Biodegradable HPMC–chitosan film for moisture retention and quality preservation in fresh‐cut mango
Abstract BACKGROUND Replacing conventional plastics with biodegradable solutions that control moisture loss in fresh‐cut produce is a strategic need. This study developed hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) and chitosan (CS) films plasticised with glycerol (Gly) and evaluated their use as sealing lids for fresh‐cut mango. RESULTS The selected monolayer

Mouse Vocal Fold Permeability In Vivo: Effects of Novel Low‐Tech Injury and Instillation Methods
Improving experimental mouse vocal fold injury and instillation approaches is necessary to advance preclinical models of laryngeal disease. We have successfully repurposed low‐tech, quick, and reliable injury and instillation methods established in respiratory research. Using these methods, we show that murine vocal fold epithelium is inherently highly

Precision Restoration to Minimize Soil Loss in a Watershed in the Atlantic Forest Domain
ABSTRACT The Turvo River Watershed, located in the Zona da Mata region of Minas Gerais and part of the Doce River Basin, faces serious problems of erosion and soil degradation, which compromise and reduce the quality of local water resources. Given this scenario, it is essential to implement environmental recovery strategies that prioritize the ...

ABSTRACT Bark beetles are small insects that inhabit the bark of trees. When their population increases excessively, they can weaken the trees and cause their death. In México, federal regulations obligate forest landowners to carry out sanitary logging to control bark beetle outbreaks in adherence to official procedures.

Computer simulations demonstrate that NaCaBr3 and NaCaI3 have suitable band gaps, strong optical absorption, and advantageous dielectric and conductive properties. The compounds exhibit structural stability, low thermal conductivity, and high melting points. Mechanical analysis shows they are ductile and stable.
