The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of thermally compressed veneer laminating on some S.H. MonsterArts of the physical and mechanical properties of particleboard.Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky) veneers were compressed under various press conditions.Commercially produced particleboard samples were laminated with such compre
In this study, we used a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to address a variation of the non-deterministic polynomial-time NP-hard traveling tournament problem, which determines the optimal schedule for a double round-robin tournament, for an even number of teams, to minimize the number of trips taken.Our proposed algorithm iteratively ex
Theoretical and empirical evidence are synthesized to show that underwater acoustic sensing techniques may provide a valuable tool for measuring the wind speed and determining the destructive power of a hurricane.This is done by first developing a model for the acoustic intensity and mutual intensity in an ocean waveguide due to a hurricane Softshe
Full-fat roasted date seeds are considered an excellent source of antioxidants which can treat many diseases.The specific objectives were to investigate the effect of roasting temperature and time on the hardness of whole seeds, moisture content of the roasted date seeds powder, DPPH radical scavenging activity, total phenolic contents, extraction
