(MDPI, 2020-08-03)
In the coffee industry, several by-products are generated during the production and consumption of coffee and represent an important waste from an environmental viewpoint. For improving the knowledge about this issue, a ...
Reducing Passive Drug Diffusion from Electrophoretic DrugDelivery Devices through Co-Ion Engineering
(Wiley, 2021-06)
Implantable electrophoretic drug delivery devices have shown promise for applications ranging from treating pathologies such as epilepsy and cancer to regulating plant physiology. Upon applying a voltage, the devices ...
Cementitious materials as promising radiative coolers for solar cells
(Cell Press, 2022-11)
Nowadays, radiative coolers are extensively investigated for the thermal management of solar cells with the aim of improving their performance and lifetime. Current solutions rely on meta-materials with scarce elements or ...
Valorization of Insulation Cellulose Waste as Solid Biomass Fuel
(MDPI, 2021-09-04)
This paper investigates the ability of insulation cellulose fiber powder (CFP) to be pelletized for its valorization as biomass fuel. CFP is a waste originating from insulation cellulose manufacturing that lacks any method ...
Stabilization of a Clay Soil Using Cementing Material from Spent Refractories and Ground-Granulated Blast Furnace Slag
(MDPI, 2021-03-10)
Nowadays, huge amounts of refractory materials are generated around the world. The majority of them lack valorization methods. This study analyzes the ability of a doloma and two magnesia spent refractory wastes as soil ...
Does Finishing at Pasture Influence the Colour of Muscle from Suckler Bulls and Can Colour Be Used to Authenticate Their Pre-Slaughter Diet?
(MDPI, 2022-07)
[EN] The primary objective of this study was to compare the colour of muscle from bulls finished at pasture or indoors on a high concentrate diet. The ancillary objectives were to identify possible explanations for any ...
Dairy Product Consumption and Changes in Cognitive Performance: Two-Year Analysis of the PREDIMED-Plus Cohort
(Wiley, 2022-07)
[EN] Scope Dairy consumption has been suggested to impact cognition; however, evidence is limited and inconsistent. This study aims to longitudinally assess the association between dairy consumption with cognitive changes ...
Imaging Ultrasound Propagation Using the Westervelt Equation by the Generalized Kudryashov and Modified Kudryashov Methods
(MDPI, 2022-11-21)
This article deals with the study of ultrasound propagation, which propagates the mechanical vibration of the molecules or of the particles of a material. It measures the speed of sound in air. For this reason, the third-order ...
