Kappaphycus alvarezii is kind of red seaweeds that can be cultivated to produce carrageenan. Fishermen in Kolorai Island South Morotai are this seaweed. A number studies show the quality carrageenan was determined by length times cultivation and coastal chemical physics parameter. The purpose study determine influence harvesting on different time characteristic ATC flour. Random design complete...

The present study considers a fuzzy color system in which three input fuzzy sets are constructed on the tone triangle. This system can process a fuzzy input to a tone triangular system and output to a color on the RGB triangular system. Three input fuzzy sets (not black, white, and light) are applied to the tone triangle relationship. By treating three attributes of chromaticness, whiteness, an...

A newly effective system was used to bleach ligno-cellulosic textile materials. This system is based on two different newly synthesized natrium oxo-diperoxo molybdates, Na2[MoO (O2)2(C2O4)] and Na2[MoO (O2)2(C6H6O7)]. These two compounds were characterized by means of cyclic voltammetry, and the bleached fabrics were fully characterized by measuring their whiteness index, percent loss in fabric...

Papers with a slightly blue shade are, at least among a majority of observers, perceived as whiter than papers having a more neutral color. Therefore, practically all commercially available printing papers contain bluish dyes and fluorescent whitening agents (FWA) to give the paper a whiter appearance. Furthermore, in the Paper Industry, the most frequently used measure for paper whiteness is t...

the objective of this study was to examine the effects of the fluidized-bed drying me-thod on the final quality of two varieties of iranian rice, medium- and long grain. the re-sults were compared to that of paddy drying using a traditional method. rough rice was treated in the fluidized bed drier at 140ºc for 2 minutes. similar samples were dried for 8-10 hrs by the traditional method. dried s...

Adopting a hemispheric perspective, this essay problematizes the construct of latinidad by foregrounding how it reproduces Black erasure. I argue that “Latin America,” rather than being geographical designator, is an imagined community Eurocentric to degree its conceptual boundaries exclude African diaspora spaces. then turn understandings whiteness across borders, contrasting perceptions racia...
