This article investigates the nonlinear, steady boundary layer flow and heat transfer of an incompressible Eyring-Powell non-Newtonian fluid from an isothermal sphere with Biot number effects. The transformed conservation equations are solved numerically subject to physically appropriate boundary conditions using a second-order accurate implicit finite-difference Keller Box technique. The influ...

A few previous studies have shown that heat processing may increase the bioavailability of phytate-P in some foodstuffs. Therefore, two chick experiments were conducted to determine the effect of various increased heat processing treatments on bioavailability of P in DDGS. In addition, two precision-fed cecectomized rooster assays were conducted to evaluate the effects of the heat treatments on...

Heat treatment of food-processing facilities involves using elevated temperatures (50-60 degrees C for 24-36 h) for management of stored-product insects. Heat treatment is a viable alternative to the fumigant methyl bromide, which is phased out in the United States as of 2005 because of its adverse effects on the stratospheric ozone. Very little is known about responses of the cigarette beetle,...

the synthesis of titania via sol-gel method has been widely studied. in the present work, titania was deposited onto a titanium substrate via sol-gel method. different processing parameters such as the repetition number of dipping/heat treatment process and dipping time have been studied to obtain the homogenous titania coating. phase and microstructural evaluation of the powder and coating sam...

OBJECTIVE Neuropathic pain (NP) is a common symptom following spinal cord injury (SCI). NP may be associated with altered processing of somatosensory pathways in dermatomes rostral to the injury level. To explore this possibility, the characteristics of contact heat evoked potentials (CHEPs) and quantitative thermal testing (QTT) were studied at and above the lesion level in SCI patients with N...

The degradation and/or isomerisation of lycopene have an important influence on its bioavailability and bioactivities. Existing studies have shown that the configuration profiles and stability of lycopene will be changed because of heat processing, but the relationship between the structure conversion of lycopene and the intensity of heat treatment is yet to be further studied. To simplify the ...
