Instrumental and Sensory Analysis of the Properties of Traditional Chinese Fried Fritters by Daming Fan, Bowen Yan, Huizhang Lian, Jianxin Zhao, Hao Zhang

“…Significant correlations were found using principle component analysis. Volume, fat, texture, palatability, and instrumental parameters (hardness, fracturability, springiness, and gumminess) were found to be the main factors influencing the quality of Chinese fried fritters by principal component analysis (PCA) and instrumental methods, which were satisfactory replacement for human evaluation in correlation testing.…”

Analysis of the structural integrity of a frozen wall during a mine shaft excavation using temperature monitoring data by Lev Levin, Mikhail Semin, Ivan Golovatyi

“…The data on temperature measurements in control-thermal boreholes were used to parameterize the mathematical model of heat transfer, which allowed for the reconstruction of the temperature field throughout the entire cooled and frozen soil volume. The resulting temperature distribution in the FW zone for greater than 1 year was used to determine the distribution of the strength properties and calculate the temporary change in the limiting value of the external lateral load on an FW of a given thickness and specified thermomechanical properties. …”
