Absorption kinetics of three different forms of the same iron-based oxygen scavenger were studied. Oxygen scavengers were used as pellet, sheet, and film materials. Two scavenger concentrations were used for sheet and film ...

The use of piezoelectric materials for the development of electromechanical devices for the harvesting or scavenging of ambient vibrations has been extensively studied over the last decade. The energy conversion from ...

We study potential scavenging of hydrogen peroxide by Allyl Methyl Sulfide and Diallyl Sulfide, two garlic components. The antioxidant properties of garlic are attributed to organosulfide compounds, which react with reactive ...

A more complete perspective of carrion use by terrestrial vertebrates and about the role of predators in net carrion supply will improve our understanding of critical ecological processes, particularly those associated ...

In this work a new semiconductor based on calcium heterojunction (CaO/CaTiO3) was evaluated to the optical properties correlated to crystalline lattice defects. The heterojunctions of the semiconductor were prepared by the ...

As components of phospholipids and glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchors, fatty acids are responsible for forming the core of biological membranes and the correct localization of proteins within membranes. They also contribute ...

Linear resonant harvesters have been the most common type of generators used to scavenge energy from mechanical vibrations. When subject to harmonic excitation, good performance is achieved once the device is tuned so that ...

The hosts for Antricola delacruzi ticks are insectivorous, cave-dwelling bats on which only larvae are found. The mouthparts of nymphal and adult A. delacruzi are compatible with scavenging feeding because the hypostome ...
