Correlating fissure occurrence to rice quality for various drying and tempering treatments [PDF]

, 2001
When a rice kernel fissures, it can break in subsequent food processing operations and lose its commercial value. Head rice yield (HRY) is a measure of the percent of kernels that remain whole (at least three-fourths of original length) after rice has ...

DRYING STRATEGIES CAPABLE OF REDUCING THE STRESS LEVEL OF A STACK OF BOARDS AS DEFINED BY A COMPREHENSIVE DUAL SCALE MODEL

Maderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2008
During drying, stresses and deformations develop in a wood board due to shrinkage fields which result from moisture content and temperature field variations.

Simulation and Experimental Studies of Heat-Mass Transfer and Stress–Strain in Carrots During Hot Air Drying

Agriculture
Models were developed to study the heat-mass transfer and stress–strain process in carrots during hot air drying. The distribution and variation in temperature, moisture content, strain, and stress of the samples were investigated at different drying ...

Interpreting Measurements of Small Strain Elastic Shear Modulus under Unsaturated Conditions [PDF]

, 2016
Bender element testing of unsaturated isotropically compacted speswhite kaolin samples was used to investigate the variation of small strain elastic shear modulus G under unsaturated conditions. Testing was performed in a suction-controlled triaxial cell

Mechanosensitive Self-Replication Driven by Self-Organization [PDF]

, 2010
Self-replicating molecules are likely to have played an important role in the origin of life, and a small number of fully synthetic self-replicators have already been described.

Numerical analysis of desiccation, shrinkage and cracking in low plasticity clayey soils [PDF]

, 2017
This paper presents a numerical study of the desiccation processes of low-plasticity clayey soils that usually result in shrinkage and often in cracking.

From liquid to solid bonding in cohesive granular media

, 2010
We study the transition of a granular packing from liquid to solid bonding in the course of drying. The particles are initially wetted by a liquid brine and the cohesion of the packing is ensured by capillary forces, but the crystallization of the solute

Contiguous US summer maximum temperature and heat stress trends in CRU and NOAA Climate Division data plus comparisons to reanalyses. [PDF]

, 2018
Warming is a major climate change concern, but the impact of high maximum temperatures depends upon the air's moisture content. Trends in maximum summertime temperature, moisture, and heat index are tracked over three time periods: 1900-2011, 1950-2011 ...

Stress characteristics and stress reversal mechanism of white birch (Betula platyphylla) disks under different drying conditions

Maderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2016
Drying stress is the main cause for the generation of drying cracks in wood disks during drying, which limits the processing and utilization of this valuable material.
