The quality of ultrasonic images depends on array configuration, image beamforming algorithm, propagation modes and signal-to-noise ratio. Some alternatives to improve image quality are related to the use of coherence ...

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of different \home cooking techniques (boiling, steaming, and stir-frying) in kale and red cabbage, on the levels of bioactive compounds (carotenoids, anthocyanins and ...

Whisky has traditionally been assessed by expert blenders with many years of experience, by comparison of samples with experience or a reference. Vocabularies of descriptive terms have been used, which have often been ...

The encapsulation of bioactive compounds is an emerging technique for finding new medicines since it provides protection against ambient degradation factors before reaching the target site. Nanotechnology provides new ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of gamma radiation on the phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity of apple pomace flour (0,1 and 2 kGy dose at times of 0,3, 6 and 9 months) during storage using ...

Ti K-edge x-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES) and Raman scattering were used to study the solid solution effects on the structural and vibrational properties of Pb(1-x)Ba(x)Zr(0.65)Ti(0.35)O(3) with 0.0 < x < ...

Piezoelectric array transducers applications are becoming usual in the ultrasonic non-destructive testing area. However, the number of elements can increase the system complexity, due to the necessity of multichannel ...
