Microwave-assisted treatment for the improvement of rice flour properties and rice flour bread quality by Md Yunos, Noor Seribainun Hidayah, Hafid, Halimatun Saadiah, Omar, Farah Nadia, P. Mohammed, Mohd Afandi, Wakisaka, Minato, Mustapha, Nor Afizah, Samsu Baharuddin, Azhari

“…Rice flour having two different water content (20% and 30%) were exposed to different level of microwave power (600 W, 700 W and 800 W) with 8 min treatment time to assess its influence on amylose content, thermal properties, morphological structure, functional and crystalline structural that affect bread quality. …”

A newly isolated organic solvent tolerant Bacillus sphaericus 205y producing organic solvent-stable lipase by Hun, Chin John, Raja Abd Rahman, Raja Noor Zaliha, Salleh, Abu Bakar, Basri, Mahiran

“…Four production media were tested and medium M3 yielded the highest lipase activity of 0.42 U ml-1 min-1 at 36 h incubation time. Stability studies in various organic solvents at 25% (v/v) showed that lipase from B. sphaericus 205y were not only stable but also activated by n-hexane and p-xylene by 3.5- and 2.9-folds, respectively. …”

An eco-friendly synthesis of titanium oxide nanoparticles mediated from Syringodium isoetifolium and evaluate its biological activity and photocatalytic dye degradation. by Sundar, Velmani, Balasubramanian, Balamuralikrishnan, Sivakumar, Mani, Chinnaraj, Santhosh, Palani, Vino, Maluventhen, Viji, Kamyab, Hesam, Chelliapan, Shreeshivadasan, Arumugam, Maruthupandian, Zuleta Mediavilla, Diana Patricia

“…The percentage of degradation by the TiO2 NPs was found to be higher in methylene blue (83 %) than methyl orange (58 %) for S. isoetifolium with marine macro algae extract after 120 min of visible light irradiation. The green synthesis of TiO2 NPs emphases to be cost effective and eco-friendly with antimicrobial and anti-cancer effects against breast cancer cell lines.…”

Partnership Ties Shape Friendship Networks: A Dynamic Social Network Study by Stadtfeld, Christoph, Pentland, Alex

“…In our study, we follow dynamic friendship formation among 126 individuals and their cohabiting partners in a university-related graduate housing community over a period of nine months (N = 2,250 self-reported friendship relations). We find that partnership ties strongly shape the dynamic process of friendship formation. …”

Can Plants Perceive Human Gestures? Using AI to Track Eurythmic Human–Plant Interaction by Gil, Alvaro Francisco, Weinbeer, Moritz, Gloor, Peter A.

“…Using machine learning, we found that the voltage differentials over time of the plant predict if (a) eurythmy has been performed, and (b) which kind of eurythmy gestures has been performed. We also find that the signals are different based on the species of the plant. …”

To What Extent Do Alternative Energy Sources Displace Coal and Oil in Electricity Generation? A Mean-Group Panel Analysis by Liddle, Brantley

“…As such, our approach avoids/addresses several statistical issues common in long-macro panel analyses—heterogeneity, nonstationarity, and cross-sectional dependence—that have largely been ignored/unaddressed in previous displacement studies. Ultimately, we find that the displacement effect is small and only marginally significant for nuclear, and is significant though less than unity for natural gas and hydro, whereas intermittent renewables (solar and wind) have unitary displacement effect. …”

Signatures of wave erosion in Titan’s coasts by Palermo, Rose V, Ashton, Andrew D, Soderblom, Jason M, Birch, Samuel PD, Hayes, Alexander G, Perron, J Taylor

“…Applying this framework to Titan, we find that the shorelines of Titan’s seas are most consistent with flooded landscapes that subsequently have been eroded by waves, rather than a uniform erosional process or no coastal erosion, particularly if wave growth saturates at fetch lengths of tens of kilometers.…”
