olive oil extraction methods and technology can affect the quality and quantity of the extracted oil. in this study, qualitative and quantitative parameters were investigated for oil extracted using a hammer crusher at 720 and 1450 rpm at 30°, 40°, 60° c mixing temperatures. the data were analyzed using a complete randomized block factorial design using spss software with three replications. th...

This paper deals with a novel interactive approach of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) as an optimization tool for optimizing process parameters of rotary furnace. This approach solves a very challenging problem in the area of rotary furnace i. e. selection of optimal process parameters for producing homogenous quality castings. Rotary furnace involves several critical parameters like flame temp...

Fluorescence polarization (FP) is a fluorescence detection technique that is based on the observation that fluorescent molecules, when excited by plane polarized light, will emit plane polarized light. In solution, proteins are free to rotate, thus the plane of polarized light emitted can change based on the fluorescence lifetime of the fluorophore in question and the extent of rotation the mol...

Rotational constraint representing a local external bias generally has a nontrivial effect on the critical behavior of lattice statistical models in equilibrium critical phenomena. In order to study the effect of rotational bias in an out-of-equilibrium situation like self-organized criticality, a two state "quasideterministic" rotational sandpile model is developed here imposing rotational con...

High cutting speeds and feeds are essential requirements of a machine tool structure to accomplish its basic function which is to produce a work piece of the required geometric form with an acceptable surface finish at as high a rate of production as is economically possible. Since bearings in high speed spindle units are the main source of heat generation. Friction in bearings causes an increa...

Reverse osmosis (RO) is a compact process for the removal of ionic and organic pollutants from contaminated water. However, flux decline and rejection deterioration due to concentration polarization and membrane fouling hinders the application of RO technology. In this study, a rotating cylindrical RO membrane is theoretically investigated as a novel method to reduce polarization and fouling. A...
