Anthocyanins (ACs) are phenolic compounds that are distributed widely in fruits and vegetables. Apart from imparting color
to plants, ACs also have an array of health-promoting benefits. In this research, the amounts of major ACs of 15 pomegranate
(Punica granatum L.) varieties obtained from Yazd province were determined. The major ACs detected in the studied varieties were as follows:
delphinidin 3-glucoside (2.19–16.29 mg/L), delphinidin 3,5-diglucoside (2.36–63.07 mg/L), pelargonidin 3-glucoside (0.26–1.36 mg/L),
pelargonidin 3,5-diglucoside (0.01–8.11 mg/L), cyanidin 3-glucoside (5.78–30.38 mg/L), and cyanidin 3,5-diglucoside (4.39–166.32 mg/L).
The effect of storage time of unprocessed and pasteurized juices on ACs content of four selected varieties was also studied.
Average degradation percentage of each AC was between 23.0 and 83.0% during 10 days at 4 °C. Moreover, in pasteurized juices
average degradation of ACs was 42.8 ± 0.5% after 10 weeks storage at 4 °C. 相似文献

Todays, XML as a de facto standard is used to broadcast data over mobile wireless networks. In these networks, mobile clients send their XML queries over a wireless broadcast channel and recieve their desired XML data from the channel. However, downloading the whole XML data by a mobile device is a challenge since the mobile devices used by clients are small battery powered devices with limited resources.
To meet this challenge, the XML data should be indexed in such a way that the desired XML data can be found easily and only such data can be downloaded instead of the whole XML data by the mobile clients. Several indexing methods are proposed to selectively access the XML data over an XML stream. However, the existing indexing methods cause an increase in the size of XML stream by including some extra information over the XML stream. In this paper, a new XML stream structure is proposed to disseminate the XML data over a broadcast channel by grouping and summarizing the structural information of XML nodes. By summarizing such information, the size of XML stream can be reduced and therefore, the latency of retrieving the desired XML data over a wirless broadcast channel can be reduced. The proposed XML stream structure also contains indexes in order to skip from the irrelevant parts over the XML stream. It therefore can reduce the energy consumption of mobile devices in downloading the results of XML queries. In addition, our proposed XML stream structure can process different types of XML queries and experimental results showed that it improves the performace of XML query processing over the XML data stream compared to the existing research works in terms of access and tuning times.
Combining accurate neural networks (NN) in the ensemble with negative error correlation greatly improves the generalization ability. Mixture of experts (ME) is a popular combining method which employs special error function for the simultaneous training of NN experts to produce negatively correlated NN experts. Although ME can produce negatively correlated experts, it does not include a control parameter like negative correlation learning (NCL) method to adjust this parameter explicitly. In this study, an approach is proposed to introduce this advantage of NCL into the training algorithm of ME, i.e., mixture of negatively correlated experts (MNCE). In this proposed method, the capability of a control parameter for NCL is incorporated in the error function of ME, which enables its training algorithm to establish better balance in bias-variance-covariance trade-off and thus improves the generalization ability. The proposed hybrid ensemble method, MNCE, is compared with their constituent methods, ME and NCL, in solving several benchmark problems. The experimental results show that our proposed ensemble method significantly improves the performance over the original ensemble methods. 相似文献
In this article, we consider the project critical path problem in an environment with hybrid uncertainty. In this environment, the duration of activities are considered as random fuzzy variables that have probability and fuzzy natures, simultaneously. To obtain a robust critical path with this kind of uncertainty a chance constraints programming model is used. This model is converted to a deterministic model in two stages. In the first stage, the uncertain model is converted to a model with interval parameters by alpha-cut method and distribution function concepts. In the second stage, the interval model is converted to a deterministic model by robust optimization and min-max regret criterion and ultimately a genetic algorithm with a proposed exact algorithm are applied to solve the final model. Finally, some numerical examples are given to show the efficiency of the solution procedure. 相似文献

In this paper, a five-level cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverters topology is applied on induction motor control known as direct torque control (DTC) strategy. More inverter states can be generated by a five-level inverter which improves voltage selection capability. This paper also introduces two different control methods to select the appropriate output voltage vector for reducing the torque and flux error to zero. The first is based on the conventional DTC scheme using a pair of hysteresis comparators and look up table to select the output voltage vector for controlling the torque and flux. The second is based on a new fuzzy logic controller using Sugeno as the inference method to select the output voltage vector by replacing the hysteresis comparators and lookup table in the conventional DTC, to which the results show more reduction in torque ripple and feasibility of smooth stator current. By using Matlab/Simulink, it is verified that using five-level inverter in DTC drive can reduce the torque ripple in comparison with conventional DTC, and further torque ripple reduction is obtained by applying fuzzy logic controller. The simulation results have also verified that using a fuzzy controller instead of a hysteresis controller has resulted in reduction in the flux ripples significantly as well as reduces the total harmonic distortion of the stator current to below 4 %. 相似文献
In this paper, a novel algorithm for image encryption based on hash function is proposed. In our algorithm, a 512-bit long external secret key is used as the input value of the salsa20 hash function. First of all, the hash function is modified to generate a key stream which is more suitable for image encryption. Then the final encryption key stream is produced by correlating the key stream and plaintext resulting in both key sensitivity and plaintext sensitivity. This scheme can achieve high sensitivity, high complexity, and high security through only two rounds of diffusion process. In the first round of diffusion process, an original image is partitioned horizontally to an array which consists of 1,024 sections of size 8 × 8. In the second round, the same operation is applied vertically to the transpose of the obtained array. The main idea of the algorithm is to use the average of image data for encryption. To encrypt each section, the average of other sections is employed. The algorithm uses different averages when encrypting different input images (even with the same sequence based on hash function). This, in turn, will significantly increase the resistance of the cryptosystem against known/chosen-plaintext and differential attacks. It is demonstrated that the 2D correlation coefficients (CC), peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), encryption quality (EQ), entropy, mean absolute error (MAE) and decryption quality can satisfy security and performance requirements (CC <0.002177, PSNR <8.4642, EQ >204.8, entropy >7.9974 and MAE >79.35). The number of pixel change rate (NPCR) analysis has revealed that when only one pixel of the plain-image is modified, almost all of the cipher pixels will change (NPCR >99.6125 %) and the unified average changing intensity is high (UACI >33.458 %). Moreover, our proposed algorithm is very sensitive with respect to small changes (e.g., modification of only one bit) in the external secret key (NPCR >99.65 %, UACI >33.55 %). It is shown that this algorithm yields better security performance in comparison to the results obtained from other algorithms. 相似文献
Adsorption isotherms for activated carbon made from pecan shells have been obtained at 25 °C and an approximate pH of 3 for a number of metal ion solutes. It was found that the Slips and Freundlich equations were satisfactory for explaining the experimental data. The correlation of metal ion adsorption with the solute parameters of metal ion electronegativity and first stability constant of the metal hydroxide was investigated. In the case of most of the metal ions studied, higher electronegativities and stability constants corresponded to the higher adsorption levels of metal ions onto the activated carbon. A correlation was developed that predicts the constants of the Freundlich equation from the selected parameters of the metal ions, and thus can predict the adsorption isotherms at constant pH. The developed correlation gives results with acceptable deviations from experimental data. A procedure is proposed for obtaining similar correlations for different conditions (temperature, pH, carbon type and dosage). The ratio of equivalent metal ions adsorbed to protons released is calculated for the studied metal ions over a range of concentrations. In most cases, particularly at low concentrations, this ratio is close to one, confirming that ion exchange of one proton with one equivalent metal ion is the dominant reaction mechanism. 相似文献
