Objective Roughness is the main parameter in interlocking bonding mechanism. Yet there is no model designed to evaluate the effect of surface roughness on adhesion of coating materials in pharmaceutical sciences. Materials and Methods In this study polymethyl metacrylate spherical beads with different sizes were poured into 10 mm mold, then it was pressed by hand screw and finally heated to 141...

Samples containing dextran, xanthan, sucrose and IAA were designed to have the same viscosity at a shear rate of 50s but significantly different viscosities at high shear rates (> 1000s). The relationship between high shear rate rheology and flavour perception will be investigated using sensory QDA method. INTRODUCTION Flavour is considered as one of the most important quality attributes that c...

Three replicate trials were conducted to compare sensory descriptive profiles of cooked broiler breast fillets categorized by raw meat color lightness or CIE L* values. In each trial, 20 light, 20 dark, and 30 random fillets (42-d-old birds and deboned at 6 to 8 h postmortem) were obtained from a commercial processing plant. On return to the laboratory, CIE L* a* b* (medial side), pH, and weigh...

Spin–wave devices are regarded as one of themost promising candidates for future computation and data processing. How tomanipulate spin–wave propagation is a key issue in realizing the functionality of these of devices. The existingmanipulationmethods have serious drawbacks for constructing practical spin–wave devices. Here, we propose an approach to harness the amplitude andmode excitation of ...

The objective of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of three surface treatments and two adhesive systems on the shear bond strength of old and freshly placed amalgam. The results suggested that the intact amalgam showed a significantly higher strength than repaired groups and the strongest repaired specimens were made when the amalgam surfaces were roughened with a diamond bur or mi...

Fe-based oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steels are oriented to applications where high operating temperatures and good corrosion resistance is paramount. However, their use is compromised by their fracture toughness, which is lower than other competing ferritic-martenstic steels. In addition, the route required in manufacturing these alloys generates texture in the material, which induces ...
