Maintaining egg freshness in the absence of refrigeration: The potential of zero‐energy cooling pots
Abstract Background Egg storage in regions with unreliable electricity is challenging, leading to rapid quality deterioration and postharvest losses. This study evaluated the efficacy of a Zero‐Energy Cooling (ZEC) pot, an evaporative cooling technology, for preserving table egg quality in comparison to conventional refrigeration and ambient storage ...

Rise of the south: How Arab‐led maritime trade transformed China, 671–1371 CE
Abstract China's center of socioeconomic activities was in the North prior to the Tang dynasty but is in the South today. We demonstrate that Arab and Persian Muslim traders triggered that transition when they came to China in the late seventh century, by lifting maritime trade along the South Coast and re‐creating the South.

Modulación composicional en la perovskita “PbCrO3” y su influencia en las propiedades
In this work, we revisited the “PbCrO3” perovskite. In the late 60’s, it was claimed to be cubic and a G-type antiferromagnetic material (1, 2). We have encountered that an intrinsic compositional modulation is present and shows a deficiency in lead of ...
