the objective of this study was to investigate dehydration kinetics of barberry (berberis vulgaris l.) at different drying temperatures (60 ºc, 70 ºc, 80 ºc), air velocities (0.3 m s-1, 0.5 m s-1, 1 m s-1) with two types of pretreatment. drying time and colour quality during dehydration were experimentally determined. barberries were dried from the initial moisture content of 73.44% (w.b.) to t...

this study investigates the influence of some chemical additives such as methanol, ethanol, sodium oleat, chloroform and sodium hexametaphosphate (shmp) on the dry fine grinding of calcite (x50= 33 µm) using a stirred media mill. the experiments were carried out by a batch operation, and the change in colour properties (ry, whiteness and yellowness) of calcite powder. the results showed that th...

pomegranate fruit maturity status is commonly assessed based on external (skin) colour, juice colour and acidity of juice. some researchers have studied the correlation between the parameters of the skin colour and acidity, total soluble solids, citric acid and anthocyanins. this study describes the relationship existing between solar radiation and a colorimetric maturity index in the pomegrana...

Recently developed methods for analyzing mark–recapture data allow simultaneous modeling of information from a variety of animal encounters. Incorporating this extra information in an analysis requires use of a more complicated model but can lead to improved precision of estimates. An important aspect of such joint models is that movement of animals to and from the banding site can be incorpora...

Among the existing weight-loss procedures, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy has gained increasing popularity in the past decade, due to its remarkable results concerning EWL and resolution of comorbidities. Also because it seems fast and easy and doesn’t have the burden of often visits and adjustments as it used to be with the cases of gastric banding. However, most of major concerns for a team ...

We address the problem of fast computation of level set partial differential equations (PDEs) in the context of motion segmentation. Although several fast level set computation algorithms are known, some of them, such as the fast marching method, are not applicable to the video segmentation problem since the front being computed does not advance monotonically. We study narrow-banding, pyramidal...

2. If you found that two sets of chromosomes (one from species "X" and one from species "Y") showed a very close match (in the number of chromosomes and many identical banding patterns), it would be most reasonable to say that... A) one species evolved from the other B) both species evolved from a common ancestor relatively recently C) both species may be distantly related D) their chromosome s...

This special edition 7th GOHNET Newsletter will inform you about new practical tools to assess and manage risks at workplace level based on the concept of “Control Banding”. GOHNET Issue 5 introduced readers to one of these control banding tools, the International Chemical Control Toolkit. This Toolkit responds to the need for practical risk assessment and management approaches that can be appl...
