Tamarind is an economically important multipurpose spice which is grown both as domesticated spice in farmland and as wild in forest lands. Tamarind fruits can be processed in the variety of food products of commercial importance. The knowledge about physical properties of any biomaterial is essential to design its equipment for processing, storage, transportation and value addition. In the pre...

The liver, kidney and spleen of the mouse and rat and the kidney and spleen of the ox express a monomeric form of biliverdin reductase (Mr 34,000), which in the case of the ox kidney enzyme exists in two forms (pI 5.4 and 5.2) that are probably charge isomers. The livers of the mouse and rats express, in addition, a protein (Mr 46,000) that cross-reacts with antibodies raised against the ox kid...

We introduce a generalization of the Dobiński relation through which we define a family of Bell-type numbers and polynomials. For all these sequences we find the weight function of the moment problem and give their generating functions. We provide a physical motivation of this extension in the context of the boson normal ordering problem and its relation to an extension of the Kerr Hamiltonian....

unable to bind NADPH. The results obtained so far suggest that the modified histidine residue is in, or near, the coenzyme site, and the protection by inhibitors competitive with NADPH suggest that it is in the region of the binding site for adenosine ribose and distal to the site of hydride transfer. Thiol groups. The role of thiol groups in the activity of mammalian aldehyde reductases is not...

freeze-thaw is one of the most powerful weathering agents that may cause a rapid change in the initial engineering properties of stones, and limit their durability. freeze-thaw induces stress over the pores’ surface of stones. consequently, stone durability is closely related to its engineering and physical properties. the purpose of this study is estimating the engineering properties of deteri...

abstract in this study the possibility of utilizing date syrup as a sugar replacer in soft ice-cream was investigated. for this purpose control sample was formulated based on iranian ice- cream standard. data syrup which produced from third grade kabkab dates, replaced sucrose in four levels (25, 50, 75 and 100%). physical properties including overrun, viscosity and freezing point (drawing temp...

the superficial strata of ground have been perennially exposed to the action of natural agents such as heat, cold and water. however, grazing agent was not different from them when soils were investigated from temperate rangelands of kashmir and caused the soil compaction, soil structure degradation and loss of soil organic c and c/n ratio. soils from three grazing intensities were investigated...

in order to provide the data needed for the design of saffron processing equipment, physical properties of its flower were investigated. these properties included dimensions, mass, true and bulk densities, porosity, static and dynamic coefficients of friction, and terminal velocity as a function of moisture content. the average range of these properties for the three different parts of saff...
