Results and Discussion 3.1 Composition of wheat starch granules The composition of starches and their separated A- and B- granules of two varieties are shown in Table 1. Amylose content of starches lies between 16.96 -24.69. The B-granules of the both varieties showed the lower value of amylose content while A- granules attributed to the high amylopectin to amylose ratio. Swelling power results the ability of starch to hydrate in specific cooking and heating process (90 °C/ 30 min.). The…

I chose the Indian Pueblo Cultural Centre because it is a great place for non Native Americans to go and learn about the history and view some of the culture belonging to Natives with having to go and get permission to visit a reservation and sit in on their culture. This culture is different from my own because, looking at my cultural background, I come from a plethora of European countries.

State of Science The idea that environmental factors influence on ageing is not new and it has been considered by environmental gerontologists since 1970s (Lawton & Nahemow, 1973). However, the idea is drawn attention a decade ago under the name of age-friendly environment. A key driver of this movements toward age-friendly environment is the Global Age-Friendly Cities project by WHO. This initiative has been focused on urban areas (WHO, 2007) and there is another trend of age-friendly…

1. What is service quality? Service quality is a comparison and assessment between the customer’s expectation and the service delivered by the service providers. Parasuraman et al. (1988) have defined that service quality is an overall judgment towards the service and as an antecedent of overall customer satisfaction.

Presently, American public education in the science classroom at the K-12 level is suffering criticism due to low student performance, which falls below the standards of global competitors. Such low student performance may be attributed the current lack of integrated real world technology into the science classroom. Therefore, in effort to improve the quality of science instruction and student performance, public education needs to implement additive manufacturing technology as a means to foster…

Introduction Cigarette smoking maximises the risk of numerous types of cancers, stroke, heart disease and various other medical conditions, for both active and passive smokers. It continues to be the most significant health risk behaviour to cause of death all over the world (World Health Organisation, as cited in Smerecnik, van Schooten, van Schayck, de Vries, & Quaak, 2011) Although the risks of cigarette smoking are well-known and there is an abundance of intervention programmes aimed to aid…

Social media networks are online communities of people where interests, issues, and activities are shared and the content is generated by the users and their interactions. Typically, most people use social media networks to maintain contact with their friends (e.g. Facebook), former colleagues and possibly to forge new connections, such as LinkedIn, or in the case of this thesis project, by shared opinions about experiences at hotels (Miguns, Baggio, & Costa, 2008). TripAdvisor is the go-to…
