The effects of hydrodynamic pressure processing (HDP) on marination and meat quality characteristics of turkey breasts were investigated. Breast muscles from 45 turkey hens were removed from the carcasses within 30 min postmortem. From each bird, the breast from one side was treated with HDP and the other side served as a nontreated control. Breasts were then marinated in either 15 or 30% brine...

general toxicity, antiproliferative, antibacterial and antioxidant activities of caulerpa peltata j.v.lamouroux (caulerpaceae) collected from oman sea were investigated. dried, ground alga was soxhlet-extracted with hexane, dichloromethane and methanol successively. the methanol extract was subjected to vacuum liquid chromatography (vlc) fractionation on silica gel using a step gradient of diff...

The ever increasing demand of water permits the need of alternative water sources for balancing the water supply and demand. Desalination has become a significant alternative water source due to growing demand of water and inadequate conventional water sources in many countries. Desalination is a process of removing excess salts and other dissolved solids from water in order to get clean water ...

   Graphene oxide nanosheet (GONS) can be a suitable membrane for gas separation with high permeability and selectivity. Separation of N2/CO2 using functionalized GONS was investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. The simulated systems were comprised of two types of GONS with a pore in their center, N2 and CO2 molecules. The selectivity and ...

Carbon capture and subsequent storage (CCS) is identified as a necessity to achieve climate commitments. Permanent of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) in subsurface saline aquifers or depleted oil gas reservoirs feasible, but large-scale implementation such has so far been slow. Although sandstone formations are currently most viable for CO sequestration, carbonates play an important role widespread CCS;...

of high quality at high concentration (2,3). The performance of the membrane-type chlor-alltali plant mainly depends on the cell design, the membrane, the quality of feed brine, and operating conditions. Of these, the brine quality is the key factor affecting the service life and the performIn the case of conversion from amalgam to membrane process, it is important to elucidate the effects of m...

soilless media have different physical properties. change in air space of mix substrate can cause change in fertigation management and plant growth and yield. physical properties (water holding capacity, effective air-filled pore space, effective pore space) of 50 mixed substrates were measured to evaluate the effect of air-filled pore space on growth of tomato transplant and it's water us...

The evolution of the main physico-chemical properties of the unflooded 90-cm-thick first-year sea-ice cover at the Ice Station POLarstern (ISPOL) ‘‘clean site’’ is described. ISPOL was an international experiment of the German research icebreaker R.V. Polarstern. The vessel was anchored to an ice floe for an observation period of 5 weeks, during the early summer melt onset in the Western Weddel...

The low-frequency electrical properties of mixtures of silicates and saline H(2)O were measured over broad ranges of temperature and frequency to assess the subfreezing interactions between these materials synoptically, particularly the effects of adsorbed, unfrozen water. Adsorbed water content was determined using nuclear magnetic resonance. Materials were chosen to control effects of grain s...
