introduction: raisin is a principal traditional export product of iran and has a special position in the foreign trade of the country.during storage, the product turns sticky and hard due to exudates syrup and moisture loss. to solve this problem, the application of edible coating would be an appropriatesolution. edible coating may enhance the boundary layer resistance resulting to the enhanced...

foaming conditions of the red beet (beta vulgaris l) puree were optimized using response surface methodology (rsm) with respect to arabic gum concentrations (0.01 – 0.4% w/w), red beet puree (40 _ 60% w/w),egg white concentration( 5 _ 15% w/w) and whipping time (3 – 9 min) for minimum foam density and foam drainage volume as response variables. foams were prepared from various pulp concentratio...

[1] Equatorial zonal currents and associated oxygen distributions are studied using shipboard hydrographic data, trajectories from isopycnic floats drifting at about 300 m depth, and velocity time series from the upper 1100 m obtained at two equatorial moorings located at 35 W and 23 W. Mean profiles of zonal velocity measured by moored acoustic Doppler current profilers yielded a westward flow...

The weighted entropy H w φ (X) = H w φ (f) of a random variable X with values x and a probability-mass/density function f is defined as the mean value EI w

Total length (L(T)) (range 24-1000 mm; mean ±S.E. = 170.21 ± 0.36 mm) and mass (W) (range 0.10-9590 g; mean ±S.E. = 76.03 ± 0.87 g) of 36,460 specimens of marble trout Salmo marmoratus were used to compute a standard mass (W(s)) equation for this species by means of the empirical percentile (EmP) method. The EmP W(s) equation calculated was: log(10) W(s) = -5.208 + 3.202 log(10) L(T) - 0.046 (l...

the direct conversion of methane to c2 hydrocarbons, in a quartz tube reactor enforced by a dc corona discharge, was investigated at atmospheric pressure. the process was carried out in the presence of metal oxide catalysts of mn/w/sio2, mn/w/sio2 (tetraethyl orthosilicate, teos), and mn/w/cnt (supported on carbon nanotubes). the total yield to c2 hydrocarbons in the presence of metal oxide cat...

N.sitophila was grown under controlled conditions of solid state and submerged fermentation on Sago hampas. The optimum conditions of protein enrichment previously established for sugar beet pulp was used for this study. Under this condition the protein content of Sago hampas under solid state increased from 1.4 to 14.45% (W/W) whereas for Sago hampas and Sago starch, the protein content under ...

b ac k gr o und: w o lbachia pipientis is maternally inherited endoparasitic bacterium belonging to the α-proteobacteria, infecting 20–75% of all insect species including sand flies. the wolbachia surface protein ( wsp ) was employed as an appropriate marker for strain typing. the objective of our research was to find the possibility of detection of w. p ipientis in phlebotomus perfiliewi trans...

For all $a,b>0$, the following two optimal inequalities are presented: $H^{alpha}(a,b)L^{1-alpha}(a,b)geq M_{frac{1-4alpha}{3}}(a,b)$ for $alphain[frac{1}{4},1)$, and $ H^{alpha}(a,b)L^{1-alpha}(a,b)leq M_{frac{1-4alpha}{3}}(a,b)$ for $alphain(0,frac{3sqrt{5}-5}{40}]$. Here, $H(a,b)$, $L(a,b)$, and $M_p(a,b)$ denote the harmonic, logarithmic, and power means of order $p$ of two positive numbers...
