Kiwifruit softening: A cell wall study
… structural integrity to fruit tissues during softening. While there are reports on changes relating to fruit softening in kiwifruit cell walls, this study was the first to examine two closely related genotypes of Actinidia chinensis with different softening rates, MPM (a fast softener) and ACS …

Packing of particles during softening and melting process.
Softening deformation of iron ore in the form of sinter, pellet, and lump ore in the cohesive zone of an ironmaking blast furnace is an important phenomenon that has a significant effect on gas permeability and consequently blast furnace production efficiency. The macroscopic softening deformation …

Development Of A Spreadsheet For Bar Graph Softening
<p>Lime softening has been commonly used for decades for hardness removal in water treatment. Many methods are used for controlling lime feed to a water treatment system. Concentrations in influent to or effluent from a water softener are most often determined manually by physical measurements, …

The softening and melting of blast furnace burden materials.
… on an experimental scale. The mechanism of softening and melting of burden materials has been evaluated and it was found that two opposing reactions are important, namely the liquid slag formation reaction and the gaseous reduction reaction. At high temperatures the permeability of burden …

Removing Soluble Organic Contaminants From Water Supplies by Lime Softening
… has raised considerable public concern. Lime softening, a commonly used water treatment process, is capable of removing certain soluble organic contaminants; but the types of contaminants that can be taken out and the factors influencing such removal are not well defined. This research was …

The strengthening and "softening" of low-carbon structural steels by silicon
… at sub-zero test temperatures, otherwise called "softening", of these steels with reduced grain sizes, brought about by the silicon additions was also investigated. Optical and transmission electron microscopes were used to characterize the ferrite-pearlite structures, decarburized layers, random …

ORCHESTRATING FRIENDSHIP WITHIN A FIRM: SOFTENING THE EDGES OF ALGORITHMIC EVALUATION
How are employers using big data and algorithms to measure employee performance, and with what consequences for employees? Current literature suggests that organizations are increasingly engaging in algorithmic evaluation by using finely-grained, real-time, interactive, and visible data to measure …

Making Water Pure: A History of Water Softening From Potash to Tide
Making Water Pure: A History of Water Softening from Potash to Tide, is a history of water softening in the United States from 1860 through 1970. Water’s materiality, specifically its tendency to dissolve geological features, consistently interfered with labor processes, especially those that …

The role of volatile species in the softening of blast furnace burden.
… exists concerning the mechanism involved in the softening of the burden within the iron blast furnace and in particular the role played by volatile species in this process. This laboratory investigation was undertaken in order to develop a better understanding of the fundamental processes …

Evidence That Endogenous Relaxin Promotes Vaginal Growth and Softening in Pregnant Rats
… half of pregnancy. Relaxin promotes growth and softening of the cervix to enable rapid and safe delivery. When this studies were initiated there was no evidence that endogenous relaxin has effects on the vagina, which is linked anatomically to the cervix. There were four objectives. The first …

Engineering, characterization, identification and reduced order modeling of systems with softening nonlinearities
… modeling and characterization of a new type of softening-hardening nonlinear springs. This can be successfully employed as vibration mitigation devices owning to a rather unique tunability feature. For instance, being capable of softening or hardening behavior, i.e., possessing decreasing or …

Disrupting dynamic f-actin enhances skeletal muscle contraction due to mechanical softening
… due to f-actin disruption is due to mechanical softening of the cells which pose to a lower resistance to their own contraction. As a potential application, we show that a weak 3D printed muscle powered biological robot starts walking with f-actin disruption. This target has significant …

A study of the stretch-induced softening behavior of particle filled elastomers/
… conditions, elastomers undergo stress-induced softening, known as the Mullins effect, and this softening behavior is influenced by the amount of filler particle present. The softening is considered to be an evolution of the soft and hard domain microstructure of the material, with the effective …

Reduction and softening/melting behaviour of olivine pellet in the experimental blast furnace
… study has been carried out on the reduction, softening and melting behavior of olivine based pellets in the experimental blast furnace. The aim of the project was to develop a fundamental understanding of the reduction mechanisms of olivine based pellets and to develop a correlation between …

The Effects of Strain Induced Softening on the Load Carrying Capability of Components
Recently interest has grown in using quenched and tempered 2.25 Cr 1 Mo steel in pressure vessels and piping systems. This material has a bainitic microstructure with improved short term strength characteristics over the more commonly used annealed form. The bainitic material cyclically softens, …
