We aimed to have a motor with the same aspirating power of the CDC-BP because blowers that have more suction generally injure or kill mosquitoes (Clark et al. 1994 (link)). We measured the aspiration power of a brand-new CDC-BP (John W.Hook, Gainesville, FL) and of the Prokopack at 0, 5, and 10 cm from end of collection cup by using a hand-held digital wind gauge (Kestrel 4000; Kestrel Meters, Sylvan Lake, MI). For each aspiration device and distance, we recorded the average wind speed over a 1-min interval for a total of 10 repetitions.
From 24 November 2008 to 11 March 2009, two combined sewer overflow (CSO) tunnels (Greensferry and Tanyard Creek) in Atlanta, GA, were visited to collect overwintering mosquitoes by using one Prokopack in the upper walls (above 1.5 m) and ceiling and one CDC-BP in the lower walls (<1.5 m). Seven 10-m sections of the tunnels (three in Greensferry and four in Tanyard) were carefully aspirated by three field technicians with the aid of flashlights to spot overwintering mosquitoes. Collection effort was fixed (≈20 min per tunnel section) for each aspirator. We aimed to assess how our collections could be improved by aspirating on the upper wall and ceiling. The tunnel concrete surface walls were uneven and required maneuvering around pipes and drains, the ceilings were high (up to 5 m), and some surfaces were partially wet. Collected mosquitoes were kept alive in glass breeding chambers (30×30×30 cm) containing a 10% sucrose solution and then identified by species and individually stored at −80°C for further virus testing.
During 7–22 May 2009, a paired trial between the Prokopack and the CDC-BP was performed in 71 houses in Iquitos, Peru. Randomly selected houses were visited by two field technicians who tested the performance of each mosquito aspirator in indoor collections. At each house, a collection sequence alternating the use of the CDC-BP and the Prokopack in the lower (<1.5 m) walls and furniture was followed. After using one of the aspirators (e.g., Prokopack), the same technician was in charge of repeating the collection with the alternative aspirator (e.g., CDC-BP), making sure to cover a similar area as in the initial collection. Concurrently with the lower wall collections, a Prokopack with an extension pole was used to collect the mosquitoes resting on the higher (>1.5 m) walls and the ceiling. Collection effort in each house was fixed (≈10 min) for each aspirator. Aspiration was performed in all rooms and hallways of each house as described by Scott et al. (2000) (link) and collected mosquitoes were processed as described above. In a first assessment, we found several damaged mosquitoes, because the collection cups were too close to the aspirator fan. We fixed this problem by adding a rigid wire transversally at 2.5 cm from the end of the rubber coupler (see 2b in Fig. 1A).

An advanced imaging software package (Mirada RTx 1.6, Mirada Medical, Oxford, UK) was used for importing, exporting and contouring purposes. The shredded rubber and ABS20 cartridges of the CCR phantom were predominantly used. The rubber cartridge was chosen because it was reported to have HU values characteristics similar to non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumors.15 (link) An automatic contouring tool in Mirada RTx was used to contour ROIs. A spherical ROI of volume 4.2 cm3 was contoured on the central region of each cartridge and kept identical across all scanners. Radiomics features were extracted using an in-house program. The features were composed of shape descriptors (10), intensity histogram statistics (16), gray level co-occurrences matrices (GLCM, 24), grey level run length matrices (GLRLM, 11), grey level size zone matrix (GLSZM, 11), neighborhood grey tone difference matrix (NGTDM, 5), fractal dimensions (8) and intensity histogram wavelets (128) for a total of 213 features. Intensity volume histograms were used to calculate the first order features. Second order features based on GLCM were initially developed by Haralick et al.24 , 25 These features were implemented in our program as described by Aborisade et al.26 Volumetric interpretation of texture features were given by Arati et al.27 GLCM features provide spatial dependence of neighboring voxels as described by Oliver et al.28 (link) GLRLM features were implemented according to definitions provided by Galloway, Chu et al., and Dasarathy and Holder.29 –31 GLSZM and NGTDM based features were first developed by Thibault et al., and Amadasun et al. respectively.32 , 33 Fractal dimensions features were calculated as described by Sarkar et al., and Jin et al.,34 , 35 A biorthogonal basis function was applied to the original and resampled CT images. A combination of a one-dimensional low pass and a high pass filters applied to a three dimensional image generated 8 wavelet filtered data sets. The first order wavelet features were then extracted from these data sets as described by Aerts et. al.3 Sixty four equispaced gray levels (Ng = 64) were used to discretize the intensities of image voxels for calculating all features unless otherwise specified.

