Evaluation of active earth pressure in seismic condition is one of the important problems of geotechnical earthquake engineering. In this study the static and seismic active earth pressure exerted by a homogeneous backfill behind a rigid retaining wall is evaluated using Horizontal Slice Method (HSM). Both cohesionless and cohesive soils are considered using c- soil in the formulation. The fai...

Cereal Chem. 87(5):409–414 Three factors (extent of chlorination, milling extraction rate, and particle-size reduction) in cake-baking functionality of Croplan 594W flour were explored using a Rapid Visco-Analyser (RVA) and time-lapse photography. The extent of chlorination and milling extraction rate showed dramatic effects, but postmilling to reduce flour particle size was a less significant ...

Abstrad-A flying ball is observed by stereo TV cameras on whch its images are extraded by using color b tance algorithm along with background scene cancellation method. A flying ball spatial coordmates are calculated by the triangulation, and the ball arriving position on the batter plane is forecast by applying adaptive forecast functions. All these procedures are made in real time by conventi...

Dextran a polymer of glucose is produced by different microorganisms like Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lactobacillus sps, Streptococcus mutants, Weissella confusa etc. It has a wide range of applications in the food, pharmaceuticals and other industries. It also has significant role in green synthesis of silver nanoparticles. In the present study an efficient low molecular dextran produced by an ...

background: every year many organizations formulate a code of ethics (coe) but when it comes to implementing, it does not achieve the desired purposes. ineffectiveness of coes can stem from different factors and surely, one of them is bad formulation. this research was conducted to identify the barriers to effective formulation of coes in one of the main state universities of medical sciences i...

Cereal Chem. 84(3):237–242 Viscosity is an important end-use attribute for some soft wheat flour formulations. Specifically, in formulations with minimal gluten development, such as batters (as in cake, pancake, and doughnut) and coatings (as in tempura), viscosity is important to leavening gas retention and flow characteristics. Current tests for predictors of viscosity leave considerable unex...
