In the present work, detailed studies of 2D TVC are investigated by using both experimental and numerical methods. For an active cavity flow case, the present results reveal that the pressure drop value across the combustor increases with the mainstream Reynolds number (Rems) due to the higher velocity gradient between the cavity and mainstream flow. Experimental results indicate that the norma...

The effects of hesperidin and different casings on pH, moisture content, water-holding capacity, total viable count (TVC) sausages stored for 171 days were evaluated by principal component analysis (PCA) discriminant (DA). Sausages stuffed in a modified casing with treatment B (soy lecithin concentration: 1:30, soy oil 2.5%, lactic acid 21 mL/kg NaCl [solid], treated time: 90 min) had significa...

This study aims to investigate the effects of biofouling-related roughness on a propeller's hydrodynamic and underwater radiated noise (URN) performance. Selected benchmark INSEAN E779A propeller operated in uniform & open water flow under non-cavitating cavitating conditions. The field around was first solved using RANS (Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes) solver. Schnerr-Sauer cavitation model, ...

Several studies have demonstrated that the use of natural preservatives through animal diets could increase the shelf life of meat and meat products since many plant-derived substances show antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. The aim of this work was to study the effect of olive cake dietary supplementation on beef oxidative stability and antimicrobial activity during storage. Beef cattle...

BACKGROUND When the bivalent and the quadrivalent HPV vaccines were marketed they were presented as having comparable efficacy against cervical cancer. Differences between the vaccines are HPV types included and formulation of the adjuvant. METHOD A systematic review was conducted to assess the efficacy of the two vaccines against cervical cancer. Outcomes considered were CIN2+, CIN3+, and AI...

Recent studies have reported that flanking stimuli broaden the psychometric function and lower detection thresholds. In the present study, we measured psychometric functions for detection and discrimination with and without flankers to investigate whether these effects occur throughout the contrast continuum. Our results confirm that lower detection thresholds with flankers are accompanied by b...

This study aims to investigate the application of a fast electronic nose system (Cyranose 320) for detecting foodborne bacteria. The system proved to be very efficient in detecting microbes in beef and sausage samples. In the first part of the study, the total viable counts (TVC) from fresh and frozen beef samples were determined using the standard microbiological method and by the application ...

Background: Aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of chemomechanical caries removal (CMCR) (Papacarie) with that of conventional excavation in reducing the count of the cariogenic flora checked on blood agar plates. Materials and Methods: A total of 40 molar teeth (n = 40) were divided into two groups of 20 teeth each. In the first group, caries was removed using Papacarie gel and in se...
