six-minute class presentation during which you will explain what your expert system does … and what problem it is designed to solve. You will be expected to demo your system using members of the audience as ??&#65533;users’ and answer questions.
3. Immediately before you deliver your class presentation and do your demo, submit a written report. The report should be double spaced and follow the following format:
• Cover page – the template is attached – see below
• Executive Summary – an overview and summary of your report
• Introduction – What is the problem you are trying to solve? Why did you pick that problem? Where did your idea come from? Is it an important or series problem? Why? Do other expert systems exist which are similar to yours?
• Knowledge Engineering – Who was the human expert whose knowledge you used to create your system? How did you go about documenting this knowledge? Did you need to do any additional research? How do you know your expert’s solutions are correct? Did you test them or validate them in any way? Did you talk with more than one expert?
• Methodology – How did your team manage the project of creating the system, preparing the presentation and writing this report? Include a work breakdown summary, a GANTT Chart and a PERT diagram.
• Technical Overview Provide an outline of your system. How was it built? What tools were used? How was it tested? If there were problems, how were they fixed?