The tACS was applied via two surface conductive-rubber electrodes (5 × 7 cm) enclosed in saline-soaked sponges (Neuroconn, Ilmenau, Germany) centered at Cz and Oz underneath the EEG recording cap (see Figure 2A). Stimulation electrode positions were chosen in order to affect the occipital cortex (Figure 1). The impedance was kept below 10 kΩ. An alternating, sinusoidal current at the IAF of each participant was applied using a battery-operated stimulator system (Eldith, Neuroconn, Ilmenau, Germany). The intensity of the sinusoidal current was adjusted individually to the highest intensity at which the stimulation was not noticed by the participants. To obtain this threshold, we started with an intensity level of 1500 μA (peak-to-peak). If the subject indicated no skin sensation or phosphene perception, we increased the intensity in steps of 100 μA. As soon as the participant either indicated skin sensation or phosphene perception, we decreased the intensity in steps of 100 μA. Each intensity step was applied for approximately 20 s, without fade-in/out. The obtained threshold level was used as stimulation intensity. The experimental group received 20 min of stimulation. In the beginning, and at the end, the stimulation was faded-in and faded-out for 10 s. In the control group, sham stimulation was applied. While all other stimulation parameters were the same as in the experimental group, the control group received only 30 s of stimulation, a procedure that has been used in previous studies (e.g., Polania et al., 2012 (link)).

Height and diameter at breast height (DBH) of all trees and palms in the core plots were recorded. Wood density was determined for cores of 208 trees (10 each in rainforest and jungle rubber plots, five each in rubber plantations). Interpolated values were applied for the remaining trees based on a calibration equation with pin penetration depth. Rainforest understorey trees with a diameter of 2–10 cm were inventoried in the same way on two subplots in each plot. Above-ground biomass, coarse-root and root stock biomass were modelled using standard allometric equations [43 (link)–47 ]. Fine-root biomass was assessed separately using 10 vertical soil cores (3.5 cm in diameter) down to 50 cm soil depth including the organic layer on each plot, from which all fine-root segments longer than 1 cm were extracted. The C concentration of all components (stem wood, fine roots and leaf litter) was analysed with a CN Analyser (Vario EL III, Hanau, Germany).

A typical protocol for the synthesis of a PNAEP80 (mean DP=80) homopolymer is as follows: NAEP (1.00 g, 5.46 mmol), DDMAT RAFT agent (24.9 mg, 68.2 μmol; target DP=80) and AscAc (2.4 mg, 13.6 μmol; DDMAT/AscAc molar ratio=5.0) were weighed into a 14 mL vial charged with a magnetic flea and degassed with nitrogen in an ice bath for 30 min (reaction solution 1). Deionized water (0.6873 g, corresponding to a 60% w/w solution), and KPS (3.7 mg, 13.6 μmol; DDMAT/KPS molar ratio=5.0) were weighed into a separate 14 mL vial (reaction solution 2), sealed using a rubber septum and degassed with nitrogen in an ice bath for 30 min. After 30 min, the vial containing reaction solution 1 was immersed in an oil bath set at 30° C. Following this, reaction solution 2 was added to this vial via a degassed syringe and needle to reaction solution 1 under nitrogen. The polymerization was monitored for 5 min, resulting in a final monomer conversion of 99% as judged by 1H NMR spectroscopy. DMF GPC analysis indicated an Mn of 12,300 g mol−1 and an Mw/Mn of 1.15. Targeting mean DPs of above 150 required reaction times of up to 60 min for high conversion.

