Application of the Concept of Glass Transition Temperature for Better Color Retention and Less Shrinkage of Dried Potato Slices[ ]


In this study, the influence of the temperature with five temperature profile levels on color change and shrinkage was determined. One level of temperature profiles was kept constant. The remaining four levels of the temperature profile were stepped down from high temperature to low temperatures before the samples have attained moisture content at which glass transition temperature is reached.

The Impact of the implementation mistakes on the construction design in the Arab region, and the ability of the reinforced concrete buildings to resist the applied service loads after the implementation (Libya as a Case Study)[ ]


As a result of congestion construction market in the Arab Union by incompetent engineers and who are lack of engineering knowledge and proper engineering expertise; as well as, in some cases, the absence of control over some construction companies leads to prompting them to dispense with the services of engineers and rely on untrained labor to construct reinforced concrete structures. All this led to commit mistakes during the construction operation and that have a negative impact on resistant buildings for the applied loads and environmental conditions.

Characterisation of Induced Mutagenicity via Single-cell gel Electrophoresis in RAW264.7 and Caco-2 cells by hydrogen peroxide[ ]


The need for a complementary short-term mutagenicity bioassay with robust endpoints to the Ames assay has become increasingly crucial in order to avoid false negative results. The alternative STT used in conjunction with the Ames increases the validity and decreases the number of false positive outcomes. As a result, Caco-2 cells (Human intestinal epithelial cell model) and RAW264.7 cells (mouse microphage-like cell line) were treated for 24 hours with graded doses of hydrogen peroxide (0, 5, 10, 20, and 40 µM) (oxidative stress-inducing mutagen). Single- and double-strand DNA damage was quantified using single-cell gel electrophoresis (Comet assay).

An approach for code suggestion via code search[ ]


Programmers frequently write code that can be similar to existing code which may be written somewhere. An approach could help programmers to complete partially written code snippets to implement necessary functionality, help to discover extended lines of code to the partial code which are commonly used statements by other programmers, help to cross-check against similar code written by other programmers and also helps in fixing common mistakes and errors. Although there are many existing techniques which could potentially be used to get code suggestions.

An Introduction to AI Quality Engineering[ ]


Everyone involved in IT projects will either have come across AI already, or will do so soon. Although a modern technology, we will still see patterns and models to which known testing skills and techniques can be applied. As such, we believe that in this new era the same solid base of testing knowledge still applies. But for testing AI and while using AI for testing, additional skills will be needed. It is an illusion to think that testers alone will be able to perform all testing tasks.

Performance Evaluation and Working Efficiency of Sewage Treatment Plant at Naini, Prayagraj[ ]


Wastewater treatment is an essential process to make water reusable. The multi-step process includes removal of grit, BOD and other important contaminants from incoming water. At 80 MLD Naini STP, activated sludge process is used to remove impurities from raw sewage and is then dumped into river Yamuna with industrial effluent standards. This experiment is based on physico-chemical parameters analysis of water samples from Naini 80 MLD STP. The aim of the experiment is to find out the working efficiency of the same treatment plant with industrial effluent standards by CPCB. Comparison of parameters with CPCB and BIS revealed that the treatment plant is working under prescribed standards. For both TSS and BOD, Naini STP worked as per satisfactory standards range.
