in some conditions, to avoid deterioration and field losses of soybean seeds (glycine max merr.) from weathering at end of the season, farmers start to harvest seeds with a high moisture content and so, careful post-harvest drying would be required to maintain the physiological quality of seeds. response surface methodology (rsm) was used to optimize the operating conditions of soybean seed dry...

objective(s): response surface methodology (rsm) by central composite design (ccd) was applied to statistically optimize the preparation of rutin-quercetin (ru-qr) dual drug loaded human hair keratin nanoparticles as well as evaluate the characteristics. materials and methods: the effects of three independent parameters, namely, temperature (x1:10-40 c), surfactant (x2: sds (1), sls (2), tween-...

inulin is widely used in functional foods throughout the world for its health-promoting and technological properties. helianthus tuberosus is cultivated widely in the northern part of iran. helianthus tuberosus can be a valuable source of inulin. to optimize conventional extraction of inulin, various combinations of time, temperature, and solvent: solid ratio, were used. in this research, a ser...

gelatin is a protein hydrocolloid. because of its unique characteristics such as gel forming, thickening, stabilizing, emulsifiing, foam and film forming, is widely used in food industries. in this research, in order to optimize the factors which affect enzymatic extraction method of gelatin ,the effects of three variables, enzyme concentrations(2-10 ppm), time(8-16 hours) and temperature(60-80...

this paper presents the findings of experimental investigations into the effects of cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut and approach angle on the machinability of titanium (grade-5) alloy. also the comparison for the two different cutting materials inserts polycrystalline diamond (pcd) and cubic boron nitride (cbn) with similar tool geometry for similar machining parameters is also carried o...

in this article, the effect of parameters like working gap, work piece rotational speed and material removal mechanism(injection of the sic abrasive slurry and al2o3, use of diamond paste as abrasive tool) in magnetic abrasive finishing process using designing of experiments on the external surface of cylindrical work pieces of stainless steel aisi 440c to get minimum surface roughness has been...

this paper presents a hybrid method for the optimization of forging process of an aerofoil blade. preform shape and die parting-line angle are optimized in order to minimize the volume of the unfilled die cavity, material waste, forging forces. the overall optimization scheme used in this research work includes a multi-objective approach that is combination of response surface and finite elemen...
