The increasing amount of seaweed accumulated in the coasts calls for a proper disposal or treatment order to reduce secondary pollution effects. Anaerobic digestion is technology that simultaneously produces biogas, supporting further expansion renewable energy production through sustainable bioresources. In this study, three pretreatments (alkaline, hydrothermal and thermo-acidic) were applied...

In the current study, effects of steam blanching, saline immersion, and ultrasound pretreatment on drying time, three-dimensional (3D) appearance, quality characteristics, microstructure potato slices were investigated. All methods enhanced kinetics relative to untreated slices. The 3D appearance was evaluated by reconstructed images, shrinkage, curling degree. images could well reproduce chang...

The effect of restricted xvater supply or drought periods on transpiration after rewatering the plants has been investigated repeatedly (3, 4, 5, 9, 11, 16). It has been found that, after a periodl of recovery, changes in the transpiration rate in plants grown under restricted water supply relative to those in plants not subjected to water stress may occur. The recorded rates, however, vary wid...
