Effect of low temperature blanching, cysteine-HCI, N-acetyl-L-cysteine, Na metabisulphite and drying temperatures on the firmness and nutrient content of dried carrots by Mohamed, Suhaila, Hussein, Rosli

“…Low temperature long time (LTLT) blanching (70C for 20 min) together with calcium treatment can be used to significantly improve the texture of rehydrated dried carrots when compared to high temperature short time (HTST) blanching (100C for 3 min). …”

Public bus transit service modeling and optimization: from conventional to autonomous vehicles by Tian, Qingyun

“…In the first part, this thesis proposes a novel tri-level model for a transit service operation design problem that primarily determines the optimal bus line frequency setting. Unlike the existing studies, the strategy choices of passengers in presence of congested common lines are explicitly considered. …”

Anti-leukaemic and chemotherapy supportive effects of berberis vulgaris l. Fruit crude extract on in vitro and in vivo models by Saedi, Tayebeh Azam

“…For the in vitro method, cytotoxic effects of BVFCE were evaluated using MTT assay to determine the IC50 values and compare with non-leukaemic cell line (The 3T3 cell). Observation of the morphological changes in the treated leukaemic cell lines with BVFCE and Doxorubicin (Doxo) was examined using inverted microscope. …”

Resolving structural ambiguity using animacy and grammatical cues in Chinese. by Ong, Deborah Yoke Ting.

“…The role of animacy has also been found to be relevant in Chinese, with studies on the Competition Model supporting it as an important cue in agent identification (Bates et al., 1992). With two off-line questionnaire studies, this study looks at how the semantic animacy role and grammatical role (low attachment preference) affect ambiguity resolution in Chinese for both comprehension and production. …”
