The overall objective of the research was to evaluate the performance of the vacuum fryer developed by the Center for Agricultural Machinery Development in Indonesia. The specific research objectives were to evaluate the effect of frying condition including pretreatment of raw material, frying temperature and frying pressure on product quality (percentage of oil content, percentage of sugar content, color, and crispness); to assess performance of vacuum fryer; and to assess economic feasibility of vacuum fryer.Recommendation for frying condition to produce the best jackfruit chips was blanching in 80oC for 10 minutes and then soaking in 0.5% CaCl2 solution for 30 minutes, and then frying at 75oC and 650 mmHg. Recommendation for frying condition to produce the best banana chips was soaking in 0.5% CaCl2 solution for 30 minutes, and then frying at 75oC and 650 mmHg.

Published literature about Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) tends to focus on the Environment Effects Statement (EES) approvals process, often overlooking post-approvals processes that are frequently established after the EES has been sanctioned. This book seeks to redress this gap in research knowledge. The book examines the post approvals, non-statutory Environmental Review Committees (ERCs) established for two mining projects located in Bendigo and Fosterville in Central Victoria, Australia. Using the qualitative method of in-depth interviews as primary data collection, the research explores the attitudes and experiences of Community Representatives and prominent observers participating in either the Bendigo or Fosterville ERC. Three main themes, together with a range of sub-themes, were coupled with published evaluative criteria and used in a recipe analogy to determine that the Bendigo and Fosterville ERCs contain both healthy and unhealthy ingredients. The book concludes by making a number of recommendations for suggested improvements to the ERC process that aim to advance the health of ERCs for the benefit of all stakeholders.

Teach Yourself Mathematics Series are designed to simplify the teaching and learning of Mathematics in our School System. The volume one of the series is widely read and appreciated by students and teachers of Mathematics. It has been described as a veritable tool for the study of Mathematics. The volume two has been introduced to accommodate other topics required at the Senior Secondary School level. Some of the new topics are Calculus, Mathematics of Finance, Modular Arithmetic, Logic, Permutation, Combination etc. The book has been structured to enhance proper understanding of the topics by students and teachers. I therefore welcome you again to this interesting world of Teach Yourself Mathematics Series. The book is recommended for students preparing for Senior Secondary School Certificate Examinations, University Entrance Examinations, Colleges of Education students and for Pre-University study.
