Cashew plant is a tree in the family Anacardiaceous. with botanical name Anacardium occidentale extensively cultivated tropics mainly for its apples and nuts. This study aims at investigating interactions of physical properties cashew nuts moisture content. The size shape were described relation to surface area sphericity, geometric mean diameter arithmetic diameter. They characterized using es...

green fig, a fruit usually consumed as dried is one of the important non-oil export agricultural commodities of iran. physical properties of green fig are vital parameters as regards the design of such post harvest processing equipments as dryers, sorters and storing chambers. in this research work the effect of moisture content on fruit characteristic dimensions, geometric mean diameter, spher...

Unit disk graphs are the intersection graphs of unit diameter closed disks in the plane. This paper reduces SATISFIABILITY to the problem of recognizing unit disk graphs. Equivalently, it shows that determining if a graph has sphericity 2 or less, even if the graph is planar or is known to have sphericity at most 3, is NP-hard. We show how this reduction can be extended to 3 dimensions, thereby...

Depending on humidity, some technical properties of T. chebula (black halile) dried fruit were investigated. It was observed that various properties, such as dimension, geometric mean diameter, and arithmetic increased linearly with increasing moisture content. With the increase in content, sphericity from 57.2% to 67.7%, surface area 487.65 mm2 805.03 mm2, porosity 0.49 0.59, angle repose 22.7...

Many accuracy measures have been proposed in the past for time series forecasting comparisons. However, many of these measures suffer from one or more issues such as poor resistance to outliers and scale dependence. In this paper, while summarising commonly used accuracy measures, a special review is made on the symmetric mean absolute percentage error. Moreover, a new accuracy measure called t...

some physical properties such as geometrical, gravimetrical, frictional and aerodynamic features of seeds of desi chickpea and its splits were studied at a moisture content of 8.2 and 9.0% w., respectively from north-western of iran. geometrical and gravimetrical properties including the average length, width, thickness, the geometric mean of diameter, sphericity, 1000-seed weight, unit weight,...

background and objectives: scolymus is one of most abundant plants of mountain areas iran, because of role in the digestion of food auxiliary is located the focus of attention consumers. in iran, more than 17 percent of crops in various stages of the supply becomes losses, which requires knowledge of physical properties, mechanical and hydrodynamic agricultural products. the existence of the in...

Background: Pulses are a kind of legume crops which can be utilised for both food and animal feed. also termed “poor man’s meat” because high protein content. The physical properties pulses useful to design the processing equipment. moisture content agricultural materials greatly affects various properties. Nitty-gritty data on germination physico-mechanical provided in this paper at different ...

This study was carried out to determine some morphological and physiological characteristics of common vetch seeds. The in the laboratories Bingöl University, Faculty Agriculture, Biosystem Engineering Field Crops departments 2019-2020. Alt?no?lu-2001, Aneto, Ankaramoru08, Cumhuriyet-99, Orakefe Tamkoç-2000 varieties were used as plant material. Morphological features seeds are length (mm), wid...
