R. Kruzel, M. Suliga, Czestochowa University of Technology, Czestochowa, Poland Steel tire cord, springs and rope wires belong to the group of metal products from which the low residual stresses are required. In this paper the eff ect of multiple bending of wire on residual stresses of high carbon steel wires has been assessed. It was found that the application of the multi-roller straightening...

Contents of total polyphenols, condensed tannins and proanthocyanidins, and their stability to various pH values and temperatures were studied in Mexican blueberry, cuautecomate fruit, garambullo fruit, aubergine, coffee pulp and residues of black grapes. Several aqueous extracts, obtained through a one-pass-extraction process, were analyzed using liquid chromatography in order to quantify the ...

In the past few decades, there is increasing trend to use products from natural resources. Dyes obtained from natural sources are among such products. The present research mainly focuses on optimization of extraction conditions during a natural dye extraction from the flower petals of a tree ‘Flame of Forest’. Taguchi technique was employed for optimization of the parameters namely raw dyestuff...

The patches of the rice paddies are generally positioned by a traditional surveying method such as Plane Table and Total Station in Korea. This study has been undertaken to check whether TLS (Terrestrial Laser Scanner) could meet the accuracy standard, compare TLS survey data with those one of the new modern survey technologies such as digital aerial photogrammetry and RTK GPS. As a result, it ...
