Thermal properties are necessary for the design and control of processes and storage facilities of food materials. This study proposes the measurement of thermal properties using easily constructed probes with specific heat capacity calculated, as opposed to the use of Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) or other. These probes were constructed and used to measure thermal properties of white...

The phenomenon of steam–water direct contact condensation has significance in a wide range industrial applications. Superheated steam was injected upward into cylindrical water vessel. Visual observations were conducted on turbulent jet to determine the dimensionless length compared nozzle exit diameter and maximum swelling ratio as function mass flux at exit, with gas ranging from 295–883 kg/m...

A 3-D flow and heat transfer theoretical model was established for a 5 mm micro-fin tube to explore the characteristics of supercritical CO2/R41 therein under different pressures, mass fluxes, components. The research attempts provide reference selecting components working media setting pressure flux in application scenarios. Results show that closer temperature medium critical temperature, lar...

Memory deficits and other cognitive symptoms frequently associated with mTBI are commonly thought to resolve within 7-10 days. This generalization is based principally on observations made in individuals who are in the unstressed environmental conditions typical of a clinic and so does not consider the impact of physiologic, environmental, or psychological stress. Normobaric hypoxic stress can ...

We describe general web-based photo management solutions. We will see how thesesolutions provide users with search and browsing functionalities but little more than this. We will then describe systems that take photo management to a further step and provide users with additional information. The systems that we first describe are contextbased services that provide users with some information. T...

Intercropped corn (Zeu mays L.) and soybean [Glycine mux (L.) Merr.] may produce more total yield per hectare than either grown separately, ie., land equivalent ratio (LER) >l. Low N fertility, limited moisture, and weed competition have each been reported to result in high land equivalent ratios. Thus it was hypothesized that intercropping advantages were greater under stress conditions. The o...

The objective of this study was to verify whether caries and periodontal diseases, when present on the distal surface of the second molars (M2s), are associated with the eruption of the third molars (M3s). In this split-mouth study, we evaluated 70 elderly patients with unilateral maxillary or mandibular M3s who presented to the outpatient clinics of two hospitals. Patients underwent comprehens...

a palladium composite membrane was prepared via electroless plating technique using organic-inorganic method during activation process. the ceramic support surface was modified by two tio2-boehmite and one γ-alumina layers to avoid pd penetration in support pores. thin and defect-free pd composite membrane was obtained by creating a relative smoothness on the ceramic support and using pd nanopa...

For a measuring instrument, a usual way to find the probability distribution of its measurement errors is to compare its results with the results of measuring the same quantity with a much more accurate instrument. But what if we are interested in estimating the measurement accuracy of a state-of-the-art measuring instrument, for which no more accurate instrument is possible? In this paper, we ...
