The by-product from tuna processing is a potential source of edible protein. Therefore, it is very important to extract protein from such raw materials for human food. In this study the optimum pH for protein extraction from tuna by-products was optimized by using isoelectric solubilization and precipitation processes. The Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and the single factor model were used...

The automated extraction of linear features from remotely sensed imagery has been the subject of extensive research over several decades. Recent studies show promise for extraction of feature information for applications such as updating geographic information systems (GIS). Research has been stimulated by the increase in available imagery in recent years following the launch of several airborn...

pectin is used as gelatinizing agent in food industry. in this study pectin was extracted from five commercial sugar beet varieties namely: doroty, rasul, 7112, br1 and ic using pre-hydrolysis technique. experiments were conducted using factorial design to verify the effect of temperature, time, percentage of hcl and water requirements on the extraction rate of pectin. the qualitative factors o...

Image registration is a crucial step in most image processing tasks for which the final result is achieved from a combination of various resources. In general, the majority of registration methods consist of the following four steps: feature extraction, feature matching, transform modeling, and finally image resampling. As the accuracy of a registration process is highly dependent to the fe...

This research is about automatic identification and extraction of person names in Chinese text documents. Solutions to this problem have immediate and extensive applications in many areas especially in Web Intelligent Agents related applications such as Web search engines, Web data mining, and automatic Web information analysis. We have noted that while finite state automata (FSA) based techniq...

lineaments are the most important phenomena of geological exploration of hydrocarbon reservoirs . concepts in order to map the contours of land need so much time and money. one of the most famous methods in lineaments extraction is satellite image processing. in this paper, an overview of lineament extraction methods and a new method based on canny edge detection algorithm is raised. the result...

Virgin olive oil (VOO) is obtained exclusively by mechanical extraction from the olive fruit and can be consumed crude without any further physical-chemical treatments of refining. Its sensory and health properties are intimately linked to its chemical characteristics, in particular to several minor components, which are strongly affected by the operative conditions of oil processing and can th...

BACKGROUND Physical activities are important for children and adolescents, especially asthmatics. A significant proportion is considered less active than their non-asthmatic peers and mother's beliefs about asthma are thought to be a determinant factor.The research objectives were to investigate whether mothers try to impose limitations on the physical activity (PA) of their asthmatic children/...
