the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ultrasound and drying pretreatments on apparent density as well as modeling apparent density during deep-fat frying of potato slices. ultrasound pretreatment was performed at 28 and 40 khz for 15 min and drying pretreatment were conducted at 80°c for 8 and 15 min. then, the frying process was done at 150, 170 and 190°c for 60, 120, 180 and ...

conclusions these findings showed that 25(oh)d insufficiency was highly prevalent in hd cases and higher amount of 25(oh)d levels prevent shpt. methods a prospective experimental trial of 180 hd patients (f: 81, m: 99, age > 14year) participated in the study. at base line, levels of 25(oh)d, intact parathyroid hormone (ipth), calcium (ca), phosphorous (p), alkaline phosphatase (alk p), and albu...

to study the effects of different levels of water stress and nitrogen fertilizer on seed yield and yield components of two common bean genotypes (phaseolus vulgaris), an experiment in a split plot factorial based on crbd with four replications was conducted at the research farm of university of tehran (karaj-iran) in 2010. water stress treatments as the main factor included normal irrigation (6...

two simple visible spectrophotometric methods are developed and validated for the quantification of modafinil using 1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sulphonic acid (nqs method) and 2,4-dinitrophenol (dnp method) as analytical reagents. the nqs method involves the reaction of modafinil with 1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sulphonate in alkaline medium at room conditions to form a yellow colored product exhibiting maxi...

in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress and methanol foliar application on some quantitative and qualitative traits of soybean (cv. viliamz), a split plot experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design at the faculty of moghan research farm in 2011. treatments were three levels of drought stress based on irrigation at depletion of 40, 55 and 70 percent of availabl...

3-(2-furanyl)-2-propenoic acid has been used to prepare a new series of organotin complexes of general formula r3snl (r=me, et, n-bu, ph and cy) and r2snl2 (r=me and n-bu). these complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, ir, 1h-nmr, mass and mössbaure spectroscopy.

the aim of the present study was to synthesis a series of phthalimides based on our previous works and examine their anxiolytic properties. using a three steps process, phthalimides were prepared from the corresponding di-methyl phthalate derivatives. phthalic anhydride was nitrated to produce 3-nitrophthalic acid. ring closer of either 3-nitrophthalic acid or di-methyl phthalate with urea were...

this study presents an empirical relationship of suspended sediment concentrations (sscs) inthe coastal waters, which is derived from the conventional methods, to radiometer remote sensing reflectance values (rrs) and satellite data in coastal waters of kerala. an algorithm is then developed to utilize both in situ sscs measured from conventional methods and rrs values. this algorithm is valida...
