in the present study, shearing properties of sugar cane stems were determined at five moisture content levels (46, 54, 62, 70 and 78% wb), three shearing speed (5, 10 and 15 mm min-1) and at ten positions on the stem. for measuring the shearing forces, the stems were severed by using a computer aided cutting apparatus. decrease in moisture content of stem from 78 to 46% wb led to 16.3 and 16.7%...

The symmetrical immune network theory has been developed since 1975 and is based on the existence of specific T cell factors. The existence of specific T cell factors is controversial. We confirm the existence of these specific immune system components by demonstrating that a rigorous 1975 experiment by Takemori and Tada can be reproduced. We also briefly review how specific T cell factors play...

environmental pollution by 2,4-dicholorphenol (2,4-dcp), commonly found in industrial wastewater has been a concern for humans over the past 50 years. garden radish peroxidase (grp) can eliminate this poisonous pollutant. the aim of this study was to apply an experimental response surface methodology (rsm) and central composite design (ccd) to optimize grp-based treatment in order to maximize ...
