Aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of atomization and drying on the functionality of emulsions with an oil/water-interface (o/w-interface) consisting of beta-lactoglobulin (single layer emulsion) and sequentially adsorbed pectins with varying degree of methylation at pH<pI (bilayer emulsions). Thus, the emulsion systems were characterized with respect to their behavior durin...

We investigate the relationship between computable metric spaces (X, d, α) and (X, d, β), where (X, d) is a given metric space. In the case of Euclidean space, α and β are equivalent up to isometry, which does not hold in general. We introduce the notion of effectively dispersed metric space. This notion is essential in the proof of the main result of this paper: (X, d, α) is effectively totall...

Purpose This paper aims to study the impact of human resource heterogeneity on firms’ cash-holding policies. Design/methodology/approach The authors construct a proxy for using dissimilarity in employees’ skill structure between firm and its peers same industry. Findings report evidence that firms with heterogeneous resources hold more cash than other firms. effect is pronounced labor-intensive...

In this study, liquid-liquid extraction process in a Kuhni extraction column was modeled and simulated. A non-equilibrium dynamic model was developed for modeling liquid-liquid extraction processes based on a rate-based model. The model equations are inclusive of partial and ordinary differential equations which were discretized in column height direction. The population balance model was used ...
