Tenderness is the most important organoleptic characteristic of meat, and various methods have been developed to improve it. The purpose of this experiment was to evaluate the effect of different conditioning treatments of broiler carcasses on pH, cooking losses, shear values, R-values, and sensory tenderness of breast meat. All measurements were collected for breast muscle as follows: after 24...

Ageing, and increasing traffic loads, has become a major problem into today bridge industry. These bridges go deficiency in its Load Carrying Capacity from ageing, exhibited excessive deformation which renders the usage to an unacceptable level. will either, impose restriction, or upgrading existing defy these adverse conditions. At Burri Bridge, after 33 years on operation, signs of ageing sho...

Abstract Previous research has evidenced that by adding a ductile reinforcement on the tension side of glass beam, for instance adhesive bonding, its post-cracking behaviour and redundancy were improved, while an additional pre-stressing this further helped to increase initial cracking resistance. Past investigations used steel tendons or stainless strips, which required rather complex setups p...

Congenital flexor tendon contracture in forelimbs is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal abnormalities neonatal calves. This alteration can present mild, moderate and severe forms. Treatment mild condition be by pharmacological therapy physiotherapy; however, cases become complex due to secondary lesions calves difficulty feeding, requiring, cases, surgical intervention. The objective rep...

Newly emergent turkey arthritis reoviruses (TARV) were isolated from tendons of lame 15-week-old tom turkeys that occasionally had ruptured leg tendons. Experimentally, these TARVs induced remarkable tenosynovitis in gastrocnemius tendons of turkey poults. The current study aimed to characterize the location and the extent of virus replication as well as the cytokine response induced by TARV du...

Friction stir welding is an innovative joining process being developed for use in aerospace manufacturing. Like most welding processes there exist problems with post-weld residual stresses and subsequent geometrical distortion. The residual stress-state of a welded component can be modified using suitably applied mechanical tensioning and thus distortion can be reduced or eliminated. In the pre...

The precast concrete shear wall system is becoming very popular in North America for low, medium, and highrise construction due to the economical advantages possible with the ease and speed of assembly, and the high quality of the precast panels. The connections between panels are extremely important since they affect both the speed of erection and the overall integrity of the structure. This p...
