Introduction: Imaging with a reduced field of view (rFOV) is a way to reduce distortion in EPI by acquiring fewer phase-encode lines. However in cases in which regions of signal lie outside the phase field of view, aliasing will occur. This problem has been addressed by suppressing the volume outside the reduced field of view [1] and also by 2D selective excitation [2]. The latter is limited by...

Heterodera schachtii developed to maturity and reproduced on the lateral roots of defoliated sugarbeet which were buried to a depth of 2.5 cm in sterilized soil and inoculated with cysts. Nematodes did not develop on detached lateral roots or on roots of young defoliated beets which did not have a large tap root. The storage roots of large rooted plants were sliced, placed in small jars, inocul...

In the current study, effects of steam blanching, saline immersion, and ultrasound pretreatment on drying time, three-dimensional (3D) appearance, quality characteristics, microstructure potato slices were investigated. All methods enhanced kinetics relative to untreated slices. The 3D appearance was evaluated by reconstructed images, shrinkage, curling degree. images could well reproduce chang...

Potato chips and French fries are products which often used in the human diet. The aim of this study was to investigate influence cutting thickness, shape moisture content on palm olein uptake, as well quality during production fried potatoes. Blanching operation conducted water for 3 minutes at a temperature 85oC, while frying process 165oC. peroxide value free fatty acid (% oleic acid) were d...
