In this study, the effect of some processing parameters on bulk density, particle density, particle size and some of powder reconstruction properties such as dispersibility, Wettability and water solubility index of spray dried barberry (Berberis vulgaris) juice powders were investigated. A Pilot Spray Dryer (Two- Flow nozzle, counter- current, one cyclone) was employed for the spray d...

given the importance of sustainable agricultural development, using non-chemical weed management such as cover crops and decreasing row spacing has an importance in weed control and reducing herbicide use. in order to an experiment was conducted at agricultural research site in agricultural college, university of mohaghegh ardabili in 2011. the experiment done as factorial based on randomized c...

Southern China hosts coral communities in marginal environments that are characterized by low linear extension rates, low coral cover and/or no reef formation, thus providing natural laboratories to study coral communities with below average growth rates. Here we compare the annual linear extension rates over 10 years (range 1.2 to 11.4 mm yr-1) of six Porites sp. coral cores collected from Hon...

Tropical and subtropical dry forest life zones support forests with lower stature and species richness than do tropical and subtropical life zones with greater water availability. The number of naturalized species that can thrive and mix with native species to form novel forests in dry forest conditions in Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands is lower than in other insular life zones. These no...

in order to investigate the effects of input intensity on species diversity, composition and density of weeds in corn (zea mays l.), an experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran during the year 2009. treatments included low input, medium input and high input systems. low...

We study an abstract optimization problem arising from biomolecular sequence analysis. For a sequence A of pairs (ai, wi) for i = 1, . . . , n and wi > 0, a segment A(i, j) is a consecutive subsequence of A starting with index i and ending with index j. The width of A(i, j) is w(i, j) = ∑ i≤k≤j wk, and the density is ( ∑ i≤k≤j ak)/w(i, j). The maximum-density segment problem takes A and two val...

The Maximum Density Sill-Life Problem is to fill an n × n board of cells with the maximum number of live cells so that the board is stable under the rules of Conway’s Game of Life. We reformulate the problem into one of minimising “wastage” rather than maximising the number of live cells. This reformulation allows us to compute strong upper bounds on the number of live cells. By combining this ...

We propose a method to calculate the QCD level density directly from the thermodynamic quantities obtained by lattice QCD simulations with the use of the maximum entropy method (MEM). Understanding QCD thermodynamics from QCD spectral properties has its own importance. Also it has a close connection to phenomenological analyses of the lattice data as well as experimental data on the basis of ha...

A geographic information system was constructed using maps of regional environmental features, Schistosoma mansoni prevalence in 30 representative municipalities, and snail distribution in Bahia, Brazil to study the spatial and temporal dynamics of infection and to identify environmental factors that influence the distribution of schistosomiasis. Results indicate that population density and the...
