Abstract:
... Black orthorhombic (B-γ) CsSnI₃ with reduced biotoxicity and environmental impact and excellent optoelectronic properties is being considered as a promising eco-friendly candidate for high-performing perovskite solar cells (PSCs). A major challenge in a large-scale implementation of CsSnI₃ PSCs includes the rapid transformation of Sn²⁺ to Sn⁴⁺ (within a few minutes) under an ambient-air condition. ...

Abstract:
... The determination of functional C1-INH is complex and depends on methodology, sample transport, and storage conditions. In clinical practice, we encounter individuals with pathological values which then cannot be proved true, and HAE patients in whom the values were wrongly found to be normal under non-optimum conditions. We aimed to test realistic real-life sample processing conditions for accura ...
... The fatty acid composition, triacylglycerol (TAG) profile, tocopherols, and oxidative stability of camelina and sophia seed oils, in the dark and under light, were evaluated. The significance of minor components to the stability of the oils was also examined upon their removal from the oil. A recently developed novel stripping method was employed for this purpose. Storage in the dark and under lig ...

Abstract:
... Garlic extract (GE) was encapsulated into the matrices of two types of multilayer walls composed of whey protein isolate (WPI)/chitosan (CH)/polydextrose (POL) and gum Arabic (GA)/CH/POL. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) indicated that the compounds of GE were encapsulated within the matrices of the wall materials by physical interactions. The water adsorption isotherms of the powder ...
... In this study we investigated the meat quality characteristics, bioactive compound content, and antioxidant activities during cold storage (at 4 °C) of beef loin (n = 70) and round (n = 42) for 19 days. Subsequently, we estimated the correlation between the levels of the bioactive compounds and the quality traits. The beef quality degraded with time, with an increase in aerobic plate counts (APC) ...

Abstract:
... Diagnosis of carbon monoxide (CO) poisonings has always been a challenging task due to the susceptibility to alterations of the optical state and degradation of blood samples during sampling, transport and storage, which highly affects the analysis with spectrophotometric methods. Methodological improvements are then required urgently because of increased reports of cases with discrepancies betwee ...

Abstract:
... This study presents the sensitivity analysis of Ellis and Roberts (1980a, 1980b) viability model as this is derived from the contribution of moisture content, seed temperature and time step variables. The analysis revealed significant increase in sensitivity of viability regarding the time variable for Δt<72min which is often adopted in computational modelling. For Δt>720min, the moisture content ...

Abstract:
... In biodiesel, long chain methyl esters crystallize at very low temperatures, forming paraffin crystals that clump together and clog fuel filters, preventing engine operation. When the fuel is at high temperatures and in the presence of oxygen from the air, chemical changes may occur, forming insoluble compounds in the fuel itself. This work followed the evolution of deposits and enhancers formatio ...

Abstract:
... In this work, intelligent algorithms and fluorescent measurements have been integrated into a portable system to evaluate the storage conditions and detect adulterations of wines such as water and ethanol. More than 700 spectra derived from the analysis of three types of either large-scale or artisanal Muscatel wines of European origin (French and Russian) were collected. Different sets of indepen ...

Abstract:
... Solidified natural gas storage using gas hydrates is a promising technology for non-explosive, high capacity, and environmentally-friendly natural gas storage at mild storage conditions. Improvement in the kinetics of gas hydrate formation is essential for the further development of this novel technology. In this work, the use of graphite nanofluids for enhancing the CH₄ hydrate formation was inve ...

Abstract:
... The stress-dependence of the apparent density and the wall friction angle of various food powders like salt, sugar, flour, starch and protein powders were studied using a ring shear tester. The approximation of the stress-dependence of the apparent density using a power function showed a very good correlation (r² > 0.97). The two parameters of the approximation function are the apparent density at ...

Abstract:
... Hydrogen (H₂) has been considered a promising alternative to fossil fuels as a future energy source. To achieve great H₂ uptakes through physisorption, an accurate understanding of the pore sizes should be involved. Related studies have reported that micropores (<2 nm) are the most effective pores for high H₂ uptakes at 77 K and 1 bar. For clarifying the pore size effects, the relationship between ...

Abstract:
... The safe operation of the large, outflow Tailings Storage Facilities (TSF) requires comprehensive and continuous threat monitoring. One of the basic kinds of threat monitoring is to monitor the water conditions in deposited tailings, which is usually carried out using a conventional piezometric observation method from a network of installed piezometers. In complex tailings storage conditions, the ...

Abstract:
... The cooking time of beans is an important quality indicator which can change considerably during ageing. Therefore, this study investigated the potential of near-infrared spectroscopy to rapidly predict cooking times of aged common beans. Four bean varieties were aged under different storage conditions, resulting in a range of samples for each of these varieties. The cooking kinetics of the aged b ...
... Understanding movement of insects and their behavioral response in stored grain bulks helps in controlling their infestation. Studies have been conducted on insect movement; however, determination of patterns of insect distribution is quite difficult because their behavioral responses vary with species and life stages as well as with external stimuli under different storage conditions.

Abstract:
... Wood supply chain performance suffers from risks intensified by more frequent and extreme natural calamities such as windstorms, bark beetle infestations, and ice-break treetops. In order to limit further damage and wood value loss after natural calamities, high volumes of salvage wood have to be rapidly transported out of the forest. In these cases, robust decision support and coordinated managem ...
... Trissolcus japonicus (Ashmead) (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) has shown promise as a biological control agent for the invasive agricultural and nuisance pest, Halyomorpha halys (Stål) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae). In addition to the need for laboratory research colonies, the possibility for rearing T. japonicus for classical or augmentative releases necessitates investigation into efficient rearing proto ...
