examination administered to a random sampling of children and...
New technology allows the production of thinner kiln sticks
manufactured of phenolic resin impregnated paper which are both
structurally and economically realistic. This project tested the effects
of kiln stick thicknesses on dry kiln air circulation and on
lumber drying degrade.
Three variables, stick thickness (3/4, 9/16, 7/16 and 1/4...
Results of recent studies on Piagetian cognitive development,
though equivocal, showed that the architectonic of formal operational
schemata is not possessed by a sizeable percentage (up to 52%) of adolescents
and young adults. The purpose of the present study is two

Parasitological and selected microbiological safety aspects
of Nham (Thai-style fermented pork sausage) were evaluated. Pork
meat from pigs experimentally infected with Trichinella spiralis
was divided into 4 portions; 3 portions were frozen at -23°C for
12, 18 and 24 hours before they were made into Nham. The formula
for fermented...
The objectives were to investigate the ability of a two-factor
central composite rotatable design (CCRD), using cooking temperature
(CT) and endpoint temperature (ET) as independent variables, to
predict selected chemical, physical and sensory meat quality
characteristics considered important by the industry, researcher and
consumer alike. Response surface analysis (RSA) was...
