Fresh beef tumbling at different post-mortem times to improve tenderness and proteolytic features of M. longissimus lumborum

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of tumbling at different post-mortem times on the proteolytic features and quality attributes of beef loins (M. longissimus lumborum). Loins (n = 12) were cut into 4 sections and assigned to tumbling at 1, 6 or 11 days post-mortem or non-tumbled control. Upon tumbling, additional ageing was applied to a common post-mortem time of 16 days. In general, tumbling had no considerable impacts on water-holding ability of samples. Tumbling resulted in an immediate decrease in shear force values (WBSF) of beef samples. Tumbling at 1 day post-mortem with no ageing had similar WBSF compared to the non-tumbled controls at 16 days (P > 0.05). With ageing, tumbling increased amounts of protein degradation, myofibrillar fragmentation and calpain-1 autolysis of samples. These results suggest that early post-mortem tumbling coupled with ageing can synergistically impact the tenderness development of beef loins and shorten the necessary ageing period.     

Entropy generation minimization on electromagnetohydrodynamic radiative Casson nanofluid flow over a melting Riga plate

Minimizing entropy generation is a technique that helps improve the effectiveness of real processes by studying the associated irreversibility of system performance of nanofluid. This study examines the entropy generation analysis of electromagnetohydrodynamic radiative Casson flow induced by a stretching Riga plate in a non-Darcian porous medium under the influence of internal energy change, Arrhenius activation energy, chemical reaction, and melting heat transfer. The thermophysical features of the fluid are assumed constant in most of the literature. However, this current research bridges this gap by considering viscosity, conductivity, and diffusivity as temperature-dependent variables. Also, the exponential decaying Grinberg term is used as a resistive force in this investigation due to the electromagnetic properties of the Riga plate in the momentum conservation equation. Some suitable dimensionless variables are introduced to remodel the transport equations into unitless ones and then solved numerically by employing Galerkin Weighted Residual Method. Analyses reveal that the Casson parameter declines the fluid velocity, while the existence of the melting parameter has the opposite effect. Also, this article includes some future recommendations.

Hydraulic reactivity and cement formation of baghdadite

In this study, the hydraulic reactivity and cement formation of baghdadite (Ca₃ZrSi₂O₉) was investigated. The material was synthesized by sintering a mixture of CaCO₃, SiO₂, and ZrO₂ and then mechanically activated using a planetary mill. This leads to a decrease in particle and crystallite size and a partial amorphization of baghdadite as shown by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and laser diffraction measurements. Baghdadite cements were formed by the addition of water at a powder to liquid ratio of 2.0 g/ml. Maximum compressive strengths were found to be ~2 MPa after 3-day setting for a 24-h ground material. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) measurements showed an incongruent dissolution profile of set cements with a preferred dissolution of calcium and only marginal release of zirconium ions. Cement formation occurs under alkaline conditions, whereas the unground raw powder leads to a pH of 11.9 during setting, while prolonged grinding increased pH values to approximately 12.3.     

Enhanced wide-activated residual network for efficient and accurate image deblocking

To save bandwidth and storage space as well as speed up data transmission, people usually perform lossy compression on images. Although the JPEG standard is a simple and effective compression method, it usually introduces various visually unpleasing artifacts, especially the notorious blocking artifacts. In recent years, deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have seen remarkable development in compression artifacts reduction. Despite the excellent performance, most deep CNNs suffer from heavy computation due to very deep and wide architectures. In this paper, we propose an enhanced wide-activated residual network (EWARN) for efficient and accurate image deblocking. Specifically, we propose an enhanced wide-activated residual block (EWARB) as basic construction module. Our EWARB gives rise to larger activation width, better use of interdependencies among channels, and more informative and discriminative non-linearity activation features without more parameters than residual block (RB) and wide-activated residual block (WARB). Furthermore, we introduce an overlapping patches extraction and combination (OPEC) strategy into our network in a full convolution way, leading to large receptive field, enforced compatibility among adjacent blocks, and efficient deblocking. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our EWARN outperforms several state-of-the-art methods quantitatively and qualitatively with relatively small model size and less running time, achieving a good trade-off between performance and complexity.

Preparation of α-cordierite through mechanochemical activation of MgO–Al2O3–SiO2 ternary system

Samples of the ternary system MgO–Al₂O₃–SiO₂ with stoichiometric composition in relation to α-cordierite (Mg₂A_l4Si₅O₁₈), consisting of 22.2 mol% MgO, 22.2 mol% Al₂O₃, and 55.6 mol% SiO₂, were activated in a low energy mill with a constant speed of 100 rpm, in an aqueous medium. The precursors used were corundum (Al₂O₃), silica gel HF254 type 60 (SiO₂), and periclase (MgO). The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of mechanochemical activation on the solid-state synthesis of α-cordierite, using a low energy ball mill. Another objective was to shed light on the effect of mechanochemical activation on the steps of α-cordierite formation. For this end several grinding conditions were evaluated, varying the time and mass ratio of precursors/grinding elements, as well as calcination at different temperatures between 950 °C and 1350 °C for 2 h. The samples were analyzed for the determination of the formed phases by Infrared (IR) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). The phases identified in uncalcined samples were brucite (Mg(OH)₂), forsterite (Mg₂SiO₄), enstatite (MgSiO₃), spinel (MgAl₂O₃), amorphous silica (SiO₂), corundum (α-Al₂O₃), and zirconia (monoclinic and tetragonal ZrO₂). The lowest temperature corresponding to the formation of α-cordierite (α-Mg₂Al₄Si₅O₁₈) was 1150 °C and a considerable amount of this phase (16.2%) was observed at this temperature, for the sample with the higher mechanochemical activation. In a solid-state reaction, α-cordierite is normally obtained at around 1400 °C, therefore, the formation of this phase at 1150 °C confirms that the mechanochemical activation method, using a low-cost ball mill, is efficient in reducing the solid-state reaction temperature.
