due to the need to find new protein sources with considering the fact that the bitter vetch seed has high levels of protein content, physicochemical and mechanical properties of bitter vetch seed and functional properties of its flour were evaluated in this study. the effects of altering the ph on protein solubility, foaming capacity, foaming stability, emulsion capacity and emulsion stability ...

The effect of cooking duration on the chemical, physical and thermal properties of bambara groundnut were investigated. The samples were analyzed for chemical composition, physical properties (length, width, and thickness, arithmetic mean, geometric mean, sphericity, surface area and aspect ratio) and thermal properties (specific heat capacity, thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity). Dat...

A nine-laboratory coordinated study was performed to establish tentative control limits for 75-mu g azlocillin disks tested against the standard control strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853). Control limits for individual tests were 24 to 30 mm (25 to 29 mm for means of five separate tests). To establish interpretive zone standards for 75-mu g azlocillin disks, three separate laboratori...

safflower is a strategic plant regarding to its valuable nutrition value (45% extractable oil) and industrial uses. due to massive import of edible oil to the country as well as high potential for safflower cultivation, the research on production of safflower for oil extrusion purpose is of remarkable importance. the design of various processing and oil extraction units and also their optimizat...

the concept of geometric-arithmetic indices was introduced in the chemical graph theory.these indices are defined by the following general formula:   ( )2( ) uv e g u vu vq qq qga g ,where qu is some quantity that in a unique manner can be associated with the vertex u ofgraph g. in this paper the exact formula for two types of geometric-arithmetic index of vphenylenicnanotube are given.

Let $G$ be a finite and simple graph with edge set $E(G)$. The second geometric-arithmetic index is defined as $GA_2(G)=sum_{uvin E(G)}frac{2sqrt{n_un_v}}{n_u+n_v}$, where $n_u$ denotes the number of vertices in $G$ lying closer to $u$ than to $v$. In this paper we find a sharp upper bound for $GA_2(T)$, where $T$ is tree, in terms of the order and maximum degree o...
