DIRECT MEASUREMENT OF SWEETPOTATO SURFACE AREA AND VOLUME USING A LOW-COST 3D SCANNER FOR IDENTIFICATION OF SHAPE FEATURES RELATED TO PROCESSING PRODUCT RECOVERY

The growing Smoking Accessories demand for sweetpotato French fry and other processed products has increased the need for producing storage roots of desired shape profile (i.e., blocky and less tapered).Length-width ratio (LW) is the current de facto standard for characterizing sweetpotato shape.Although LW is sensitive and descriptive of some type

The article provides data on modern lamb production systems and factors affecting their quality.In order to obtain high-quality lamb, a mineral-phytobiotic additive was developed, which includes sulfate and sodium metasilicate as sources of sulfur and silicon, and a phytobiotic additive containing chili pepper, which has a fungicidal effect and exh

A technique for enhancing the bandwidth of VOLUMISER a broadside tri-modal patch antenna is described.The key idea of the technique is to incorporate a dual-resonance structure into the broadside tri-modal patch geometry.By increasing one edge of the tri-modal patch while decreasing its size at the opposite edge, the resulting structure can be view

The inhibition effect of halide ions such as iodide, bromide and chloride ions on the corrosion of iron in 0.5 mol L-1 H2SO4 and the adsorption behaviour of these ions on the electrode surface have been studied by Barrettes polarization and impedance methods.It has been found that the inhibition of nearly 90% has been observed for iodide ions at 2.

This paper develops a novel switching variable proportional desaturation proportional integral (SVPDPI) regulator for speed control of switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive system.Firstly, the idea of desaturation is adopted in the SRM drive system in order to eliminate the integral saturation phenomenon of traditional proportional integral (PI) re
