Lime production is a process that entail complex material and energy transport and chemical reaction. Efficient lime production processes are realized via well structured design models approach . Simulation of such process design models essentially provides Information on the attractive features and technical limitations of such processes which serves as guide for normal operations. The choice ...

In order to investigate the mechanical properties of lime mudstone, conventional triaxial compression tests under different confining pressures (0, 5, 15 and 20 MPa) are performed on lime mudstone samples. The test results show that, from the overall perspective of variation law, the axial peak stress, axial peak strain and elastic modulus of lime mudstone tend to gradually increase with increa...

BACKGROUND The main protective role of antioxidants in the progression of atherosclerosis has been shown in some studies. Therefore, this project evaluated the effects of Citrus aurantifolia (Christm) juice and peel on antioxidant activity and atherosclerosis progression in rabbits receiving a hypercholesterolemic diet. METHODS Forty white New Zealand male rabbits were randomly allocated to f...

In this paper we argue that the notion of transiently shared tuple space, originally introduced by the Lime model and middleware to support application development in mobile ad hoc networks, can be successfully applied also to wireless sensor networks (WSNs). While the two scenarios are similar, the peculiar constraints posed by the WSNs (e.g., in terms of resources and energy) require non-triv...

Lime granule quality inspection is an important task in the pulp and paper industry. In this paper a new method, build-up on a neural network and a path search method, is introduced for lime granule automatic visual inspection. Several correction steps to Landau’s method are also introduced.

Pollution from agriculture has environmental consequences at local and global scales. Managing this pollution is challenging because of diffuse sources and complex relationships between aquatic and atmospheric emissions. We illustrate this for a UK county that has suffered outbreaks of microbial pollution and eutrophication. We surveyed 49 livestock farms covering 12% of total agricultural graz...

In the agricultural industry, plant diseases and pests pose greatest risks. Lime is rich 10 source of vitamin C which works as an immunity booster in human body. Because late manually detection lime causes a vast loss crop production worldwide. The most common are found limes canker, lemon scab, brown rot, sooty mould Armillaria. this paper we used imaging non-imaging (spectral based sensing) m...

Australia is a large exporter of agricultural products, with producers responsible for a range of quality assurance programs to ensure that food crops are free from various contaminants of detriment to human health. Large volumes of treated sewage sludge (biosolids), although low by world standards, are increasingly being recycled to land, primarily to replace plant nutrients and to improve soi...

In the recent years radioecological studies are concentrated on the investigation of restoration possibilities of contaminated ecosystems. These studies are aimed to develop methods for decreasing the bioavailability of the radionuclides released to the environment. Radionuclides of long half-lives, such as 90Sr and 137Cs, are of special importance from the point of human health, since these nu...

The effects of long-term lime and K applications on quantity-intensity (Q/I) relationships were investigated on the Ap and B21t horizons of a Kalmia soil (a fine-loamy over sandy or sandy-skeletal, siliceous thermic (Typic Hapludults) from the Delaware Coastal Plain. The predominant mineral suite of the <2faa clay fraction was mica, vermiculite, and chloritized vermiculite. Soil pH and exchange...
