Effect of Maturity and Environmental Conditions on Chemical Composition of Olive Oils of Introduced Cultivars in Morocco by Samira El Qarnifa, Abderraouf El Antari, Abdellatif Hafidi

“…The fatty acid composition of extra virgin olive oil showed a significant increase of linoleic acid and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and a decrease of oleic acid, palmitic acid, monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), and MUFA/PUFA ratio as the maturation process progressed. A significant gradual decrease was noted in total phenol content and bitterness intensity from the green stage to the black. …”

Study on the stability of excavation process of permafrost subgrade slope in Alpine region by Zhilong Zhang, Jiyang Zhang, Jiangang Chen, Jing Luo, Bingbing Lei

“…The findings indicate that lower water content correlates with reduced shear strength at the frost-thaw interface; moreover, both cohesion and internal friction angle of soil samples diminish progressively with increasing water content. Under identical temporal conditions, slopes with gentler gradients exhibit relatively shallower thawing depths and demonstrate enhanced stability.When comparing slopes with equivalent ratios and initial water contents, it was observed that maximum thawing depth in frozen soils decreases over time as construction delays occur; thus, later construction leads to diminished impacts on slope stability alongside accelerated freezing rates. …”

Mast cells: key players in digestive system tumors and their interactions with immune cells by Feihong Shu, Jie Yu, Youjia Liu, Fang Wang, Guoyou Gou, Min Wen, Chen Luo, Xianmin Lu, Yanxia Hu, Qian Du, Jingyu Xu, Rui Xie

“…Specifically, mast cells not only secrete mediators related to pro-tumor function such as trypsin-like enzymes, chymotrypsin, vascular endothelial cell growth factor and histamine, but also mediators related to anti-tumor progression such as cystatin C and IL-17F. This dual role of mast cells renders them an under-recognized but very promising target for tumor immunotherapy. …”
