This work presents a theoretical model describing the transport phenomena involved in food cooking. Aim of the study is to determine the influence of some of the most important operating variables, especially humidity and temperature, of drying air on the performance of cooking process of pork meat. Thermal processes are increasingly important in determining the safety and quality of retail pro...

We investigate the common and integrated dynamic decision making of the coordinator of a supply chain consortium together with a subordinate fleet managing agent offering transport services for the consortium. While the fleet manager aims at minimizing the costs of the generated transport processes, the goal of the coordinator is to keep the reliability and stability of the processes on a reaso...

Swift changes in the regulations and the organization of the transport sector make innovation an absolute necessity. A company’s ability to cope with these changes depends largely on the learning capacity of the organization. Therefore in the transport case described in this paper the company decided that reengineering of the learning strategy was needed to handle the needs of their mobile work...

In this paper, analysis and simulation of Media Gateway Controller (MEGACO) based COPS (Common Open Policy Server) which is a protocol defined in IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) to transport configuration requests and deliver the policies is presented. For this scenario, three queuing models include M/M/1, M/M/c and M/D/c were applied . Then, some of the key performance benchmarks look l...

The processes that govern the regulated transport of long-chain fatty acids across the plasma membrane are quite distinct compared to counterparts involved in the transport of hydrophilic solutes such as sugars and amino acids. These differences stem from the unique physical and chemical properties of long-chain fatty acids. To date, several distinct classes of proteins have been shown to parti...
