many research studies have been performed on forced convection (active) solar dryers for fruit and vegetables. a short survey of these showed that applying the forced convection solar dryer not only significantly reduced the drying time but also resulted in many improvements in the quality of the dried products. active indirect and mixed-mode thin layer solar drying experiments were conducted o...

Multimedia style sheet systems uniformly use a constraint-based model of layout. Constraints provide a uniform mechanism for all aspects of style management and layout and are better-suited to non-textual media than flow models. We have developed a prototype style sheet system, Proteus, and have used it with a variety of document types, including program source code. This work has exposed a cri...

The aim of the present paper is to give an overview of the investigation of the phonic articulatory systems of Polish on the basis of the detailed articulatory descriptions existent in phonetic literature and with the use computational tools. First the theoretical foundations of the phonetic grammar are briefly introduced, then the main problem of the choice of an appropriate repertory of phone...

Many software-intensive systems consist of multiple components that provide complex functionality by their interaction. The scenario-based languages LSCs and MSDs are intuitive, but precise means to specify interactions; the engineers can specify how a system can, must, or must not react to events in its environment. A key benefit of LSCs/MSDs is that they can be executed via the playout algori...

Balance sheet itself does not specify and show all the activities that a bank pays. Because banks can do many swap contracts and obligations, exchange, and commitments Outside of the balance sheet. To such activities and exchange that will not appear on the balance sheet, are saying off-balance sheet activities. These items are usually reported in the notes to the attached financial statements....

BACKGROUND Countless chemicals and mixtures are used in laboratories today, which all possess their own properties and dangers. Therefore, it is important to brief oneself about possible risks and hazards before doing any experiments. However, this task is laborious and time consuming. SUMMARY Beryllium10 is a program, which supports users by carrying out a large part of the work such as coll...

agents get smarter and our expectations of their capabilities rise correspondingly , we will no doubt treat them more anthropomorphically. It is already common for both system designers and users to attribute beliefs and intentions to agents— much the way people attribute such cognitions to their pets. For example, we might say that our cat appears aloof because it believes it is superior to it...

A new acid -base indicator which is less hazardous and inexpensive is proposed. It is capable of d istinguishing between the acids and bases. Titrations were carried out to ensure that the proposed indicator yields quantitative results. The results of titrations were quite satisfactory. The indicator was giving a distinct sustained colour even in the case of weak base and weak acid titrations. ...

“Soft skills” are necessary for inclusion in the Chemical Technology (sometimes referred to as Applied Chemistry) or Laboratory Science curriculum because they relate to important topics that can impact not only the program’s graduates, but everyone in their shared laboratory environment. These “soft skills”; which include (to name a few) material safety data sheets (MSDS) documentation and oth...

Issue: Understanding the chemical composition of container glass is critical to recycling for a number of reasons. First, the chemistry has significant implications for managing the behavior of molten glass in any remelt application, from large-scale container manufacturing down to cottage-industry pressed glass. Second, the composition has important implications for evaluating health concerns ...
