This contribution illustrates the research focused on the process of securing and the transportation prior to the conservation treatment of a wooden Crucifix—severely damaged in 2016 during the earthquake of Central Italy—through the appl...
Traditional sample preparation for terpene analysis includes distillation, solvent extraction, and solid phase extraction and is followed by using gas chromatography with a mass spectrometer (GC-MS) to complete identification and quantification. The...
The insect olfactory system is vital for survival, enabling the recognition and discrimination of a wide range of odorants present in the environment. This process is mediated by odorant receptors (Ors) and the highly conserved co-receptor Orco. Inse...
Resonant micro/nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS) with on-chip integrated excitation and readout components, exhibit exquisite gravimetric sensitivities which have greatly advanced the bio/chemical sensor technologies in the past two decades....
The purpose of this study is to evaluate Lactobacillus paracasei SMB092 as a prophylactic agent for oral pathogens. We examined the physical interaction of SMB092 with a host by identifying the presence of mucus-binding (MuB) protein domains and the...
The contribution of grape pomace on tannin concentration, tannin composition and aroma profile of Pinot noir wine was studied using different fermentation media to make up four treatments: GJ-P, grape juice plus pomace; MJ-P, model juice plus pomace;...
Hindered phenolic antioxidants are the primary defense against thermo-oxidative degradation in most commercial polymers, yet in many long-lived service environments, their effectiveness is limited less by radical-scavenging chemistry than by physical...
The modern utilization of essential oils such as ginger oil (GO) as an anti-aflatoxin represents a potential target for food preservation and safety; however, the mechanism of action is still unclear. Nanoemulsions, through an edible coating, can enh...
