Oxygen as a Torrefaction Control Parameter

Distance as a control parameter for place kicking

Mally KK, Battista RA, Roberton MA. Distance as a control parameter for place kicking. J. Hum. Sport Exerc. Vol. 6, No. 1, pp. 122-134, 2011. Using a dynamic systems perspective, this study investigated whether distance functioned as a control parameter that might alter children’s place kicking patterns. Nineteen children (mean age = 8.1 years) kicked 3 times at each of 5 randomly ordered dista...

Camphor as a promising insecticude for control

Status overview of torrefaction technologies

Torrefaction ? What ’ s that ?

Torrefaction is a thermo-chemical process that reduces the moisture content of wood and transforms it into a brittle, char-type material. The thermo-chemical process can reduce the mass of wood by 20-30% resulting in a denser, higher-valued product that can be transported more economically than traditional wood chips. Through torrefaction, wood may retain 90% of the energy value. This energy de...

A tri state mechanism for oxygen release in fish hemoglobin: Using Barbus sharpeyi as a model

Hemoglobin is a porphyrin containing protein with an a2b2 tetrameric structure and like other porphyrin compounds shows spectral behavior of species specific characteristics. Researchers tend to relate bands in the hemoglobin spectra to certain structural and/or functional features. Given the fact that hemoglobin is the main oxygen carrier in animals functioning through the Oxy«Deoxy equilibriu...
