Testing refinements by refining tests [PDF]
One of the potential benefits of formal methods is that they offer the possibility of reducing the costs of testing. A specification acts as both the benchmark against which any implementation is tested, and also as the means by which tests are generated.

Reduction and Refinement [PDF]
In this paper we explore the relation between refinement and reduction, especially as it is used in the context of cryptography. We show how refinement is a special case of reduction, and more interestingly, how reduction is an instance of a novel generalisation, ''refinement with context''.

The ultimate goal of the Three Rs is the full replacement of animals used in biomedical research and testing. However, replacement is unlikely to occur in the near future; therefore the scientific community as a whole must continue to devote considerable effort to ensure optimal animal welfare for the benefit of the science and the animals, i.e., the R

Refinement of Intentions [PDF]
According to Bratman, future-directed intentions are high-level plans. We view such plans as high-level actions that can typically not be executed directly: they have to be progressively refined until executable basic actions are obtained. Higher- and lower-level actions are linked by the means-end relation, alias instrumentality relation.

Fit-for-Use Nanofibrillated Cellulose from Recovered Paper
The cost-effective implementation of nanofibrillated cellulose (CNF) at industrial scale requires optimizing the quality of the nanofibers according to their final application. Therefore, a portfolio of CNFs with different qualities is necessary, as well

Argan kernels, fruits regurgitated by goats, are 30% cheaper than the regular kernels used to prepare food argan oil. The use of such argan kernels as a cosmetic ingredient, after refining, is thus economically attractive.

Effects of Solvent Concentration on Refining (Degumming, Dewaxing, and Deacidification) of Canola Oil Using Membrane Filtration [PDF]
Miscellas of canola were obtained by mixing its crude oil with hexane solvent at 80:20 and 70:30 ratios. Then, 16.1 M of phosphoric acid and 6.92 M of sodium hydroxide were mixed with the resulting micelles at 0.3% (w/w for degumming) and 13% (w/w for ...

Identification of Deoxynivalenol and Degradation Products during Maize Germ Oil Refining Process
Deoxynivalenol (DON) contamination in germs and germ oil is posing a serious threat to food and feed security. However, the transformation pathway, the distribution of DON, and its degradation products in edible oil refining have not yet been reported in
