Fractional Conversion for Determining Texture Degradation Kinetics of Vegetables

Kinetics of carrot texture degradation under pasteurization conditions

Competitive kinetics versus stopped flow method for determining the degradation rate constants of steroids by ozonation

Steroids are classified as endocrine disrupting chemicals; they are persistent with low biodegradability and are hardly degraded by conventional methods. Ozonation process has been effective for steroids degradation and the determination of the kinetics is a fundamental aspect for the design and operation of the reactor. This study assessed two methods: competitive kinetics and stopped flow, fo...

Fractional Discrimination for Texture Image Segmentation

Texture image segmentation plays an important role in texture analysis. This paper presents an approach to image segmentation by texture classification based on fractional discrimination functions. The idea behind this method is to enhance the texture edge points b y means of image decomposition and contextual filtering in terms of the proposed fractional function. In addition, such function is...

Distributed - Order Fractional Kinetics ∗

Fractional diffusion equations are widely used to describe anomalous diffusion processes where the characteristic displacement scales as a power of time. For processes lacking such scaling the corresponding description may be given by distributed-order equations. In the present paper we consider different forms of distributed-order fractional kinetic equations and investigate the effects descri...
