Putrescine (Put) increased 68% in lemon (Citrus limon (L.) Burm. f. cv Bearss) flavedo, 39% in grapefruit (C. paradisi Macf. cv Marsh) flavedo, 49% in grapefruit juice, and 149% in pepper (Capsicum annuum L. cv Early Calwonder) pericarp when fruits were stored at chilling temperatures. In lemon flavedo, the coefficient of correlation (r(2)) between Put concentration with severity of chilling wa...

We have implemented and investigated a spatial extension of the original ideal storage model by embedding it in a 2D cellular automaton with a diffusion-like coupling between neighboring cells. The resulting ideal storage cellular automaton model (ISCAM) generates many interesting spatio-temporal patterns, in particular spiral waves that grow and “compete” with each other. We study this dynamic...

The aim of this research was to study S-ovalbumin as a reference index for the freshness of commercial shell eggs in terms of equivalent egg age. The S-ovalbumin content, yolk index, albumen pH, and Haugh units were determined at the storage temperature of 25 and 37°C, respectively, using 85 fresh-laid eggs. A correlation analysis showed a high correlation coefficient of S-ovalbumin content to ...

Through tensile tests of uniaxial and planar type, was proceeded to the mechanical characterization of SBR rubber sheets filled with particles of carbon black. The analysis has allowed defining the elastic features, the storage modulus, the transversal contraction coefficient (both obtained from uniaxial testing) and the shear modulus (from the planar/pure shear tests). Due to the calendering p...

The knowledge of dielectric properties may hold a potential to develop a new technique for quality evaluation of milk. The dielectric properties of water-diluted cow’s milk with milk concentrations from 70% to 100% stored during 36 h storage at 22 C and 144 h at 5 C were measured at room temperature for frequencies ranging from 10 to 4500 MHz using open-ended coaxial-line probe technology, alon...

Most models of neural associative memory have used networks with broad connectivity. However, this seems unrealistic from a neuroanatomical perspective. A simple model of associative memory with emergent properties was introduced by Hopfield [5]. We choose this widely known model to investigate the impact of connectivity on the storage capacity and the retrieval dynamics in artificial associati...

Humans show considerable interindividual variation in susceptibility to weight gain in response to overeating. The physiological basis of this variation was investigated by measuring changes in energy storage and expenditure in 16 nonobese volunteers who were fed 1000 kilocalories per day in excess of weight-maintenance requirements for 8 weeks. Two-thirds of the increases in total daily energy...

In digital storage media, Video segmentation is one of the popular and important techniques.The challenging problem in digital storage media is video segmentation. In this hybrid video segmentation technique, initially similar shots are segmented. Then subsequently the track frames in every shot are assorted using the extracted objects of every frame which highly mostly reduces the processing t...

In this paper the effect of concentration of KOH solution containing 0.02 M borohydride on the electrochemical properties of Ml(NiCoAl) hydrogen storage alloys, including the high rate dischargeability, exchange current density I , limiting current density I , 5 0 L and diffusion of hydrogen in the hydride, by means of linear polarization, anodic polarization, cathodic polarization, and electro...

Flow recession curves of rivers are commonly simulated by the equation of a single linear reservoir which is determined by one parameter, the retention constant. In reality, however, retention-discharge characteristics are hardly linear and recession curves can be approximated only sectionwise by linear reservoirs with retention "constant" values which increase while discharge decreases. In the...
