Effect of low temperature blanching, cysteine-HCI, N-acetyl-L-cysteine, Na metabisulphite and drying temperatures on the firmness and nutrient content of dried carrots by Mohamed, Suhaila, Hussein, Rosli

“…LTLT blanching allows pectin methyl esterase to deesterify pectin which can then react with calcium to form salt bridges. 0.3% L-cysteine-HCl was found to be most effective in preventing ascorbic acid loss and obtaining a product with the highest rehydration ability, compared to pretreatments with 0.3% N-acetyl-L-cysteine and 0.1% sodium metabisulphite. …”

Run-up related to onshore tsunami flows by Sim, Shawn Yisheng

“…Second, due to the discovery of a cave that has well preserved tsunami deposits off the coast of Banda Aceh, Indonesia, we found that experimental dam break waves have the potential not only to bring the sediments in, but also allow ample time for deposition to occur. …”

Flavour evaluation of chocolate formulated from cocoa beans from different countries by Jinap, S., Dimick, P.S., Hollender, R.

“…There was no correlation between the flavour score and the pH, tritratable acidity, acetic and lactic acid concentrations. The study found that chocolate samples made from the low pH (4.75-5.19) and high pH (5.50-5.80) cocoa beans have low response in strong chocolate flavour. …”

Muscarinic activation of a non-selective cationic conductance in pyramidal neurons in rat basolateral amygdala by Yajeya, J, de la Fuente Juan, A, Bajo, VM, Riolobos, AS, Heredia, M, Criado, JM

“…Extracellular perfusion of the K+ channel blockers Ba2+ and Cs+ or loading of cells with cesium acetate did not affect the carbachol-induced depolarization. …”

Development of highly efficient organic and perovskite solar cells by Li, Xianqiang

“…The improved stability should come from the neutral nature of the PFBD solution because the good solubility of PFBD in methanol without the requirement of acetic acid. Besides the good photovoltaic performance of PFBD, we observed a light-soaking effect that the organic solar cells’ performance kept improving with increasing the sun light illumination time during the measurement of organic solar cells with PFBD ETL. …”

The effect of mixed carbon source on enhanced biological phosphorus removal in tropical climate by Cai, Xueyun

“…GAOs typically are slower at consuming propionate than PAOs while both could uptake acetate rapidly. Thus, acetate-fed and propionate-fed culture would be used to investigate the effect of different carbon sources such as VFAs on EBPR. …”

Amelioration of saline stress on Chia (Salvia hispanica L.) seedlings inoculated with halotolerant plant growth-promoting bacteria isolated from hypersaline environments by Yañez-Yazlle, María Florencia, Romano-Armada, Neli, Rajal, Verónica Beatriz, Irazusta, Verónica Patricia

“…A total of 667 microorganisms were isolated, using different culture media with NaCl, and their abilities for nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, siderophores production, and indole-3-acetic acid production were evaluated. Thirteen strains were selected for showing all the tested PGP activities; they belonged to the genera Kushneria, Halomonass, Pseudomonas, Planomicrobium, and Pseudarthrobacter. …”
