Effects of fin spacing, temperature difference and tube diameter on flow pathlines and local heat transfer were also studied. It was shown that pathlines remain mostly circular for different geometries. Moreover, the contributions of fin periphery, fin side and bare tube to heat transfer were specified. It was shown that the heat transfer per unit area of fin periphery can be several times that of other parts. Moreover, in higher finspacing, the heat transfer from the bare tube can be more important than fin sides.展开更多

Using non-parametrical statistics the categories identified dominance interactions, fish-related dominance interactions, food obtained, food-related incidents, fish stolen, property damage, and use of deterrents either decreasing or exhibiting no significant trends over time. Aggressive behavior by bears towards park staff in bear management situations increased. An elevated walkway and platform at Brooks Falls and an electric fence at the campground marked significant decrease in bear-human interactions in these areas. Changes in fishing regulations in 1998 marked significant decreases in number of fish stolen. Changes in minimum distance regulations in 2003 marked no change in number of dominance interactions or bluff charges. Efforts to facilitate visitor traffic in areas around the floating bridge have marked significant increases in number of bear-human interactions. Management and policy efforts have been successful in minimizing bear-human interactions. Habituation of bears to human activity has likely contributed to both minimizing general interactions and increased aggressive bear behavior towards management staff. This study provides examples of successful adaptive management tactics for bears and humans in a visitor oriented setting.展开更多

Nowadays, natural fermentation is widely employed to produce VCO in wet processing. But the problem in natural fermentation process has much contamination, due to surplus micro organisms present in natural environment, which leads to the poor quality of VCO. To overcome this, usage of probiotic organism like Lactobacillus fermentum is more beneficial for the fermentative production of VCO. Fermentation studies were conducted scientifically in computer controlled bioreactor to determine the effect of pH, temperature, inoculum concentration, oxygen requirement and incubation time on the yield of VCO. Yield efficiency of VCO in each parameter was determined. The pH of 5± 0.1, temperature at 45 ± 0.1 ~C, inoculum concentration of 2%, fermentation end time of 48 hrs and microaerophilic conditions are the most suitable parameters for the superior production of VCO.展开更多
