Multivariate Assessment and Risk Ranking of Pesticide Residues in Citrus Fruits
(MDPI, 2023)
Pesticides are extensively used in the cultivation and postharvest protection of citrus fruits, therefore continuous monitoring and health risk assessments of their residues are required. This study aimed to investigate ...
Crack Size and Undermatching Effects on Fracture Behavior of a Welded Joint
(MDPI, 2023)
Crack size and undermatching effects on fracture behavior of undermatched welded joints are presented and analyzed. Experimental and numerical analysis of the fracture behavior of high-strength low-alloyed (HSLA) steel ...
Influence of Ultrasonic and Chemical Pretreatments on Quality Attributes of Dried Pepper (Capsicum annuum)
(MDPI, 2023)
This study investigates the effects of ultrasound, in combination with chemical pretreatments, on the quality attributes (total phenolic and carotenoid content, antioxidant activity (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl assay ...
Design and characterization of reversible thermodynamic SMPU-based fabrics with improved comfort properties
(SAGE Publications Ltd., 2023)
In recent years, great efforts have been made to research and develop advanced thermodynamic textiles that can change their thermal behavior in response to external stimuli. More specifically, shape memory alloys and shape ...
From Aloe vera Leaf Waste to the Extracts with Biological Potential: Optimization of the Extractions, Physicochemical Characterization, and Biological Activities
(MDPI, 2023)
In the study, the optimization of the extraction from Aloe vera leaf waste was performed via varying solid-to-solvent ratio, solvent type, extraction time, and technique (maceration, heat-, ultrasound-, and microwave-assisted ...
Influence of Novel SrTiO3/MnO2 Hybrid Nanoparticles on Poly(methyl methacrylate) Thermal and Mechanical Behavior
(MDPI, 2024)
While dental poly methyl methacrylate(PMMA) possesses distinctive qualities such as ease of fabrication, cost-effectiveness, and favorable physical and mechanical properties, these attributes alone are inadequate to impart ...
The Role of Cellulosic and Noncellulosic Functional Groups in the Biosorption of Lead Ions by Waste Flax Fibers
(JOURNAL OF NATURAL FIBERS, 2023)
In this study, waste flax fibers with different levels of cellulosic and noncellulosic components were obtained by oxidative and alkali treatments and used to assess the influence of the fiber’s structural and chemical ...
Development, Characterization and Incorporation of Alginate‐Plant Protein Covered Liposomes Containing Ground Ivy (Glechoma hederacea L.) Extract into Candies
(MDPI, 2022)
Ground ivy (Glechoma hederacea L.) has been known as a medicinal plant in folk medicine for generations and, as a member of the Lamiaceae family, is characterized with a high content of rosmarinic acid. The aim of the ...
The Effect of Glycol Derivatives on the Properties of Bio-Based Unsaturated Polyesters
(MDPI, 2022)
The scope of the present study was to prepare fully bio-based unsaturated polyester resins (UPRs) with comparable properties to the commercial formulations. The focus was set on the determination of the optimal prepolymer ...
Optimization of Ciprofloxacin Adsorption on Clinoptilolite-Based Adsorbents Using Response Surface Methodology
(MDPI, 2023)
The adsorption of the antibiotic ciprofloxacin (CIP) from water solution by natural zeolite–clinoptilolite (CLI), magnetic clinoptilolite (MAG-CLI), and graphene oxide coated magnetic clinoptilolite (GO-MAG-CLI) was ...
