Optimization of extraction of stinging nettle leaf phenolic compounds using response surface methodology
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2015)
A full three level factorial design was implemented for optimization of extraction parameters in order to maximize total phenolic (TP) yield from stinging nettle leaf. Factors considered were percentage of methanol in ...
Micro-environmentally restricted cell growth dynamics - modeling considerations
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2015)
Various modeling approaches have been applied to describe the rearrangement of immobilized cell clusters within the extracellular matrix. The cell rearrangement has been related with the micro-environmental restrictions ...
Intestinal Microbiota And Diet in IBS: Causes, Consequences, or Epiphenomena?
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Philadelphia, 2015)
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a heterogeneous functional disorder with a multifactorial etiology that involves the interplay of both host and environmental factors. Among environmental factors relevant for IBS etiology, ...
Bond strength of restorative materials to hydroxyapatite inserts and dimensional changes of insert-containing restorations during polymerization
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
Objective. To determine the shear bond strength (SBS) between synthetic controlled porous hydroxyapatite (HAP) inserts and restorative materials and dimensional changes of insert-containing restorations during curing. ...
Optimisation of microwave-assisted extraction parameters for antioxidants from waste Achillea millefolium dust
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2015)
Microwave-assisted extraction of polyphenols and flavonoids from waste Achillea millefolium (yarrow) dust was optimised using the response surface methodology. The influence of the extraction time (13-47 s), ethanol ...
Protein-reinforced and chitosan-pectin coated alginate microparticles for delivery of flavan-3-ol antioxidants and caffeine from green tea extract
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
In this study, potential interactions of alginate-proteins and proteins-polyphenols were utilized for the formulation of microparticles encapsulating green tea flavan-3-ols and caffeine. Electrostatic assisted extrusion ...
Novel and conventional working fluid mixtures for solar Rankine cycles: Performance assessment and multi-criteria selection
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
This work investigates the performance of working fluid mixtures for use in solar ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle systems) with heat storage employing FPC (Flat Plate Collectors). Several mixtures are considered including ...
Influence of annealing temperature on the baking response and corrosion properties of an Al-4.6 wt% Mg alloy with 0.54 wt% Cu
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2015)
The effect of different thermo-mechanical processing parameters on the baking response, and intergranular corrosion (IGC) resistance of an Al-4.6 wt% Mg-0.54 wt% Cu alloy was investigated. It has been shown that the high ...
Trends in Encapsulation Technologies for Delivery of Food Bioactive Compounds
(Springer, New York, 2015)
The food industry expects increasingly complex properties (such as delayed release, stability, thermal protection, and suitable sensorial profile) from food ingredients, which often would not be able to be achieved without ...
Negative influence of Ag and TiO2 nanoparticles on biodegradation of cotton fabrics
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2015)
Recently, many efforts have been made to efficiently impregnate different textile materials with metal and metal oxide nanoparticles in order to provide antimicrobial, UV protective or self-cleaning properties. Evidence ...
