The normality dependence and the kinetics of flow behavior in the rice starch dispersion under strong alkali conditions were studied. Non-Newtonian flow (power-law) quantities n and μ (σ = μ(̇); σ: shear stress, ̇: shear rate) of the samples stored (gelatinized) at 20◦C for 10min after the addition of NaOH solution with the normality 0.090 0.175N, were measured by a cone-plate type rotational v...

The high cardiac output, arterial blood pressure and cardiac energy demand of tuna make it likely that blood viscosity has an important influence on cardiovascular function. Furthermore, tuna regularly subject themselves to ambient temperature changes of 10°C or more during their daily vertical migrations. They can also maintain muscle temperatures several degrees Celsius above ambient and ...
