Vegetable oils and fats have a big contribution in our diet as cooking or frying oil, salad oil or in food products formulation. They are important from nutritional and economical point of views. Their authenticity is a serious issue since old time. Some edible oils and fats such as olive oil, cocoa butter and milk fat are so expensive which makes tempting to adulterate them with other lower pr...

A tandem retrial queue consisting of two stations is studied. The first station has a single server. An input flow at the first station is described by the Markovian Arrival Process ( MAP ). If a customer from this flow meets the busy server, it goes to the orbit of infinite size and tries its luck later on in exponentially distributed random time. The service time distribution at the first sta...

We present an efficient construction of Yao’s “garbled circuits” protocol for securely computing any two-party circuit on committed inputs. The protocol is secure in a universally composable way in the presence of malicious adversaries under the decisional composite residuosity (DCR) and strong RSA assumptions, in the common reference string model. The protocol requires a constant number of rou...

the discharge or runoff which ousts from a watershed is important. because its deficiency leads to financial losses and its excesses cause damage in lives and property as flood. in this research using artificial neural network multi-layer perceptron (mlp (and adaptive neuro-fuzzy interface system (anfis) and multiple regression method simulated rainfall- runoff process on daily basis in the kho...

Responding of 4 children was assessed under conditions in which (a) no programmed contingencies were arranged for target behavior, (b) responding produced tokens that could be exchanged for a single highly preferred edible item, and (c) responding produced a token that could be exchanged for a variety of preferred edible items. After assessing the effects of these contingencies, the preferences...

Edible films were made from proteins (corn-zein and wheat gluten) and celluloses (methyl cellulose and hydroxypropyl cellulose), and tested fog permeability of gases. Oxygen and carbon dioxide permeabilities of edible films were generally lower than those of plastic films. However, water vapor permeabilities of edible films were higher than those of plastic films. The concentration of plasticiz...

Edible coatings can improve the quality of fresh, frozen, and processed meat, poultry, and seafood products by retarding moisture loss, reducing lipid oxidation and discoloration, enhancing product appearance in retail packages by eliminating dripping, sealing in volatile flavors, functioning as carriers of food additives such as antimicrobial and antioxidant agents, and reducing oil uptake by ...

abstract according to official statistics, domestic production of edible oils provides only less than 10 percent of the country's consumption needs, and therefore every year a significant amount of crude and prepared edible oils and fats is imported to the country spending a considerable amount of foreign exchange. over the past years rapeseed, as a new product, has been implemented by a limite...

in this paper, by introducing two virtual decision-making units (dmus) called ideal dmu (idmu) and anti-ideal dmu (admu) with fuzzy inputs-outputs, the efficiency evaluation of dmus are done by fuzzy data envelopment analysis (fdea). therefore, we evaluate dmus from the perspective of the best and worst possible relative efficiency. for each dmu two efficiencies are calculated while inputs and ...

This study was developed in order to evaluate two alternatives for the control of Listeria monocytogenes in raw bovine meat pieces, both based on the use of Thymus vulgaris and Rosmarinus officinalis essential oils (EOs). The antilisterial activity of different concentrations of the EOs was tested in vitro using agar dilution and disk volatilization techniques. In addition, L. monocytogenes was...
