medium density fiberboard (mdf) was produced using moist depithed bagasse stored dry or wet. the duration of storage for either method varied between 0 to 4 months. two steaming temperatures of 175c and 185c were also used. mdf boards were produced in the laboratory and the common mechanical and physical properties were measured and compared. results showed that an increased steaming temperat...

Correct interpretation of biochemical analytes is crucial for precise diagnosis and treatment of different diseases in production animals including pigs. Given the considerable distances between some farms and clinical laboratories in some countries like e.g. Norway, blood samples are sometimes delayed during shipment. If sample shipment should include a delay over weekend, transport duration m...

The design of grating-based instruments to handle and condition coherent ultrafast pulses in the extreme-ultraviolet is discussed. The main application of such instruments is the monochromatization of high-order laser harmonics and free-electron-laser pulses in the femtosecond time scale. Broad-band monochromators require the use of diffraction gratings at grazing incidence. A grating can be us...

In patients undergoing aortic valve replacement, allograft valves stored at 4OC in a nutrient medium have been associated with excellent immediate and long-term results. The effects of this method of prolonged storage on the antigenic, immunological, and cellular characteristics of these grafts are incompletely understood. This study was designed to study these phenomena in rat aortic valves su...

In this study, the effects of the storage duration of coffee cherries after harvest before putting out for sun drying on the kinetics of drying, fungi development and the variation of physicochemical content were evaluated. The results showed that the longer coffee cherries were stored after harvest before putting out for sun drying, the quicker they dried. Indeed, the drying durations were 19,...

The low thermal conductivity of phase change material (PCM) leads to low heat storage/retrieval rates. The expanded graphite (EG) was used to enhance the thermal conductivity. EG/paraffin composite with the 7% mass fraction of EG was prepared as a good candidate for the latent thermal energy storage (LTES) system. A shell and tube LTES system built for room heating and hot water supply in a fam...
