In order to produce an aluminum-matrix composite material with a density of 1.5 g/cm 3, we wouldneed to select a material having a density considerably less than 1.5 g/cm 3. While polyethylene’s density would make it a possibility, the polyethylene has a very low melting point compared to aluminum; this would make it very difficult to introduce the polyethylene into a solid aluminum matrix —processes such as casting or powder metallurgy would destroy the polyethylene .Therefore polyethylene would NOT be a likely possibility.One approach, however, might be to introduce hollow glass beads .Although ceramic glasses have densities comparable to that of aluminum, a hollow bead will have a very low density. The glass also has a high melting temperature and could be introduced into liquid aluminum for processing as a casting. (5 points)2.

抑菌带宽度的英文
抑菌带宽度的英文The width of an antimicrobial band is a crucial factor in ensuring its effectiveness against various pathogens. It plays a significant role in the design of medical textiles and protective gear.In healthcare settings, the optimal width of an antimicrobial band is essential for preventing the spread of infections. A well-crafted band can act as a barrier, providing a first line of defense against harmful microorganisms.Research indicates that the width should be proportionate to the area it is intended to cover. For instance, a band for a surgical mask should be wide enough to secure a snug fit around the face, minimizing the entry of contaminants.Moreover, the material of the band also influences its width. Bands made from woven fabrics might require adifferent width than those made from non-woven materials, due to differences in stretch and durability.The incorporation of antimicrobial agents into the band's fibers can further enhance its width-related properties. These agents work to inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi, and viruses, making the band an effective component of personal protective equipment.In conclusion, the width of an antimicrobial band is a multifaceted consideration that involves the balance between protection, comfort, and practicality. It must be carefully calibrated to meet the specific needs of the application and the individuals it is designed to protect.。

While staying up late may seem like a harmless habit, it can have significant effects on one's health and productivity. Here are some suggestions to make the most out of your late-night endeavors while minimizing the negative impacts:1. Plan Ahead: If you know you have to stay up late, try to prepare your day in advance. This might include getting a head start on your sleep the night before or planning lighter tasks for the following day to allow for recovery.2. Stay Hydrated and Snack Smart: Dehydration can exacerbate the effects of sleep deprivation. Drink plenty of water and opt for healthy snacks that can provide a steady source of energy without causing a sugar crash.3. Create a Comfortable Environment: Ensure your study or work area is well-lit and comfortable. A clutter-free space can help you focus better.4. Take Breaks: Every hour, take a short break to rest your eyes and stretch your body. This can help prevent fatigue and maintain alertness.5. Avoid Caffeine Overload: While a cup of coffee or tea can provide a much-needed energy boost, too much caffeine can lead to a jittery feeling and disrupt your sleep pattern for the following nights.6.

如何更好的管理时间英语作文
如何更好的管理时间英语作文Time is one of the most precious resources we have in life. It is a finite and non-renewable commodity, and how we choose to use it can have a significant impact on our productivity, success, and overall well-being. Effective time management is a crucial skill that can help us achieve our goals, reduce stress, and live a more fulfilling life. In this essay, we will explore some strategies and techniques that can help us better manage our time and make the most of the hours we have.One of the fundamental principles of effective time management is to prioritize our tasks and activities. We often find ourselves overwhelmed by the sheer number of responsibilities and commitments we have, and it can be easy to get caught up in the urgency of the moment rather than focusing on what's truly important. By taking the time to identify our priorities and allocate our time accordingly, we can ensure that we're spending our time on the tasks that will have the greatest impact on our lives.One way to do this is to create a to-do list or a daily schedule thatoutlines our tasks and their level of importance. This can help us identify the high-priority items that require our immediate attention, as well as the lower-priority tasks that can be delegated or postponed. By focusing our energy on the most important tasks first, we can ensure that we're making progress towards our goals and avoiding the temptation to get sidetracked by less important activities.Another key aspect of effective time management is learning to say "no." In our modern, fast-paced world, we are often bombarded with requests and demands on our time, and it can be easy to overcommit ourselves. However, it's important to recognize that we have limited resources and that we need to be selective about the commitments we make. By learning to politely decline requests that don't align with our priorities or that would stretch us too thin, we can free up time to focus on the tasks that are truly important to us.In addition to prioritizing our tasks and learning to say "no," effective time management also involves developing strategies for minimizing distractions and staying focused. In today's digital age, we are constantly bombarded by notifications, emails, and social media updates, all of which can disrupt our productivity and pull us away from our important tasks. To combat this, we can try techniques like turning off our notifications, setting aside dedicated time for checking emails and social media, and using productivity apps orbrowser extensions to block distracting websites.Another useful strategy for better managing our time is to break down larger tasks into smaller, more manageable steps. This can help us avoid feeling overwhelmed and make it easier to make progress on our goals. By breaking down a large project into a series of smaller, more achievable tasks, we can create a sense of momentum and accomplishment that can help us stay motivated and on track.Finally, it's important to remember that effective time management is not just about being productive – it's also about taking care of ourselves. Burnout and stress can have a significant impact on our ability to manage our time effectively, so it's important to build in regular breaks and self-care activities into our schedules. This might involve taking a walk, practicing meditation or mindfulness, or simply taking a few minutes to step away from our work and recharge.In conclusion, effective time management is a crucial skill that can help us achieve our goals, reduce stress, and live a more fulfilling life. By prioritizing our tasks, learning to say "no," minimizing distractions, breaking down larger tasks, and taking care of ourselves, we can develop strategies and techniques that will help us better manage our time and make the most of the hours we have. With practice and dedication, we can all become more effective and efficient in our use of time, and reap the rewards of a life well-lived.。

These colourful and sweet jewels form British Columbia’s fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein (蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries (樱桃), they are so delicious who caresHowever, they are rich in vitamin C.When combined with berries of slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit.

