The use of active coatings in fresh food packaging is an innovative technique that optimizes the functional properties of films, resulting in a longer product shelf life and reduced food waste.But, which is more sustainable, active packaging (AP) or conventional packaging (CP) for the packaging of fresh-cut products? To answer this research questio
In this study, SiC nano-particles were incorporated into the A356 aluminum alloy to fabricate metal matrix nano composites (MMNCs) with uniform reinforcement distribution.The tribological and mechanical properties of A356 nano composites were experimentally investigated.It was revealed that the presence of nano-SiC reinforcement led to significant
Abstract Music has been debated as a positive factor for the health of elderly people.In a randomized study, the researchers compared an intervention based on percussion and musical improvisation with a choir activity.The objective was to investigate whether improvisation would influence the executive functioning and motor skills of healthy elderly
Biophysical studies of protein structure and dynamics are typically performed in a highly controlled manner involving only the protein(s) of interest.Comparatively fewer such studies have been carried out in the context of a cellular environment that typically involves many biomolecules, ions and metabolites.Recently, solution NMR spectroscopy, foc
