Exact Computation of the Color Function for Triangular Element Interfaces

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, EarlyView.
We propose a robust algorithm, the Front2VOF algorithm, to compute the color function for triangular element interfaces in Front‐Tracking methods on a Cartesian mesh. ABSTRACT The calculation of the volume enclosed by curved surfaces discretized into triangular elements and a cube is of great importance in different domains, such as computer graphics ...

Lycopene‐rich food biomolecules from tomato processing waste: Green recovery, biopolymer‐based stabilisation, functional food applications and health relevance

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Tomato processing waste, particularly peel and pomace, is a sustainable and low‐cost source of lycopene‐rich food biomolecules. Lycopene, a lipophilic carotenoid with an extended conjugated structure, provides intense red colour, antioxidant potential and functional value to tomato‐derived ingredients.

Verification of False Reactivity in HIV Rapid Diagnostic Tests and Its Translation Into the Three Tests Algorithm in Cameroon

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Verification study enabled the detection of HIV false reactivity ranging from 0‐4% across rapid diagnostic tests. A reliable three‐tests algorithm ranked First Response HIV 1‐2‐0 Card, First Response HIV1+2/Syphilis Combo or STANDARD Q as suitable test 1 to mitigate false positive events. As countries move toward HIV elimination, implementing the three‐

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

Grassland forage legumes and drought mitigation – sheep wool application improved soil water availability and enhanced drought–stress responses

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Sheep wool may reduce drought stress in grasslands when used as a soil amendment. Two experiments were conducted to explore if: (i) water absorbed by wool would be biologically ‘active’ and therefore available to plants, using a novel method of measuring water activity (aw); and, (ii) adding wool to compost would delay water stress ...

Millennials' Hybrid Consumer Identities: Balancing Consumer Ethnocentrism

Psychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While consumer ethnocentrism has been widely examined, little is known about how consumers manage the persistent gap between ethnocentric attitudes and everyday purchasing behavior. Drawing on balance theory (Heider 1958), this study conceptualizes consumer ethnocentrism as a situationally activated balancing process rather than a stable ...

Plant biostimulants and their potential role in achieving the United Nations sustainable development goals

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Plant biostimulants are substances that are obtained from a variety of sources and are applied in minute quantities to enhance plant growth and vigor. In this review we detail how the use of plant biostimulants may contribute to efforts to achieving a number of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Agrivoltaic Lettuce Production Under Future Climates: A Sustainable Strategy for Optimizing Food and Energy Yields

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food system resilience is increasingly challenged by climate change and global trade volatility, even in high‐income nations like Canada. Agrivoltaics—co‐locating crops and photovoltaics (PV)–offers a sustainable production strategy to optimize land use and address both food and energy security.

Bacterial Infections and Their Cell Wall Ligands Differentially Modulate Doxorubicin Sensitivity in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Cells

Microorganisms
Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype with limited treatment options and poor clinical outcomes. Emerging evidence suggests that the tumor-associated microbiome may influence disease progression and therapy response ...
