Influences of conventional thermal and innovative non-thermal extraction methods on the physicochemical characteristics and properties of pectic polysaccharides from Choerospondias axillaris peels were investigated. Results showed that ultrasound-assisted extracted polysaccharides (UP) had a heterogeneous nature with lower molecular weight (127.7 kDa) and lower neutral sugar content (35.1%) but hi ...
... Double emulsions have very promising application prospects in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries. Nevertheless, its usage in the food industry is restricted mainly due to its immense stability problems. Here, W₁/O/W₂ double emulsion was prepared by two-step emulsification method using ultrasonic emulsification technology. The physicochemical stability, rheological properties, therma ...

Abstract:
... The commonly used consumer product of an ultrasonic humidifier (e.g., cool mist humidifier) emits fine particles containing metals from tap water used to fill the humidifier. The objectives are: 1) predict emitted indoor air inhalable metal concentrations produced by an ultrasonic humidifier filled with tap-water containing As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, and Pb in 33 m³ or 72 m³ rooms with varying air exchan ...
... This study aimed to evaluate the impact of high-intensity ultrasound (HIUS) and types of oil on the emulsion of egg white proteins (EWPs). Dispersions (2%, w/v) of (EWPs) with (corn, sunflower, and soybean) oils were homogenized and then sonicated at 320 -watts for 4, 12 and 20 min. Emulsions were described by microscopy, ζ-potential, particle size, rheology, viscosity, and interfacial tension. Th ...
... The study described the synthesis, characterization, and application of newly prepared sulfathiazole-modified amide/imide co-polymers for the extraction of trace Sb(III) from edible vegetable oils. The method was based on the pH-dependent complexation between Sb(III) and chelators as a result of charge transfer via tautomerization in presence of the mixed ionic surfactants in 5%(v/v) 2-propanol, 1 ...

Abstract:
... This study developed two novel food packaging films, oat protein/pullulan (Op/Pul) and Nisin-loaded oat protein/pullulan (Nis@Op/Pul) films. Ultrasound was introduced to improve its mechanical, structural and physicochemical properties. The Op/Pul film has lower light transmittance, water vapour and oxygen permeability (OP) and improved film uniformity than pure oat protein and pullulan film. The ...

Abstract:
... This paper synthesized a new type of ternary piezoelectric catalyst MoOₓ/ZnS/ZnO (MZZ) by a one-step method. The catalytic degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) solution (10 μg/g, pH = 7.0) shows that the composite catalyst has excellent piezoelectric catalytic activity under ultrasonic vibration (40 kHz). The piezoelectric degradation rate of the optimal sample reached 0.054 min⁻¹, which was about 2.5 ...

Abstract:
... This study characterized and compared the physical and emulsifying properties of pea protein (PP) and its modified proteins (ultrasound treated- PP (PPU), flaxseed gum (FG) treated PP (PPFG) and ultrasound treated- PPFG (PPFGU)). The results showed FG triggered the formation of loosely attached complex with PP via physical modification under gentle magnetic stirring at pH 7.0, while ultrasound pla ...
... A novel cyanine-rhenium(i) tricarbonyl complex is developed as a potent sonosensitizer and sono-activatable CO-releasing agent for synergistic sonodynamic therapy and CO gas therapy of cancer. The complex induced ferroptosis as the mode of cell death. ...
... Impedance-matched acoustic materials were developed to improve ultrasound penetration through the aberration layer. The traditional ultrasound layer matching material is called a couplant, which can only enhance ultrasound transmission to soft biological media such as the cartilage and muscle but cannot penetrate hard media such as the bone. Here, we propose a phase-modulated complementary acousti ...
... The diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in children is challenging. Difficulties in acquiring suitable specimens, pauci-bacillary load, and limitations of current diagnostic methods often make microbiological confirmation difficult. Chest imaging provides an additional diagnostic modality that is frequently used in clinical practice. Chest imaging can also provide insight into treatment resp ...

Abstract:
... High costs for installing, maintaining, and updating a standard picture archiving and communication system (PACS) can be prohibitive for small/medium‐sized veterinary facilities. The aims of this prospective, exploratory study were to describe the design, implementation, and author experiences for 1 year's use of a low‐cost PACS based on network‐attached storage. The system described here was easi ...
... OBJECTIVE: To compare the measurements of iridocorneal angle parameters between spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD‐OCT) and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) in dogs. ANIMALS STUDIED AND PROCEDURES: A total of 47 eyes of dogs were scanned at the temporal limbus using SD‐OCT and UBM. Iridocorneal angle (ICA) and angle opening distance (AOD) were measured from the obtained images accordin ...
... The preparation of nanocomposites with controllable structure is important. There are few reports on preparation of ultrashort composite nanotubes with core–shell structure from long nanotubes, and how to maintain structural integrity and to avoid shell falling off or damaging are still challenging. Here we prepare ultrashort core–shell composite nanotubes with the outer layer of SiO₂ or TiO₂ and ...
