in order to reduce the operating temperature of solid oxide fuel cells (sofcs), novel electrolyte materials based on ceo2 and baceo3 are being developed in the scientific realm. in this context, we propose a new methodology for preparing the nano-ceramic composite materials such as bace0.9gd0.9o3-δ – ce0.9gd0.9o2-δ (bcgo–cgo) and bace0.8sm0.2o3-δ – ce0.8sm0.2o2-δ (bcso – cso) as possible elec...

introduction conventional water treatment consist of unit processes include coagulation, flocculation, clarification, filtration and disinfection that goal is removal of turbidity, color and certain bacterial species. in filtration process flocculated substances that have not removed in pervious stage are sediment. filter media is often silica sand that removal mechanism is complex and consists...

today special attention has been paid to the microbial quality of medicinal plants.one of the operations in order to maintain the quality of plants is drying which may also affect the quantity and quality of the essential oil. in order to evaluate drying process effect in peppermint,the experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design with 4 treatments and 3 replications. the treatm...

Sliced eggplant was pretreated (blanching and citric acid dip), -dried (oven sun), then pulverized to flour. Physicochemical antioxidant properties were evaluated using standard methods. The results showed increases in protein, moisture, fat, ash, crude fiber, carbohydrate contents. They ranged from 7.78–8.39%, 8.90–10.14%, 4.32–5.28%, 0.77–0.91%, 10.72–13.43%, 63.35–65.77%, respectively. Citri...

Two experiments were conducted to measure the reactive Lys concentration in corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS). In expt 1, reactive Lys was measured in 33 sources of DDGS using two procedures: the homoarginine procedure and the furosine procedure. The concentration of reactive Lys in DDGS was then correlated with the concentration of standardized ileal digestible (SID) Lys in DDG...

Three-component organic/inorganic hybrid films were fabricated by drop-casting the mixed dispersion of nanodispersed-poly(nickel 1,1,2,2-ethenetetrathiolate) (nano-PETT), polyimide (PI) and super growth carbon nanotubes (SG-CNTs) in N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) at the designed ratio on a substrate. The dried nano-PETT/PI/SG-CNT hybrid films were prepared by the stepwise cleaning of NMP and methano...

Aqueous and ethanol extracts of oven and freeze-dried Streblus asper leaves were investigated using DPPH assay. The presence of phenolic compounds and flavonoids in the extracts, which were detected by Folin and colorimetric assays, respectively, may be responsible for the antioxidant activities of S. asper. The different drying treatments resulted in significant differences (p < 0.05) in the a...
