General synthesis method for symmetrical even-order Chebyshev bandpass filter by Zhang, Songbai, Zhu, Lei

“…In this paper, two symmetrical properties are firstly found among the elements of even-order Chebyshev lowpass ladder network. A symmetrical even-order Chebyshev lowpass network with equal terminations are then proposed based on both properties, which tackles the impedance mismatch with the inverters rather than the load conductance/resistance. …”

Effects of silicone and ascorbyl palmitate on the quality of palm olein used for frying of prawn crackers by Augustin, Mary Ann, Chua, Carlton J. J., Heng, Lee Kheng

“…Oil with 2 mg kg−1 silicone as well as oil containing 200 mg kg−1 AP plus 2 mg kg−1 silicone that had been used for frying had lower percentage polar components, higher C18:2/C16:0 ratios and lower acid values than RBD olein without additive. The results showed that silicone had a protective effect on the oil but that the rate of deterioration of the oil in the presence of AP was comparable to that of oil without additive during frying of prawn crackers. …”

'You would never pick up the thread from where you left off’: older Irish women migrants' narratives of non‐return, post‐retirement by Ryan, Louise, Doshi, Neha

“…Less is known about how return, and indeed non‐return, decision‐making evolves in later years, with calls for more research on migrants in the old‐old age groups. Moreover, there are indications that women migrants may be less inclined to return than their male counterparts. …”

Application of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to determine free fatty acid contents in palm olein by Che Man, Y.B., Setiowaty, G.

“…For accuracy, the difference between the mean FFA determined by the chemical method and the mean FFA determined by the FTIR method (MD(a)) gave FFA contents of a value of 0.00016, with the FTIR method giving a higher prediction of palm olein than the AOCS method. For reproducibility, the mean differences between duplicates (MD(r)) of the chemical and FTIR methods were close to zero (-0.0064 and -0.0046, respectively). …”
