In complex task domains, such as games, students may exceed their teachers. Such tasks afford diverse means to tradeoff one type of performance for another, combining task elements in novel ways to yield method variations and strategy discoveries that, if mastered, might produce large or small leaps in performance. For the researcher interested in the development of extreme expertise in the wil...

ultrasound-assisted extraction was used to determine the optimum processing conditions and to achieve the maximum extraction yield and viscosity of the gum extracted from quince seed. using response surface methodology (rsm) to design the experiments and adopting the central composite rotatable design (ccrd), the effect of extraction temperature (25-55°c), time (3-10 minutes), and ph (6-8) were...

a pressurized fluid extraction (pfe) method for the extraction of pistachio oil was developed using a modified supercritical fluid extractor. the supercritical fluid extraction apparatus was modified to be able to pump liquid solvent and co2 into the extraction vessel alternatively. the experimental results showed that the extraction yield was independent of the extraction pressure. it was also...

This study aims to extract Glycyrrhizic Acid (GA) from Glycyrrhiza glabra L. (licorice) using a novel, high efficiency, and low-cost extraction method. Water was chosen as the proper solvent for the extraction process to eliminate the requirement of harmful and toxic solvents, prepare an environmentally friendly process, and reduce the costs. The effect of differe...

introduction: accumulation of free radicals could lead to permanent oxidative destruction of organisms by attacking macromolecules and organelles of the body, thus causing organism aging, fatigue and degenerative diseases. therefore, discovering and developing safe and non-toxic natural antioxidants has been an interesting topic in recent decades. compared to synthetic antioxidants, extracts fr...

Homogenate extraction method was applied to fast extraction of polysaccharides from loquat leaves. Factors which affected extraction yield were investigated and optimized by response surface methodology (RSM). Results showed that optimum technological conditions were as follows: ratio of liquid to material, 25 ml: 1g; extraction time, 100 s; and pH of extracting solvent, 11. Under optimum condi...

BACKGROUND Extraction conditions greatly affect composition, as well as biological activity. Therefore, optimization is essential for maximum efficacy. METHODS Korean Red Ginseng (KRG) was extracted under different conditions and antioxidant activity, extraction yield, and ginsenoside Rg1 and phenolic content evaluated. Optimized extraction conditions were suggested using response surface met...

This study investigates the oil extraction from Pistacia Khinjuk by the application of enzyme.Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) were applied formodeling and prediction of oil extraction yield. 16 data points were collected and the ANN was trained with onehidden layer using various numbers of neurons. A two-layered ANN provides the best results, us...

Aqueous extraction of basil seed mucilage was optimized using response surface methodology. A Central Composite Rotatable Design (CCRD) for modeling of three independent variables: temperature (40-91 °C); extraction time (1.6-3.3 h) and water/seed ratio (18:1-77:1) was used to study the response for yield. Experimental values for extraction yield ranged from 7.86 to 20.5 g/100 g. Extraction yie...
