Let n be an odd integer greater than 1. We slice a circular pizza into 2n slices, making cuts from non-central interior point of the circle. estimate difference between total area even numbered slices and slices.

drying properties of high moisture potato slices with initial moisture content of about 4.06 (db) under thin layer fixed, semi fluidized and fluidized bed conditions were studied. drying air temperatures of 40, 50, 60 and 70°c were applied in experiments using a laboratory fluidized bed convective dryer. in order to predict the drying behavior of potato slices, seven thin layer drying models we...

the exact developmental origin of microglia is still under debate. in the present study we investigated which heamatopoietic tissues and which features of the organotypic brain slice culture promoted microglia ramification. the potential of cells derived from embryonic yolk sac, embryonic aorta-gonad-mesonephros and adult blood monocytes was examined. these tissues were co-cultured with brain s...

Objective(s) Bupropion is an atypical antidepressant that is widely used in smoke cessation under FDA approval. The study of synaptic effects of bupropion can help to finding out its mechanism(s) for stopping nicotine dependence. In this study the effects of perinatal bupropion on the population spike (PS) amplitude of neonates were investigated. Materials and Methods Hippocampal slices were...

Many approaches to slicing rely upon the ‘fact’ that the union of two static slices is a valid slice. It is known that static slices constructed using program dependence graph algorithms are valid slices [19]. However, this is not true for other forms of slicing. For example, it has been established that the union of two dynamic slices is not necessarily a valid dynamic slice [8]. In this paper...

garlic (allium sativuml.) is one of the most important allium spice. from an economic point of view, the dried garlic slices are valuable products. in this research, garlic slices as a thin layer were dried in a laboratory scale hot-air dryer, under air flow of 1.5 m/s, air temperatures of 50, 60 and 70˚c and slice thicknesses of 2, 3 and 4 mm. the mean values of shrinkage of garlic slices obta...
