A visualization of testing apparatus was developed to measure property of oilseeds relevant to physical mechanics during mechanical pressing for oil extraction. Stress-strain relationships were measured for extruded peanut, soybean, sesame and linseed compressed at thirteen pressures under uniaxial cold pressing. The prediction model of the stress-strain relationship was developed based on BP n...

This research aims to vary functional properties of native and extruded wheat flours combining cyclodextrin glucanotransferase and extrusion treatments. The level of released cyclodextrins (CD) was assessed, besides the microstructure, crystallinity, pasting properties and starch hydrolysis of the flours. Photomicrographs of enzymatically treated flours suggested the production of fragile struc...

The properties of glasses can change significantly as they evolve toward equilibrium. Mechanical deformation appears to influence this physical aging process in conflicting ways, with experiments and simulations showing both effects associated rejuvenation away from overaging the equilibrium state. Here we report a significant densification effect polymer undergoing shear flow under high pressu...

In recent years, a wide range of different methods to implant nanosized patterns on surfaces have been developed. Spin coating immiscible binary polymer blends is a straightforward method to prepare micro- and nanostructures on thin films. This study utilizes binary blends to effortlessly prepare stable, surface-functionalized cellulose films. Blends of trimethylsilyl cellulose (TMSC) majority ...

introduction: the purpose of the present study was to quantify and compare the amount of extruded debris from apical foramen after instrumentation of the root canal system with hand and rotary instruments. materials and methods: root canals of forty five fresh extracted single rooted human teeth with mature apexes and less than 15 degree of root curvature were instrumented in group a with stain...

Globally, the building sector consumes approximately 60% of total energy usage, while consumption residential buildings lies between 20% to 40%. The majority this is operational energy, which comes mainly from heating and cooling houses. Innovative cost-effective insulation materials have potential reduce requirements can therefore make more efficient. In study, three commonly available were ex...

Polystyrene (PS)/Gold (Au) is used for a wide range of applications, including composite nanofibers, catalysis, organic memory devices, and biosensing. In this work, PS films were deposited on silicon substrates via spin coating technique followed by treatment with argon (Ar) plasma admixed ammonia (NH3), oxygen (O2), or tetrafluoroethane (C2H2F4). X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysi...

Polystyrene (PS) nanofibers containing the inclusion complex forming beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) were successfully produced by electrospinning aimed at developing functional fibrous nanowebs. By optimization of the electrospinning parameters, which included varying the relative concentration of PS and beta-CD in the solutions, bead-free fibers were produced. Homogeneous solutions of beta-CD and...

In this study, planning, design and cost analysis of prefabricated beef cattle barns carried out. Steel mesh was used to strengthen the foundation structure. Galvanized-sheet material as carrier cover material, shaped like a trapezoid cross-section. The barns, which are planned in form tunnel cross-section tie-stalls type, designed for 10, 20 30-cattle be particularly suitable family enterprise...
