Modeling human aesthetic perception of visual textures is important and valuable in numerous industrial domains, such as product design, architectural design, and decoration. Based on results from a semantic differential rating experiment, we modeled the relationship between low-level basic texture features and aesthetic properties involved in human aesthetic texture perception. First, we compu...

in this research the effect of substituting sugars (glucose and sucrose) by low caloric sweeteners (sorbitol and isomalt) on the physical properties of gazz was studied. textural properties of gaz were investigated using instron and micro-structure was studied by scanning electron microscope (sem). the results of texture investigation showed that the sample containing 25% of sorbitol and 65% of...

The cooking, textural and digestive properties of food products containing starch, such as rice, wheat, barley and potatoes, can be significantly affected by the physical transformation known as gelantinization. This refers to the process by which a starch/water system undergoes an order-disorder transition during heating [1]. It is hypothesized that the starch loses its crystallinity during ge...

Two studies were conducted to evaluate the quality characteristics of fresh sausage manufactured from immunologically castrated (IC) pigs, an emerging technology in the pork industry. Study 1: Fresh sausage patties from ground Boston butts fabricated from PC (physically castrated) pigs fed 0.55% SID (standard illeal digestible) lysine, IC pigs fed 0.55% SID lysine, and IC pigs fed 0.65% SID lys...

The physicochemical, thermal, pasting and gel textural properties of corn starches from different corn varieties (African Tall, Ageti, Early Composite, Girja, Navjot, Parbhat, Partap, Pb Sathi and Vijay) were studied. Amylose content and swelling power of corn starches ranged from 16.9% to 21.3% and 13.7 to 20.7 g/g, respectively. The enthalpy of gelatinization (DHgel) and percentage of retrogr...

We demonstrate an unprecedented H2 generation activity in the hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane over acid oxidation- and subsequent high temperature-treated CNT immobilized Pt nanocatalysts to combine the merits of defect-rich and oxygen group-deficient surfaces and unique textural properties of supports as well as optimum particle size of Pt.

for button mushrooms packaging, the packaging films with high permeability to oxygen and carbon dioxide are required. permeability of plastic films such as pvc lead to loss of weight (and thus economic value) and textural changes are undesirable for button mushroom. so packaging film of polyolefins (pd 941 and pd 961) can be used. also the new film, hydrophilic materials such as films made from...

PURPOSE Textural measures have been widely explored as imaging biomarkers in cancer. However, their robustness under dynamic range and spatial resolution changes in brain 3D magnetic resonance images (MRI) has not been assessed. The aim of this work was to study potential variations of textural measures due to changes in MRI protocols. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty patients harboring glioblast...
