Revisiting the thermodynamics of hardening plasticity for unsaturated soils [PDF]

, 2010
A thermodynamically consistent extension of the constitutive equations of saturated soils to unsaturated conditions is often worked out through the use a unique 'effective' interstitial pressure, accounting equivalently for the pressures of the ...

Enhancing polyphenol synthesis and antioxidant activity in Camellia sinensis using shikimic and salicylic acids

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Camellia sinensis, widely consumed as tea, is the second most popular beverage globally and is valued for its health benefits. However, environmental stressors pose a significant challenge to the tea industry. This study investigates the potential of shikimic acid (ShA) and its derivative, salicylic acid (SA), as inducers to enhance

The Coupling Effect of Pore Water Pressure and Pore Water Gravity in Unsaturated Soils under Rainfall Condition and Its Influence on Slope Stability

Geofluids, 2022
In the study of the impact of rainfall on the unsaturated soil slope, the changes of pore water pressure and effective stress are frequently analyzed, while the loading effect caused by the change of pore water content in unsaturated soils is often ...

Modelling plasticity of unsaturated soils in a thermodynamically consistent framework [PDF]

, 2009
Constitutive equations of unsaturated soils are often derived in a thermodynamically consistent framework through the use a unique 'effective' interstitial pressure. This later is naturally chosen as the space averaged interstitial pressure.

The use of edible insects in human food

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract The world population is expected to reach approximately 10 billion people by 2050, which will significantly increase global food demand and may lead to agricultural shortages and a higher risk of food insecurity. In this context, this review discusses the potential of insects as alternative sources of animal protein, addressing their ...

Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometry: Fundamental Principles, Diverse Applications, and the Latest Technological Frontiers

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The review examines the evolution of chemical ionization mass spectrometry (CI‐MS), a technique developed in 1966 by Field and Munson. CI is a soft‐ionization method that produces more intense molecular ions with less fragmentation than electron ionization (EI).

Nano Delivery Strategy Opens Effective Avenues for the Treatment of Colorectal Cancer

Medicine Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Colorectal cancer (CRC) presents significant therapeutic challenges because of chemoresistance, systemic toxicity, and the complexity of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Nanodrug delivery systems (NDDS) have emerged as versatile platforms capable of overcoming these limitations by enhancing tumor accumulation, improving pharmacokinetics, and ...

Thermo-mechanical behaviour of a compacted swelling clay [PDF]

, 2008
Compacted unsaturated swelling clay is often considered as a possible buffer material for deep nuclear waste disposal. An isotropic cell permitting simultaneous control of suction, temperature and pressure was used to study the thermo-mechanical ...
