Abstract:
... Food personalization and customization is now easier due to 3D printing, but the printing performance of gluten-free cereal material has hardly been explored. This research investigated the suitability of four gluten-free powder blends for snack 3D printing. The blends were analyzed for their powder properties, and a selected blend served as a model to optimize median particle size (20.9; 155.4; 2 ...

Based on the online and membrane sampling data of Yuncheng from January 1st to February 12th, 2020, the formation mechanism of haze under the dual influence of Spring Festival and COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease) was analyzed. Atmospheric capacity, chemical composition, secondary transformation, source apportionment, backward trajectory, pollution space and enterprise distribution were studied. Low ...
... Apocynum venetum L. flowers are the source of beverage and primary nectar with potential industrial value but have received less attention. This study aimed to investigate its processing, chemical characterization and quality evaluation of the potential antidiabetic activity. Compared with heat reflux extraction, the ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) method had the advantages of low cost and hi ...
... Herein, amino-functionalized multilayer titanium carbide (NH₂-Ti₃C₂Tₓ) was developed and applied to electrochemical sensor for simultaneous determination of Cd²⁺ and Pb²⁺. The NH₂-Ti₃C₂Tₓ was prepared by grafting (3-amino-propyl) triethylsilane (APTES) onto the surface of Ti₃C₂Tₓ. Its morphology, crystal structure and chemical composition were characterized by field emission scanning electron micr ...

... Social wasps build their nests using plant material and can thereby occupy different types of habitats. The organization of their colonies is generally based on complex communication systems that include chemical compounds of the cuticle that are shared with the material of their nests thus contributing to the specific chemical signature of their colony. These compounds can vary by environmental f ...
... Chemical composition and architecture are two key factors that control the physical and material properties of polymers. Some of the more unusual and intriguing polymer architectures are the polycatenanes, which are a class of polymers that contain mechanically interlocked rings. Since the development of high yielding synthetic routes to catenanes, there has been an interest in accessing their pol ...
... The article presents the results of geochemical studies of Lake Onego. The chemical composition of the water was investigated, the uneven distribution of elements (Fe, Mn, Al, Cu, Zn, and Cr) and the forms of their migration along the lake water area were revealed. It is shown that the suspended form of metals prevails in bays exposed to an anthropogenic load. The study of the chemical composition ...

Abstract:
... Basalts are ubiquitous, mantle-derived mafic rocks found within all tectonic settings. Studying the chemical composition of basalts has proven to be an effective way to understand tectonics-related mantle processes for more recent periods of Earth history when other geological and tectonic records are still well preserved. However, using basalt geochemistry to decipher ancient tectonic environment ...
