Plasmons: quanta for micro-region temperature measurement

An analysis is made of the shifts in the plasmon loss energies for a 1 keV electron beam scattered from pure tin as a function of temperature in ultra-high vacuum. The plasmons in tin are free-electron like an...

Effects of Electrical Stimulation on Meat Quality, Color, Grade, Heat Ring, and Palatability

In the late 1960s, scientists at Texas A&M University (TAMU) developed a process for tenderization of carcasses that was ultimately called “Texas A&M Tenderstretch” (Orts et al. 1971). Despite extensive research ...
