2008 Analysis of the Geometry of Drilled Holes in Demolition ...

the height and width of the area bounded by the crack and the width of the crack
were obtained through evaluation of their pixel size. The pixel size was then
converted into meters. The experimental dimensions were converted from image
dimensions with the focal length at 0.2354.meters and then, compared to the real
dimensions of the stimulated crack. The results show that the percent errors were
ranging from 0.1% to 1.22%. For future improvement of the study, the method
may be tested using different angles of the image shot so that the method could
be applied to cracks with higher or lower altitude. A distance-measuring laser may
also be used to obtain the camera’s distance from the crack, as well as the depth
of the crack.

Production of Kropeck from Malunggay (Moringa oleifera)
and Squash (Cucurbita maxima)
Victor Louis E. Crisostomo
ABSTRACT
This research aimed to incorporate vegetable extracts from malunggay
(Moringa oleifera) and squash (Cucurbita sp.) into a recipe for kropeck, and aside
from testing its palatability and acceptability to the general public, to produce a
nutritious snack to take the place of chicharon and other foodstuffs that are not
nutritious.
A formulation of kropeck, made from cassava flour and shrimp, and mixed
with osterized vegetable juice, is made and adjusted to match the quality of
commercially available brands. Samples of the finished product were taken and
presented to a panel of people for sensory evaluation testing, and the products
were compared against a locally available market brand.
Test results showed a higher acceptability rate for the market brand than
for the home-made brand, an occurrence that is likely to be attributed to the
method of production and quality checking done at the manufacturing factory and
other similar places.
Due to time constraints, some factors such as nutrition content were not
analyzed.
