Mud-induced dissipation of surface wave energy is a key mechanism that affects propagation in muddy environments. The properties fluid mud on seafloors required to simulate over shallow waters are often unknown investigations where reduction onshore fetch factor design coastal infrastructure. Direct observation and estimation the thickness complicated; this brings major complication against acc...

Olive cake is a sub-product of the mechanical olive oil extraction industry, which consists of pit and pulp of the olive fruit, olive oil and vegetable water. It has been using for direct combustion in bakeries and olive oil mills due to its energy content. However, the initial moisture content of olive cake is approximately 44.78% ± 0.5 (wet basis), and this has to be reduced to about 5% to re...

Soy isoflavones, found in soybean and soybean products, have been reported to possess many physiological activities such as antioxidant activity, inhibition of cancer cell proliferation, reduction of cardiovascular risk, prevention of osteoporosis and alleviation of postmenopausal syndrome. In our previous study, soy isoflavone extract ISO-1 (containing 12 soy isoflavones) from soybean cake was...

The aim of this study consisted of manufacturing renewable binderless fiberboards from coriander straw and a deoiled coriander press cake, thus at the same time ensuring the valorization of crop residues and process by-products. The press cake acted as a natural binder inside the boards owing to the thermoplastic behavior of its protein fraction during thermopressing. The influence of different...

In this paper we consider the following property: (⊛ Da) For every function f : R × R −→ R there are functions g 0 n , g 1 n : R −→ R (for n < ω) such that (∀x, y ∈ R)(f (x, y) = n<ω g 0 n (x)g 1 n (y)). We show that, despite some expectation suggested by [Sh 675], (⊛ Da) does not imply MA(σ–centered). Next, we introduce cardinal characteristics of the continuum responsible for the failure of (...

Abstract Different additives are added in the drilling mud to increase its efficiency terms of rheology and filtration properties. Recently, application ionic liquids (ILs) has been exploited by various investigators as a additive for improving rheology. The more recent studies have shown that imidazolium-based (the most used class fluids) toxic. Moreover, advancement green chemistry put big qu...

The aim of this study was to investigate the level of effectiveness and initial oral English communication needs of Indonesian learners when using OEC to perform the learning activities in the business administration department of Porliteknik Negri Ujung Pandang in Makassar. Conceptually, the needs of learners cover aspect of want, lack and necessity that will be developed as the indicators of ...

The starting material used in this study was a cake generated during thermo-mechanical fractionation of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) whole plant in a twin-screw extruder. It was slightly deoiled (16.7% of oil in dry matter). Composed mainly of fibers and proteins, it could be considered as a natural composite and was processed successfully into fiberboards by thermo-pressing. This study aim...

An air plasma spray process has been used to apply a model tri-layer Yb2SiO5/Al6Si2O13/Si environmental barrier coating system on SiC test coupons. Significant differences in the thermal expansion of the component layers resulted in periodically spaced mud cracks in the Yb2SiO5 and Al6Si2O13 layers. Upon thermal cycling between 1316°C and 110°C in a 90% H2O/10% O2 environment flowing at 4.4 cm/...

Fair cake-cutting is the division of a cake or resource among N users so that each user is content. Users may value a given piece of cake differently, and information about how a user values different parts of the cake can only be obtained by requesting users to “cut” pieces of the cake into specified ratios. One of the most interesting open questions is to determine the minimum number of cuts ...
