ABSTRACT- In this study, texture profile analysis and a creep test were used to determine the textural quality attributes of fish protein isolates and conventional surimi. These isolates were made from raw materials obtained from filleting processes of Silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) using acid and alkaline aided treatments. Texture profile analysis was performed in order to obtain ha...

Creep performance of zinc borate-treated strandboard from southern pine (Pinus taeda L.) and red oak (Quercus falcata) was investigated at 25°C temperature and 65% relative humidity. It was shown that the borate treatment had some signifi cant effect on creep defl ection of the test panels, and the effect varied with wood species. There was no signifi cant effect of creep loading on residual be...

The present study provides a feasible method to evaluate creep properties for 9%Cr-Mo-Co-B power plant steel by comparing two sets of data obtained from small punch tests and conventional uniaxial tests. includes three steps: firstly, conduct series in different load temperature conditions; secondly, convert the central deflection test stress strain data; thirdly, determinate best fit correlati...

Experiments in several species have shown that the axial elongation rate of the developing eye can be increased or decreased by manipulating the visual environment, indicating that a visually guided emmetropization mechanism controls the enlargement of the vertebrate eye during postnatal development. Previous studies in tree shrews (Tupaia glis belangeri) suggest that regulation of the mechanic...

During the recent decades, the design and construction of underground spaces into rock salt have been particularly regarded for storing petroleum fluids, natural gas, and compressed air energy, and also for disposing nuclear and chemical wastes. The rock salt hosting such spaces will be subjected to various types of monotonic/cyclic, short-term/long-term stresses during the construction and/or ...
