Statistical Analysis For each analytical procedure, attempted coating were performed in triplicate and data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD) while the comparison among groups was performed by the analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by the Tukey test to assess significances among measurements.
Results demonstrated that the application of the optimized coating procedure, permits to extend the shelf-life of fresh-cut pineapple until 15 days and to replace conventional PVC based cases with a consequent reduction in time and costs and supporting ecofriendly procedures.

In addition, the increase of Os content leads to an increase of the average crystal size of Os/N-TiO2 films, from 17 nm to 59 nm based on anatase (101) data, which is in accordance with the SEM observation.
Additionally, the more introduction of Os metal impurity can accelerate the anatase to rutile phase transformation (ART), thus leading to the reduction in photocatalytic activity.

Self-Piercing Riveting Self-piercing riveting (SPR) mentioned in DIN 8593-5 is of particular interest for joining of two or more sheet metals with auxiliary joining element, due to the reduction of thermal input.
Fig 4: a) Experimental setup for quaistatic tensile test, b) experimental setup for compression test and c) experimental data and extrapolated flow curves for aluminium alloy EN AW-6014, T4 and rivet material 38B2, hardness H4 For the numerical investigation, a standard C-rivet (see Fig 5, a) was compared with two new rivet concepts, which are designed to increase the versatility of the SPR-process.

The experimental data reflected the crosses in Figure 5 support the conclusions of the theory.

According to the data reported by Li et al [6], the conductivity of cold-sprayed Cu varies greatly in different directions and the anisotropy is obvious.
The positive effect is attributed to the healing of non-bonded ineterfaces and the reduction of grain boundary arising from the grain growth.

On the other hand, Zr doped sample exhibited different microstructural features (Fig. 2b), since gradual reduction of substrate elements in BC is seen.
However, the examination of Zr doped BCs showed no stresses (see Fig. 2b), wherein linearity of the curve and large scatter in data points is indicative of absence of stresses.

High expansion rates are possible as the softness of the material under thermal input allows it to be reshaped to the surrounding tubular or to the surrounding open hole from a smaller size during run in and to effectively retain a sealed configuration after getting stiff on reduction in its core temperature while longitudinally compressed.
The device, as shown in Fig. 6, should be able to access pore systems, move through the pores, assess pore content and be able to store and transmit data relating to fluid flow and reservoir properties such as temperature, pressure, viscosity, relative permeability, pore throat size, porosity, permeability, etc.

Some of them like PCA and ICA resort to reduction in data dimensionality, which may lead to loss of significant information.

However, it should be noted that if the fibre volume fraction becomes too high then, accordingly, the matrix volume fraction will become too low, leading to a reduction in the amount of matrix surrounding the fibres and decreased structural integrity of the composite.

It was proposed that silanol-water-silanol bonds (source of interlayer cohesion) are replaced by SiO-—Ca2+—SiO- bonds when C/S ratio increases causing a reduction in the interlayer space.
The data are then analyzed by deconvoluting the discrete experimental distribution values P(x) of the mechanical properties x = (H, M) by the sum of n theoretical probability distribution functions pJ, one for each mechanically distinct phase [11]: (2) where μJ and sJ are the mean and standard deviation of x = (M, H, TF) of the phase J = 1,n; fJ is the volume fraction of the phase composing the heterogeneous material; P(xi) is the measured value of the normalized frequency; wx=1/3 is a weight coefficient; m is the number of intervals (bins) by which the problem is discretized; and pJ is the value of the theoretical probability density function of the single phase, which is assumed to be a normal distribution , where μJ and sJ(H) represent the mean and standard deviation, respectively.
