The kinetics of heat denaturation and aggregation for beta-lactoglobulin dispersions (5% w/v) were studied at 3 pHs (6, 6.4, and 6.8) and at a heating temperature of 80 degrees C. Protein aggregates were characterized for ...

The two-dimensional fractal dimension (Df) of large aggregates of kaolin (> 540 μm) during the shear flocculation process for kaolin solution was investigated using non-intrusive in situ image-based acquisition system. ...

Decomposition of plant material influences soil aggregation dynamics in ways that are still poorly understood, especially for Oxisols, in which oxides are believed to play a dominant role. In an incubation experiment, we ...

Consumption is an important macroeconomic aggregate, being about 70% of GNP. Finding sub-optimal behavior in consumption decisions casts a serious doubt on whether optimizing behavior is applicable on an economy-wide scale, ...

Soil aggregation and its effects on soil C storage have been addressed in thousands of research articles over the last 40 years. Research has been mostly focused on the resistance of aggregates to mechanical disruption and ...

The production of cloned equine embryos remains highly inefficient. Embryo aggregation has not yet been tested in the equine, and it might represent an interesting strategy to improve embryo development. This study evaluated ...
