This paper presents an experimental study of imperfection insensitive composite wavy cylindrical shells subject to axial compression. A fabrication technique for making cylindrical shells with intricate shape of cross-sections has been developed. A photogrammetry technique to measure the geometric imperfections has also been developed. The behavior of the wavy shells under axial compression was...

Background Hazelnut is one of the most largely consumed tree nuts, which is used in a wide range of processed foods. However, it is classified as a potential allergenic ingredient and, consequently, should be declared in the label of pre-packaged foods (Directive 2007/68/EC), independently of its amounts. To verify the compliance with labelling and to safeguard the health of sensitised individu...

Water used in coffee preparation has essential importance on flavour. In this study, it was aimed to determine effect of water (soft, medium hard and hard) volatile compounds sensory properties Turkish coffee. It revealed that number prepared with higher than soft water. Medium contain 30 from aldehyde (2), furan (13), furanone (1), ketone pyrazine (7), pyridine pyrrole (3), thiophene (1) class...

In the Lake Tanganyika cichlid Lamprologus callipterus, males were >12 times heavier than females, the most extreme sexual size dimorphism in this direction among animals. L. callipterus males construct nests of empty snail shells in which the females breed. If the ancestors of L. callipterus were small cichlids, both sexes may have used shells for shelter. If the ancestors were larger, snail s...