But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel(建议) parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have more books in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often, and parents who set aside time for them to read.As the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom(逼近) ahead, parents might take this chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.(1)What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?’s reading habits.of children’s books.’s after-class activities.relationships.(2)Where can you find the data that best supports "children are reading a lot less for fun"paragraph 2.paragraph 3.paragraph 4.paragraph 5.(3)Why do many parents limit electronic reading?are of poor quality.could be a waste of time.may ha rm children’s health.are expensive.(4)How should parents encourage their children to read more?as role models for them.then to write book reports.up reading groups for them.with their reading class teachers.’ve all been there: in a lift, in lin e at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.What’s the problemIt’s possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s awkward and challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an inv aluable social practice that results in big benefits.Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’teven exist if it weren’t for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease(润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. "Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk," he explains. "The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them."In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction(互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. "It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband," says Dunn. "But interactions with peripheral(边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also."Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others.

Department of agriculture and other organizations currently encourage consumers to participate in the "five a day" program which focuses on consumption of five servings of either fruit or vegetables each day.Energy (calories)(1) carbohydrates: banana, breadfruit, raisin葡萄⼲(2) proteins & amino acids: nuts, dried apricot and fig(3) fats. Avocado, olive, nutsFruits typically contain between 10% and 25% carbohydrates, a small amount (less than1.0%) of proteins, and a very small amount (less than 0.5 %) of fat. Carbohydrates, sugars,and starches are broken down to co2, water, and energy during metabolism. Carbohydrates and fats provide most of the calories the body requires for heat and energy.Vitamins(1) fresh fruits and vegetables contribute about 91% of vitamin c, 48% of vitamin a, 27% of vitamin b6, 17% of thiamin硫胺(维⽣素b1) to diet.(2) the following fruits are important contributors (based on their vitamin content and the amount consumed) to the supply of indicated vitamins in the u.s. Diet:*vitamin a: apricot, peach, cherry, orange, watermelon, cantaloupe*vitamin c: strawberry, orange, grapefruit, banana, apple, cantaloupe* niacin烟酸: peach, banana, orange, apricot"*riboflavin核黄素: banana, peach, orange, apple* thiamin: orange, banana, grapefruit, appleMinerals(1) fresh fruits and vegetables contribute about 26% of the magnesium镁and 19% of the iron to the u.s.

