Determination of hexane residues in vegetable oils in FTIR spectroscopy by Mirghani, Mohamed Elwathig Saeed, Che Man, Yakoob

“…The SD of the difference for repeatability for the method was comparable to that for the standard AOCS method when used for palm and groundnut oils. With its speed and ease of data manipulation by computer software, FTIR spectroscopy has an advantage over present chemical methods, which require preparation of the oil using toxic solvents before GC. …”

Improvement of practical control method for positioning systems in the presence of actuator saturation by incorporating fuzzy anti-reset windup by Wahyudi, Martono, Ibrahim, Tarig. F., Albagul, Abdulgani, kuswadi, S., Salami, Momoh Jimoh Emiyoka

“…However, the effect of actuator saturation can not be completely compensated due to integrator windup when the object parameters vary. This paper presents a method to improve the NCTF controller for overcoming the problem of integrator windup by adopting a fuzzy anti-windup. …”

The strength of SiO2 added MgO ceramics to withstand flashover-treeing appearance under electron bombardment in vacuum by Sutjipto, Agus Geter Edy

“…It was found that increasing SiO2 additions increased the TTF and got its maximum value for 6 wt% additions. From this study when 6 wt% SiO2 added MgO was used, the insulation property of MgO was significantly increased 5.5 times of withstanding the appearance of first flashover. …”

Beyond behaviour: changing foods as well as changing people by Winkler, Jack

“…Not least of its advantages in these straitened times is that most of the cost of reformulation is paid by the food industry, not the public purse. When the government is so practical, public health specialists must recognise that nutritional improvement is possible without behavioural change.…”

Learning Objects To Enhance Students’ Conceptual Understanding Of Probability by Gossett, Roger, Haynes, Richard

“…In this way users obtain practice of manipulation and interconversion of the kind required when dealing with probability. The final LO, ‘probability’, provides an opportunity to use the knowledge gained from the preceding four LOs to investigate, calculate and express probability in a variety of forms.…”
