Bioavailability of carbohydrate material stored in tropical fruit seeds

Food Chemistry, 1996
Properties of starches derived from seeds obtained from tropical fruits used by the pulping industries were characterised and their response to enzyme attack ascertained. Despite similarity of the tissue from which starch was obtained, seeds starches varied depending upon the botanical source in all of the structural and physicochemical properties ...

Influence of tropical climate on properties of polyurethane materials

Adhesives Sealants Technologias
The influence of tropical climate on the changes in properties of polyurethane materials based on simple polyethers, differing in the nature of polyol, diisocyanate component, chain extender or curing agent has been investigated. The results of exposure to natural climatic conditions in the tropics of Southern Vietnam showed that after 6 months of ...

Serviceability of Construction Materials Under Tropical Climate Effects

2016
The key aspect discussed in this study is the serviceability of the construction materials namely concrete and steel under the tropical climate effects. The environmental effects such as the temperatures, chemicals from the rain, and particles brought by the wind can cause corrosion on the concrete surface and thus may affect a structure’s performance.

Polyethylene film as concrete curing material in a tropical climate

Cement and Concrete Research, 1974
Abstract Concrete specimens were cast at and exposed to three different climatic regions in Ethiopia. The specimens were cured for different length of time, either covered with transparent polyethylene film, or by intermittent watering. At the end of the curing periods the specimens were stored at 20°C and 65% relative humidity until tested for ...

Performance of OTEC Heat Exchanger Materials in Tropical Seawaters

JOM, 1985
The corrosion of several aluminum alloys in flowing Hawaiian surface seawater and water from 600 m depth for exposure periods up to three years has been studied. The alloys tested in cold water were Alclad (7072) 3003 and 3004; and bare 3004 and 5052). All show some pitting. Pit growth is slow, and pits do not penetrate the cladding. In the warm water,
