In the course of our studies on 3H-1,2-dithiole-3-thione synthesis, a serendipitous reactivity with á-haloketones, in the presence of excess of potassium iodide, has been observed. Instead of the expected reaction of th...

A quantitative interpretation of the schlieren technique applied to a non-thermal atmospheric-pressure oxygen plasma jet driven at low-frequency (50 Hz) is reported. The jet was operated in the turbulent regime with a ho...

Yeast biomass is a novel source for the production of biodegradable films and, joint to the incorporation of certain compounds from essential oils, it is possible to design promising active materials for food preservatio...

Abstract Achieving sustainable economic growth in resource-dependent economies is vital to balancing competitiveness, attracting investment, and improving environmental performance. This study examines the asymmetric eff...

Abstract Employee sustainable performance (ESP) has emerged as a fragmented construct at the intersection of employee performance and sustainability. This review synthesizes and evaluates the ESP literature to clarify it...

Abstract As climate change issues escalate, companies face increasing pressure to disclose their environmental impact. In this context, effective corporate governance is critical in promoting transparency and ensuring su...

Abstract Colostrum is the first mammary secretion produced after parturition and represents a biologically active fluid essential for neonatal survival, immune maturation, and early growth. Despite its importance, breed-...

Purple carrots (Daucus carota ssp. sativus var. atrorubens Alef.) accumulate anthocyanins in their roots, petioles and other plant parts. These flavonoid pigments represent an excellent dietary source of antioxidant and ...

Abstract This study investigates how Supportive Leadership (SL) influences Eco-Friendly Building Adoption (EFBA) through Sustainability Cognition (SC) and Perceived Managerial Capability (PMC) within the Stimulus–Organ...

Lean duplex stainless steels (LDSS) emerged as a competitive duplex stainless steels (DSS) where Ni is partially replaced by lower cost alloying elements such as Mn and N. However, to date there has been little to no inf...

Abstract IgA nephropathy (IgAN), the most common primary glomerulonephritis worldwide, is characterized by mesangial IgA deposition, which triggers complement activation, primarily through the alternative pathway. While ...

Drier conditions have been observed in Northern Patagonia, Argentina, in the last decades, affecting the pastoralism production system. In this context, two laws were promoted to foster goat and sheep production. This re...

Abstract The photocatalytic efficiency of pristine titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) remains suboptimal due to its poor visible light absorption and rapid charge carrier recombination, necessitating fine structu...

Abstract This study assesses the economic efficiency (EE) of low-emission rice production under Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) irrigation in the Mekong Delta using survey data from 250 households. Descriptive statist...

The new Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announcement makes it even more necessary to find alternatives to trans fats. The effect of cooling rate and temperature cycles on crystallization behavior and polymorphism of t...

Background and aimsThe ability of plant microbial symbionts to enhance hosts´ fitness depends on the abiotic and biotic context, including the presence of co-existing symbionts. We studied how the presence of arbuscular...

Communicating climate change projections to diverse stakeholders and addressing their concerns is crucial for fostering effective climate adaptation. This paper explores the use of storyline projections as an intermediat...

Juvenile breast cancer is rare and poorly known. We studied a series of five breast cancer patients diagnosed within 25 years of age that included two adolescents, 12- and 15-years-old, and 3 young women, 21-, 21-, and 2...
