In static load tests vibrating wire strain gages are generally used. The advantage of vibrating wire sensors over more conventional electrical resistance or semi-conductor types lies mainly in the sensor output, which is a frequency rather than a voltage or resistance. The frequency output is easier to transmit over long cables and is unaffected by voltage drops such as those which can be broug...

Different heat-moisture levels were applied to native starches from different cultivars of sweet potatoes available in Sri Lanka (Wariyapola red, Wariyapola white, Pallepola variety, Malaysian variety and CARI 273) to study the digestibility level. Samples were treated with 20, 25, and 30% moisture at 85°C and 120°C for 6 h and in vitro starch digestibility was tested with porcine pancreatin en...

This research paper deals with the synthesis and characterization of corn starch based composites using resorcinolformaldehyde as cross linker. Acid, base and moisture resistance studies of the composites were also done. Moreover, biodegradation studies of the composites were also done using composting method and the different stages of the biodegradation were evaluated using scanning electron ...

lemon is one of the most important citrus fruit and is consumed as fresh and dry. in this study the effect of fruit moisture content on the size, sphericity, geometric mean diameters and kernel density were studied. the bulk density and porosity were also evaluated in three different arrangements. airflow resistance is a fundamental parameter for designing an efficient drying and aeration syste...