The present example described the preparation of an HMG glucoside for use in a flavor composition through the hydrolysis of cocoa bean liquor made from West African cocoa beans.

Reagents: A solution of 4N HCl was prepared by adding 100 mL 34-37% HCl in a 250 mL volumetric flask and filling it with water. A solution of 4N NaOH was prepared by dissolving 80 g NaOH pellets in 500 mL of water in a volumetric flask.

Method: Cocoa liquor was run through a sieve and 30.09 g of fine powder was weighed into a 500 mL 3-neck round-bottom flask. The liquor was dissolved in 4N HCl (200 mL) and a stir bar was added to the flask. The sample was stirred at room temperature until the liquor was fully dispersed and flowed freely. A condenser was affixed to the flask and held at 8° C. A digital thermometer was pierced through a rubber stopper to measure the temperature of the solution. The third neck was plugged with a rubber stopper. The flask was wrapped in aluminum foil and heated to approximately 106° C. using a heating mantle. The sample was refluxed for 4.5 hours and left to cool to room temperature. The sample was transferred to a 1 L beaker and neutralized to pH 7 with 4N NaOH using a digital pH meter (pH 6.98 @29° C.). The sample was divided equally into 4 250 mL centrifuge tubes and centrifuged for 10 minutes @ 4500 rpm. The supernatant was filtered under vacuum through a Buchner funnel. The filtrate was then transferred to 2 32 oz plastic containers and lyophilized (yield 52.50 g).

1. Hydrolysis of Cocoa Powder

    • Preparation: A solution of 4N HCl was prepared by adding 100 mL 34-37% HCl in a 250 mL volumetric flask and filling it to the line with water. A solution of 4N NaOH was prepared by dissolving 80 g NaOH pellets in 500 mL of water in a volumetric flask.
    • Procedure: Cocoa liquor made from Theobroma cacao cocoa beans was run through a sieve and 30.09 g of fine powder was weighed into a 500 mL 3-neck round-bottom flask. The liquor was dissolved in 4N HCl (200 mL) and a stir bar was added to the flask. The sample was stirred at room temperature until the liquor was fully dispersed and flowed freely. A condenser was affixed to the flask and held at 8° C. A digital thermometer was pierced through a rubber stopper to measure the temperature of the solution. The third neck was plugged with a rubber stopper. The flask was wrapped in aluminum foil and heated to approximately 106° C. using a heating mantle. The sample was refluxed for 4.5 hours and left to cool to room temperature. The sample was transferred to a 1 L beaker and neutralized to pH 7 with 4N NaOH using a digital pH meter (pH 6.98 @ 29° C.). The sample was divided equally into 4 250 mL centrifuge tubes and centrifuged for 10 minutes @ 4500 rpm. The supernatant was filtered under vacuum through a Buchner funnel. The filtrate was then transferred to 2 32 oz plastic containers and lyophilized.

2. Ethanol Extraction of Hydrolyzed Cocoa Powder

    • The hydrolyzed cocoa powder was extracted with ethanol to remove a bulk of the salts generated during neutralization. Hydrolyzed cocoa powder (50.36 g) was divided equally into 2 500 mL centrifuge tubes. Ethanol (200 mL) was added slowly to each tube as to not disturb the sample. The samples were shaken for 15 minutes on an autoshaker and then centrifuged for 10 minutes @4500 rpm. The supernatant was decanted into a 1000 mL round-bottom flask. The residue was scraped off the bottom of the tubes and redissolved in ethanol (200 mL each). The samples were shaken for 15 minutes on an autoshaker and then centrifuged for 10 minutes @ 4500 rpm. The supernatant was combined with the previous supernatant and evaporated under reduced pressure to remove all organic solvent. The remaining solids were redissolved in approximately 100 mL deionized water and lyophilized.