Diet:* potassium钾: banana, peach, orange, apple* phosphorus磷: banana, orange, peach, raisin, fig*calcium: tangerine, grapefruit, orange* iron: strawberry, banana, apple, orangeDietary fiber(1) all fruits and nuts contribute to the dietary fiber in the diet. Dietary fiber consists of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin⽊质素, and pectic substances, which are derived primarily from fruit cell walls and skin.(2) the dietary fiber content of fruits ranges from 0.5-1.5% (fresh weight basis).(3) dietary fiber plays an important role in relieving constipation by increasing water-holding capacity of feces. Its consumption is also linked to decreased incidence of cardiovascular disease, diverticulosis, and colon cancer.factors influefncing composition and quality of fruitsPreharvest factors(1) genetic: selection of cultivars, differences in raw fruit composition, durability, and response to processing. Fruit cultivars grown for fresh market sale will not be the optimal cultivars for processing.(2) climatic: temperature, light, wind--climatic factors may have a strong influence on nutritional quality of fruits. Light intensity significantly affects vitamin concentration, and temperature influences transpiration rate, which will affect mineral uptake and metabolism. ?(3) cultural practices: soil type, soil nutrient and water supply, pruning修剪, thinning, pest control-fertilizer addition may significantly affect the mineral content of fruit.1. 5 maturity at harvest and harvesting methodMaturity at harvest is one of the primary factors affecting fruit composition, quality, and storage life. Although most fruits reach peak eating quality when harvested fully ripe, they are usually picked mature, but not ripe, to decrease mechanical damage during postharvest handling. Harvesting may also mechanically damage fruit; therefore, choice of harvest methodshould allow for maintenance of quality.Postharvest factors1) environmental,2) handling methods,3) time period between harvesting and consumption(1) environmentalTemperature, relative humidity, atmospheric composition,(2) handling methodsPostharvest handling systems involve the channels through which harvested fruit reaches the processing facility or consumer. Handling methods should be chosen such that they maintain fruit quality and avoid delays.(3) time period between harvesting and consumptionDelays between harvesting and cooling or processing may result in direct losses (due to water loss and decay) and indirect losses (decrease in flavor and nutritional quality).Fruit maturity, ripening, and quality relationshipsMaturity at harvest is the most important factor that determines storage life and final fruit quality. Immature fruits are of inferior quality when ripened. Overripe fruits are likely to become soft and with insipid flavor soon after harvest. Fruits picked either too early or too late in the season are more susceptible to physiological disorders and have a shorter storage life than those picked at mid-season.Maturity and ripeningIn general, fruits become sweeter, more colorful, and softer as they mature.Some fruits are usually picked mature but unripe so that they can withstand the postharvest handling system when shipped long distances. Most currently used maturity indices are based on a compromise between those indices that would ensure the best eating quality to the consumer and those that provide the needed flexibility in transportation and marketing.Carbohydrates(碳⽔化合物)Carbohydrates : fresh fruits vary greatly in their carbohydrate content, with a general range being between 10% and 25%;. The texture, taste, and food value of a fresh fruit is related to its carbohydrate content. Sucrose, glucose, and fructose are the primary sugars found in fruits.Fructose is sweeter than sucrose, and sucrose is sweeter than glucose.Starch is converted to sugar as the fruits mature and ripen.Proteins(蛋⽩质)Fruits contain less than 1% protein (as opposed to 9-20% protein in nuts such as almond, and walnut). Changes in the level and activity of proteins resulting from permeability changes in cell membranes may be involved in chilling injury. Enzymes, which catalyze metabolic processes in fruits, are proteins that are important in the reactions involved in fruit ripening and senescence.Enzymes in fruits:(Organic acids(有机酸)Organic acids are important intermediate products of metabolism. The krebs (tca) cycle is the main channel for the oxidation of organic acids in living cells, and it provides the energy required for maintenance of cell integrity. Organic acids aremetabolized into manyconstituents, including amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins.Citric acid、malic acid、tartaric acid、oxalic acidPigments(⾊素)Pigments undergo many changes during the maturation and ripening of fruits.(1) loss of chlorophyll (green color), which is influenced by ph changes, oxidative conditions, and chlorophyllase action(2) synthesis and/or revelation of carotenoids (yellow and orange colors)(3) development of anthocyanins (red, blue, and purple colors.Beta-carotene is a precursor to vitamin a. Carotenoids are very stable and remain intact in fruit tissues, even when extensive senescence has occurred.Phenolic compounds(酚类化合物)Total phenolic content is higher in immature fruits than in mature fruits and is the main substrate involved in enzymatic browning of cut, or otherwise damaged, fruit tissues when exposed to air.Enzymatic browning(酶促褐变)Enzymatic browning occurs due to the oxidation of phenolic compounds and is mediated, in the presence of o2, by the enzyme polyphenoloxidase (ppo). The initial product of oxidation is usually o-quinone, which is highly unstable and undergoes polymerization to yield brown pigments of higher molecular weight. Polyphenoloxidase catalyzes