Effect of Water on the Mechanical Behaviour of Extruded Flat Bread

1997

Abstract The effect of water on the mechanical properties of extruded breads was studied, at room temperature. As the moisture content was increased from 6 to 9% moisture, the resistance to fracture (compression tests) or rupture (tensile tests) was improved. Above this moisture range, plasticisation by water was the dominant phenomenon. The brittle to ductile transition was observed to occur within a moisture content range from 9 to 13·7% (w/w). The influence of water on the crispness of extruded bread, evaluated with sensory evaluation, is also described.

Global Estimation of Soil Moisture Persistence with L and C-Band Microwave Sensors

2018

© 2018 IEEE Measurements of soil moisture are needed for a better global understanding of the land surface-climate feedbacks at both the local and the global scale. Satellite sensors operating in the low frequency microwave spectrum (from 1 to 10 GHz) have proven to be suitable for soil moisture retrievals. These sensors now cover nearly 4 decades thus allowing for global multi-mission climate data records. In this paper, we assess the possibility of using L-band (SMOS) and C-band (AMSR2, ASCAT) remotely sensed soil moisture time series for the global estimation of soil moisture persistence. A multi-output Gaussian process regression model is applied to ensure spatio-temporal coverage of th…

MILES extended: Stellar population synthesis models from the optical to the infrared

2016

We present the first single-burst stellar population models which covers the optical and the infrared wavelength range between 3500 and 50000 Angstrom and which are exclusively based on empirical stellar spectra. To obtain these joint models, we combined the extended MILES models in the optical with our new infrared models that are based on the IRTF (Infrared Telescope Facility) library. The latter are available only for a limited range in terms of both age and metallicity. Our combined single-burst stellar population models were calculated for ages larger than 1 Gyr, for metallicities between [Fe/H] = -0.40 and 0.26, for initial mass functions of various types and slopes, and on the basis …

A teacher's reflections on learning and teaching in an English-medium CLIL teaching experiment

2013

Tämän proseminaaritutkielman tarkoituksena oli tarkastella opiskelijoiden ja opettajan omaa suullista englanninkielen käyttöä englanniksi toteutetussa vieraskielisessä sisällönopetuksessa eli CLIL-opetuksessa työtään kehittävän ja ammatillista oppimista tavoittelevan tutkivan CLIL-opettajan näkökulmasta. CLIL-opetuskokeilu tapahtui Jyväskylän ammattikorkeakoulun musiikin koulutusohjelmassa lukuvuonna 2011–2012, ja oppisisältönä oli vapaan säestyksen opintojakso. Opetuskokeilun tavoitteena oli tukea osaltaan ammattikorkeakouluopiskelijoiden ammatillisen kielitaidon kehittymistä, erityisesti kykyä ymmärtää ja käyttää suullisessa kommunikaatiossa oman alan musiikillista sanastoa. Tutkimuksen t…

Vēstures un angļu valodas integrēta apguve 9.klasē

2019

Globalizācija ir daļa no mūsu dzīves mūsdienas un tās nozīme tikai palielinās. Satura un valodas integrēta apguve ir plaši atzīta ne tikai Eiropā, bet arī visa pasaulē jau no 1990-tajiem gadiem. Satura un valodas integrēta apguve ir ļoti populāra, jo skolēniem arvien vairāk nepieciešama angļu valoda, lai turpinātu savas studijas. Viņiem niepieciešamas angļu valodas zināšanas akadēmiskā akademiskā līmeni, lai sekmīgi turpinātu studijas un saprast dažādus jēdzienus, ko lieto viņu izvēlētajā priekšmetā. Jēdzienus neapgūst angļu valodas stundās. Satura un valodas integrēta apguve nozīmē aktīvu starppriekšmetu saikni. Skolēni mācās angļu valodu ne tikai angļu valodas stundās, bet viņi izmanto an…

Matemātikas un angļu valodas integrētās mācības 11.klasē

2017

Pasaules kontekstā vārds „integrācija” jau ir zināms gadu desmitiem. Daudzas lietas un procesi ir integrēti, lai sasniegtu labākus rezultātus un izsekotu laika (gadsimta) un kultūras prasībām. Lielākā daļa cilvēku neievēro divas vai vairākas atsevišķas daļas no integrētā procesa, viņi to uzskata par vienotu veselumu. Lai noskaidrotu, kā jāorganizē matemātikas satura un angļu valodas integrētās apguves process 11.klases skolēniem, sporta ģimnāzijā tika veikts gadījuma pētījums. Ar mērķi noskaidrot, kā matemātikas un angļu valodas integrētās mācīšanas un mācīšanās procesu var īstenot un praktizēt darbā ar 11.klases skolēniem sporta ģimnāzijā, tika izveidotas dažādas aktivitātes un materiāli u…

A statistical subgrid-scale algorithm for precipitation formation in stratiform clouds in the ECHAM5 single column model

2011

Abstract. Cloud properties are usually assumed to be homogeneous within the cloudy part of the grid-box, i.e. subgrid-scale inhomogeneities in cloud cover and/or microphysical properties are often neglected. However, precipitation formation is initiated by large particles. Thus mean values are not representative and could lead to a delayed onset of precipitation. For a more physical description of the subgrid-scale structure of clouds we introduce a new statistical sub-column algorithm to study the impact of cloud inhomogeneities on stratiform precipitation. Each model column is divided into N independent sub-columns with sub-boxes in each layer, which are completely clear or cloudy. The cl…

Optimizing the use of spineless cactus in the finishing diet of lambs: physicochemical properties and sensory characteristics of meat.

2019

BACKGROUND The use of spineless cactus in finishing diets for lambs improves the carcass quality. However, data about its influence on meat traits is very scarce. The effects of spineless cactus inclusion in the finishing diet of lambs at four levels (0, 150, 300 and 450 g kg-1 of dry matter, DM) in replacement of Tifton hay on the physicochemical and sensory properties of meat were studied. RESULTS The spineless cactus modified the chemical composition increasing the protein (P < 0.001) and the fat (P < 0.01) contents of meat, presenting the greatest values in lambs fed diets with 150 and 300 g kg-1 (DM) replacing levels, respectively. However, the spineless cactus did not influence the gr…

Environmental cadmium, lead and nickel contamination: possible relationship between soil and vegetable content

1991

The cadmium, lead and nickel content of soils of four agricultural areas exposed to different degrees of environmental pollution and vegetables grown there were measured by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). In order to ascertain the possible relationship between the heavy metal content of soils (total and extractable) and of vegetables grown in them, the correlation between the two was calculated. The highest correlation values between metal content of soil and vegetables are these corresponding to nickel: the total metal content in soils and leaves-stems are linear (p<0.01). The extractable metal content of soils and leaves-stems are linear (p<0.1). Therefore, soil seems to be the…
