In arid and semiarid areas, the interplant spaces are usually covered by physical and biological soil crusts. These crusts, though representing an almost negligible portion of the soil profile, have a number of crucial r...

Abstract This study was performed to investigate the antioxidative and sensory properties of Allium hookeri fermented by Leuconostoc mesenteroides in pork patties. The patties were divided into three groups: CON, with no...

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging is based on airborne or satellite active microwave sensors that can capture the earth surface by emitting a signal and receiving the backscattered signal that forms the resulting im...

The Hauraki Goldfield of the Coromandel Volcanic Zone, North Island, New Zealand, hosts up to 19 known siliceous hot spring deposits, or sinters, some directly associated with Au–Ag ore bodies, in a Miocene–Pliocene,...

Abstract Cacao has been shown to have antioxidant effects and health benefits. However, the applicability of cacao as a meat preservative has not been thoroughly evaluated. Here, we examined the effects of cacao nib extr...

Gluten-free flours based products present technological difficulties in their preparation, the texture is very different in comparison to products that contain gluten and their nutritional quality is often deficient due ...

By reaction between stearic acid (SA) and a di-epoxidized oligomeric poly(ethylene glycol) under stoichiometric conditions, an amphiphilic β-hydroxyester (β-HE) bearing pendant alkyl chains was obtained with a typical ...

The kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis var chinensis cv. Hayward), a climacteric fruit, can be harvested at physiological maturity and maintain its quality for up to six months at cold storage. The length of the storage peri...

We study the thickness influence on the martensitic transformation in Cu-Al-Ni thin films grown by sputtering on Si (001). Thin films with thicknesses between 0.1 μm and 2.25 mm were grown at 563 K. The analysis of the ...
