The current study aimed at developing an effective organosolv treatment, with the objective to obtain potato peel extracts highly enriched in polyphenols. To this end, two low-cost solvents were employed, 1- and 2-propanol, which are considered green...

Magnetic levitation can reduce particulate contamination that occurs during wafer transportation in the semiconductor manufacturing process. This technology radically eliminates contact between the wafer and the transport system, reducing friction, w...

Ticks are significant vectors of pathogens in human and veterinary medicine and have been identified as (re)emerging health threats. The primary objective of this study was to collect new data on the fauna of hard ticks within the region of Istria wi...

As the fertile topsoil is constantly washed away and agricultural production is decreased, soil erosion is a serious environmental issue that affects the entire planet. All river basins experience changes in land use that affect sediment dynamics, so...

Pile groups are frequently employed to reinforce soft soil foundations, while the piling process frequently disturbs the adjacent foundation. The shielding effect, which prevents the transmission of disturbances from pile installation, is indispensab...

This study assessed the stress distribution (in eighty-one 3D models of the second lower premolar) in a stainless-steel bracket and enamel crown under 0.5 N of intrusion, extrusion, rotation, translation, and tipping during a horizontal periodontal b...

A dynamic numerical method is established to simulate the stability of the surrounding rocks of the retained roadway in FLAC3D, along with a double-yield constitutive model to simulate the re-compaction process of gangue and a strain-softening consti...

Internet of Things technology opens the horizon to a broader scope of intelligent applications in smart cities. However, the massive amount of traffic exchanged among devices may cause security risks, especially when devices are compromised or vulner...

Air quality in tourist reception areas can be a significant health concern. It also plays an increasingly important role when it comes to choosing tourist destinations. NO2 is a harmful gas that can cause an increased number of cancer or respiratory...

The proper application of millimeter-sized spherical porous ceramic supports in catalytic operations relies on their ease of handling, convenient separation, recyclability, high-catalyst-solid loading, and the optimum mass transfer of reactants and p...
