olive oil extraction methods and technology can affect the quality and quantity of the extracted oil. in this study, qualitative and quantitative parameters were investigated for oil extracted using a hammer crusher at 720 and 1450 rpm at 30°, 40°, 60° c mixing temperatures. the data were analyzed using a complete randomized block factorial design using spss software with three replications. th...

A mixing rule for the mixtures of hard-spheres is presented which can be reduced to the standard van der Waals mixing rule at low densities. The effectiveness of the mixing rule for the size and energy parameters of lennard-Jones fluid are examined by combining them with an equation of state to calculate thermodynamic properties. The results of calculation are compared with the molecular dy...

The mixing behavior of the gas-liquid phase in three loop bioreactors was investigated. A gas-induced External Airlift Loop Bioreactor (EALB), a forced-liquid Vertical Tubular Loop Bioreactor (VTLB) and a forced-liquid Horizontal Tubular Loop Bioreactor (HTLB) were used for mixing studies as well as biomass production from natural gas. The effect of design parameters, riser to downcomer cro...

For a general group G we consider various weak mixing properties of nonsingular actions. In the case where the action is actually measure preserving all these properties coincide, and our purpose here is to check which implications persist in the nonsingular case.

A binary relation R on a set S is transitive iff for all a, b, c ∈ S, if aRb and bRc, then aRc. This almost never applies to the relations logicians tend to think of as consequence relations; where such relations are relations on a set at all, they are rarely transitive. Yet it is common to hear consequence relations described as ‘transitive’, and to see rules imposed to ensure ‘transitivity’ o...

I recount briefly the history of neutrino tribimaximal mixing and the use of the discrete family symmetry A4 in obtaining it. Talk at the 4th International Conference on Flavor Physics, Beijing, September 2007. 1 Neutrino Tribimaximal Mixing In 1978, soon after the putative discovery of the third family of leptons and quarks, it was conjectured by Cabibbo [1] and Wolfenstein [2] independently t...

Micromixers are one of the most crucial components of Lab-On-a-Chip devices with the intention of mixing and dispersion of reagents like small molecules and particles. The challenge facing micromixers is typically insufficient mixing efficiency in basic designs, which results in longer microchannels. Therefore, it is desirable to increase mixing efficiency, in order to decrease mixing length, w...
