jujube (zizyphus jujube mill), a valuable medicinal plant, is consumed either as fresh fruit or dried product in iran. drying jujube guarantees a longer shelf time while preserving its quality to be used in medical and pharmaceutical industries. in this research paper, the influence of several drying conditions on the effective moisture diffusivity, activation energy, energy consumption and req...

thin layer drying of russian olive (elaeagnusan gastifolial l.) fruit using a hot air dryer in order to calculate effective moisture diffusivity, activation energy and energy consumption has been evaluated in this article. the selected variables included three levels of air velocity of 0.5, 1 and 1.5 m/s and three air temperature levels of 50, 60 and 70°c. increased air temperature increased ef...

the combined effect of hydrostatic pressure and temperature on correlation energy in a triplet state of two electron spherical quantum dot with square well potential is computed. the result is presented taking gaas dot as an example. our result shows the correlation energies are i)negative in the triplet state contrast to the singlet state ii) it increases with increase in pressure  iii)further...

Rare K decays are an important testing ground of the electroweak flavour theory. They can provide new signals of CP–violation phenomena and, perhaps, a window into physics beyond the Standard Model. The interplay of long–distance QCD effects in strangeness–changing transitions can be analyzed with Chiral Perturbation Theory techniques. Some theoretical predictions obtained within this framework...

the objective of this study was to investigate the drying kinetics of oyster mushroom, pleurotus ostreatus mushrooms were dried using a cabinet-type convective dryer. air temperatures of 50, 60 and 70 oc were used for the drying experiments. the experimental drying data were fitted to different theoretical models to predict the drying kinetics. nonlinear regression analysis was performed to rel...

2014 Bulk composition, surface and volume structures and optical characterization of selective black chromium coatings used for photothermal conversion of solar energy are presented. A model of the optical properties, taking into account all these parameters and using Maxwell Garnett and Effective Medium Theories for the determination of an effective dielectric constant for the inhomogeneous an...
