A series of reverse osmosis (RO) membrane filtration experiments was performed systematically in order to investigate the effects of various hydrodynamic and physicochemical operational parameters on a cake layer formation in colloidal and particulate suspensions. Bench-scale fouling experiments with a thin-film composite RO membrane were performed at various combinations of trans-membrane pres...

During crossflow microfiltration, formation of cake layer on the membrane inhibits the filter performance. Previous studies on cake formation have focused on the monodisperse conditions, although most field applications are under the polydisperse conditions. In this study, microfiltration experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of particle size on cake formation, especially, at pol...

rapeseed is the most widely used oil crop in europe and it is an ideal raw material for the production of biodiesel. because of a high nutritional value and a relatively high omega-3 fatty acids content, rapeseed cake can be used in poultry nutrition for the enrichment of meat and eggs. therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the possibility of using rapeseed cake in diets for turkeys...

Agricultural wastes as Biomass contains low carbon, high hydrogen, oxygen and a lower amount of sulfur. Coals contain higher amounts With the use lignite biomass mixture fuel will provide less CO 2 SO emissions more economical be obtained. Considering these emissions, fluidized bed combustion systems are recommended in literature for biomass. In this study, rice husks, corn cobs, walnut shells,...

Currently more and more agents are involved in human routine activities and a mixed human-agent society is thus formed by the humans and the agents involved. The relationship between humans and agents in this mixed society is subtle and it is vital to explore the influence that agents bring into the society. In this paper, we try to investigate a few questions: will humans act differently towar...

Introduction Integrating by-products into livestock diet represents a great opportunity for implementing the concept of circular economy while reducing feed costs. Olive cake (OC) is considered an agro-industrial waste, but high content valuable metabolites makes it promising integration. Therefore, this study investigated effect OC integration in beef cattle on different blood parameters. Meth...

wheat germ is a by-product of milling industry rich in fiber, tocopherol, unsaturated fatty acids, polyphenol, minerals and protein. in this study, effect of adding raw and stabilized wheat germ on the characteristics of cake batter such as specific gravity, viscosity and cake properties such as volume, apparent density, solid density, porosity, water activity, moisture and firmness was studied...

Comparisons of the physical and sensory properties of several commercial egg alternatives in angel food cake formulation were studied. Fourteen samples were investigated for foaming properties at 10 and 20 min whipping time: collagen, Cryogel gelatin, Solugel collagen hydroysates, gelatin, whey protein concentrate, fish protein, whey protein isolate (95% WPI, 90%WPI), hydrolyzed whey protein is...

This paper discusses cake-cutting protocols when the cake is a heterogeneous good, represented by an interval on the real line. We propose a new desirable property, the meta-envy-freeness of cake-cutting, which has not been formally considered before. Meta-envy-free means there is no envy on role assignments, that is, no party wants to exchange his/her role in the protocol with the one of any o...
