Effect of Parallelepipedic and Spherical Shapes Dimensions on Convective Drying Characteristics of Sweet Potato | Chapter 1 | Science and Technology: Recent Updates and Future Prospects Vol. 12

 

The aim of this work is to determine the characteristic dimension governing transfers during convective drying. Parallelepipedic and cylindrical form of sweet potato was used. This present work determines this characteristic dimension for the samples of sweet potatoes of parallelepipedal and cubic shapes. We have fixed the characteristic dimension in the direction of the thickness of the samples of parallelepiped shape and of the radius for the samples of cylindrical shape. For the parallelepidic form P_L-l-e, the thickness e is set to 1cm while the length L and the width l vary. The results show that the variation of the dimensions other than the thickness e does not influence the transfers in a considerable way. The same observation is made for the cylindrical samples c_H-R by keeping the radius R constant. From the foregoing, the thickness of the parallelepiped samples turns out to be the dimension that best governs the transfers versus its length and width. Likewise, with regard to cylindrical samples, the fixed radius smaller than the height is the characteristic dimension of the transfers in the product during its convective drying. If we know that the initial size is an important factor for transfers during convective drying (Ouoba, 2013), this present work therefore allows us to conclude that the thickness of the parallelepiped-shaped samples and the radius of the cylindrical shapes, all being the smallest dimensions, characterize the transfers. This work highlights the importance and the existence of a characteristic dimension that dictated the transfers during the convective drying of organic products such as sweet potatoes.

The Involvement of Father in Child Development: A Theoretical Research Progress | Chapter 1 | Recent Trends in Arts and Social Studies Vol. 8

 Background: In current years, accompanying the development of social frugality, the problem of father's partnership in parenting in family instruction has become more and more prominent, which is primarily manifested in the following facets: father's participation in children's create is less time, father's partnership in parenting styles tends expected more "introverted", and father's omission in parenting affects youngsters's development. There has existed a lot of research in the academic community on the reasons for this issue, but a accord has not been attained: some scholars resolve objective factors and trust that it is due to the influence of the traditional idea of "male dominated outside, female ruled inside", and in the real environment, extreme work pressure, employment in different places, divorce and separation, etc., which leads to fathers being powerless to raise children. Other philosopher analyze subjective determinants, and think the main reason is that fathers lack knowledge of raising children and professional create knowledge. Scholars have variable opinions on strategies to increase father partnership: some advocate beginning a comprehensive mechanism for guaranteeing access to instruction in different regions at the pertaining to society level; some crowd suggest legislating from a legal and tactics perspective to support fathers with sufficient entrust accompany their infants; some people trust that attention bear be paid to cultivating persons' awareness of competing in raising children; few people reveal the need to abandon the constraints of traditional thinking at the kin level, learn professional create knowledge through multiple channels, write well at the school level, provide help for fathers to raise children, and carry out miscellaneous forms of activities to help fathers to participate. In summary, it can be visualized that "father involvement" is a idea with rich content and complex structure, and allure connotation has forceful cultural dependence.Methods and Content: This paper uses the information retrieval method to orderly sort out the theoretical research brochure on father’sinvolvement at home and abroad, completely introduce the concept, proficient significance and hypothetical basis of father’sinvolvement, describe nine believes about its content form, present the differences of opinion, resolve the current research situation and existent problems, and point out the incident direction of the research.Conclusion: Father’sinvolvement is a complex public problem, which includes not only pedagogy and therapy, but also sociology, knowledge, management, cure, sports kinematics and other disciplines. We need to complete activity cross disciplinary research from diversified fields and perspectives, strengthen exploratory and follow-up research accompanying large samples and multiple centers, and intensely explore the implication, composition, influencing determinants, and mechanism of father’sinvolvement, so that correctly understand the distillate of "father's involvement" and fairly guide its development.Author(s) Details:

Dimensions of a Graph | Chapter 13 | Research and Applications Towards Mathematics and Computer Science Vol. 4

 We present eight infinite sets of continuous. Some we calculate. Roughly talking, we seek graphs as narrow as possible. The graphs present image of examples for various kinds of ’ranges’.In the second part ’Points’, we place points on the plane, and from this, we ask limitless many questions.In a third part, we present for each diagram a sequence named the ‘Thuerey Numbers’. At the end, we summarize the open questions.
