In this paper, the effects of vacuum cooling factors on the weight loss of postharvest broccoli were initially investigated. In sequence, the vacuum cooling treatment conditions were optimized using the response surface methodology (RSM) combined with the genetic algorithm (GA) technique. Fresh broccoli samples were harvested from a Chinese farm, and the green heads of selected samples were cut into smaller pieces, with diameters approximately 3–4 cm, and sequentially equilibrated to room temperature. ...

A common problem found in the calibration laboratories is the reliability of the results obtained from calibration of instruments, especially when they do not have a built-in communication interface. In this case, the time consuming is increased significantly and the calibration may be subject to human error. Thus, many approaches based on computer vision have been proposed in the literature for automating calibration processes. However, most of them first simplify the images, usually using operations ...

Background Recent studies have linked low heart rate variability (HRV) with COVID-19, indicating that this parameter can be a marker of the onset of the disease and its severity and a predictor of mortality in infected people. Given the large number of wearable devices that capture physiological signals of the human body easily and noninvasively, several studies have used this equipment to measure the HRV of individuals and related these measures to COVID-19. Objective The objective of this study ...

The building industry has widespread social, economic and environmental impacts. Considering the materials used, such impacts depend on the production of concrete, since it is the most consumed material and its properties are associated with the consumption of Portland cement, which represents a significant part of CO2 emissions from this sector. This project studied the utility of recycled tire rubber for lightweight concrete with added metakaolin, with the dual purpose of reducing cement consumption ...

The human chemokine family consists of 46 protein ligands that induce chemotactic cell migration by activating a family of 23 G protein-coupled receptors. The two major chemokine subfamilies, CC and CXC, bind distinct receptor subsets. A sequence motif defining these families, the X position in the CXC motif, is not predicted to make significant contacts with the receptor, but instead links structural elements associated with binding and activation. Here, we use comparative analysis of chemokine ...

The visual properties of agricultural grains are important factors for determining their market prices and assisting their choices by consumers. Despite the importance of visual inspection processes for agricultural grains quality, such tasks are usually handled manually and therefore subject to many failures. Thus, a computer vision approach that is able to segment correctly the grains contained in an image for further classification and detection of defects consists of an important practical application, ...

The lack of compatibility between the glaze surface and the ceramic substrate is one of the major causes of defects in ceramic processing. When no compatibility in the thermal expansion behavior exists between these two parts of a ceramic tile, defects like chipping, curvature and cracks can occur. Some methods have been developed to study these events, particularly the stresses between glaze and substrate, like the superposition of dilatometric curves, the glazed ring method and the Steger method. ...

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is considered the most toxic mycotoxin with the greatest potential for contamination of animal feed. Among the most promising and practical approaches to reducing aflatoxicosis is the addition of non-nutritive adsorbent materials to contaminated food intended for animal feed, such as natural or modified bentonitic clays. The lyophilization process, when compared to other means of dehydration, maintains the product's integrity and characteristics such as contraction, loss of volatiles, ...

Abstract Six clays from various deposits were studied for their use in the production of structural clay products. The clays were characterized using chemical (X-ray fluorescence), mineralogical (X-ray diffraction) and thermal (differential scanning calorimetry/thermogravimetry) analyses. Particle-size distribution was determined by laser diffraction, plasticity by the Pfefferkorn method and the residue by the sieve-size method. Next, specimens were formed by extrusion and characterized by their linear ...

Abstract Clays are raw materials with properties that are necessary for the manufacture of ceramic tiles. The characteristics of clay ceramic raw materials may vary within the same mineral deposit. Clay blending promotes better use of clay reserves, thereby increasing the applicability and life cycle of raw materials. Therefore, it is important to understand the mechanisms controlling the firing of ceramic tiles. In this study, three different clays from a clay deposit were assessed and ten formulations ...

Continuous industrial development increases energy consumption and, consequently, the consumption of fossil fuels. Coal mineral has been used in Brazil as a solid fuel for thermoelectric generators for several years. However, coal exploitation affects the environment intensely, mainly because Brazilian coal contains excess ash and pyrite (iron disulfide). According to the local coal industry syndicate, the average annual coal run per mine is 6 million ton/year; 3.5 million ton/year are rejected and ...

Inverting for salt geometry using full-waveform inversion (FWI) is a challenging task, mostly due to the lack of extremely low-frequency signal in the seismic data, the limited penetration depth of diving waves using typical acquisition offsets, and the difficulty in correctly modeling the amplitude (and kinematics) of reflection events associated with the salt boundary. However, recent advances in reflection FWI (RFWI) have allowed it to use deep reflection data, beyond the diving-wave limit, by extracting ...

Cisplatin holds an illustrious position in the history of chemistry most notably for its role in the virtual cure of testicular cancer. Here we describe a role for this small molecule in cyanide detoxification in vivo. Cyanide kills organisms as diverse as insects, fish, and humans within seconds to hours. Current antidotes exhibit limited efficacy and are not amenable to mass distribution requiring the development of new classes of antidotes. The binding affinity of the cyanide anion for the positively ...
