The Characterization and Functional Properties of Euglena gracilis Paramylon Treated with Different Methods by Liwei Gao, Xinjie Zhao, Xiangzhong Zhao

“…The results showed that the crystallinity of EGP degraded by H2O2 and carboxymethylated modification decreased by 14% and 46%, and the thermal degradation temperature was significantly descending in a crystallinity-dependent manner. In addition, the results showed that H2O2 degradation and carboxymethylation significantly improved the adsorption capacity of EGP for oil, dyes, and metal ions, and their water solubility increased by 9% and 85%. …”

Postural Synergies and Their Development by Mark L. Latash, Vijaya Krishnamoorthy, John P. Scholz, Vladimir M. Zatsiorsky

“…This approach, the uncontrolled manifold (UCM) hypothesis, is based on an assumption that the central nervous system organizes covariation of elemental variables to stabilize important performance variables in a task-specific manner. In particular, this approach has been used to demonstrate and to assess the emergence of synergies and their modification with motor practice in typical persons and persons with Down syndrome. …”
