The Effect of the Application of Edible Coatings on or before Ultraviolet Treatment on Postharvested Longan Fruits by Mee Gie Lin, Ola Lasekan, Nazamid Saari, Siti Khairunniza-Bejo

“…UV plus carrageenan coating showed relatively higher weight loss and respiration rate, with cell structure exhibiting bigger intercellular spaces at the end of storage. Therefore, application of UV treatment followed by chitosan coating was found to be the best treatment combination for controlling enzymatic activities and reducing senescence rate of longan fruits.…”

Environmental Surveillance for SARS-CoV-2 in Two Restaurants from a Mid-scale City that Followed U.S. CDC Reopening Guidance by Hongwan Li, Sripriya Nannu Shankar, Chiran T. Witanachchi, John A. Lednicky, Julia C. Loeb, Md. Mahbubul Alam, Z. Hugh Fan, Karim Mohamed, Jessica A. Boyette, Arantzazu Eiguren-Fernandez, Chang-Yu Wu

“…The likelihood that patrons and staff acquire SARS-CoV-2 infections may be low in restaurants in a mid-scale city that adopt CDC restaurant reopening guidance, such as operation at 50% capacity so that tables can be spaced at least 6 feet apart, establishment of adequate mechanical ventilation, use of a face covering except while eating or drinking, and implementation of disinfection measures.…”

Dielectric spectroscopy and TD-NMR investigation for assessing water solid dynamics in normal and wooden breast chicken by Francesca Soglia, Eleonora Iaccheri, Luca Laghi, Luigi Ragni, Pedro José Fito Suñer, Massimiliano Petracci

“…This was confirmed by TD-NMR, evidencing a significant increase in the relative intensity of the proton population ascribable to the extra-myofibrillar water (32.9 vs. 21.5%; P<0.001) along with a reduction of the one occupying the intra-myofibrillar spaces (62.0 vs. 75.4%; P<0.001). These outcomes may be ascribed to the re-organization of the skeletal muscle structure associated with the onset and progression of the WB abnormality.…”

Miniaturization Potential of Additive-Manufactured 3D Mechatronic Integrated Device Components Produced by Stereolithography by Niklas Piechulek, Lei Xu, Jan Fröhlich, Patrick Bründl, Jörg Franke

“…Electric circuits are successfully formed on substrates printed with resin mixed with Laser Direct Structuring (LDS) additives, following laser structuring and metallization processes, with a minimum conductor spacing of 150 µm. Furthermore, through the integration of through-holes (vias) and the use of smaller package chips, such as Ball Grid Array (BGA) and Quad Flat No-lead (QFN), the circuits achieve further miniaturization and establish reliable electrical connections via soldering. …”
