watercress is a leafy vegetable of the family brassicaceae that grows in and around water, it has a short shelf life (approximately seven days) and it is consumed raw or steamed. the objective of this work was to study the effect of packaging film and different storage temperature on the postharvest quality of watercress minimally processed. treatments were: packed with plain film (pd961ez, 31m...

Introduction: Micro-perforated absorbents are one of the structures that are widely used nowadays. The sound absorption mechanism is performed by viscous energy losses in the cavities on the plate. In this study, the acoustic properties of non-flat perforated panels in oblique angle was investigated in numerical method. Material and Methods: This paper examined the effect of the surface shape ...

Micro-perforated absorber is a newly developed sound absorber, and it has a number of attractive features: • Unlike conventional perforated absorbers, micro-perforated absorber can be made from transparent materials like plastic glass. • Unlike commonly used fibrous absorptive materials, micro-perforated absorber is fibrous-free and thus, there is no health concern. • Micro-perforated membranes...

nowadays cmm machines are widely used in surface measurement and inspection. as inspection results from cmm machine are obtained by the means of measuring surfaces with direct contact, they are more precise than non-contact method (like optical measurement). however, cmm machines give more reliable and accurate results rather than non-contact methods but also these results come with error when ...

One way to increase the heat transfer is to use perforated twisted tapes with different hole diameters, which largely improve heat transfer with an increase in the heat transfer area at the constant volume and more mixed flow. In the previous studies, the effect of nanofluids with perforated twisted tapes is less studied. In this work, the performance of water / iron oxide nanofluid in a double...

In this study, we tested for the presence and efÞcacy of hygienic behavior by Cape honey bees in South Africa and European honey bees, Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae), of mixed origin in the United States toward Aethina tumida Murray (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) eggs oviposited in sealed bee brood. We looked for colony differences in removal rates of brood in cells with cappings perforated...

The indispensable vital structure in any harbor is a breakwater in order to make available calm water region inshore. Pile breakwater can be employed as a small coastal protection structure where tranquility required is low. This study is concerned with CFD study on the performance of perforated hollow pile to dissipate wave energy and the novelty of this investigation is the role of perforatio...

To minimize unwanted noise, the exhaust gas of high pressure and high temperature coming out of internal combustion engine passes through silencer. Various types of silencers like absorptive, reactive and resonating, perforated type are widely implemented in actual practice .perforated reactive mufflers have an effective damping capability. This paper deals with comparative structural analysis ...

Abstract Copper oxides have some interesting photocatalytic properties and reasonably low price which makes them applicable as PN transistors. However, to obtain the best performance it is necessary increase specific working surface of materials plays a key role in many applications. Furthermore, by ordered spacing heterojunction formation possible fabricate systems with dedicated properties, l...