3. SPE (Solid Phase Extraction) Fractionation of HCP (Hydrolysed Cocoa Powder) Ethanol Extract

    • The extract previously obtained was further fractionated to exhaustively remove the salts and hydrophilic molecules. HCP ethanol extract was transferred to 14 glass vials (approximately 0.5 g each, 20 mL volume) and dissolved in DI water (10 mL). The samples were shaken until dissolved (approximately 1 minute). The samples were filtered through a syringe and PTFE filter to remove particulates as necessary. A solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridge (20 g/60 mL, C18 stationary phase) was conditioned sequentially with DI water (100 mL), methanol (100 mL), and DI water (100 mL). The sample (10 mL) was then loaded onto cartridge and washed with DI water (100 mL) and extracted with methanol (100 mL). The cartridge was reconditioned and the remaining 13 samples were washed and extracted as previously described. The organic solutions were combined and rotary evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was redissolved in DI water and lyophilized using a Labconco freeze dryer. The sample was separated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to narrow down the taste-active molecules of interest.

1. Liquid/Solid Extraction of Liquor

    • Cocoa Liquor made from cocoa beans sourced from Papua New Guinea (PNG liquor) (600 g) was frozen in liquid nitrogen and ground into a fine powder with a laboratory mill. The powder was divided equally into six plastic centrifuge tubes (500 mL volume). Each sample (100 g PNG liquor) was extracted with diethyl ether (200 mL) for 15 minutes using an autoshaker to remove the fat. After centrifugation (10 min, 4500 rpm), the supernatant was discarded. The extraction process was repeated three more times for a total of four times. The remaining defatted liquor was left to air dry in a fume hood overnight. Defatted liquor (200 g) was divided equally between four plastic centrifuge bottles (250 mL volume). To each sample (50 g defatted PNG liquor), 150 mL 70:30 acetone:water was added. The bottles were placed on an autoshaker for 15 minutes. Each sample was centrifuged (5 min, 3500 rpm) and then the supernatant was vacuum filtered using Whatman 540 filter paper and a Buchner funnel. The residue was freed from the bottom of the bottles by hand and additional 70:30 acetone:water (100 mL) was added to each sample. The samples were shaken for 15 minutes using an auto-shaker. After centrifugation (10 min, 4500 rpm), the supernatant was vacuum filtered again using the same procedure described above. The supernatants from each extraction were combined (˜800 mL) and the residue was discarded. The supernatant was rotary evaporated under reduced pressure and the remaining aqueous solution (˜250 mL) was transferred into a separatory funnel (1000 mL volume). The aqueous solution was washed with Dichloromethane (3×300 mL) to remove any xanthines. The dichloromethane layer was discarded, then the aqueous solution was washed sequentially with n-butyl acetate (3×300 mL), ethyl acetate (3×300 mL), and methyl acetate (3×300 mL) to remove procyanidins. The organic layers were discarded and the aqueous solution (F7) was rotary evaporated under reduced pressure to remove any remaining solvent. The remaining water solution was lyophilized using a Labconco freeze dryer (100×103 mbar, −40° C.). Sensory analysis was performed and the savory attribute was found to be in F7.

2. Solid Phase Extraction (SPE)

    • For removal of any residual salts, treated PNG liquor powder (F7) was transferred to 14 glass vials (20 mL volume, approximately 0.5 g sample in each vial) and dissolved in DI water (10 mL). The samples were shaken until dissolved (approximately 1 minute). A solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridge (20 g/60 mL, C18 stationary phase) was conditioned sequentially with DI water (100 mL), methanol (100 mL), and DI water (100 mL). The vacuum was broken and the sample (10 mL) was then loaded onto cartridge. The vacuum was resumed and the sample was washed with DI water (100 mL). The receptacle flask was changed and the sample was extracted with methanol (100 mL). The cartridge was reconditioned and the remaining 13 samples were washed and extracted as previously described. The organic solutions were combined and rotary evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was redissolved in DI water and lyophilized using a Labconco freeze dryer (100×103 mbar, −40° C.). Sensory analysis confirmed the presence of the savory attribute in the organic fraction.
