Iso-α-acids are known to contribute to the characteristic bitter taste of beer. Six iso-α-acids were isolated from a carbon dioxide extract of the cones of Humulus lupulus L. by centrifugal partition chromatography followed by separation through β- cyclodextrin binding. This method overcame the low yield issue of most isolation procedures that r

This paper presents a study of the development of a surface roughness model in end milling of hardened steel AISI D2 using PVD TiAIN coated carbide cutting tool. The hardness of AISI D2 tool lies within the range of 56-58 HRe. The independent variables or the primary machining parameters selected for this experiment were the cutting speed, feed, an

This paper presents a study of the development of a tool life model in end milling of hardened steel AISI D2 using PVD TiAlN coated carbide cutting tool. The hardness of AISI D2 tool lies within the range of 56-58 HRC. The independent variables or the primary machining parameters selected for this experiment were the cutting speed, feed, and depth

Methods: Two hundred respondents of both sexes (100 Male & 100 Female) with an age range of 40-60 years were i

Infancy and preschool age is an important stage of life where the nutrition plays an important role and long lasting effects in the later years of life. This study was conducted in the two Tehsils namely Lahore and Swabi of the District Swabi, North West Frontier Province (NWFP)-Pakistan. The aim of the study was to identify the extent of malnutrit

Methodology : Twenty female students were registered from the female hostel of the NWFP, Agricultural University, Peshawar-Pakistan for the assessment of energy and macronutrients (protein, carbohydrate & fats) intakes by duplicate food samples. The age, weight and height of the students were recorded on the day of the registration. The student

This essay investigates the implementation of istihsan (juristic preference) in the early history of Islam by identifying the concept of ijtihad (independent effort) and ra’y (juristic opinion),both of which played an enormous role in the development of Islamic law. Ijtihad by ra’y (personal judgment in juridical judgment)has been practiced fro

This paper presents a rule-based text- to- speech (TTS) Synthesis System for Standard Malay, namely SMaTTS. The proposed system using sinusoidal method and some pre- recorded wave files in generating speech for the system. The use of phone database significantly decreases the amount of computer memory space used, thus making the system very light a

This paper will look at the emphasis on communication in the new Brunei mathematics curriculum for primary schools, the components of mathematics communication to be developed and the approaches to develop communication among Bruneian students as stated and suggested in the new curriculum document. This paper will also present problems pertaining t

Different types of abrasives are used in abrasive water-jet machining like garnet, aluminum oxide, olivine, silica sand, silicon carbide, etc. The present work gives a comparative analysis of the performance of garnet, aluminum oxide and silicon oxide during abrasive water-jet machining of glass. The study showed that width of cut increases as the
