(2019-08-03)
Globally, banana (Musa spp.) is considered a daily dietary staple food for millions of
individuals. This fruit is a source of phytochemicals such as carotenoids and phenolic compounds,
with health-promoting effects. There ...
Physicochemical Properties and Thermal Decomposition of Torrefied Woody Biomass and Energy Crop
(2012-04-17)
Torrefaction was performed on pine, sweetgum, and switchgrass to determine its effect on the properties and degradation profiles of the biomass, and the influence of feedstock moisture content on the enthalpy of torrefaction ...
The Physics of Wind Instruments
(2022-04-14)
Musical instruments have been studied by physicists for centuries due to their complex mechanisms and the presence of many pieces of fundamental physics within. This dis- sertation aims its focus on wind instruments which ...
Physics, Compact Modeling and TCAD of SiGe HBT for Wide Temperature Range Operation
(2011-11-29)
One of the remarkable characteristics of SiGe HBT is the ability to operate over a wide temperature range, from as low as sub 1K, to as high as over 400 K. The SiGe HBT investigated and measured in this work is a ...
Physics, Modeling and Design Implications of RF Correlated Noise in SiGe HBTs
(2013-05-01)
Accurate noise compact modeling and
efficient noise extraction techniques are required for RF circuit design.
Understanding the impact of noise sources and the noise propagation is also necessary for
device and circuit ...
A Physics-Based Framework for Estimating Real-Time Platoon Energy Savings
(2024-05-06)
Platooning is a strategy that aims to reduce aerodynamic drag and fuel consumption by driving trucks closely behind each other. However, the advantages of platooning can be compromised by braking loss, which refers to the ...
Physiological Adaptations to a Concurrent Sprint Interval and Resistance Training Program in Aging Women
(2016-12-19)
PURPOSE: To investigate the physiological adaptations to a high intensity concurrent exercise training (CET) program composed of Sprint Interval Training (SIT) and Resistance Exercise Training (RET) in recreationally active ...
Physiological and behavioral effects of photosynthetically-active radiation on rosetip sea anemones Condylactis gigantea: Tolerance limits and growth
(2018-07-24)
Irradiance is an abiotic factor that strongly affects the metabolism of endosymbiotic Symbiodinium within photosynthetic cnidarians such as rose tip sea anemones Condylactis gigantea. Fluctuations in the intensity of ...
Physiological and behavioral impacts of railway noise on stream fishes
(2019-04-17)
While the expansion of anthropogenic noise studies in aquatic habitats has produced conservation-based results for marine organisms, little attention has been paid to the potential impacts of anthropogenic noise on freshwater ...
Physiological and Molecular Responses of Feeding Ractopamine toYearling Heifers Across Days on Feed
