The instrument for determination the texture with air puff’s Foodtexture Puff Device (FPD) is a new device that yields contactless, fast, easy and non-destructive rheological measurements of food products. The instrument applies a controlled air pulse to the surface of a food product, while a laser distance sensor measures the deformation. This approach can be considered as an alternative metho...

This paper studies an image inpainting solution based on a primal sketch representation model [1], which divides an image into structure (sketchable) and texture (non-sketchable) components. This solution first predicts the missing structures, such as curves and corners, using a tensor voting algorithm [2]. Then the texture parts along structural sketches are synthesized with the patches sample...

in this study, ice-glazing process of frozen shrimp by chitosan was applied to protect the frozen shrimp from undesirable chemical and physical changes. the effects of 2% chitosan solution glazing on quality of whole, raw and cooked (without head, tail and shell) shrimps stored at -18±2ºc for 6 months were investigated and compared with water glazing, sodium metabisulfite treatment control. gla...

Wild plants are considered promising natural eco-friendly resources for fibers. Leptadenia pyrotechnica is a xerophytic shrub that flourishes in sandy desert habitat with high biomass production; therefore, it could be potential resource The present study aimed to investigate the vegetation composition of L. communities and their correlation soil variables. Additionally, this evaluate anatomica...

PURPOSE The identification of tumor pathologic characteristics is an important part of breast cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment planning but currently requires biopsy as its standard. Here, we investigated a noninvasive quantitative ultrasound method for the characterization of breast tumors in terms of their histologic grade, which can be used with clinical diagnostic ultrasound data....

In the southeast of bam, there is a collection of volcanic rocks with andesite, basalt and trachy andesite composition. The texture of these rocks are often porphyritic with microlithic, porphyric cavity, and sometimes glomerulophorphuri, sore throat trachytic. Main minerals include Olivine, Clinopyroxene, Plagioclase and secondary minerals including opaque minerals, Iodenzyte, secondary Biotit...
