Emergent Properties Every living organism is composed of one or more cells. Each of these individual cells serves their own purpose. However‚ they are structured to work together to perform a function. Emergent properties are the properties in which components of a system that is working together has‚ yet when the components are broken down individually‚ they are lacking these properties. Examples of emergent properties include the human brain and ant colonies. An emergent property of the brain

THERMOPHYSICAL‚ AND RHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF FRUITS AND FRUIT PRODUCTS 4.1. INTRODUCTION Most processed and many freshly consumed fruits receive some type of heating or cooling during handling or manufacturing. Design and operation of processes involving heat transfer needs special attention due to heat sensitivity of fruits. Both theoretical and empirical relationships used when designing‚ or operating‚ heat processes need knowledge of the thermal properties of the foods under consideration

Properties of Water Introduction: Water’s chemical description is H2O. As the diagram to the left shows‚ that is one atom of oxygen bound to two atoms of hydrogen. The hydrogen atoms are "attached" to one side of the oxygen atom‚ resulting in a water molecule having a positive charge on the side where the hydrogen atoms are and a negative charge on the other side‚ where the oxygen atom is. This uneven distribution of charge is called polarity. Since opposite electrical charges attract‚ water
