Ground cylindrical steel fluid storage tanks are widely used in different industries. Regarding the significance of these structures, it is important to establish their proper performance in earthquakes by evaluating their seismic performance. The present study examines the seismic behavior of an unanchored fluid storage system via ABAQUS after validation using an experimental model. Next, the ...

decline in postharvest losses of kiwifruit depended to maintain of quality characteristics during storage and transportation. storage losses caused serious economic losses in kiwifruit. this study was conducted to inhibition of pathogen infection and increasing fruit quality of kiwifruit. hayward kiwifruits inoculated by b.cinerea conidia through pore wounds which formed by removal of the pedic...

background and objective: the current study was undertaken to check in vitro different characteristics of lactobacillus plantarum as potential probiotic. these characteristics include viability of probiotic and ph during cold storage, tolerance to acid and bile, and antibiotic resistance. material and methods: samples of yogurt were stored at 4°c and analyzed in time 0, 1, 3, 7, 10 and 14 days ...

differential scanning calorimetry (dsc), temperature programmed desorption mass spectrometry (tpd-ms) and small angle neutron scattering (sans) were used to investigate co2 uptake by the wyodak coal. adsorption of carbon dioxide on wyodak coal was studied by dsc. the exotherms evident at low temperatures are associated with the uptake of co2 suggesting that carbon dioxide interacts strongly wit...

bananas are climacteric fruits and controlling ripening is effective in reducing loss. this experiment studied the effect of packaging (plastic bag, edible wax and plastic bag, plastic bag and 2 or 4 g/kg potassium permanganate) over 5 weeks of cold storage on the quality and characteristics of cavendish cultivar bananas. the samples were removed from storage at 8, 16, 24, 32 and 40 days and fr...

post-harvest management of potatoes is a major challenge in iran. approximately 30% of the harvest is lostafter a few months of storage. the chemical methods for long term storage are not adequate to controldeterioration and also produce undesirable side effects. to address this issue, a study on radiationpreservation of potatoes was carried out. agria potato bulbs were irradiated using beta be...

seed protein profiles of 47 accessions belonging to eleven species and four tribes of grain legumes were studied, by extracting the total proteins from ten single seeds in each accession and performing sds-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. all eleven species were clearly recognizable from their protein banding patterns, but only phaseolus vulgaris expressed high intraspecific variations, ...

an investigation was carried out to reveal the changes in the concentration of soluble carbohydrates under tuber dormancy in food yam (dioscorea esculenta) tubers and in an economically important spice cum medicinal plant turmeric (curcuma longa) rhizomes under storage. harvested, fully matured tubers of yam and rhizomes of turmeric were stored in wooden boxes under the conditions of 28 ? 2?c t...