the following tworeactions:Volatiles(挥发性)Volatiles are responsible for the characteristic aroma of fruits. They are present in extremely small quantities (c <100µg/g fresh wt.).Volatile compounds are largely esters(酯), alcohols, acids, aldehydes(醛), an d ketones (low-molecular weight compounds).VitaminsThe water-soluble vitamins includeVitamin c,Thiamin硫胺(维⽣素b1),Riboflavin核黄素,Niacin烟酸, vitamin b6,Folacin叶酸, vitamin b12, biotin维⽣素h. Fat soluble vitamins include vitamins a, d, e, and k.Fat-soluble vitamins are less susceptible to postharvest losses.Vitamin cAscorbic acid is most sensitive to destruction when the commodity is subjected to adverse handling and storage conditions. Losses are enhanced by extended storage, highertemperatures, low relative humidity, physical damage, and chilling injury. Postharvest losses in vitamins a and b are usually much smaller than losses in vitamin c.1.7 biological factors involved in postharvest deterioration (变坏) of fruits ?Respiration (呼吸作⽤)Ethylene productionTranspiration (蒸腾作⽤)Physiological disordersPhysical damagePathological breakdownRespirationStored organic materials (carbohydrates, proteins, fats) are broken down into simple end products with a release of energy. Oxygen (o2) is used in this process, and carbon dioxide (co2) is produced.The loss of stored food reserves in the commodity during respiration hastens senescence as the reserves that provide energy to maintain the commodity's living status are exhausted. ?Food value (energy value) for the consumer is lost; it has reduced flavor quality, with sweetness especially being lost; and salable dry weight is lost (especially important for commodities destined for dehydration). The energy released as heat.Ethylene productionEthylene, the simplest of the organic compounds affecting the physiological processes of plants, is produced by all tissues of higher plants. As a plant hormone, ethylene regulates many aspects of growth development, and senescence and is physiologically active in traceamounts (less than 0.1 ppm).Transpiration or water lossWater loss is the main cause of deterioration because it results not only direct quantitative.Losses (loss of salable weight) hut also in loss of its appearance, loss of cripsness, andjuiciness), and nutritional quality.The dermal system (outer protective coverings) governs the regulation of water loss by the commodity.Physiological disorders(1) freezing injury :usually results in immediate collapse of the tissues and total loss.(2) chilling injury when fruits (mainly those of tropical and subtropical origin) are held at temperatures above their freezing point and below 5-15℃, depending on the commodity. ?(3) heat injury results from exposure to direct sunlight or to excessively high temperatures.Symptoms include surface scalding, uneven ripening, excessive softening, and desiccation. ?(4) very low (<1%) oxygen and/or elevated (>20%) carbon dioxide concentration can result in physiological breakdown of all fruits.Physical damageVarious types of physical damage (surface injuries, impact bruising, vibration bruising, etc.) Are major contributors to deterioration. Mechanical injuries are not only unsightly, but also accelerate water loss, stimulate higher respiration and ethylene production rates, and favor decay incidence.Pathological breakdownDecay is one of the most common or apparent causes of deterioration; however, attack by many microorganisms usually follows mechanical injury or physiological breakdown, which allows entry to the microorganism. Pathogens can infect healthy tissues and become the primary cause of deterioration.Environmental factors influencing deterioration of fruits(影响⽔果变坏的环境因素)Temperature,Relative humidity,Air movement,Atmospheric composition,Ethylene,Harvesting procedures Postharvest handling proceduresDumping、Sorting、Sizing、Cooling、Storage、RipeningDumping:Fresh fruits should be handled with care throughout the postharvest handling system in order to minimize mechanical injuries. Dumping in water or in flotation tanks should be used for fruits. If dry dumping systems are used, they should be well padded bruising. Sorting:Manual sorting is usually carried out to eliminate fruit exhibiting defects or decay. For some fruits, it may also be necessary to sort the fruit into two or more classes of maturity or ripeness.Mechanical sorters, which operate on the basis of color, soluble solids, moisture, or fat content, are being implemented and may greatly reduce time and labor requirements. Sizing:In some cases, sizing the fruits into two or more size categories may be required before processing. Sizing can be done mechanically on the basis of fruit dimension or by weight.Mechanical sizing can be a major source of physical damage to the fruit if the machines are not adequately padded and adjusted to the minimum possible fruit drop heights Ripening:Ripening before processing may be required for certain fruits (banana, kiwifruit, mango, papaya, peach, pear, plum, melon) that are picked mature but unripe. Ethylene treatment can be used to obtain faster and more uniform ripening. The optimum temperature range for ripening is 15-25℃and, within this range, the higher the temperature, the faster the ripening. Relative humidity should be maintained between 90% and 95 % during ripening. Cooling:Cooling is utilized to remove field heat and lower the fresh fruit's temperature to near its optimum storage temperature. Cooling can be done using cold water (hydrocooling) or cold air (forced-air cooling or "pressure cooling"). Highly perishable fruits, such as strawberries, bush berries, and apricots, should be cooled to near 4℃within six hours of harvest. Other fruits should be cooled to their optimum temperature within twelve hours of harvest. Storage:Short-term or long-term