Objective(s): Carotenoids which are naturally synthesized by fungi such as yeasts can act as an antioxidant which is closely related to their ability to decrease the risk of a variety of degenerative diseases. In recent years, the increase of demand for carotenoids obtained from natural sources has promoted major efforts to improve carotenoid production from biological sources such...

In the present research, thixoforming route was carried out in order to enhance the microstructural features of LM28 piston alloy. Typical microstructure of this alloy was composed of coarse, polygonal primary silicon particles, eutectic matrix and intermetallic phases. Thermal analysis was carried out to study the solidification path of the base alloy and determine the major arrest temperature...

The dissimilar welding of titanium and copper by fusion is very difficult because the melting points materials are highly different strong brittle intermetallic compounds (IMCs) can be easily produced in welded zone heat-affected zone, etc. Friction stir was employed as a type solid-state for Ti/Cu to obtain sound reduce total process cost. This study investigated how metal flow changes accordi...

The concept concerned in this paper is based on energy conversion of the ocean waves via rotational generators. objective research to develop a new type slow-motion converter. LRTC device consists drum that connected wire floating buoy. rotary generators are heavily braked when direction movement changes (up/down); because have been charged maximum load order obtain output power. For upcoming i...

Recently, Microsoft introduced a game interface called Kinect for the Xbox 360 video game platform. This interface enables users to control and interact with the game console without the need to touch a controller. It largely increases the users’ degree of freedom to express their emotion. In this paper, we first describe the system we developed to use this interface for sound generation and co...

In this work, the ability of the MgCaFe- Layered double hydroxide (LDH) for congo red (CR) dye removal in aqueous solution was investigated. Various parameters such as initial dye concentrations, temperature, adsorbent dosage, pH effect and agitation rate were examined and optimal conditions (10 mgL-1 of the dye concentration, 25 °C of temperature, 0.5 gL-1 of the adsorbent dosage, pH~7 and 450...
