Superheated steam drying technique has been known for a long time, but its application to food drying has received little attention. In this work, superheated steam was applied to dry fresh parsley (Petroselinum Cripsum). A mathematical model to simulate this drying process was developed by using mass and energy conservation equations for solid and steam phases. The resulting partial differenti...

OBJECTIVES To determine the effect of a 12-week intervention to improve the ability of disabled older adults to rise from a bed and from a chair. DESIGN Subjects were randomly allocated to either a 12-week task-specific resistance-training intervention (training in bed- and chair-rise subtasks, such as sliding forward to the edge of a chair with the addition of weights) or a control flexibili...

A total of 48 experiments were conducted to investigate the impact slit weir dimensions and locations on maximum scour depth area created upstream. The model was a 110 mm opening, it installed at end working section in laboratory flume. flume 10.0 m long, 30 cm wide, deep, almost middle. It includes 2 with mobile bed thickness. In bed, two types nonuniform sand (with geometric standard deviatio...

This study utilized a two-dimensional numerical viscous wave tank to simulate the run-up and run-down processes of non-breaking solitary waves on steep seawall. The research aimed investigate transformation between potential energy kinetic energy, evolution mechanisms flow fields, correlation dynamic pressure gradient reverse near sloping bed. model results were consistent with laboratory measu...

The Minaret of Dhu Al-Kifil Nabi (PBUH), located in the city Kifil with a height about 25 meters, is one historical monuments Iraq. 4.5 degree deviation this has become challenge for authorities recent years. Various reasons, such as old age building and manipulation soil minaret bed, damage structure have caused it to deviate from vertical direction form cracks at its height. A temporary metal...
