Johari-Goldstein relaxation far below Tg: Experimental evidence for the Gardner transition in structural glasses?

, 2017
Experimental evidence for the Gardner transition, theoretically predicted to arise deep in the glassy state of matter, is scarce. At this transition, the energy landscape sensed by the particles forming the glass is expected to become more complex.

Safety assessment of inhaled xylitol in mice and healthy volunteers

Respiratory Research, 2004
Background Xylitol is a 5-carbon sugar that can lower the airway surface salt concentration, thus enhancing innate immunity. We tested the safety and tolerability of aerosolized iso-osmotic xylitol in mice and human volunteers.

Xylitol

U.Porto Journal of Engineering, 2022
The main purpose of this project was the eco-valorisation of the tomato plant residues. The chemical product design method was used to select the best idea based on 4 steps: needs, ideas, selection, and manufacturing. Liquid xylitol is here proposed for the valorisation of tomato plant residues, which is an alternative sweetener with a lower glycemic ...
