Tertiary fatty amide, N,N-dibutyldodecanamide (DBDA), has been synthesized and evaluated as a new environmentally friendly plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Homogeneous PVC/DBDA films containing from 10 to 40 w...

The responses of fresh-cut (FC) vegetables to CO2 and O2 levels depend on their ripening stage and degree of processing. In this work we evaluated the effect of storage under different CO2 (2.5; 5; 10 and 15 kPa) and O2 ...

Context and background  Rapid urbanization in Lagos metropolis, Nigeria, has led to significant changes in its urban climate, manifesting as Urban Heat Islands (UHIs). Goal and Objectives: This study assesses the...

Natural rubber (NR) has gained a renewed attention as an eco-friendly material which have lower carbon footprints, particularly in comparison to synthetic rubbers. However, the production of block rubber from cup lump re...

The ripening stage of a fruit is a crucial determinant of its quality. Traditional assessment methods for fruit ripeness are often subjective, error-prone, and time-consuming. Therefore, numerous attempts are being made ...

The global shift towards sustainable bioenergy demands not only improved biomass upgrading methods but also credible validation of their techno-economic and environmental feasibility at an industrial scale. Torrefaction ...

The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) color center in diamond has rapidly emerged as an important solid-state system for quantum information processing. Whereas individual spin registers have been used to implement small-scale diamo...

With the increasing relevance of energy transition, synthetic fuels have arisen as an alternative to storage green energy. In the processing of this fuels, carbon monoxide is widely used. Understanding the behaviour of t...
