In this letter, elastic properties of highly anisotropic cellular poly(propylene) films are reported. The material shows peculiar elastic properties compared to other foams in the literature. The data is displayed as the relative Young’s modulusE∗/Es versus relative density ρ∗/ρs. Almost all the data from the literature are located on the region E∗/Es = (ρ ∗/ρs) n with 1 ≤ n ≤ 6. The introduced...

To evaluate the feasibility of substituting eggs in yellow cake by a mixture of soybean proteins, plant polysaccharides, and emulsifiers, the batter properties, including specific gravity and viscosity; cake properties, including specific volume, texture, colour, moisture, microstructures, and structural properties of starch and glutens of the replaced cake and traditional cake containing egg, ...

Cockroach surveys using sticky traps were conducted in urban areas of 14 Thailand provinces. At least 30 houses in each province were randomly sampled for cockroaches. Each house was trapped in three areas: kitchen, bedroom and outside. A total of 2,648 cockroaches was caught by 550 out of 1,542 traps (35.7%), from 337 of the 514 houses (65.6%). Overall, relative density ranged from 2.6 to 9.1 ...

The objective of this experiment was to replace soya bean oil with glycerol in laying hen diets and assess the change's effect on performance, parameters of egg quality and the egg fatty acid profile. A total of 60 44-week-old Hy-Line W36 laying hens were distributed according to a completely randomised experimental design into four treatments consisting of glycerol substitutions for soya bean ...

chubak extract because of its high saponin content, is a unique agent in production stable foam meantime has high pharmaceutical properties. the purpose of current research is to gain these advantages of chubak extract in sponge cake production. for this purpose 25, 50 and 75% of egg white in sponge cake was substituted with this extract and the effects of such substitution on physicochemical a...

background: accumulation of pleural and peritoneal fluid is seen in some diseases. in order to diagnose the disease and start the treatment, one of the most important actions will be to differentiate between exudates and transudates. the objective of this study was to determine the diagnostic value of measuring the specific gravity of the fluid through refractometer and strip in differentiation...