storage of fresh fruits may be needed before processing to regulate the product flow and extend the processing season. The relative humidity in the storage facility should be kept between 90% and 95%.To reduce decay, elevated c02 (15-20%) may be added to the atmosphere within pallet covers for strawberries, bush berries, and cherries, and sulfur dioxide (200 ppm) fumigation may be used on grapes.1.8 quality measurementsMany quality measurements can be made before a fruit crop is picked in order to determine if proper maturity or degree of ripeness has developed.ColourColour may be measured with instruments or by comparing the colour of fruit on the tree with standard picture charts. TextureTexture may be measured by compression by hand or by simple type of plungers.Soluble solidsAs fruit mature on the tree its concentration of juice solids, which are mostly sugars, changes. The concentration of soluble solids in the juice can be estimated with arefractometer or a hydrometer液体⽐重计.Acid contentThe acid content of fruit changes with maturity and affects flavour. Acid concentration can be measured by a simple chemical titration on the fruit juice. But for many fruits the tartness and flavour are really affected by the ratio of sugar to acid. Sugar to acid ratioIn describing the taste of tartness of several fruits and fruit juices, the term "sugar to acid ratio" or "brix to acid ratio" are commonly used. The higher the brix the greater the sugar concentration in the juice; the higher the "brix to acid ratio" the sweeter and lees tart is the juice.1.9 preprocessing1.9.1 harvestingThe above and other measurements, plus experience, indicate when fruit is ready for harvesting and subsequent processing.1.9.2 reception - quality and quantity1.9.3 temporary storage before processing1.9.4 washingHarvested fruit is washed to remove soil, micro-organisms and pesticide residues.Fruit washing is a mandatory processing step; it would be wise to eliminate spoiled fruit before washing in order to avoid the pollution of washing tools and/or equipment and the contamination of fruit during washing.1.9.5 sortingFruit sorting covers two main separate processing operations:Removal of damaged fruit and any foreign bodies (which might have been left behind after washing);Qualitative sorting based on organoleptic criteria and maturity stage.Mechanical sorting for size is usually not done at the preliminary stage. The most important initial sorting is for variety and maturity.1.9.6 trimming and peeling (skin removal)This processing step aims at removing the parts of the fruit which are either not edible or difficult to digest especially the skin.Up to now the industrial peeling of fruit and vegetables was performed by three procedures: Mechanically;By using water steam;Chemically; this method consists in treating fruit and vegetables by dipping them in a caustic soda solution at a temperature of 90 to 100°c; the concentration of this solution as well asthe dipping or immersion time varying according to each specific case.1.9.7 cuttingThis step is performed according to the specific requirements of the fruit processing technology.1.9.8 blanchingA brief heat treatment to vegetables some fruits to inactivate oxidative enzyme systems such as catalase, peroxidase, polyphenoloxidase, ascorbic acid oxidase, and lipoxygenase. ?When the unblanched tissue is disrupted or bruised and exposed to air, these enzymes come in contact with substrates causing softening, discoloration, and the production of off flavors. ?It is most often standard practice to blanch fruits in order to prevent quality deterioration. ?Although the primary purpose of blanching is enzyme inactivation.There are several other benefits blanching initially cleanses the product;Decreases the microbial load,Preheats the product before processing.Softens the fruit, facilitates compact packing in the can.Expell intercellular gases in the raw fruitImproved heat transfer during heat processing.Water blanching is generally of the immersion type or spray type as the product moves on a conveyor.Steam blanching often involves belt or chain conveyors upon which the product moves through a tunnel containing live steam.adequacy of blanching is usually based on inactivation of one of the heat resistant enzymes (peroxidase or polyphenol oxidase).During the blanching process, it is imperative that certain enzymes that have the potential to cause flavour and textural changes be inactiviated. The process involves a brief heattreatment applied to most vegetables and also to some fruits in order to inactivate oxidative enzyme system such as catalase, peroxidase, polyphenoloxidase,ascorbic acid oxidase, and lipoxygenase.When unblanched tissue is disrupted or bruised and exposed to air,these enzymes come in contact with substrate causing softening,discoloration, and the production of off-flavours.Since this action can potentially occur during the period prior to heat processing, it is most often standard practice to blanch fruits in order to prevent quality deterioration.1.9.9 ascorbic/citric acid dipAscorbic acid or vitamin c minimises fruit oxidation primarily by acting as an antioxidant and itself becoming oxidised in preference to catechol⼉茶酚-tannin compounds.It has been found that increased acidity also helps retard oxidative colour changes and so ascorbic acid plus citric acid may be used together. Citric acid further reacts with (chelates) metal ions thus removing these catalysts of oxidation from the system.1.9.10 sulphur dioxide treatmentSulphur dioxide may function in several ways:Sulphur dioxide is an enzyme poison against common oxidising enzymes;It also has antioxidant properties; i.e., it is an oxygen acceptor (as is ascorbic acid);Further so2 minimises non enzymatic maillard type browning