Pollen load affects quality of red-fleshed dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus)
(International Society for Horticultural Science (ISHS), 2013-11-15)
Dragon fruits are graded and priced according to fruit weight. Large fruit is not necessarily demanded by consumers especially small families. Currently the demanded size for dragon fruit is about 300 g per fruit. However, ...
Economic benefit from the optimization of citric acid production from rice straw through Plackett-Burman design and central composite design
(TÜBİTAK., 2012)
An economic study was carried out to show the benefits of optimization during the production of
citric acid from rice straw as a substrate by solid-state fermentation (SSF) using Aspergillus niger. The
optimization ...
Smart prolong fuzzy wireless sensor-actor network for agricultural application
(Institute of Information Science, 2012-03)
The advances in pervasive communication, sensing and computing of wireless sensor networks technologies are leading to the emergence of wireless sensor-actor networks. The spreading merit of WSAN has led to increasing ...
Optimization of complex fermentation media for glucose oxidase production using statistical approach
(Asian Network for Scientific Information (ANSINET), 2013)
Production cost of enzyme is largely determined by the type of the strain and raw material used to propagate the strain. Hence, selection of the strain and raw materials is crucial in enzyme production. For Glucose oxidase ...
Cure characteristics and hardness of recycled latex catheter (LCr) filled with Standard Malaysia Rubber (SMR L) compounds
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
The effect of cure characteristics and hardness of LCr filled SMR L compound were investigated. The size of LCr were 20 - 25 mm in range. Six compounds; 0, 5, 15, 2 5, 35 and 5 0 per hundred rubber (phr) of LCr were prepared ...
The influences of tor as a compatibilizer on cure characteristic and morphological properties of SBR/CRr blends
(AENSI Publisher All rights reserved, 2013-10)
Cure characteristics and morphological studies were performed to determine the influences of TOR as a compatibilizer of styrene butadiene rubber/recycled chloroprene rubber (SBR/CRr) Blends. Both uncompatibilised and ...
A rapid technique to determine purity of edible bird nest
(AENSI Publisher All rights reserved, 2013-10)
Edible bird nest (EBN) is a gelatinous substance produced by different species of swiflets during the breeding season. It is widely consumed as a health food product for its high beneficial effects to human being. In recent ...
Tensile properties and FTIR analysis of HDPE/soya spent powder in oven aging
(AENSI Publisher All rights reserved, 2013-10)
This investigation involves pure HDPE and then HDPE with addition of soya spent powder with different weight percentagesbefore and after exposing in the oven aging. The characteristics of pure HDPE and HDPE/ soya spent ...
Optimization of hot pressing parameters in membrane electrode assembly fabrication by response surface method
(Elsevier Ltd, 2013-07)
The aim of this research was to study the effect of the membrane electrode assembly fabrication factors on the performance of a passive micro direct methanol fuel cell by studying the hot pressing parameters. The MEA was ...
Physical and morphological properties of styrene butadiene rubber/recycled chloroprene rubber (SBR/CRr) blends
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
The effects of physical and morphological properties of styrene butadiene rubber/virgin chloroprene rubber blends (SBR/CRv) and styrene butadiene rubber/recycled chloroprene rubber blends (SBR/CRr) were investigated. Both ...
