The periodic variation in the water level of the Amazon basin is the mainfactor that determines the composition of the community of aquaticorganisms due to cyclical changes. As the dry season in the Amazonregion may vary ...

Using the daily rainfall data from 1961 through 1980 the frequency of dry and wet periods was determined. The results of the frequency distribution of dry and wet periods indicated that observed data fit very closely an ...

With the aim of making food drying processing data and their evaluation available, this work entails evaluating the air-drying kinetics of fresh pumpkin slices and those pre-treated by applying an edible pectin coating or ...

This study aimed at evaluating the use of solar kiln for the drying of woods of Eucalyptus tereticornis, Eucalyptus saligna and Corymbia citriodora, as well as comparing the methodology to the air drying. In order to do ...

A mathematical model able to predict solid and drying gas temperature and moisture content axial profiles along a direct contact rotary dryer was developed. The study was focused on the drying kinetics based on phenomenological ...