by reacting with aldehyde醛groups of sugars so that they are no longer free to combine with amino acids;Sulphur dioxide also interferes with microbial growth.In many fruit processing pre-treatments two factors must be considered:Sulphur dioxide must be given time to penetrate the fruit tissues;So2 must not be used in excess because it has a characteristic unpleasant taste and odour, and international food laws limit the so2 content of fruit products, especially of those which are consumer oriented (e.g. Except semi-processed products oriented to further industrial utilisation).5.2.11 sugar syrupSugar syrup addition is one of the oldest methods of minimising oxidation.Sugar syrup minimises oxidation by coating the fruit and thereby preventing contact withatmospheric oxygen.Sugar syrup also offers some protection against loss of volatile 挥发性的fruit esters 酯and itcontributes sweet taste to otherwise tart fruits.It is common today to dissolve ascorbic acid and citric acid in the sugar syrup for addedeffect or to include sugar syrup after an so 2 treatment.QuestionsWhat factors influence the quality of fruits after harvest?How to maintain the fruit in good quality before the processing begin?第⼀节果蔬原料特性新鲜果蔬原料的特点 ? 果蔬原料的化学成分原料的化学成分与加⼯的关系1.新鲜果蔬原料的特点易腐性、季节性、区域性2.果蔬中的化学成分(chemical composition in fruits and vegetables )3.化学成分与加⼯的关系(relation between chemical composition and processing )3.1 ⽔分(water)果蔬中⽔的含量:⼤多数在80%以上,含⽔量⾼的如冬⽠(wax gourd)可达96%以上。

In today's fast-paced world, managing a household efficiently requires careful planning, especially when it comes to meal preparation. Developing a family menu not only ensures balanced nutrition but also saves time and money. Let's explore the steps involved in creating a family menu.Firstly, it's essential to consider the dietary needs and preferences of every family member. This includes any allergies, dietary restrictions, or food preferences. By understanding these requirements, we can tailor our menu to accommodate everyone's needs while still offering a variety of delicious options.Next, take inventory of what ingredients are already available in the pantry, refrigerator, and freezer. This step helps in minimizing waste and utilizing ingredientsthat may be nearing their expiration dates. It also serves as inspiration for meal ideas based on what ingredients are readily accessible.Once we have a clear understanding of our family's dietary needs and available ingredients, it's time to brainstorm meal ideas. A good approach is to plan meals for the entire week, taking into account breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Variety is key here to prevent meal fatigue and ensure everyone looks forward to mealtimes.When selecting recipes, consider factors such as cooking time, complexity, and nutritional value. Opt for recipes that are easy to prepare on busy days and reserve more elaborate dishes for weekends or special occasions. Additionally, aim for a balance of proteins, carbohydrates, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats in each meal.After finalizing the meal plan for the week, create a shopping list based on the ingredients needed for each recipe. Organize the list by food categories to streamline the shopping process and minimize the chances of forgettingessential items. Remember to check for any staples that need replenishing, such as rice, pasta, spices, and condiments.When shopping for groceries, stick to the list as much as possible to avoid impulse purchases. Consider shopping at local markets or buying in bulk to save money,especially on items with longer shelf lives. Don't forget to check for any sales or discounts that can furtherstretch your budget.Once the groceries are purchased and brought home, it's time to prepare for the week ahead. Consider doing some meal prep in advance, such as chopping vegetables, marinating meats, or cooking grains. This not only saves time during busy weekdays but also encourages healthier eating habits by having nutritious ingredients readily available.Throughout the week, stay flexible with the menu plan and be open to making adjustments as needed. Life can be unpredictable, and there may be occasions when plans changeor unexpected events arise. Having a flexible attitude towards meal planning helps in adapting to these situations without causing undue stress.In conclusion, creating a family menu requires careful consideration of dietary needs, available ingredients, and meal preferences. By following a systematic approach, we can develop a menu that is nutritious, budget-friendly, and enjoyable for the entire family. With proper planning and organization, mealtime can become a stress-free and rewarding experience for everyone involved.。

parameterizations used in our method.(a)Texture and model.(b)Floater’s shape preserving parameterization [6]is used as an initial mesh parameterization.(c)After a single optimization pass.(d)Our optimal low-stretch parameterization.AbstractWe propose a fast and simple method for generating a low-stretch mesh parameterization.Given a triangle mesh,we start from the Floater shape preserving parameterization and then im-prove the parameterization gradually.At each improvement step,we optimize the parameterization generated at the previous step by minimizing a weighted quadratic energy where the weights are chosen in order to minimize the parameterization stretch.This op-timization procedure does not generate triangle flips if the bound-ary of the parameter domain is a convex polygon.Moreover al-ready the first optimization step produces a high-quality mesh pa-rameterization.We compare our parameterization procedure with several state-of-art mesh parameterization methods and demon-strate its speed and high efficiency in parameterizing large and geometrically complex