Effect of Freeze-chill Technology and Modified Packaging on the Quality of Whiting (Merlangius merlcmgus), Mackerel (Scomber scombrus) and Salmon (Salmo salar) Portions
(2003)
Freeze-chilling involves freezing and frozen storage followed by thawing and chilled storage. It offers logistic benefits for fish packers as it enables packaged fillets to be held frozen and then released into the chill ...
Factors influencing the mechanical behaviour of small devices such as stents
(2003)
A coronary stent is a mechanical device designed to open arteries that have been occluded. The manufacturing of stents involves the laser cutting of specific designs in stainless steel tubes. In order to determine factors ...
Instrumentation and software for the VERITAS Project and the detection of TeV Gamma-Ray Emission from the BL Lacertae Object 1ES1959+650
(2003)
Transmission of Cherenkov light through the atmosphere is strongly influenced by the optical clarity of the atmosphere and the prevailing weather conditions. The performance of telescopes measuring this light is therefore ...
