Adequate glazing (6-10%) of fish fillets prior to frozen storage protects the final product from dehydration, oxidation and quality loss. Excessive glazing (>12%) on the other hand may significantly affect the economic value and end user satisfaction of frozen fish fillets. This paper describes the optimization, validation and application of a gravimetric procedure for the quantification of the...

Window performance in buildings is very important for energy saving. Many efforts have been made towards saving energy in buildings, and research has focused attention on enhancing the thermal performance of windows. Vacuum glazing has attracted much interest as a means of enhancing the thermal performance of windows by strengthening insulation performance. However, the performance of vacuum gl...

Current specifications for glazing in the 2000 IECC code adopted by Texas imply the use of low-E glazing. However, the trends in the development of high­ performance glazing technology indicate that windows have the potential to provide net positive energy benefits making it inevitable for future versions of the IECC to incorporate high-performance glazing. This study examines the performance o...

Glazing is a process used to reduce undesirable drying or dehydration of fish during frozen or cold storage. To evaluate the effect of the time/ temperature binomial of the cryogenic frozen tunnel in the amount of glazing watera Central Composite Rotatable Design was used, with application of the Response Surface Methodology. The results reveal that the time/ temperature obtained for pink cusk-...

Building facades in commercial and residential buildings in Australia, UK and elsewhere are highly vulnerable to terrorist threats involving explosive blast loading. The modelling of consequences to built infrastructure when subject to blast loading is well developed; however, considerable uncertainty remains with respect to system response and explosive loading parameters. In this paper, struc...

Increased global urbanization has caused tall buildings to become an inevitable building form making the façade and especially the glazing areas of paramount importance for the overall heat loss and heat gain of the building. The substantial technological advances in insulating glass and glazing systems made during the past 25 years have improved the possibility for designing well-functioning b...
