Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMATHEMATICAL MODELING AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THIN LAYER HALOGEN DRYER OF STRAWBERRY AND STUDY IT’S EFFECT ON ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITYAsaad Rehman Saeed Al-Hilphy, Ali Khudhair Jaber AlRikabiThe halogen drying characteristics of strawberry (Fragaria ananassa Duch) slices were investigated. Drying experiments were carried out a three different drying temperatures (60, 70 and 80°C). The effect of drying temperature on the drying rate, drying coefficient, efficiency, effective diffusivity of the strawberry and antioxidant activity were evaluated. The best model for describing the halogen drying process was chosen by … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 30 Sep 2013 · 7,367 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractElapse Time Factor on Induced Vegetative Moisture Uptake in an Unsaturated SoilMuazu Mohammed Abdullahi, Nazri Bn Ali, Kamarudin Bn Haj AhmedProblem statement: Soil consolidation is generally time dependent, therefore soil displacement as a result root water uptake is space and time dependent. The time-dependent nature of abstraction of ground water by vegetation need to be evaluated in order understand the effect of time elapse on matric suction a generation and subsequent ground displacement. Approach: The current approach used the theory … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 4 Nov 2010 · 7,710 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of A Semi-Industrial Multi Fruit Dryer System Using Simultaneous Intelligent ControlMarjan Javanmard, Johari Endan, K. A. Abbas, Farshad ArvinProblem statement: This study presented a semi-industrial fruit dryer machine which is useful to dry different types of fruit. The drying process and its functions are selectable by user to obtain a multi dryer system. Approach: A microcontroller base controller that enables to simultaneous monitoring was utilized. There are two types of sensors as the inputs of system which are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 8,157 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProximate Analysis of Dragon Fruit (Hylecereus polyhizus)Ruzainah Ali Jaafar, Ahmad Ridhwan Bin Abdul Rahman, Nor Zaini Che Mahmod, R. VasudevanProblem statement: Dragon fruit (Hylecereus polyhizus) is well known for the rich nutrient contents and it is commercially available worldwide for improving many health problems. Several studies show the proximity value of red pitaya fruits but the nutrient composition of the stem has not been extensively studied. Approach: This study was carried out to measure the proximate analysis of moisture … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 14,057 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiagnosis of MV Oil Filled Cable Terminations with X-Ray Imaging and Infrared (IR) ThermographyMohd. Rafi Adzman, Ismail Daut, Muzamir Isa et al.A main purpose of doing a diagnostic in cable system including its accessories such as impregnated paper insulated oil filled cable termination is to predict failure before they occur. Those cable and accessories, which are about to fail, can be replaced, thereby reducing the incidence of electrical system failure, thus reducing the electricity outages. This paper presents the work carried … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,679 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeasurement of Gas-Phase Mass Transfer Coefficients in a Humidification Column through Random PackingMasoud Khorasani, Morteza Zivdar, Farshad Fashchi Tabrizi et al.Packed columns are an important part of the broad selection of mass and heat transfer equipment. Nowadays, the use of packed columns is increasing, which is because of its lower pressure drop, higher capacity and higher mass transfer in comparison to tray columns. The experiential tests and the hypothetical analysis display that the chemical dehumidification of air by hygroscopic salt … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 18 Jul 2019 · 8,028 accessesView PDFCite

The aim of the research is to study and to prove the effective way of presowing treatment of … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 17 Jun 2017 · 7,241 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWater Filter Fabrication from a Mixture of KMnO4 Modified Kapok Carbon Fiber, Zeolite, Bentonite and Clay for Fe3+Removal and Water Hardness TreatmentKannika Thongdee, Kalayaporn Parun, Suphakrit Benjatitmongkhon et al.A water filter was fabricated from a mixture of KMnO4 modified kapok carbon fiber, zeolite, bentonite and kaolinite clay for Fe3+ removal and water hardness treatment. The effects of amount of KMnO4 modified kapok carbon fiber (30-60 wt%), zeolite (20-40 wt%) and sintering temperature (500-700°C) on the properties of sintered products were evaluated. The best of sintered products were tested … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 6 · 15 Jun 2017 · 7,580 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSetting Shrinkage Characteristics of Methyl Methacrylate-Modified Vinyl Ester Polymer ConcreteKi-Bong Choi, Seung-Ho Min, Kyu-Seok YeonThis study evaluated the setting shrinkage characteristics of Methyl Methacrylate (MMA)-modified vinyl ester polymer concrete with different curing ages, MMA contents and curing temperatures. Results have shown that most of the setting shrinkage developed within 24 h after curing initiation. It was also found that an increase in MMA content led to an almost linear decrease in setting shrinkage, indicating … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 5 · 17 May 2016 · 8,300 accessesView PDFCite
