results mycoflora profiles of fresh and stored rice grains showed that aspergillus species (37.3%, 40.7%) were the predominant fungal agents, followed by fusarium (21.6%, 16.2%), mucor (19.6%, 16.7%) and rhizopus (9.8%, 11.1%), respectively. in hplc analysis, most of the rice samples (96.7%) collected were found to be positive for fb1 with mean levels ranging from not detected to 56.2 mg/kg for...

this study aimed to construct the hydrate three-phase equilibrium curves for two typical iranian gas reservoir samples using a high-pressure visual cell. to do so, complete analysis of the reservoir fluids was obtained by different techniques of composition analysis i.e. gas chromatography (gc) and detailed hydrocarbon analysis (dha). using high-pressure visual cell the hydrate phase equilibriu...

background: this study investigated blackberry (persian mulberry) effects on apo a-i, apo b, high-sensitivity-c-reactive protein (hs-crp), and systolic blood pressure (sbp) and diastolic blood pressure (dbp) in dyslipidemic patients. materials and methods: in this 8-week randomized clinical trial, 72 dyslipidemic patients were randomly divided into two groups: intervention (300 ml/day blackberr...

conclusions although the results obtained with the use of different methods show an excellent correlation, when one particular sample is tested by different assays, the results are significantly different. it can be concluded that the national standardization program of hba1c measurement is necessary. background hemoglobin a1c (hba1c) testing devices are widely used to evaluate glycemic control...

Abstract A common objective in the analysis of turbomachinery components (nozzle guide vanes (NGVs) or rotor blades, for example) is to calculate performance parameters, such as total pressure kinetic energy (KE) loss coefficients, from measurements a nonuniform flow-field. These parameters can be represented range ways. For example, line-averages used compare between different radial sections ...

This work proposes a numerical model that incorporates the effect of lubricant inertia on the hydrodynamic pressure distribution, fluid film reaction forces, and the fluid velocity component profiles for finite-length open-ended squeeze film dampers (SFDs). Firstly, the thin film flow equations for the SFD in presence of fluid inertia effects are introduced. Furthermore, a small first-order per...

Abstract Condensation has a negative impact on turbomachinery efficiency in many energy processes. This paper compares the expansion of moist air symmetric and asymmetric nozzles with low rate. The presented numerical study is supported by analytical experimental research. tWesting was carried out using an in-house test rig where two were examined for relative humidity about 25%. tested superso...
