One of the main challenges in computational simulations of gas detonation propagation is that negative density or negative pressure may emerge during the time evolution, which will cause blow-ups. Therefore, schemes with provable positivity-preserving of certain quantities such as density and pressure are desired. First order and second order positivity-preserving schemes were well studied, e.g...

Minimum distance (MD), maximum likelihood (ML), and maximum a posteriori (MAP) decoding is considered for synchronization error correcting (SEC) codes with known codeword boundaries when transmitted over the Binary Substitution, Insertion and Deletion channel. It is shown that MD decoding is sub-optimal, unlike ML or MAP decoding. Based on ML and MAP decoding, a new measure called the Change Pr...

Tropical montane taxa are often locally adapted to very specific climatic conditions, contributing to their lower dispersal potential across complex landscapes. Climate and landscape features in montane regions affect population genetic structure in predictable ways, yet few empirical studies quantify the effects of both factors in shaping genetic structure of montane-adapted taxa. Here, we con...

Oysters are bivalve molluscs in the family Osteridae of the order Ostereoida and are found throughout the world. Quality of stored muscle of oyster, Crossostrea glomerata depends on the temperature and storage time. Investigation on factors responsible for spoilage of oyster meat in refrigerator (7±2°C); in term of biochemical indices, indicated that in 1-2 days the following changes...

nowadays, using natural preservatives than synthetic ones is increasing. the present study was aimed to compare the effect of thyme (zataria multiflora boiss), onion (allium cepa) and ziziphora clinopodioides extracts on shelf-life extending of rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss) salted, vacuum packaged fillet, kept at 4°c. for this purpose fish filets were kept in 4 treatment: salted in brine ...

microbial activity and spoilage of chicken meat from the market in mashhad, iran, stored in air at 0, 4, 10 and 15°c was assessed. microbial spoilage population, total volatilebase nitrogen (tvb-n), ph and organoleptic changes were determined. based on the results of sensory analysis, shelf-life of chicken meat stored at 0, 4, 10 and 15°c was 72, 120, 220 and 320 h, respectively. tvb-n that ser...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate effect crust-freezing (CF) on fresh salmon fillets in skin-packaging during storage at −2.0°C. After CF, all treated samples and untreated controls were stored a refrigerated cabinet for 20 d. Sampling carried out days 0, 2, 6, 8, 10, 14 order analyse total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) levels mesophilic psychrophilic viable counts (MVC PVC). Enter...

the effects of grape pomace extract (0, 2 and 4%) on quality and shelf life of silver carp ( hypophthalmicthys molitrix ) fillets during chill storage (4°c) were investigated. the control and the treated fillets were analyzed periodically for microbiological (tvc and ptc), chemical (tvb-n), and sensory characteristics. the results showed that grape pomace-treated samples have lower tvb-n (24.2 ...

UNLABELLED Filtered smoke (FS) has been used to preserve taste, texture, and/or color in tuna and other fish species. This treatment is particularly important in color preservation during frozen storage. The objective of this study was to compare changes in the quality profiles of FS-treated and untreated (UT) yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) steaks stored in 3 ways: room temperature (21 to 2...
