Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReinforcing Effect of Strain Gauges on 3D Printed Polymers: An Experimental InvestigationSalvatore Brischetto, Roberto TorreStrain gauges are ordinary transducers for strain measuring; their operation relies on the electrical resistance, which varies as the underlying substrate is subjected to mechanical deformation. The mechanical strain can be obtained by converting the electrical signal through a gauge factor, provided by the manufacturer. It was demonstrated that its values are not unique; it may be influenced by the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 9 Jan 2021 · 7,658 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy the Relationship between the Microstructure and Characteristics of Quinoa Starch by Compared with Common Cereal StarchesMenyue Jiao, Yumei Gao, Yiling TianThe amylose and amylopectin contents, viscoelastic properties, freeze-thaw stability and Scanning Electron Micrographs (SEM) of quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd) were studied to explore the microstructural property relationships. Compared with wheat, corn, rice and waxy rice starches, quinoa starch had special characteristics connected to its unique microstructure. The high ratio of amylopectin to amylose (12.03) in quinoa starch affected its functional … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 17 Dec 2020 · 7,256 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImage Analysis with Legendre Moment DescriptorsAmy Chiang, Simon LiaoIn this research, a numerical integration method is proposed to improve the computational accuracy of Legendre moments. To clarify the improved computation scheme, image reconstructions from higher order of Legendre moments, up to 240, are conducted. With the more accurately generated moments, the distributions of image information in a finite set of Legendre moments are investigated. We have concluded that … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 15 Sep 2014 · 7,360 accessesView PDFCite
