The term software architecture (SA) intuitively denotes the high level structures of a software system. It can be defined as the set of structures needed to reason about the software system, which comprise the software components and connectors, their relations and properties. Nowadays SA has become an important factor in the process of software development and the researches mainly focus on th...

in this study, the effect of accelerated ripening with encapsulated protease and lipase on physiochemical properties such as fat and moisture, texture and microstructure of brined cheese was investigated. addition of lipase increases hardness by reducing fat globules diameter and increasing casein matrix junction. it also decreases brittleness by fat degradation which is responsible for plastic...

The twig bases within the genus Salix were investigated. Brittleness of twig bases as defined in the literature neither correlates with Young's modulus nor with growth strains, which were measured for S. alba, S. fragilis and S. x rubens. For the species S. alba, S. appendiculata, S. eleagnos, S. fragilis, S. purpurea, S. triandra, S. viminalis, and S. x rubens, fracture surfaces of broken twig...

The brittleness of dental amalgam limits its use to sites in which tensile stresses can be kept at a minimum. If the cause for the brittleness could be ascertained, then an approach to correct this problem could be devised. Physical properties of metals are ultimately manifested in, and can be explained by, their microstructure. Through the work of several researchers,1-3 means of identifying t...
