Fruit Yield and Composition of Native Fruits, Partridgeberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea L.) and Bakeapple (Rubus chamaemorus L.)
(2013-07-08)Plant growth, fruit yield and composition of nutritional constituents of bakeapple and partridgeberry were monitored and analyzed over 2011 and 2012 growing seasons. Data were collected from three locations on different ... -
A FRUIT-BASED FUNCTIONAL BEVERAGE DESIGNED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE
(2012-11-14)A functional beverage, designed to be cardio-protective, was formulated, using a blend of juices of cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon L), blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium Aiton.), apple (Malus domestica L.), ginger (Zingiber ... -
FSM Modeling of Off-Blockchain Computation
(2021-04-06)Blockchain benefits are due to immutability, replication, and storage-and-execution of smart contracts on the blockchain. However, the benefits come at increased costs due to the blockchain size and execution. We address ... -
FT-NIR CONTINUOUS MONITORING OF THE REAGENT PREPARATION OF AMINE ALONG WITH THE BATCH-TO-CONTINUOUS CONVERSION OF THE PROCESS.
(2017-02-17)This work explores FT-NIR monitoring methods for Amine compounds commonly encountered in potash processing, including flotation reagents and their degree of neutralization, amine dosing in oils used as anti-caking agents, ... -
FT-NIR Review of Application Limits and Application to Chitosan Characterization
(2017-04-12)This thesis reviews recent applications of NIR spectroscopy, specifically focusing on O-H, N-H and C-H bonds found most commonly in water, alcoholic beverages, proteins and sugars, and identifies practical errors associated ... -
FULLY DIGITAL TIME DOMAIN MULTIPLIER
(2017-09-01)A fully digital Time Domain Multiplier (TDM) has been proposed in this thesis for application in time domain signal processing. The Time Domain Multiplier presented in this work is based on the principle of repetitive ... -
Fully Dynamic Graph Orientation
(2015-01-06)In this thesis we consider the problem of edge orientation, where the goal is to orient the edges of an undirected dynamic graph with n vertices so that the out-degree of every vertex is bounded, typically by a function ... -
FUNchitecture: Play as Essential Public Urban Infrastructure
(2016-04-08)This thesis stresses the importance of social infrastructure in urban environments and proposes that a play infrastructure is an equally essential function to the city as access to water. As play is established as a ... -
