A general comment is made on the existence of various baths in quantum thermodynamics, and a brief explanation is presented about the concept of weak invariants. Then, the isoenergetic process is studied for a spin in a magnetic field that slowly var...
The difference between quantum isoenergetic process and quantum isothermal process comes from the violation of the law of equipartition of energy in the quantum regime. To reveal an important physical meaning of this fact, here we study a special typ...
We consider a purely mechanical quantum cycle comprised of adiabatic and isoenergetic processes. In the latter, the system interacts with an energy bath keeping constant the expectation value of the Hamiltonian. In this work, we study the performance...
Cubic boron nitride (c-BN) is a “difficult-to-cut” material. High precision machining of this material is problematic because it is difficult to control the material removal rate and maintain acceptable accuracy. This paper describes an a...
Ruminant livestock production faces rising challenges related to feed costs, sustainability, and methane (CH4) emissions, with the rumen microbiome playing a central role. This study evaluated the effects of processed and unprocessed orange peel wast...
DNA repeat domains implicated in DNA expansion diseases exhibit complex conformational and energy landscapes that impact biological outcomes. These landscapes include ensembles of entropically driven positional interchanges between isoenergetic, isom...
This study presents the first evidence for the photocatalytic performance of ZnO/CuxO hexagonal nanowires leading to sulfamethazine (SMT) degradation. The chemical composition of the nanowires was determined by X-ray fluorescence (XRF). The sample wi...
The objective of this research was to determine whether chronic (average 3.58 ± 1.56 years) deliberate adherence to low carbohydrate diets (LCDs) is associated with selected markers of metabolism, risk factors of cardiovascular disease (CVD),...
Glucose plays a central role in numerous physiological processes in dairy cows related to immune defence and milk production. A lack of glucose impairs both objectives, although to different degrees. A method for the estimation of glucose balance (GB...
The aim of this trial was to assess the effect of feeding a concentrate including cold-pressed rapeseed cake (CPRC) on productive performance, milk quality and its sensory properties, ruminal biohydrogenation, and bacterial communities. Eighteen cows...
The study investigated whether the full replacement of chemically solvent-extracted soybean meal (SM) with mechanically extracted soybean press cake (SC) could be carried out in pigs intended for dry-cured ham production. Eighty Italian heavy pigs we...
To reduce pressure on capture fisheries, sustainable aquaculture must decrease its dependency on fish meal and fish oil. Microalgae are a promising substitute due to their complete nutritional profile and low-footprint production process. This study...
Blood by-products are an untapped source of high-quality ingredients for aquafeeds, containing a broad variety of cytokines, hormones, growth factors, proteins, bioactive peptides, and amino acids. The effects of the spray-dried porcine plasma (SDPP)...
A previous in vivo study with rats suggested that a special milk protein drink manufactured using an acidification procedure to suppress the aggregation of milk proteins was absorbed quickly after feeding. We performed a randomized, double-blind, pla...
Sustainable Mediterranean aquaculture requires reducing fishmeal (FM) and fish oil (FO) use without compromising product quality. This study evaluated the effects of three isoenergetic and isoproteic diets—control fishmeal (FM), processed anima...
Carpione (Salmo carpio, Linnaeus 1758) is an endangered precious endemism of Lake Garda (Northern Italy), the largest Italian lake. To date, several bottlenecks about its culture remain unsolved, including the identification of a proper growth-out di...
This study evaluated the effects of crayfish shell meal (CSM) processed by drying, enzymatic hydrolysis, or fermentation on juvenile largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). A total of 320 fish (initial body weight, approximately 5.69 g) were distrib...
Recently, there has been an increasing interest in integrating pulse flours into pastries and baked products to improve their nutritional and health benefits. “Mankoushe,” a popular Lebanese pastry made up of refined wheat flour was enric...
This study evaluated the effects of alternative feed formulations on the proximate composition and lipid quality of gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) in a long-term feeding trial (May 2022–September 2023). Three isoenergetic and isoproteic die...
The conformational properties and intrinsic reactivity of unsaturated CH2=C(R)XH systems (R = –H, –CH=CH2, –C≡CH, –C≡N, –Cl, –phenyl, –cyclopentadienyl, –pyrrole; X = O, S, Se)—namely...
Apple pomace, a byproduct of juice processing, requires valorization. This study evaluated the dose-dependent effects of fermented apple pomace (FAP) on growth and lactation performance in dairy goats and associated antioxidant, inflammatory, and gut...
Background/Objectives: A faster eating rate is associated with increased energy intake and risk of obesity. High consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) is associated with a faster eating rate. Psychobehavioral aspects, such as body image self-pe...
Functional ingredients have profiled as suitable candidates for reinforcing the fish antioxidant response and stress tolerance. In addition, selective breeding strategies have also demonstrated a correlation between fish growth performance and suscep...
Durum wheat bran (DWB) is a by-product mostly used in feeding ruminants, contributing to decrease in the utilization of feeds suitable as foods for human consumption, thus improving the sustainability of livestock production. However, the potential b...
