simulation of rough rice drying is one of the proper methods for predicting moisture distribution in the product, and throughout the process of drying. the drying process must be well understood and controlled so that design guidelines which reduce or minimize drying damage to rough rice can be established and improved. therefore, an accurate understanding and description of the drying mechanis...

In this research work, silica nano-porous thin films were deposited on glass substrates by layer by layer method. The thin films were calcinated at various calcination temperatures (200, 300, 400, and 500 °C). The morphology, surface characteristics, surface roughness and hydrophilic properties of the thin films were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy, attenuated total ...

Synthetic dyes comprise a large group of organic, organic salt and organometallic compounds which number in the thousands. Most individual dyes are assigned colour index (CI) numbers which helps to identify structure and properties as well as identity where a series of names have been used by the manufacturers for the same dye. Pigments are also listed and can be either organic or inorganic in ...

Thin plate splines have been used successfully to model curves and surfaces. A new application is in data mining where they are used to model interaction terms. These interaction splines break the \curse of di-mensionality" by reducing the high-dimensional nonparametric regression problem to the determination of a set of interdependent surfaces. However , the determination of the corresponding ...

book through his lucid presentation of much technical data. The discussion of corrosive qualities of water is unusually thorough and explicit as is his discussion of the sanitary significance of impurities in water and on bacterial decomposition of organic matter in water. What might be considered to be a deficiency is the rather limited discussion of waterborne diseases. The liberal footnotes ...
