Ananas comosus (L.) Merr is one of many commercially popular fruits in the cannery food
industry that contributes to the increasingly mounting agro-industrial waste. Â In this study, Â
a fourâˆ'factorâˆ'threeâˆ'level Boxâˆ'Behnken design (BBD) that comprised of sonication
time (A), solvent ratio (B), amplitude (C) and liquidâˆ'solid ratio (D) for the
ultrasoundâˆ'assisted extraction (UAE) of pineapple peels (PP) was utilized to optimize the
yield of total phenolic content (TPC). Under an optimized UAE condition [5 min; 50% of …

Several methods can be used to model pavement structures, namely multilayered elastic
theory (MET), finite element method (FEM), or finite difference method (FDM). In this study,
three computer programs, KENLAYER and EVERSTRESS 5.0 which are based on MET,
and ANSYS, representing the FEM, are used in Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) test on
a pavement structure to determine deflection basin. The deflection basin was developed by
using the results of vertical deflection from each sensor of an FWD test. In this study, a …
