Adhesive Bonding of Low Moisture Hickory Veneer with Soy-based Adhesive
Low moisture veneer and regions of sapwood within hickory engineered wood flooring bonded with soy-flour adhesive are thought to be factors leading to potential performance deficiencies. The goal of this research was to gain a broader understanding of bonding low moisture hickory veneer with …

Investigation of the phase transitions of pregelatinized waxy maize starch at low moisture contents
… has been identified in many cereal-based, low moisture food systems, including several commercial varieties of crackers. Given the similarity of this endotherm to the retrogradation endotherm of amylopectin under higher moisture conditions, the presence of this endotherm may indicate …

Melt and Rheological Characteristics of Low Moisture Part Skim Mozzarella Cheese as Affected by the Starter Culture and Coagulating Enzymes
… the coagulating enzymes. MC cheeses had higher moisture and protein contents and lower fat content. Cheeses made with rennet showed a greater hydrolysis of α<sub>S</sub>- casein, whereas, cheeses made with sure curd showed a greater hydrolysis of β-casein. The extent of hydrolysis was found to …

Investigation of Binding of Volatile Flavor Compounds by Soy Proteins in Low -Moisture Food Systems by Inverse Gas Chromatography (Igc)
… impaired by adsorbed water in the extremely low humidity region (approaching 0% RH); while their binding strengths with SPI were not significantly affected by further water uptake in the 30∼50% RH region. Stronger interactions with the crackers at 15% RH were observed for …

Effect of Antimicrobials and Sodium Replacement Agents on the Survival of Pathogenic Bacteria in Low Sodium Low-Moisture Part-Skim (LMPS) Mozzarella Cheese
… cheese (1.7% NaCl, no antimicrobial added); low sodium control cheese (0.7% NaCl, no antimicrobial added); low sodium treated cheese (0.7% NaCl, treatment with SEA-i F75); low sodium cheese with KCl as salt replacer (0.7% NaCl, 1.0% KCl, treatment with SEA-i F75); low sodium cheese with Alta …

The influence of low moisture stress on the gas exchange and thylakoid activity of loblolly pine (pinus taeda) and aleppo pine (pinus halepensis)
… only when their needle water potential fell below -1.8 and -2.2 MPa respectively (water stress conditioning) or were kept well watered (controls). After 10 weeks of water stress conditioning, both regimes were allowed to dry down. During this period of increasing water stress, photosynthesis in …

Effectiveness of an Aspergillus Oryzae Culture on the Preservation Efficiency and Feeding Value of Alfalfa-Brome Haylage Stored in Gas-Tight and Concrete Stave Silos
… silage has not been entirely satisfactory due to low quality and rather high preservation losses. If these crops can be preserved as low-moisture silage and stored irrespective of the weather. The common haymaking losses will be greatly reduced because the crop is exposed to less weathering during …

Investigating the Mechanics and Chemistry of Sickle Polish Development
… novaculite blades were used to harvest high and low moisture content rye and common fescue and associated field weeds. The differences in the development of sickle gloss were examined. High moisture content plants create thick, smooth fields of polish with undulating, billowing margins at a …

Vacuum Steam Technology for Rapid Plasticization and Bending of Maple
… back to antiquity in the form of baskets from willow branches and when boats were no longer made of hollowed out logs. Fresh growth willow twigs are readily bent into practically any shape; however, when wood has been separated from the tree and dried it is more rigid, difficult to bend, and …

INVESTIGATING RHEOLOGICAL TECHNIQUES TO MODEL AND PREDICT OPERATING CONDITIONS OF A SINGLE SCREW EXTRUDER WITH INTERNAL RESTRICTIONS
… oil content (20%) at high temperature (80C) and low moisture content (15% wet basis). The lack shear degradation in the capillary rheometer also resulted in over-prediction of corn flour viscosities at high temperatures (80 to 120C), shear rates (1 to 100 s-1) and low moisture contents (35 to …

An experimental and analytical investigation of liquid moisture distribution in roof insulating systems
… thermal conductivity measurements to detect moisture concentrations in a highly porous glass fiber insulation. A new technique employing thermistor probes was used to measure thermal conductivity over a range of low moisture contents. The results indicate that the material's thermal …

Investigation of Equestrian Arena Surface Properties and Rider Preferences
… of surface. The study investigated the effect of moisture, compaction and drainage on different equine arena sand and fibre surfaces and also the preferences of riders regarding surface properties. A Biomechanical Hoof Tester (maximum load, load rate, range of horizontal acceleration, vertical …

Effect of Ethanol Vapor Fumigation on Survival of Salmonella enterica biofilms on Whole Black Peppercorns
… enterica serovars within a biofilm contained on low moisture food products (Aw 0.30-0.40) was observed in this study. Samples were exposed to zero, one, five and ten minute ethanol vapor treatments at atmospheric boiling temperature (Atmospheric Pressure Boiling Method, AB), and at reduced …

The effects of soil moisture, mulch, slope-facing, and surface temperature on grass seedlings
Soil moisture tension had a greater effect on both soil surface temperatures and growth of young Kentucky 31 tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) seedlings under solar radiation than either wood-cellulose mulch or slope-facing. More growth and lower temperatures occurred at low than high moisture …

The Effect of Sorbic Acid on the Survival oOf Escherichia coli 0157:H7, Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus on Shredded Cheddar and Mozzarella Cheese
… in either cheese. There were significantly lower Salmonella counts for days 14 to 42 on mozzarella cheese. No significant differences in survival were found for cheddar cheese. There were significantly lower counts noted in L. monocytogenes, and S. aureus in mozzarella. Though no significant …
