CFD modeling and experimental validation of biomass fast pyrolysis in a conical spouted bed reactor
(Elsevier, 2020-12-31)
[EN] A 2D Euler-Euler multiphase computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model in conjunction with the kinetic theory of granular flow (KTGF) was applied to describe the biomass pyrolysis in a spouted bed reactor. The primary ...
Cellulose Nanocrystal and Water-Soluble Cellulose Derivative Based Electromechanical Bending Actuators
(MDPI, 2020-05-15)
This study reports a versatile method for the development of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and water-soluble cellulose derivatives (methyl cellulose (MC), hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose ...
Pyrolysis of plastic wastes in a fountain confined conical spouted bed reactor: determination of stable operating conditions
(Elsevier, 2020-12-31)
[EN] The performance of both fluidized and spouted bed reactors in the pyrolysis of waste plastics is conditioned by particle agglomeration phenomena, which worsen the quality of the gas-solid contact and eventually lead ...
Muscle and Subcutaneous Fatty Acid Composition and the Evaluation of Ageing Time on Meat Quality Parameters of Hispano-Bretón Horse Breed
(MDPI, 2021-05-15)
A full-randomized block design was used for the study of the FA composition and meat quality parameters, considering ageing time as a split-plot factor. Chemical and fatty acid composition of steaks (longissimus thoracis ...
Liver osteopontin is required to prevent the progression of age-related nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
(Wiley, 2020-07-07)
[EN] Osteopontin (OPN), a senescence-associated secretory phenotype factor, is increased
in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Cellular senescence
has been associated with age-dependent hepatosteatosis. ...
Protein Biomarkers of Bovine Defective Meats at a Glance: Gel-Free Hybrid Quadrupole-Orbitrap Analysis for Rapid Screening
(American Chemical Society, 2021-07-07)
An understanding of biological mechanisms that could be involved in the stress response of animal cattle prior to slaughter is critical to create effective strategies aiming at the production of high-quality meat. The ...
Caspase activity in post mortem muscle and its relation to cattle handling practices
(Wiley, 2021-12)
BACKGROUND Animal handling practices are one of the factors majorly affecting animal metabolism prior to slaughter. This phenomenon increases the occurrence of meat quality defects such as dark cutting-beef, causing high ...
Novel Thermal Management Strategy for Improved Inverter Reliability in Electric Vehicles
(MDPI, 2020-11-12)
Requirements for electric vehicle (EV) propulsion systems—i.e., power density, switching frequency and cost—are becoming more stringent, while high reliability also needs to be ensured to maximize a vehicle’s life-cycle. ...
Toward Diffusion Measurements of Colloidal Nanoparticles in Biological Environments by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
(Wiley, 2020-09-20)
Protein corona formation on the surface of nanoparticles (NPs) is observed in situ by measuring diffusion coefficients of the NPs under the presence of proteins with a F-19 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) based methodology. ...
Effect of Deterpenated Origanum majorana L. Essential Oil on the Physicochemical and Biological Properties of Chitosan/β-Chitin Nanofibers Nanocomposite Films
(MDPI, 2021-05-07)
Herein, the effect of three deterpenated fractions from Origanum majorana L. essential oil on the physicochemical, mechanical and biological properties of chitosan/β-chitin nanofibers-based nanocomposite films were ...
