The frying process is complicated because of a large number of parameters involved and the interactions between them. High stability liquid oils are in great demand. The best way to decide on the fats and oils suitability for frying is to study their natural stability to oxidation. In this study, consecutive deep-fat frying was done by using potato

Garcinia atroviridis contains hydroxycitric acid (HCA) that affects obesity and obesityrelated diseases. This paper aims to quantify the amount of (HCA) available in the fruit extract of Garcinia atroviridis and investigate the lipid modulation properties possessed by the extract in the 3T3-L1 adipocyte cell line. High-performance liquid chromatogr

In this paper, a new configuration of four elements circular equivalent planar array has been proposed to achieve high gain and directivity with lower sidelobe level. After being designed and simulated, the proposed antenna array has achieved high directivity of 15.3 dBi with 85 % radiation efficiency. Besides, the array has a maximum realized gain
