THE INFLUENCE OF TEMPERATURE AND PRECIPITATION ON THE PRODUCTION AND REVENUE OF IN-SHELL BRAZIL NUTS IN THE SOUTHWESTERN AMAZON [PDF]
Revista ÁrvoreThe rise in temperature and changes in rainfall patterns in the Amazon may impact the phenology and survival of native species, such as the Brazil nut tree (Bertholletia excelsa, Lecythidaceae), a species of great socioeconomic importance in the state of

Brazil-nut effect versus reverse Brazil-nut effect in a moderately dense granular fluid [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2008 A new segregation criterion based on the inelastic Enskog kinetic equation is derived to show the transition between the Brazil-nut effect (BNE) and the reverse Brazil-nut effect (RBNE) by varying the different parameters of the system. In contrast to previous theoretical attempts the approach is not limited to the near-elastic case, takes into account

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.The study demonstrates how functional foods, medicinal plants, phytochemicals, bioactive compounds and essential nutrients combat metabolic diseases. It highlights their mechanisms, including antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, insulin‐sensitising, lipid‐regulating, gut microbiota‐modulating and mitochondrial‐enhancing effects, leading to improved ...

Heat Transfer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Several engineering problems involve the need to model conjugate heat transfer processes considering the temperature‐dependence of the material properties. Consequently, a simulation tool capable of modeling this process is of great interest. In this context, the present work proposes a thermal lattice Boltzmann method (TLBM) for modeling the ...

Size segregation of irregular granular materials captured by time-resolved 3D imaging
Scientific Reports, 2021 When opening a box of mixed nuts, a common experience is to find the largest nuts at the top. This well-known effect is the result of size-segregation where differently sized ‘particles’ sort themselves into distinct layers when shaken, vibrated or ...
