Semantan bamboo(Gigantochloa scortechinii Gamble) was used as a raw material and the results showed that the VG-method required the longest processing time(32.1 min), followed by the SS-method(18.2 min), and the SE-method(17.9 min). However, the VG-method showed the highest recovery(82.0%) compared to the SS-method and SE-method, 31.0 and 49.4%, respectively. When both processing time and recovery factors were combined with the same weighing factor, the highest value was recorded with the VG-method(49.1), while the SE-method had values of 31.1 and the SS-method 12.8. The results suggest that the VG-method is the best option. However, the V-grooving machine is still a prototype and therefore the SE-method could be an alternative option until the improved V-grooving machine is available.展开更多

To analyze the machining precision and characteristics of orifice processing methods, an ap- proach is presented based on the parameters of the internal structures of nozzle orifices, including the nozzle diameter, the orifice inner surface waviness, the eccentricity distance and the angle between orifices. Using this approach, two kinds of nozzle orifice processing methods, computerized numerical control drilling and electric discharge machining, have been studied and compared. The results show that this approach enables a simple, direct, and comprehensive contrastive analysis of nozzle orifice processing methods. When processing a single orifice, the electric discharge machining method has obvious advantages. However, when there are multiple orifices, the error levels of the two methods are similar in relation to the symmetry of distribution of the orifices.展开更多

The composite materials were processed by employing hand lay-up and compression moulding methods and fibres were treated with NaOH solution. The composite samples were subjected to tensile, flexural and impact tests. Based on the findings, compression moulding method produced better mechanical properties compared to the composites manufactured by hand lay-up method. The results showed that the tensile strength and Young’s modulus of the samples produced by compression moulding method increased by 77 percent and 47 percent respectively (at optimal fibre loading) compared to those produced by the hand lay-up method. The results also showed noticeable improvements in the impact strength of the material produced by compression moulding method, with impact strength of 11.5 kJ/m2 against the samples produced by hand lay-up method, with impact strength of 7 kJ/m2.展开更多

文摘Faba bean(Vicia faba L.)has been identified as a rich source of L-DOPA,which is used in treating Parkinson's disease.Biosynthesis and accumulation of active substances such as L-DOPA in plant tissues may interact with growing conditions and processing methods.Accumulation trends of L-DOPA in various faba bean organs and the effect of drought stress and N fertilization on L-DOPA content were studied in a field and two greenhouse experiments.The influence of various processing methods on L-DOPA content of faba bean tissues was evaluated.The highest L-DOPA content was detected in fresh leaves(22.4 mg g^(-1))followed by flowers,young pods,mature seeds,and roots.Regardless of processing method,L-DOPA concentration in faba bean tissues was significantly reduced when tissues were boiled or dried.Among various methods of processing,freezing had the lowest detrimental effect,reducing L-DOPA concentrations by 24.1%and 21.1%in leaves and seeds,respectively.Drought stress elevated L-DOPA concentration,and maximum L-DOPA(23.3 mg g^(-1)of biomass)was extracted from plants grown under severe drought stress.However,L-DOPA yield(L-DOPA concentration×biomass)was compromised,owing to the adverse influence of drought stress on dry matter production.No significant difference in L-DOPA concentration was detected among various N application rates.

文摘Three kinds of methods for processing the data of the multi-wavelength pyrometer are presented in this paper and are named curve auto-search method, curve auto-regression method and neural network method. Tbe experimental results indicate that the calculated temperature and the spectral emissivity compared with the true target temperature and spectral emissivity have significant deviation using the curve auto-search and the curve auto-regression methods. However, the calculated temperature and the spectral emissivity with higher accuracy can be obtained using the neural network method.

文摘The tropomyosin(TM)fractions of crab protems may cause allergic reactions in mdividuals susceptible to allergies;however,efficient and safe methods by which to reduce such allergenicity are not currently available.Therefore,in this study,the effects of three different processing methods,i.e.,microwave,ultrasound,and high temperature-pressure(HTP)treatments,on the digestion stability of TM from Chinese mitten crab muscle and the allergenicity of TM digestion products were explored.sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis showed that microwaving had little effect on the digestion stability of TM.In contrast,ultrasound and HTP treatments facilitated the degradation of TM.Similarly,Western blotting and inhibition ELISA indicated that the IgE-binding activity of TM was significantly reduced after treatment with ultrasound or HTP.Among the three different proces sing methods,HTP was the most effective method for improving digestibility of TM and reducing immunoreactivity.This finding provides new insights into treatments for crab allergies.

文摘Effects of the processing methods on the mechanical properties of treated bagasse fibre reinforced epoxy composite were evaluated. The composite materials were processed by employing hand lay-up and compression moulding methods and fibres were treated with NaOH solution. The composite samples were subjected to tensile, flexural and impact tests. Based on the findings, compression moulding method produced better mechanical properties compared to the composites manufactured by hand lay-up method. The results showed that the tensile strength and Young’s modulus of the samples produced by compression moulding method increased by 77 percent and 47 percent respectively (at optimal fibre loading) compared to those produced by the hand lay-up method. The results also showed noticeable improvements in the impact strength of the material produced by compression moulding method, with impact strength of 11.5 kJ/m2 against the samples produced by hand lay-up method, with impact strength of 7 kJ/m2.

文摘The study assessed the effect of different processing methods on the phyto-chemical and nutrient properties of Africa oil-bean seeds Pentaclethra macrophylla,commonly known as Ugba.It is a traditional food,consumed by over 20 million people in Nigeria.It is a rich and available source of protein for people,whose staple foods are deficient in protein.Cleaned ugba seeds were subjected to different processing methods,which included:boiling,soaking,drying,and fermentation at different degrees,of 24 h,48 h and 72 h.The samples were dried and examined on their nutrient,anti-nutrient and phyto-chemical properties.The sensory properties of the samples were determined.The result showed significant difference(p<0.05)in the nutrients,ant-nutrient and organoleptic properties of ugba samples.The protein value of ugba samples,fermented for 72 h was highest(36.13%),in relation to the raw samples(29.49%).According to Ref.[1],fermentation may significantly improve the nutritive value of foods by:increasing the digestibility of protein through hydrolysis of proteins and amino acids.The samples that were boiled,had the highest(32.09%)fat content while the 24 h fermented samples had the least value(30.09%).The crude fiber and carbohydrate values of the raw ugba samples was highest(4.11%and 22.21%respectively).The ugba sample fermented for 72 h,recorded highest for calcium(34.13 mg/100 g),potassium(258.04 mg/100 g)and phosphorous(231.91 mg/100 g)in relation to other samples.This result supports the claim by Ref.[2]that fermentation is associated with microbial activities which stimulate better nutrient availability(particularly protein)and digestibility.The anti-nutrient composition of the samples varied.The 72 h fermented ugba had the least values for tannin(0.01 mg/100 g),phytate(0.01 mg/100 g)and oxalate(0.02 mg/100 g).Furthermore,the low level of phytate observed in this study is desirable because increased phytate level in the body,affects the availability of minerals,solubility functionality and digestibility of protein;Sensory properties of ugba samples showed significant difference(p<0.05)among the samples.The 72 h fermented ugba sample,recorded highest value in:colour(7.85),aroma(6.95),taste(6.95),texture(7.0)and general acceptability(8.20),in relation to samples.The findings of this study had proved that,African oil bean(Pentaclethra macrophylla)seeds are rich sources of protein,and appreciable number of some essential minerals especially when processed adequately.Fermentation for 72 h,led to a significant increase in the nutrient availability of the product and a low anti nutritional properties was observed.Ugba seed could be explored to enrich the nutritional quality of some local dishes.
