Banana (musa Sapientum var Cavendish) pulp was obtained and drum dried with varied concentrations of prepared cornstarch, skimmed milk powder and sugar. The water activities of the resulting powders were determined and from which the packaging requirement of the free flowing combinations was determined. The dried banana pulp was found to be thermoplastic and highly hygroscopic. The thermosplast...

A short series of trials is described inwhich a specimen car of the new High Density Rolling Stock was laden with passengers at different densities and under different environmental constraints, designed to simula...

The aim of the present work is to study the optimization of the electrical and optical properties of a-SiC:H Schottky diodes using thermal annealing process to a-SiC:H thin films in the range from 300C up to 675C. The films were deposited onto c-Si(n) using the rf sputtered method at three different hydrogen flow rates, 9sccm, 14sccm, and 20sccm. Subsequently, Al dots evaporated onto a-SiC:H in...

Pullulanase production from a fungus Hypocrea jecorina QM9414 that produces native extracellular hydrolases having industrial applications was carried out in a shaking flask culture containing 0.5% amylopectin at a pH of 6.50 at 300C. The enzyme was purified 11-fold by ammonium sulfate fractionation, anion-exchange and gel-filtration chromatographies with a yield of 10.12% and a specific activi...

Objective: The objective of the present investigation was to develop Chicken Egg Yolk antibodies as an alternative and affordable approach for diagnosis and treatment against dental caries in humans. Materials and Methods: Twenty four week old white leghorn chicken was immunized with formalin killed Streptococcus mutans (MTCC 890) to produce Egg Yolk antibodies (IgY). The amount of egg yolk ant...
