This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of adding purple-fleshed sweet potato (PFP) powder on the texture properties and sensory characteristics of cooked pork sausage. Sodium nitrite alone and sodium nitrite in combination with PFP were added to five different treatments sausages (CON (control) = 0.01% sodium nitrite, SP25 = 0.005% sodium nitrite and 0.25% purple-fleshed sweet potato ...

As a special class of images, texture can represent the surface characteristics of one object, e.g. terrain, vegetation, mineral and fur, etc. This paper combines perceptual texture features and wavelet features for texture image classification. Three new texture features which are proved to be in accordance with human visual perception are introduced. These features include directionality, con...

Soil amendments are used to improve soil quality, thereby enhancing plant growth and health. Efforts have been made replace synthetic chemical enhancers. It is also preferable not use natural products such as peat moss, the harvesting of which can be harmful marine ecosystems. Viable replacements include worm castings, contribute beneficial microbes, well physicochemical amendments. Another pot...
