Modern Grid middleware is built around components providing basic functionality, such as data storage, authentication, security, job management, resource monitoring and reservation. In this paper we describe the Computing Resource Execution and Management (CREAM) service. CREAM provides a Web service-based job execution and management capability for Grid systems; in particular, it is being used...

Background: Short time preservation of semen is common in animals (e.g. horse or pig etc…) which their sperm in known as freezing sensitive sperm. It also may use for short transportation of other species to be cryopreserved or use in AI or IVF programs. The aim of the present study was to evaluate effects of duration of cool storage on goat epididymal sperm. Materials and Methods: Total number...

the influence of nanoclay on the impact damage resistance of glass fiber–epoxy composites has been investigated using high-velocity repeated ice impact tests. the incorporation of nanoclay into epoxy enhances the impact resistance of the composites. the impact of ice is a realistic scenario for composite structures such as aircraft fuselages, wing skins and fan blades and it is not a completely...

Abstract. On Arctic sea ice, the melt of snow and ice generate a summertime flux fresh water to upper ocean. The partitioning this meltwater storage in ponds deposition ocean has consequences for surface heat budget, mass balance, primary productivity. Synthesizing results from 1997–1998 SHEBA field experiment, we calculate sources sinks produced on multiyear floe during summer melt. total inpu...

A study was performed to apply a probiotic strain into fermented ice cream mix with suitable fruit bases to develop a value-added product with a substantial level of viable organisms for a sufficient shelf life. Pure direct vat strain culture of Lactobacillus acidophilus (LA 5) in freeze-dried form was inoculated into a mixture of ice cream, frozen, and the number of viable organisms during fro...

On Earth today we enjoy a relatively comfortable climate, which is a fortunate consequence of the present extent of the global ice cover. Although more than two-thirds of the surface of Earth is covered by water, it is the water to ice conversion, and vice versa, that makes an important fraction of the globe habitable today. Hence, changes in the global scale dynamics of the ice cover capture s...

Pistachio powder is a product used today in confectionery, ice cream, pistachio paste and other foods. Considering the higher rate of spoilage and oxidation in pistachio powder, developing methods to increase the shelf-life of this product is therefore important. In this study the effect of  freezing and vacuum packaging on the quality characteristics of pistachio powder during storage was inve...

We explore the role of sea ice freshwater and salt fluxes in modulating 21 century surface warming in the Southern Ocean via analysis of sensitivity experiments in the Community Climate System Model version 3 (CCSM3). In particular, we investigate whether a change in these fluxes can cause surface cooling in the Southern Ocean, expand sea ice, and increase deep oceanic storage of heat. Our resu...

Ice slurry precooling technology is a preservation that has unique advantages in the of fruits and vegetables. It can make vegetables quickly drop to suitable storage temperature. This paper summarizes preparation methods ice slurry, including wall scraping method, undercooling vacuum fluidized bed direct contact method. The which been widely used industry commerce, main method design dynamic s...
