The implications of froth structure and surface appearance for flotation performance
… the degree of particle coverage on the bubble surface and the particle hydrophobicity. The mechanism through which the solids affect the froth stability has been demonstrated through experimental observations of flotation metullurgical performance, measurement of the froth surface appearance …

Ultrasonic cutting of cheese and apples -- effect on quality attributes during storage
… the effect of ultrasound amplitude on the surface appearance and quality of selected cheese (Cheddar, mozzarella, and Swiss cheese) and fresh cut apples (red delicious and golden delicious) during storage. To examine the effect of ultrasonic cutting on quality of cheese products, cheddar, …

Effects of Distractor Problems and Hints on Transfer and Classification by Young Children (Learning, Preschool, Interference)
… examined. The problem analogs differed in their surface appearance, but shared common relations for goal and solution. The target problems were drawn from a domain which required the combination of separately learned pieces of information in a new way to reach a goal. When the difficult transfer …

Detecting open surfaces in three dimensions
… method for representing and detecting open surfaces embedded in three-dimensional image volumes. Open surfaces are two-dimensional manifolds with a one-dimensional boundary lying within a three-dimensional volume. Distinct portions of a closed surface can be modeled as open surfaces, as can …

Beneath the penumbral glow: John Banville and the cinema
… inherent in the relationship between appearances and reality, raising questions about how words and images, accurately or otherwise, represent the world. The thesis here is that the cinema has become a significant feature and powerful symbolic image of these preoccupations in the later …

Evaluation of the stress ralaxation technique for measuring softening kinetics in aluminium alloys
… sheet is used for lithographic applications, the surface appearance after electro-etching should be devoid of any streaking or inhomogeneous discolouration. The cause of possible streaking effects can be related to poor microstructure development during TMP and often arises as a result of …

An Investigation of Quantifying and Monitoring Stone Surface Deterioration Using Three Dimensional Laser Scanning
… on its use for quantifying and monitoring stone surface deterioration, and determines the success of resulting 3D models for communicating conditions information. Additionally, the ambiguity in existing literature regarding success of applications of 3D laser scanning for meeting project …

Stereological techniques for synthesizing solid textures from images of aggregate materials
… are commonly used to depict complex variation in surface appearance. For materials that have spatial variation in three dimensions, such as wood or marble, solid textures offer a natural representation. Unlike 2D textures, which can be easily captured with a photograph, it can be difficult to …

The effect of heat compression on mechanical behaviour and moisture content of pineapple leaf fibre and sugarcane bagasse waste for plate disposal
… with variable adjustment temperature on the surface of the mold according parameters required are 50°C, 100°C and 150°C. The effect of heat compression on physical and mechanical behavior of the pineapple leave and sugarcane bagasse waste plate disposal was evaluated. From observation and …

Modification of Ternary Nitrate Mixture's Thermal Properties
… the nitrate mixtures as to their composition and surface appearance. From the DSC data it appears as though the rate of heat flow decreases with the addition of MWCNTs and Aluminum dopant. The average specific heat capacity also was reduced by the addition of MWCNTs according to the average data …

Settlement of marine fouling organisms in response to novel antifouling coatings
Surfaces submerged in marine environments rapidly get colonized by marine organisms, a process known as biofouling. Fouling costs maritime industries billions of dollars annually. The most common methods of combating marine biofouling are toxin containing antifouling coatings which often have …

The fracture of epoxy resins and the effects of rubber inclusions
… type of crack growth and the resultant fracture surfaces have been studied over a wide range of temperatures, displacement rates and specimen thicknesses. Both systems exhibit essentially the same types of crack growth behaviour. However, the values of fracture toughness for the rubber-modified …
