Responsive caregiving is the dimension of parenting most consistently related to later child functioning in both developing and developed countries. There is a growing need for efficient, psychometrically sound and culturally appropriate measurement...
The main objective of the present work was to study the drying kinetics and obtain the optimum process parameters of cantaloupe slices using short-and medium-wave infrared radiation (SMIR) drying technology. The effect of three independent variables...
Spectroscopic reflectance is a versatile optical methodology for the characterization of transparent and semi-transparent thin films in terms of thickness and refractive index. The Fresnel equations are used to interpret the measurements, but their a...
Sustainable methods such as convective drying have regained interest in reducing the loss and waste of food produce. Combined with techniques like blanching and edible coatings, they could serve as useful tools in food processing development. Composi...
As an important energy conversion mechanism, centrifugal compressors play an important role in the national economy. The blade is one of the most critical components of the compressor. Damaged blades contain extremely high added value for remanufactu...
The increasing interest in valorizing agricultural by-products has positioned grape pomace as a rich source of bioactive compounds. This study developed an effect-directed extraction (EDE) approach guided by bioactivity quantification on thin layer c...
The visualization of infection processes in relevant tissues and organs using microscopy methods reveals a unique link between the distribution, tropism, and abundance of pathogens and the physiological structure of the respective organ. To dissect v...
In recent years, significant exploration successes and research progress in volcanic hydrocarbon reservoirs across China’s offshore basins have highlighted their importance as key targets for deep hydrocarbon exploration. In the Shimentan Forma...
