DEVELOPMENT AND SENSORY EVALUATION OF VERMICELLI WITH COMPARATIVE FORTIFICATION OF ROASTED AND GERMINATED FLAXSEED FLOUR

Abstract

The value of whole wheat flour, roasted flaxseed flour, and germinated flaxseed flour in the formulated vermicelli was used in samples V0: Control- (100g:0g:0g), WF: RF: RFF, V1: WF: RFF (100g:0.5g), V2: WF: RFF (100g:10g), V3: WF: GFF (100g:0.5g) and V4: WF: GFF (100g:10) respectively. The products were subjected to standard sensory analysis and accordingly, variant V3 was found to be the most preferred concerning Appearance and color, flavor and aroma, taste, texture, and overall acceptability.
KEYWORDS : Wheat flour, roasted flaxseed flour, germinated flaxseed flour, and vermicelli.

DETERMINATION OF FLESTURAL STENGHT OF CONCRETE BEAM AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE

Abstract

In coastal environment reinforcement corrosion is an obvious cause of deterioration of concrete structures which affects the durability and service of reinforced concrete beams. Flexural strength is a measure of resistance against failure in bending and durability is the property of material against weathering action. The main aim of our study is to investigate and compare the flexural strength and theoretically estimated steel loss of corroded and un corroded reinforced concrete beams replaced with 0%, 10%, 20%, 30% fly ash with cement respectively. Accelerated corrosion technique using 5%Nacl and impressed current were adopted to corrode the beam experimentally. The important factors that influence the test results are grade of the concrete and percentage replacement of fly ash. At 10% replacement of fly ash there is a much reduction in the steel loss and as the replacement increases there is a little reduction in steel loss and considerable change in flexural strength.

INVESTIGATION OF TURBULENT FLUID FLOW BEHAVIOR IN A CIRCULAR DUCT WITH MULTIPLE SIDE IMPOSITIONS: A COMPUTATIONAL ANALYSIS

Abstract

In a circular axis symmetric conduit, we numerically explore the mixing of a turbulent fluid injected at 45 and 90 degrees to the main turbulent bulk flow. By adjusting the parameters of the original k-model, we were able to account for the influence of streamline curvature. The effects of varying the swirl number at the duct\'s input on the resulting turbulent flow pattern were studied. The effect of rim thickness on the discern ability of the transition between the primary and secondary input fluid flows has been studied. The results of changing the rim thickness of a conventional cylindrical tube while keeping the flow velocity ratio between the primary and secondary inlets constant were studied. It has been determined that the size and intensity of the recirculation bubble depend on a number of parameters. Considerations include the velocity-to-distance ratio, the speed of the lateral injection, and the position of the injection point. Coaxial flows and turbulent side-mass jets have been the subject of a great deal of research. The intensity of turbulence, axial temperature change, and axial velocity has all been the subject of much study.

A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF DEVOPS USAGE IN PRACTICE

Abstract

Organizations are introducing agile and lean software development techniques in operations to increase the pace of their software development process and to improve the quality of their software. They use the term DevOps, a portmanteau of development and operations, as an umbrella term to describe their efforts. In this paper we describe the ways in which organizations implement DevOps and the outcomes they experience. We first summarize the results of a Systematic Literature Review that we performed to discover what researchers have written about DevOps. DevOps is an emerging practice to be followed in Software Development life cycle. The name DevOps indicates that it’s an integration of Development and Operations team. It is followed to integrate the various stages of the development lifecycle. DevOps is an extended version of the existing agile method. DevOps aims at Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, Continuous Improvement, faster Feedback and Security. This paper reviews the building blocks of DevOps, challenges in adopting DevOps, Models to improve DevOps practices and Future works on DevOps.

RETINEX-INSPIRED METHODS FOR IMAGE CONTRAST IMPROVEMENT

Abstract

Picture contrast records the spatial variation of an image signal, a key characteristic for numerous computer vision applications such as object detection and texture retrieval. Contrast metrics help to describe the local image structure at different scales, aiding in these tasks. In this work, we introduce MiRCo, a new contrast metric for images based on Retinex theory. MiRCo is invariant to light shifts and in-plane rotations, making it stable across varying lighting conditions and orientations. These properties enable MiRCo to deliver a reliable and precise representation of local image structure. Here, we present MiRCo\'s mathematical foundations and compare its performance to other widely-used contrast metrics.
