in this study, potential application of image texture analysis as a non-destructive method for automation and prediction of mechanical properties of carrot chips was investigated. samples were fried at different processing conditions and moisture content, colour parameters (i.e. l*, a*, b* and e) and mechanical properties (i.e. hardness and apparent modulus) were determined. hardness and appar...

This article examines the use of laboratory tests for managing mechanical ventilation. Blood gas analysis is a common test widely used for this purpose, and this is evaluated in detail. Other tests, however, provide valuable insight into the management of patients receiving mechanical ventilation. These include serum electrolytes, thyroid function tests, and adrenal function tests.

The aim of the present study was to measure various mechanical properties of acrylic denture base resins, including flexural modulus, flexural strength, fracture toughness, Barcol and Vickers hardness and their related properties, and to investigate correlations between different mechanical properties. Resin specimens were prepared according to manufacturers' recommended instructions. The mecha...

tistical evaluation of the items in the Stanford Binet and, incidentally, of certain performance tests that might indicate the presence of mechanical ability. The theory that general intelligence and mechanical ability are distinct traits is consistently confirmed by the low correlations found between tests of intelligence and mechanical ability. Almost all of these studies are based on the tot...
