Edible Alginate–Fungal Chitosan Coatings as Carriers for <i>Lacticaseibacillus casei</i> LC03 and Their Impact on Quality Parameters of Strawberries During Cold Storage by Camila Vilela da Silva Simões, Thayza Christina Montenegro Stamford, Lúcia Raquel Ramos Berger, Alessandra Silva Araújo, José Alberto da Costa Medeiros, Mariane Cajubá de Britto Lira Nogueira, Maria Manuela Estevez Pintado, Silvana Magalhães Salgado, Marcos Antonio Barbosa de Lima

“…The edible coating with <i>L. casei</i> microencapsulated in alginate and coated with fungal chitosan (CACLM) significantly improved strawberry preservation by maintaining pH (3.16 ± 0.41), titratable acidity (0.94 ± 0.20), moisture (90.74 ± 0.27), and microbial quality, and delayed the decrease in total phenolic compounds (below 40%) during the storage time of strawberries. While coatings with free <i>L. casei</i> (CALF) slightly reduced color parameters (<i>L*</i> value 29.13 ± 2.05), those with chitosan (CACLM) demonstrated lower weight loss (below 6%). …”

Performance of RIS-Secured Short-Packet NOMA Systems With Discrete Phase-Shifter to Protect Digital Content and Copyright Against Untrusted User by Nguyen Quang Sang, Hye-Young Kim, Tan N. Nguyen, Minh Bui Vu, Phuong T. Tran, Tran Trung Duy, Byung-Seo Kim, Miroslav Voznak

“…Meanwhile, to meet high spectrum utilization, Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) has emerged as a potential technology in the last decade, for its ability to serve multi-user communication simultaneously by exploiting power-domain rather than time or frequency domains. Especially, incorporating Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) with NOMA/SPC-based systems can further boost the system&#x2019;s spectral efficiency as well as enhance communication coverage. …”

DETERMINATION OF TECHNOPARK ACTIVITY BY REGULATORY AND LEGISLATIVE ACTS by Nikolay S. Novikov, Irina V. Karpova

“…In the regulatory framework, we are talking about industrial parks, but in accordance with the explanations offered in the regulatory legal acts, such remarks should also be attributed to technoparks as more complex organizations of partner activity: «It was difficult to call such sites industrial parks, since at that time there was not even a terminological unity in the concept of «industrial park», not to mention determining the compliance of a legal entity with the criteria of an industrial park management company, typologies of industrial parks and minimum requirements for the site itself. …”
