Within this work, we upscale the equations that describe pore-scale behaviour of nonlinear porous elastic composites, using asymptotic homogenization technique in order to derive macroscale effective governing equations. A hyperelastic composite can be thought as being comprised a matrix interacting with number subphases and percolated by fluid flowing pores (which is chosen Newtonian incompres...

Recently, consumers have become more concerned with foods contain natural ingredients in terms of health and economic. Hence, in this study, the effects of concentrate of smoked and sun dried raisin were investigated at 3 levels (1, 3 and 5%) as a natural humectant to improve the quality and shelf life of flat bread. Results showed that addition of smoked and sun dried raisin improved quality a...

The Oriented FAST and Rotated BRIEF (ORB) algorithm has the problem that extracted feature points are overconcentrated or even overlapped, leading to information loss of local image features. A homogenized ORB using dynamic thresholds improved quadtree method is proposed in this paper, named Quadtree (QTORB). In point extraction stage, a new threshold calculation enhance algorithm’s ability ext...

During the past few years homogenized milk and cream have received considerable attention from research workers. The work of Hill (7, <^, ^)/ Espe and Dye (5), and others on soft-curd milk and its relation to digestibility, together with the work of Washbum and Jones (i^), Washburn {16^ 17)^ and others showing the possibility of producing soft-curd milk with the homogenizer, is bringing homogen...

Introduction: This study was carried out to determine elements (Li, Na, K, Mg, Ca, Ba, B, Al, Si, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Se, Ag and P) in the Suaeda vermiculata (S. vermiculata) and Suaeda aegyptiaca (S. aegyptiaca) in three different regions of Southern Iran using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) after microwave-assisted acid digestion. Materials and ...

The effects of high temperature homogenization and low temperature annealing treatments on the microstructure and magnetic properties of sintered magnets of an Nd17Fe76.5B5Cu1.5 type alloy have been investigated. The microstructure of the as-cast alloy, consisted of three phases including a Nd2Fe14B1 (2:14:1- type) matrix phase Cu-containing Nd-rich Phase and Free α-iron. The as-sintered magnet...
