In this paper, the effect of infrared (IR) roasting conditions on Aflatoxins and total counts of two types of Iranian pistachio kernels, long and round, was studied. The optimized roasting conditions, 70 V for round pistachios and 90 V for long pistachios with 10 cm distance from IR source were used. Naturally Aflatoxin-contaminated kernels were supplied and roasted. Microbiological an...

Wastewater and sewage sludge contain organic matter that can be valorized through conversion into energy and/or green chemicals. Moreover, resource recovery from these wastes has become the new focus of wastewater management, to develop more sustainable processes in a circular economy approach. The aim this review was analyze current management systems Scandinavia with respect recovery, combina...

In the temperature range of 10 to 80 ºC and in a batch digester, a typical activated sludge was digested aerobically. Reaction rate constants were determined by measuring the amounts of volatiles removed from the suspended solids at different time intervals during the process. The maximum value of the reaction rate constant (0.45 d-1) occurred in the temperature...

Since the inception of the Diffie-Hellman protocol in 1976, it has been an elusive open problem to construct a one-round group key exchange (GKE) protocol. In this paper, we investigate the open problem and answer it in a modular way. We first revisit the GKE definition and distinguish the conventional (symmetric) group key exchange from asymmetric group key exchange (ASGKE) protocols. In the l...

Round ligament leiomyoma of uterus is rare. It can be presented as inguinal swelling mimicking the inguinal hernia or lymph node. Surgical excision is its curative treatment. Definitive diagnosis is made by histopathological examination. A 32 year old pregnant patient having round ligament leiomyoma as diagnosed histopathologically in Recep Tayyip Erdogan University Hospital in 2014 was present...

On continuous media(CM) servers, data are handled periodically. The length of the period or round length has a strong innuence on the performance of CM servers, and the optimal round length for a server is determined mainly by the bit rate of the media object. As far as we know, all existing disk scheduling schemes are of single round length, in which all objects are serviced using a same round...

Different methods of urban sewage sludge energy recovery such as burning, gasification, pyrolysis and digestion based on the net energy production efficiency, advantages and disadvantages and complexity of these processes have been investigated in this article. The best method for energy production from sludge was selected among different methods according to energy and the amount of the greenh...

Luby and Rackoo idealized DES by replacing each round function with one large random function. In this paper, we introduce a primitive-wise idealization in which some of the primitive operations of the round function are left untouched and some of them are replaced with small random functions or permutations. We then prove that a four round primitive-wise idealized RC6 is not a pseudorandom per...
