... for the analysis of cannabinoids in bio-matrices are continually improved to achieve best possible sensitivity in their detection and accurate quantification. It has been well documented that CBD cyclizes to Δ9-THC and Δ9-THC isomerizes to Δ8-THC under acidic conditions by means of a Lewis-acid-catalyzed process, causing difficulty in accurate quantification of Δ9-THC in the presence of CBD, of CB ...
... Under the continuing influence of global warming, resolving the inconsistency of permafrost degradation rates and quantifying the spatial distribution characteristics are critical for high-altitude water cycle processes. The dynamics of permafrost degradation are mainly manifested in soil temperature, which can be measured with high accuracy and high temporal resolution. This study considered the ...

Abstract:
... Although progress with twisted graphene nano-devices is boosting the superconductivity that is the consequence of their Moiré flat electronic bands, the immense choice for future development is an obstacle for their optimisation. We report here that soft-chemistry deintercalation of KC8 breaks down graphite stacking generating a strong disorder that includes stacking twists and variable local dopi ...

Abstract:
... Most of the existing district heating systems are second and third generation and operate with supply temperature above 80–100 °C. To meet long-term decarbonization targets, existing networks should be transformed into low-temperature systems in a cost-effective manner. This paper presents a critical review on the strategies that can be adopted to reduce the supply temperature in existing district ...

Abstract:
... Parameter estimation from thermal response tests (TRTs) becomes unreliable when testing time reduces or the number of estimated parameters increases because of low identifiability and ill-posed mathematical feature. To overcome this challenge, this paper reports an inversion algorithm integrating a short-time temperature response model and the zero-order Tikhonov regularization strategy. We applie ...

These carrageenans are identified by one sulfate group on the 3,6-anhydro-D-galactose (DA) for α-Car, D-galactose (G) for κ-Car and on both carrabiose moieties (G and DA) for ι-Car. The viscosity and temperature, where order-disorder transiti ...

Abstract:
... Rhamnogalacturonan type I (RG-I) is one of the pectin family member abundant in plant cell walls. Process of RG-I extraction from cell walls, either as a one-step or several-stage process, conditions the structure and properties of obtained polysaccharides. In this paper, we provide comprehensive overview of the factors related to the source and extraction techniques that determine the yield and c ...

Abstract:
... To develop high-performance microwave absorbing materials, a heterogeneous NiSe₂–FeSe@NC double-shelled hollow nanorods (NiSe₂–FeSe@NC DSHNs) is constructed based on the strategies of morphology structure optimization and multicomponent recombination. First, NiSe₂–FeSe DSHNs are prepared through the cation exchange of Fe-based MOFs and subsequent selenization process. After that, the surface is co ...

Red-colored high-pressure, high-temperature synthesized (HPHT) diamond was exposed in its bulk in a number of patterns to millions of 0.3-ps, 515-nm laser pulses focused by a 0.25-NA micro-objective. The resulting arrays of bright micrometer-scale spots produced at variable laser exposure and pulse energy was characterized by optical transmission microspectroscopy, room-temperature dynamic and sta ...

Abstract:
... Thermal stabilities of lycopene and β-carotene in tomato pulp and pink grapefruit juice were studied at 80, 95 and 110 °C. Lycopene and β-carotene degradations in both products followed to first-order reaction kinetics, but biphasic curves were obtained for β-carotene degradation. Stabilities of both pigments are highly affected by processing temperatures. For example, t₁/₂ values for lycopene deg ...

An advanced cost-saving method of removal of high-As(III) from SO₄(-II)-rich metallurgical wastewater has been developed by diluting the SO₄(-II) content with As(III)-Cl(-I)-rich metallurgical wastewater and then by the direct precipitation of As(III) with Fe(III) at pH 2.3. As(III) removal at various SO₄(-II)/Cl(-I) molar ratios and temperatures was investigated. The results showed that 65.2‒98.2 ...

Abstract:
... Cylindrical containers are commonly used in microwave food processing applications. However, due to the shape effect, microwave energy mainly focuses in the center of the sample within the container, leading to a nonuniform temperature gradient between the inner and outer layers of the sample. Employing a lossy container may be an effective method to address this issue because the heat conduction ...
