TL;DR: In this article, electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to explore the changes in the cell physiological status of potato tissues during hot air drying at 50-80°C.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of blanching and freeze-thaw pretreatment on the drying rate of carrots and the relationship between drying rate and state of cell membranes, cell wall and pectin methylesterase (PME) activity in the pretreated tissues were investigated.

TL;DR: This paper experimentally compared the performance of OSDM and existing communication schemes - single-carrier with decision feedback equalizer (DFE) and orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM)-in a test tank and found that OSDM with a multichannel receiver is attractive in terms of communication quality.

TL;DR: In this article, an ultrasonic measurement of temperature distribution is presented, where a measurement area is partitioned into a 1×3 grid and sound velocities in each partitioned grid square are obtained by arranging the speakers, microphones and three reflectors appropriately.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of air-drying on the dehydrofreezing of carrots and to determine how cell membrane damage affects the texture of sample tissues was investigated to evaluate the impedance characteristics, rehydration ratio and texture of dried-rehydrated carrots and rehydrated carrot after de-freezing-thawing.
