Analyses for test weight, 500-kernel weight, protein content, ash content, and hardness characteristics of fractions ot 13 samples of hard red winter wheat, obtained b>spectrometric separation, revealeci high negatile correlations in most cases between plumpness factors and protein and ash contents, and high positive correlations between plumpness factors and hardness, when the latter is determ...

Quaternized palm kernel shell was successfully prepared by reacting with N-(3-chloro-2hydroxypropyl)trimethylammonium chloride in basic condition. Adsorption experiments of Reactive Red E (RRE) dye were carried out in single batch system studied at various initial concentration, contact time and pH at 25°C. It was found that at pH 4 quaternized palm kernel shell showed the highest dye removal p...

Hybrid composites are characterized by a variety of properties that are of interest to automotive applications, including strength, mechanical, and thermal properties. In this work, palm kernel shell-filled maleated polypropylene composites and palm kernel shell/nanosilica-filled maleated polypropylene hybrid composites were produced using a Brabender Internal Mixer. The results showed that the...

We develop, analyze, and apply a specific form of mixture modeling for density estimation within the context of image and texture processing. The technique captures much of the higher order, nonlinear statistical relationships present among vector elements by combining aspects of kernel estimation and cluster analysis. Experimental results are presented in the following applications: image rest...

This paper presents an experimental study to investigate sustainable alternative ceiling boards using PKS and BS. The were prepared by mixing BS/binder, PKS/binder, PKS/BS/binder at different ratios of 20/80, 40/60, 60/40, 80/20 represented as samples (A1, A2, A3 A4), (B1, B2, B3 B4), (C1, C2, C3 C4) respectively. cast flat press process in rectangular sheet shape mould 187 mm × 125 3 mm, cut i...

The objective of this study was to evaluate total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of leaf and different parts of fruit (hull, shell, and kernel) of Bene in Ilam province. Total phenolic content was determined with the FolinCiocalteu Reagent (FCR); antioxidant activity of methanolic extracts were examined by DPPH (2,2diphenyl1picrylhydrazyl), FRAP (ferric reducing antioxidant power) an...

An anthropological perspective on obesity considers both its evolutionary background and cross-cultural variation. It must explain three basic facts about obesity: gender dimorphism (women greater than men), an increase with modernization, and a positive association with socioeconomic status. Preindustrial diets varied in quality but shared a tendency to periodic shortages. Such shortages, part...

the peak frequency [2]. When the textures are unstable, however, e.g, when peak frequencies have fluctuations, A novel neural network architecture for image simple comparison of the peak outputs may be ineffective. texture classification is introduced. The proposed Kernel The shortcomings of using the peak frequencies of each Modifying Neural Network (KM Net) which incorporates texture classes ...
