ripening is one of the most important stages in production of cheese. in this research to comprehensive study of uf cheese ripening as the major industrial cheese that is produced in iran, mass transfer, heat transfer and changes in quality and sensory properties, simultaneously considered and a mathematical model was developed to describe them. thus, at first, lipolysis, proteolysis, texture a...

Although Brazil is one of the main agricultural countries in world, it historically an importer wheat. For this reason, strategies aimed at expansion wheat country, to areas that are not traditionally producing (warmer), paramount importance. In breeding, phenotypic values ​​are usually used simultaneous selection, however, they do always correspond with genetic superiority. Therefore, objectiv...

In this study, the effects of coatings made of chitosan (Chi) incorporating thyme essential oil (TEO) on lipid oxidation and changing color indexes of walnut kernels were investigated. Chi: pure, in accompany with TEO at concentrations of 500 and 1000 microliter per liter, in an aqueous coating solution, with different packaging methods: Gunny sack, polypropylene and active packaging, compared ...

BACKGROUND Although the Netherlands currently has its own procedure for evaluating chemical compounds and setting occupational exposure limits (OELs), most of these limits were originally adopted in the 1970s from threshold limit values (TLVs) set by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH). However, beginning in the late 1980s, criticism about non-scientific consid...

In the world of Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) indexes are used to accelerate specific queries. The selection of indexes is an important task in database-tuning which is performed by a database administrator or an index selection tool which suggests a set of suitable indexes. In this paper we transfer the concept of specific indexes to XML Database Management Systems (XDBMS) and...

OBJECTIVE To investigate cut-off values for HOMA1-IR and HOMA2-IR to identify insulin resistance (IR) and metabolic syndrome (MS), and to assess the association of the indexes with components of the MS. METHODS Nondiabetic subjects from the Brazilian Metabolic Syndrome Study were studied (n = 1,203, 18 to 78 years). The cut-off values for IR were determined from the 90th percentile in the hea...

this study was evaluated some strategies and determined the suitable selection index for afshari sheep using simulated data. the relative importance of traits was determined based on the estimated economic values and consequently, the most benefit traits were applied to selection indexes construction. the interest indexes were different combination of traits including ewe body weight (ebw), ann...
