In this study, we have developed a propulsion mechanism using a fin with variable effective length spring as variable stiffness mechanics.We measured its thrust and the lateral forces in water tank with three dimensional flow and that with quasi two dimensional environment.Additionally, three dimensional numerical analysis of the propulsion mechani
Effect of the Roasting Conditions on the Physicochemical, Quality and Sensory Attributes of Coffee-Like Powder and Brew from Defatted Palm Date Seeds
Developing a bioactive brew is a novel track for revalorization of palm date byproducts.The effect of roasting temperature (160, 180 and 200 °C ) and roasting time (10, 20 and 30 min) on the hardness of the roasted date seeds, moisture content of the 5x4 tattoo defatted roasted date seed powder (DRDSP), bulk density of the DRDSP, color paramet
The Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and Benefit Sharing: What is New and What are the Implications for Provider and User Countries and the Scientific Community?
In culmination of the efforts by the Conference of the Parties (COP) of the Convention on Biological Diversity (1992) to adopt an international regime to regulate access and benefit sharing, the Nagoya Protocol was adopted at the COP 10 in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, on 29 October 2010.The preceding negotiations aimed to produce a legal tool or regime tha
