physical and mechanical properties of alfalfa (medicago sativa, l.) grind are required for optimum design of equipment used in transporting, processing and storage of the material. this study was conducted to determine the effect of particle size (2.38, 3.36 and 4.76 mm) and moisture content (8, 9.3 and 11% wb) on some physical and mechanical properties of alfalfa grind. these properties includ...

aluminum foams are a novel branch of advanced materials with superior properties. sandwich structures with aluminum foam core are good energy absorbers. in this paper, mechanical properties and energy absorption of aluminum foam sandwich panels subjected to quasi-static perforation tests with conical-nosed indenter were investigated experimentally. for this purpose sandwich panels consisting of...

for the lattice constants i.e. 11 C , 12 C , 44 C , 44 12 C C − , 44 12 C C and bulk modulus B obtained using the Hartree (H) local field correction function has higher values in comparison with the results obtained for the same properties using Ichimaru-Utsumi (IU) local field correction function. The results for the Shear modulus ( C ′ ), deviation from Cauchy’s relation, Poisson’s ratio σ , ...

Specializing programs by partial evaluation is well defined extensionally, but in practice no intensional properties, such as what the specialized programs will look like or how they will run, can be ensured. We propose a technique for obtaining information about the intensional properties of specialized programs based only on the partial evaluator and the source program. This is useful, e.g., ...

The static dielectric properties of dense ionic fluids, e.g., room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) and inorganic fused salts, are investigated on different length scales by means of grandcanonical Monte Carlo simulations. A generally applicable scheme is developed which allows one to approximately decompose the electric susceptibility of dense ionic fluids into the orientation and the distort...

We report microscopic calculation of the static magnetic and spin‐wave properties of dilute antiferromagnetis (e.g. KMn1−x Zn xF3) and of dilute ferromagnetic garnets. The results are valid at low temperatures but are not restricted to low concentration of dilutents.

the category of verb as the nucleus of sentence has a significant importance in grammar. this grammatical category has specific semantic and syntactic characteristics in different languages. in role and reference grammar as a functional grammar, predicates are classified into five classes including states, activities, achievements, accomplishments and active-accomplishments. these five classes ...

in order to provide the data needed for the design of saffron processing equipment, physical properties of its flower were investigated. these properties included dimensions, mass, true and bulk densities, porosity, static and dynamic coefficients of friction, and terminal velocity as a function of moisture content. the average range of these properties for the three different parts of saff...