models.Keywords:mesh parameterization,stretch minimization,remesh-ing1IntroductionSurface parameterization consists of a surface decompo-sition into a set of patches,also referred to as an atlas of charts,and establishing one-to-one mappings between the patches and reference domains.Numerous applications of surface parameterization in computer graphics and geomet-ric modeling include texture mapping,shape morphing,sur-face reconstruction and repairing,and grid generation.In this paper,we deal with a planar parameterization for a triangle mesh approximating a smooth surface,a bijective mapping between the mesh and a triangulation of a planar polygon.An excellent survey of recent advances in mesh parameterization is given in [7],see also references therein.While various algorithms are developed for mesh param-eterization approaches based on solid mathematical the-ories (e.g.,conformal mappings),effective computational schemes for generating practically important low-stretch mesh parameterizations [15]have not yet been proposed.Consider a surface topologically equiva-lent to a disk and given parametrically by.The Jacobian matrix correspond-ing to the mapping is given by.The Jacobian determines all the first-order geometric proper-ties of the parameterization ,including the area,an-gle,and length distortions caused by the mapping .Denote by and the maximal and minimal singular values of .Consider the first fundamental form of :where ,,and .Then andare the eigenvalues of the metric tensor1It is convenient to use and for measuring various prop-erties of.For example,if,the parame-terization is conformal and mapping preservesangles.Since the conformal mappings are well understood math-ematically,discrete approximations of conformal mappingsare widely used for mesh parameterization purposes[9,10,4,8].However conformal mappings often produce highstretch regions where texture mappings have severe under-sampling artifacts.It is natural to measure the local stretch of mappingbycharacterizes the stretch of mapping.For each vertex in the parameter domain let us defineits stretch bywhere denotes the area of triangle and the sums are taken over all triangles surrounding mesh vertex corresponding to.Our method to build a low stretch mesh parameteriza-tion consists of several steps.First we construct an initial mesh parameterization using the Floater approach[6]:the boundary vertices of mesh are mapped into the boundary vertices of which form a polygon in the parameter plane and for each inner vertex of its corresponding vertex inside the polygon is selected such that the fol-lowing local quadratic energy(2)achieves its minimal value.Here are vertices corre-sponding to the mesh one-link neighbors of and are positive weights.Now the optimal positions for are found by solving a sparse system of linear equations(3)This computationally simple procedure produces a valid pa-rameterization of mesh and avoids triangleflips if the boundary of is a convex polygon[6].Now let us estimate local stretch for each inner vertex in the parametric plane.We redistribute the local stretches by assigning(4) in(2).The new positions of are now found by solving (3).We can think about vertices and corresponding en-ergies(2)in terms of a mass-spring system.For an area pre-serving parameterization,if a high(low)stretch is observed at,that is(),we relax(strengthen)the springs connected with by solving(3)with new weights (4).It works similarly for a general parameterization.Our idea to diffuse the local stretches iteratively by(1), (3),(4)can resemble the relaxation approach of Balmelli et al.[2].Notice however that in[2]the authors use a gradient-descent minimization approach(an explicit mesh evolution scheme)while our method is similar to quasi-Newton type minimization algorithms and an implicit mesh evolution scheme is used.One can alsofind a similarity between(2),(4)and Winslow’s variable diffusion method[18,3]for adaptive grid generation(see also[17]for a comprehensive analysis of numerical methods used to minimize Winslow’s variable diffusion functional).We start from the shape preserving parameterization of Floater[6,6]and then improve it gradually:is obtained from by solving (3)with weights defined byHere are the shape preserving weights proposed by Floater.The boundary vertices of the evolving mesh,,remainfixed.When solving(3)withnumerically we use as the initial guess for the numerical solver we employ.We use the stretch metric of Sander et al.[15]where the sums are taken over all the edges of meshes and.The angle distortion error is defined byEck et al.harmonic map[5]Floater’s shape preserving parameterization[6,6]Desbrun et al.intrinsic parameterization[4]Sander et al.stretch minimizing parameterization[15]Our single-step parameterizationOur optimal parameterizationThe subindex h in()in the bottom row of the above table shows the total number of optimization steps(3),(4) needed to generate.Tables1-12and Figures3and6present qualitative and visual comparisons of the above mesh parameterization schemes tested on various models topologically equivalent to a disk.The unit square is used as the parameter domain and for each models its the boundary vertices arefixed on the boundary of the square.The errors and computational times measured in seconds(s)and sometimes in minutes (m)and hours(h)are given.For the intrinsic parameterization method[4],we use the equal blending of the Dirichlet and Authalic energies for all the models,except for the Fish model(Table11)where we use only the Dirichlet energy in order to avoid triangleflips.Our single-step mesh parameterization procedure(gen-erating)is only slightly slower than the fast Floater and Eck et al.parameterization methods and faster than the in-trinsic parameterization of Desbrun et al.