in this study, we investigated the effects of osmotic process with or without ultrasound on solid gain (sg) and water loss (wl) of cranberries. response surface methodology was used to model and determine the optimum processing conditions for wl and sg during osmotic dehydration of samples. sucrose (40-60%) and salt (0-8%) concentrations, temperature (30-50°c) and frequency of ultrasound (0-130...

After sales services are characterized by interlinked service provider and customer operations. Furthermore, proper management of data related to the physical product its lifecycle is essential for proposition value-adding services. In this article, we present a novel ontology-based approach improvement maintenance, repair overhaul (MRO) processes, where ontology captures information industry s...

Accidental or intentional releases of contaminants into the atmosphere pose risks to human health, the environment, the economy, and national security. In some cases there may be a single release from an unknown source, while in other cases there are fugitive emissions from multiple sources. The need to locate and characterize the sources efficiently whether it be the urgent need to evacuate or...

The basis for the management and documentation of multiresistant organisms (MRO) in medical facilities in Germany are the Infection Protection Act (IPA) and the recommendations given by the Commission for Hospital Hygiene and Infection Prevention at the Robert Koch Institute (KRINKO).With the Infection Protection Amendment Act an accounting capability for the treatment of patients with MRO will...

Owing to increase in desired user throughput and to the subsequent increase in network traffic, the number and density of cells in cellular networks have increased, especially starting with LTE. This directly translates into higher capital and operational expenses as well as increased complexity of network operation. To counter all three challenges, Self-Organized Networks (SON) have been propo...

‎a common approach to determine efficient solutions of a multiple objective optimization problem‎ ‎is reformulating it to a parameter dependent scalar optimization problem‎. ‎this reformulation is called scalarization approach‎. here, a well-known scalarization approach named pascoletti-serafini scalarization is considered‎. first, some difficulties of this scalarization are discussed and then ...

Mitochondrion-related organelles (MROs) have arisen independently in a wide range of anaerobic protist lineages. Only a few of these organelles and their functions have been investigated in detail, and most of what is known about MROs comes from studies of parasitic organisms such as the parabasalid Trichomonas vaginalis Here, we describe the MRO of a free-living anaerobic jakobid excavate, Sty...

[1] CRISM is a hyperspectral imager onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO; NASA, 2005) which has been acquiring data since November 2006 and has targeted hydrated minerals previously detected by OMEGA (Mars Express; ESA, 2003). The present study focuses on hydrated minerals detected with CRISM at high spatial resolution in the vicinity of Capri Chasma, a canyon of the Valles Marineris sy...

the impact resistance of new lightweight panel is studied. this panel consists of two thin metal layers bonded together by intermediate fiber/epoxy layers (mcm-sheets). to simulate a behavior of this kind of impact problem, explicit and implicit finite element software abaqus is used. in order to validate the finite element modeling, these results have been compared with experimental test resul...
