The formulations were developed using the central composite rotational design and having as dependent variables specific volume, hardness, crumb color and image analysis. Statistical analysis was performed using multiple regression and response surface. The results showed that the inclusion of powdered acai and polydextrose in bread formulations reduces the specific volume and alveoli number and increases the browning and hardness of the bread. However, values of this addition （30 g/100 g） were found that did not promote significant quality reduction and the scanning electron microscopy （SEM） showed minimal damage to the gluten network at this level of incorporation.展开更多

With an optical concentration of 7.5：1, operating temperatures over 130 ℃ may be reached. This novel design has included a FEM （finite element modeling） validation and is compatible with the standard reflectors and evacuated tubes in the market. The peak efficiencies of 35% with unshielded and more than 45% with evacuated tube receivers were obtained. This CPC-trough collector requires intermittent tracking, i.e., tilt adjustment is only once in a week for more than eight hours collection in summer and six to seven hours in winter seasons.展开更多
