Sažetak A study of physico-chemical properties and instrumental measurement of colour and texture was carried out on seven different brands of traditional homemade dry fermented horse salami from Pakrac area. Basic physico-chemical properties, pH values and salt content showed significant variability (p = 0.05), except for the values of aw. Textural and colour parameters (L*, a* and b*) also sh...

So far, virtually nothing is known about the mechanical properties of pelvic trabecular bone. In this study, several techniques have been used to establish some insight in these properties. Dual-energy quantitative computer tomography (DEQCT) was used to look at the distribution of bone densities throughout the pelvic bone and nondestructive mechanical testing was used to obtain Young's moduli ...

Objective(s): According to the unique properties of magnetic nanoparticles, Nickel Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOF) was synthesized successfully by ultrasound irradiation. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are organic–inorganic hybrid extended networks that are constructed via covalent linkages between metal ions/metal clusters and organic ligands called a linker. Materials and Methods: The nanopar...

A through wall image enhancement scheme based on Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy system and principal component analysis is proposed. The scheme incorporates spectral properties of image and textural properties of eigen components of image to assign weights. The scheme overcomes the empirical setting of inference engine and output membership functions. Simulation demonstrates the effectiveness of proposed ...

Foods are known to influence jaw elevator muscle activity in chewing. With the long-range goal of gaining insight into force control and modeling muscle recruitment, these initial experiments were performed to determine the textural properties of commonly used test food. Experiments were carried out by means of a standard Instron instrument, equipped with a compression cell. A stylus with 45-de...

This paper describes two examples of real-life applications of texture segmentation using M-band wavelets. In the first part of the paper, an efficient and computationally fast method for segmenting text and graphics part of a document image based on textural cues is presented. It is logical to assume that the graphics part has different textural properties than the non-graphics (text) part. So...

Steam hydration has been proposed as a suitable technique for improving the performance of CaO as a regenerable sorbent in CO2 capture systems. New hydration experiments conducted in this study, confirm the reported improvements in the capacity of sorbents to carry CO2. An examination of the textural properties of the sorbent after hydration and mild calcination revealed a large increase in the...
