The purpose of this investigation was to modify the procedure
of Bills, Khatri and Day for use in the development of a suitable
method for determining the quantitative distribution of the free fatty
acids (FFA) in normal, heated, and rancid milk and milk fractions
The method consists of extracting the...
Recent studies have shown that when milk fat is heated, a
homologous series containing the n-alkyl members of methyl ketones
with odd numbers of carbon in their chains are produced (48; 44; 38;
and 3). The same series of compounds also is found in evaporated
and dried whole milk and...
The free fatty acids of milk fat are believed to be involved in
imparting flavor properties to milk and other dairy products. In the
past the free fatty acids have largely been related to quality deterioration
and hence the methods for measurement have been devised to
determine the changes in...
Improving safety education could contribute to the preparation of better professional engineers. Safety topics are not holistically embedded in transportation course curricula. This thesis explores the current state in which safety is being incorporated in transportation course curricula in terms of design and compares the uses of safety data in...
The purpose of this project was to study the reactions of 1-(α-pyridyl)-3-buten-1-ol (compound I) and to determine whether or
not the products of some of its reactions are quinolizinium salts.
Reaction of compound I with bromine or iodine yields halide
salts (when no external cooling is applied) instead of the...
Steady flow fields and flow-induced wall stresses have been evaluated by experimental measurements and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis in a series of patient-specific abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) models, over a range of Reynolds numbers (Re) from 125 to 3000 (500 to 3000 for CFD). Experimental methods used particle image...
The use of the exponential-transfer-characteristics of a transistor
junction as a means of giving a logarithmic sweep calibration to a
sampling oscilloscope is presented. The prior work in logarithmic
converters leading up to the use of the transistor's transfer properties
is explored. A circuit adapting a sampling oscilloscope to a...
The motions of a small spar buoy were measured in deep water.
The measured variables were two buoy tilts, three accelerations, two
wave slopes and the wave height. The variables were corrected for
buoy motion and rotated to stationary coordinates, Fast Fourier
Transformed, and analyzed spectrally. Analysis included power
spectra,...
