We provide a synthesis of a workshop held in February 2016 to define the goals, challenges and next steps for developing a national probabilistic volcanic hazard model for New Zealand.The workshop involved volcanologists, statisticians, and hazards scientists from GNS Science, Massey University, University of Otago, Victoria University of Wellingto
Currently most food products are cooled and frozen in air-blast cold storage Salad Servers to prolong storage time.The airflow field distribution in storage has a great impact on the process of food freezing and energy cost by that.In this paper, a transient model of food freezing considering airflow field was developed to simulation the temperatur
Reciprocating motion is a widely existing form of mechanical motion in the natural environment.Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) that work in sliding mode are ideal for harnessing large-distance reciprocating motion, and their energy conversion efficiency could be greatly enhanced by adding springs to them.Herein, we focused on investigating the
The effects induced by heat on Depurple and Cheddar (Brassica oleracea L.var.botrytis) during boiling, steaming, and sous-vide were investigated to elucidate the role of ORG WALNUTS the basic cellular elements in softening and extractability of sterols and tocopherols.With this aim, an elastoplastic mechanical model was conceptualized at a cell sca
