Roasting is among the most common methods of nut processing causing physical and chemical changes and ultimately increasing overall acceptance of the product. In this research, the effects of temperature (90, 120 ,and 150°C), time (20, 35 ,and 50 min) ,and roasting air velocity (0.5, 1.5 ,and 2.5 m/s) on gravimetrical properties of pistachio nuts and kernels including unit mass, true density, o...

 Background and Objectives:Rapid processing of histopathological specimens and decreased turnaround time is important to fulfill the needs of clinicians treating sick patients, so the present study was conducted to compare the time taken and quality of sections in processing of prostatic tissue by rapid microwave and conventional techniques using morphometry. Methods: Four to five mm thick p...

abstract: vacuum deep-fat frying is a new technology that can be used to improve the quality attributes of fried food because of the low temperatures employed and minimal exposure to oxygen. in this paper the effect of frying process parameters, namely frying time, frying temperature and pressure on the quality factors of fried kiwi slices was studied. a laboratory scale vacuum frying apparatus...

flow shop sequencing problem is included in np-hard problems and a number of heuristic methods have been developed to solve it. most of these methods are offered for the crisp processing time. however fuzzy algorithm is appropriate for the problems with fuzzy processing time. this paper presents a method in which an algorithm is used to minimize make span of flow shop with fuzzy processing time...

There are two main reasons the processing speed of current generation digital forensic tools is inadequate for the average case: a) users have failed to formulate explicit performance requirements; and b) developers have failed to put performance, specifically latency, as a top-level concern in line with reliability and correctness. In this work, we formulate forensic triage as a real-time comp...

Roasting is the most common way for pistachio nuts processing, and the purpose of that was to increase the products total acceptability. Purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of temperature (90, 120 and 150°C), time (20, 35 and 50 min), and roasting air velocity (0.5, 1.5 and 2.5 m/s) on geometrical attributes of pistachio nuts and kernels including principle dimensions, shape fac...

One of the earliest results in flow shop scheduling theory is an algorithm given by Johnson’s [1] for scheduling jobs on two or three machines to minimize the total elapsed time whenever the processing times of jobs are random. The present paper is an attempt to develop a heuristic algorithm for two stages specially structured flow shop scheduling in which the processing times of the jobs a...

the edible leafy vegetables contain nutritional ingredients that are necessary for human health and it is important that nutrients protection be monitored during processing and storage. the aim of this study was to study some organoleptic attributes of a very popular iranian meal named coco-sabzi, which was prepared with a mixture of edible grinded leafy vegetable pre-stored at different frozen...
