this study examined if pre-germination altered the water content and water activity, contents of phytate, total phenolic, (±)-catechin, quercetin and total antioxidant capacity of almond  (prunus dulcis)kernel. raw almond kernels were submerged for 15 hours in water, 0.02 mol dm-3 phosphate buffer solution (ph 5.0) and 0.02 mol dm-3 phosphate buffer solution (ph 7.0) at 25 and 40ºc, respectivel...

TCP performance can be significantly affected when the buffer capacity at the routers is small. This is possible either because many flows share the network or that the bandwidth-delay product is large (e.g. satellite links). The behavior of various versions of TCP with respect to buffer capacity issues has not been studied in much detail. In this paper, we investigate the behavior and performa...

Available throughput performance studies for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) suffer from two major limitations: they mainly focus on the scaling law study of throughput, while the exact throughput of such networks remains largely unknown; they usually consider the infinite buffer scenarios, which are not applicable to the practical networks with limited buffer. As a step to address these limita...

The pH and buffer capacity of dry wood flakes from eleven southern species and their effects on gel time of phenol formaldehyde (PF) oriented strandboard resin with and without zinc borate addition were investigated in this study. It was shown that the pH of the hardwood flakes was acidic, with white oak being the most acidic (pH = 4.60) and elm nearly neutral (pH = 6.93). Southern pine flakes ...
