Density Variation of Different Shaped Food Particulates in Fluid Bed Drying: Empirical Models

Wijitha Senadeera · Journal of Agricultural and Marine Sciences · 2009 · 10.24200/jams.vol14iss0pp27-34

… es (aspect ratio = 1:1, 2:1, 3:1), cut beans (length:diameter = 1:1, 2:1, 3:1) and peas respectively. The density variation of food particulates was studied in a batch fluidised bed dryer connected to a heat pump dehumidifier system. Apparent density and bulk density were evaluated with non-dimensional moisture at thre …

Habitat Preferences of Juvenile Abalone (Haliotis mariae Wood, 1828) Along the Dhofar Coast of Oman and Implications for Conservation

Schalk de Waal, Mohammed A. Balkhair, Ali Al-Mashikhi et al. · Journal of Agricultural and Marine Sciences · 2012 · 10.24200/jams.vol17iss0pp45-52

Surveys were conducted along the eastern Dhofar coast of Oman to investigate densities and habitat preferences of juvenile Haliotis mariae (< 3 cm SL). Average density was 0.62 m-2 (SD 0.56); average urchin density was 3.4 urchins m-2 (SD 3.9). Relationships between juvenile abalone densities and small boulders (

Impact of Selected Adsorbent Functional Groups on Chromium Sorption Capacities In An Effluent Treatment: A DFT Study

Toyese Oyegoke, Aliyu Adnan · The Journal of Engineering Research · 2025 · 10.53540/tjer.vol21iss1pp59-70

… acid bind to Cr (III) metal. We look at stable Cr metal cluster configurations using Spartan software and density functional theory (DFT) for quantum chemical calculations. We measure energies and thermodynamic properties during interactions. Our findings demonstrate that sorbents with carbonyl and carboxylate groups e …

Effect of Sediment Density on the Bed Topography in a Channel Bend Using Numerical Modeling

Mohammad Vaghefi, Yaser Safarpoor, Seyed Shaker Hashemi · The Journal of Engineering Research · 2016 · 10.24200/tjer.vol13iss1pp22-32

… alyses were performed with the Sediment Simulation in Intakes with Multiblock Option (SSIIM) model. Three relative curvatures (R/B = 2, 3, and 4) related to the three sediment densities (P = 2.35, 2.5, and 2.65) were modeled in nine cases and the effects of sediment density on the bed scour patterns were studied. It wa …

Statin-Associated Muscle Adverse Events: Update for clinicians

Maha A. Al-Mohaissen, Martha J. Ignaszewski, Jiri Ignaszewski et al. · Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal · 2025 · 10.18295/squmj.2016.16.04.002

Statins are potent medications which reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels. Their efficacy in cardiovascular risk reduction is well established and indications for their use are expanding. While statins are generally well tolerated and safe, adverse events are relatively common, particularly statina …
