Edible coatings controlling preservative migration from
surface to food bulk could inhibit surface microbial growth
which is often the main cause of spoilage for many food
products. In this project we focused our attention upon
methylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and chitosan as
the structural component for such edible films. These films...
Six male college long jumpers volunteered as subjects
to determine the kinematic differences between depth jumps
from 0.75 m and 1.10 m, and long jump take-off. The variables
examined were approach and take-off vertical, horizontal
and resultant velocities with contact time and
angles of take-off.
Subjects undertook six depth jump...
The back thrust kick is a karate technique used primarily in a
defensive setting. This research described the kinematic
variables involved in the skilled execution of the kick. Variables
examined included movement sequencing, angular position of
the trunk, thigh and leg, angular velocity of the thigh and leg,
linear velocity...
Previous studies have indicated that the largest loss associated with green veneer production occurs at the green veneer clipper. It has been reported that up to 26 percent of the block volume is lost during clipping. However, because of today's processing sophistication, this value is no longer considered current nor...
The primary goal of the study was to determine if and
how baseball players discriminate the rotational direction
of an approaching pitch during the first 200 milliseconds
of the flight of the ball. In addition, college-level
baseball coaches were surveyed to assess the level of
agreement between coaches relative to...
This study is primarily concerned with the measurement of the local radiative component of total heat transfer around a horizontal tube immersed in a large particle fluidized bed at elevated temperatures.Total heat transfer was also measured in order to assess the relative radiation contribution.The radiation measurement probe employs a silicon...
The study investigates the influence of the self-reference
effect upon the amount of main and subordinate ideas which older
adults can recall and recognize after viewing the television
documentary entitled, The Xinquana: Aborigines of South America.
The participants are native English-speaking Americans who are
50 years old or older. The...
The purpose of this investigation was to compare the results of
two methods of gathering data on the stress of wheelchair propelling
at equivalent work loads and to account for differences in physiological
responses with a mechanical analysis of wheelchair propelling.
Physiological data collected were heart rate, systolic blood pressure,...

The development of a novel high temperature space radiator is
described. A Rotating Bubble Membrane Radiator (RBMR) combines the
best features of heat pipes and droplet radiators while avoiding
their negative attributes. The RBMR offers light weight, self
deployment, ease of startup and its performance is less affected by
acceleration....
