Curing ham is essentially a process of checking the growth of spoilage bacteria by the application of curing agents; and, until such agents are sufficiently concentrated to protect the centre of the ham, the meat must be kept at a low temperature.
The mechanical properties and durability of EAC are improved due to the increase of hydration degree and formation of new products such as CaSiO3 by application of curing agent.
The powerful and pervasive influence of water on the performance of Portland cement concrete begins with the removal of water from either moist or wet raw cement feed and ends with application of curing water.
Thermal gravimetry (TG) analysis was applied to measure the thermal stability of these microcapsules and surface morphology of the microcapsules was observed by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) after an application of curing treatment at 130 °C.
In the application of the cure survival CART with exponential distribution, based on the average of 500 replications, the minimum cross-validated deviance residual was R cv (γ k *) = 1.753 (SE = 0.083), and the corresponding tree was quite large.
However, in the application of Cox cure regression to real data, before the formal analysis, an assessment of whether or not the length of follow-up is sufficient would be useful for interpreting the result.
It was also noted that 3 days of wet burlap curing prior to the application of a curing compound was necessary for the OPC concrete while 7 days of wet burlap curing is required for the silica fume cement concrete.
The effect of curing regime, namely water ponding and application of a curing compound, was also evaluated.
It was also noted that a longer curing period, prior to the application of a curing compound, is beneficial to OPC, SF, FA, and VFFA cement concretes.
Heat treatment however is crucial when using geopolymer materials, to provide comparable mechanical properties to conventional concrete, and there are a number of practical limitations in the application of heat curing in large-scale structures.
The application of thermal curing further densifies UHPC, which results in higher compressive strength properties.
