The evolution of habitual bipedalism is still a fundamental yet unsolved question for paleoanthropologists, and carrying is popular as an explanation for both the early adoption of upright walking and as a positive selection pressure once a terrestrial lifestyle had been adopted. However, to support or reject any hypothesis that suggests carrying efficiency was an important selective pressure, ...

Water content is one of the most important properties of the bread for tasting assesment or store monitoring. Traditional bread water content measurement methods mostly are processed manually, which is destructive and time consuming. This paper proposes an automated water content measurement for bread quality based on near-infrared hyperspectral imaging against the conventional manual loss-in-w...

simple and corresponding impacts of adding acidic improvers (lactic acid , acetic acid and citric acid ) on bread staling has been researched twice in 3 levels( 0%, 0.25 % and 0.5 %) by factorial experimental method .there was an orthogonal comparison between the two treatments (acidified treatments and sourdough groups) in the second stage. the effect of lactic acid on bread staling was signif...

Rye (Secale cereale L.) is one of the most important bread grains in colder parts of Europe and its importance has been rising recently. The chemical composition of rye grain promises health benefits and it contributes to higher intake of dietary fibre. Conversely, rye baking performance is not as good as required. The baking quality is mainly affected by the activity of amylases measured as Ha...

Introduction: The objectives of this project were two-fold, to: (1) implement rapid, simple, and inexpensive test methods enabling the detection of the foodborne pathogens Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella in foods and related samples, for the purpose of establishing basic on-site food microbiology testing capability at the Nunavik Research Centre (NRC) in Kuujjuaq, with the provision of ...

REVIEWER COMMENTS. Previous studies of parental EpiPen administration have reported incorrect use of autoinjectors despite training at the time of prescription. This study suggests that factors beyond parental knowledge are critical for proper administration of this potentially lifesaving medication. The importance of hands-on training to increase caregiver comfort is underscored by this study....

Adopting an Information Communication and Technology (ICT) system in an organization is somewhat challenging. User diversity, heavy workload, and different skill gap make the ICT adoption process slower. This research starts from a condition that a conventional ICT learning through short workshop and guidance book is not working well. This research proposes a model called ICT instruction design...

and careers and college in general. The aim was for these students to consider college as an option and specifically a STEM discipline as a major. The modules were presented by enthusiastic faculty using demonstrations, laboratory exercises, and hands-on activities to stimulate the students. Participants were administered a questionnaire to assess this program. Students indicated that due to th...

Assumptions about the superiority of hands-on use of computer simulations over projecting them in whole class have seldom been tested. Contrary to expectations, preliminary pre-post results from two lesson sequences yielded no evidence for an advantage for students in the hands-on condition. We conduct qualitative analyses of one of the lesson sequences, in which a popular simulation was used i...

HiSPARC is a project where high school teachers and students work together to study cosmic rays. The combination of hands-on experience and truly participating in a scientific collaboration opens the eyes of many high-school students for the scientific and technological world surrounding us. In this way HiSPARC helps to achieve the targets set in Lisbon 2000 to increase the number of students c...