[4].Besides demonstrates competitive results in minimizing the stretch, edge,area,and angle distortions.Our optimal mesh parameterization procedure is also fast enough and sometimes achieves better results in stretch minimizing than the probabilistic minimization of Sander et al.[15]which is very slow.Moreover,by contrast with [15],does not generate parameter cracks(see Fig.6) because(3)acts like a diffusion process.Besides,if a very low stretch parameterization is needed,can be used as an initial parameterization for[15].Fig.7shows parameterization of the Mannequin Head model when the parameter domain has boundaries of various shapes.The left images show the parameteri-zation and corresponding texture mapping results when the boundary is the unit circle.The right images demonstrate similar results when the boundary of the parameter domain was obtained as the so-called natural boundary for the con-formal parameterization of[4].Notice that the stretch dis-tortions near the boundary are substantially reduced in the latter case.In Fig.8mesh parameterizations,,and are evaluated and compared using the checkerboard texture.Sometimes does not produce the best visual result be-cause of high anisotropy and is preferable.Finally,in Fig.9we analyze how the stretch distribution over a com-plex geometry model is changing during the optimization process.The top row of images presents the model(a decimated Max-Planck bust model)and re-sults of checkerboard texture mapping with,,and .The four remaining images of the model show the stretch distribution over the model for,,andparameterizations.The images demonstrate how well our stretch minimization procedures minimize and equalize the stretch.It is interesting to notice that near the mesh bound-ary the optimized meshes have large area and angle dis-tortions(the same effect is observed in all the other tested models)but relatively low stretch distortions.One can hope that an appropriate relaxation of boundary conditions will reduce those area and angle distortions while maintaining low stretch.Application to remeshing.In the right column of Fig.3 and in Fig.5we demonstrate how our mesh parameteriza-tion technique can be used for fast and high quality remesh-ing of complex surfaces.We have chosen the interactive geometry remeshing scheme of Alliez et al.[1]and imple-mented its main steps:1.Create a mesh parameterization.pute area,curvature,and control maps using hard-ware accelerated OpenGL commands.3.Sample points by applying an error diffusion to thecontrol map.4.Connect the points using the Delaunay triangulation.e the parameterization to map the points into3D.A conformal mesh parameterization is the best choice forthe described remeshing scheme.It is clear that the remeshing quality depends on the size of an image used for the hardware assisted acceleration:the bigger size,the better result.On the other side,the image size is restricted by the graphics card memory.It turns out that a high quality remeshing can be obtained even for a rel-atively small image size.Let us assume that we have two parameterizations of a3D mesh:a conformal parameter-4ization and an area-preserving one.Then let us the area-preserving parameterization for computing the control map and resampling the points via an error diffusion process.Fi-nally,the points are mapped from the area-preserving pa-rameterization to the conformal one and are connected us-ing the Delaunay triangulation.The above remeshing modification has one drawback:it requires two parameterizations,conformal and area-preserving.However since our low-stretch parameteriza-tion has nice area-preserving properties and the ini-tial Floater’s parameterization is close to a conformal one,we use and instead of the conformal and area-preserving parameterizations in the above modification of the interactive geometry remeshing scheme of Alliez et al.Right images(a)-(c)of Fig.3demonstrate results of thesingle-parameterization remeshing scheme if the discreteharmonic map parameterization[5],Floater’s shape pre-serving parameterization[6],and intrinsic discrete confor-mal parameterization are used,respectively.Right images(d)-(f)of Fig.3present our experiments with the double-parameterization remeshing scheme.We set Floater’s pa-rameterization as a substitute of a conformal param-eterization and used as an initial parameterization togenerate the stretch-minimizing parameterization of Sanderet al.[15]and and.These low-stretch parame-terizations were used as substitutes of an area-preservingparameterization.Fig.5presents remeshed Max-Planckbust and Stanford bunny models obtained by the remeshing schemes based on(from left to right),,and parameterizations(here using param-eterizations means that we use as a substitute of a con-formal parameterization and as a substitute of an areapreserving one).Notice that the double-parameterizationremeshing scheme with produces the best re-sults.4ConclusionWe have presented a fast and powerful method for gen-erating low-stretch mesh parameterizations and demon-strate its applicability to high quality texture mapping and remeshing.Our method is much faster than the stochas-tic stretch minimization procedure of Sander et al.[15] (note that their more recent coarse-to-fine stretch optimiza-tion procedure[14]is significantly faster than that of[15] but still slower than ours)and often produces better quality results.In particular,it does not generate parameter cracks.Our method is heuristic.At present we are not able to support it by rigorous mathematical results.In future we plan to extend our approach to sphericalparameterizations and use quadratic energies with matrix weights for incorporating an anisotropy in our optimization process.AcknowledgmentsThe authors would like to thank Hugues Hoppe for a helpful discussion and the
