Moisture and temperature dependence of the dielectric properties of pharmaceutical powders
(2013 , Article)
The dielectric properties of pharmaceutical powder–(paracetamol, aspirin, lactose, maize starch, adipic acid) solvent (water) mixtures were measured at 2,450 MHz at a range of moisture contents (0–1.0 kg kg−1, dry basis) ...
Microstructure, thermal and mechanical response of AZ51/Al2O3 nanocomposite with 2 wt.% Ca addition
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2013 , Article)
In the present study, new AZ51/Al2O3–2Ca magnesium nanocomposite was successfully synthesized by simultaneously adding 2wt.% aluminum, 2wt.% Ca and 1.5vol.% nanosized Al2O3 (50nm) into AZ31 matrix using a disintegrated ...
An improved palmprint recognition system using iris features
(
Springer
, 2013 , Article)
This paper presents a bimodal biometric recognition system based on the extracted features of the human palmprint and iris using a new graph-based approach termed Fisher locality preserving projections (FLPP). This new ...
Design of thin wall structures for energy absorption applications: Enhancement of crashworthiness due to axial and oblique impact forces
(2013 , Article)
This paper describes a computationally aided design process of a thin wall structure subject to dynamic compression in both axial and oblique directions. Several different cross sectional shapes of thin walled structures ...
Enzymatic treatment of peanut butter to reduce the concentration of major peanut allergens
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2013 , Article)
This study investigated the effects of enzymatic treatment of peanut butter on two-major peanut allergens (Ara h 1 and Ara h 2). Home-made and commercial peanut butter samples were treated with alpha-chymotrypsin, trypsin ...
