Pseudocereals have gained attention due to their adaptability different climates, high nutritional value, and suitability for gluten-free plant-based diets. However, a challenge lies in the necessary adaptations diet pathways, mainly lack of matrix-matching metrological tools. To address this problem, we developed classification system support laboratory decisions without shaped Proficiency Testing (PT) or Certified/Standard References Material. This evaluates method performance through...

This research aims at bringing new contributions for lowering the polyether‐based polyurethane (PUR) flexible foam high deterioration rate by studying selected storage conditions. With a life expectancy of 20–50 years, many PUR objects show severe signs that, so far, cannot be prevented. To establish preservation strategy, natural ageing experiment in dark (12 months, 45–55% relative humidity) has been carried out study four conditions: open air room temperature (T) and sealed enclosures T...

Organizations need to constantly improve their strategy, processes, and management practices keep up with the ever-changing business environment. Over past few years, there has been a significant surge in popularity of lean agile approaches. However, when we talk about hybrid approach that combines both mindsets, more research is required fully understand this concept. Based on identified gap, study will be conducted evaluate how mindsets can implemented private label product development...

TEM00-mode operation is a requirement in many laser-based applications due to the small divergence and high-power density of emitted laser beam. A solar scheme was designed numerically studied with goal increasing solar-to-laser power conversion efficiency operation. The collection primary concentration sunlight performed via twelve sets folding mirrors Fresnel lenses, toward head composed fused silica torus volume seven Ce:Nd:YAG rods, side-pump configuration. With this scheme, totaling...

Every year, grapevine pruning produces huge amounts of residue, 90% which are from vine shoots. These a rich source natural antioxidants, mostly phenolic compounds, which, when properly extracted, can give rise to added-value products. However, their lack solubility in aqueous media and high susceptibility thermal oxidative degradation highly limit bioavailability. Encapsulation suitable carriers may have positive impact on bioavailability bioactivity. Previous data vine-shoot extraction...

Buprenorphine is a common analgesic in experimental research, due to effectiveness and having few side-effects, including limited influence the immune endocrine systems. However, how buprenorphine affects cytokine levels adrenal thyroid response during general anesthesia surgery incompletely understood. This study aimed assess whether modulated significantly those responses rats submitted anesthesia, mechanical ventilation, surgical insertion of intravascular catheters.Animals were...

Hemorrhagic shock (HS) induces a compensatory endocrine and cytokine response which aims to restore homeostasis. This can be modulated by general anesthetics. To our knowledge, no studies have evaluated if etomidate modulates this in experimental HS. After being premedicated with buprenorphine (0.05 mg/kg subcutaneously), male Wistar rats were anaesthetized 5% isoflurane divided into three groups: G1 (control, n = 16), G2 (n 13), G3 14). subjected HS collecting 30% of their blood volume...
