background and objectives: red beet extract concentrate can be used as a natural colorant in food products; however, destructive effects of thermal methods to produce juice concentrate decrease nutritional value in the final product. materials and methods: in this study, red beet extract was concentrated using osmotic distillation method, and the best pretreatment was evaluated to increase the ...

1. Climate change will increase both average temperatures and extreme summer temperatures. Analyses of the fitness consequences of climate change have generally omitted negative fitness and population declines associated with heat stress. 2. Here, we examine how seasonal and interannual temperature variability will impact fitness shifts of ectotherms from the past (1961–1990) to future (2071–21...

An attempt is made to analyse the effect of variation in thermal properties in Fibre Metal Laminate with an implanted delamination. This work focuses to explore the variations in thermal contrast for the increase in values of thermal properties of delamination, Aluminium layers and glass reinforced epoxy layers. The paper projects the numerical investigations towards the thermal analysis of fib...

Latent heat storage using phase change materials (PCMs) is one of the most efficient methods to store thermal energy. Therefore, PCM have been applied to increase thermal energy storage capacity of different systems. The use of PCM provides higher heat storage capacity and more isothermal behaviour during charging and discharging compared to sensible heat storage. Moreover, thermal energy stora...
