Dynamic Change of Polymer in Rice Analogues and Its Effect on Texture Quality by Ke Zhang, Yang Tian, Chenglong Liu, Wentong Xue

“…Macromolecules will leach from the inside of rice analogues (RA) to the external environment and form escaping substances (ES) when boiling in water for a long time. Some escaped substances adhere to the surface of cooked rice analogues (CRA) to form an adhesive layer (AL), which has an important impact on the cooking quality of RA. …”

Simultaneous Electrochemical Detection of Pb and Cd by Carbon Paste Electrodes Modified by Activated Clay by Niraka Blaise, Hambate Gomdje Valéry, Raja Maallah, Mohamed Oubaouz, Bakary Tigana Djonse Justin, Edwin Andrew Ofudje, Abdelilah Chtaini

“…It was observed that, after 5 minutes of preconcentration, detection limits of 0.15513 μmol·L−1 and 0.24227 μmol·L−1 were obtained for Pb2+ and Cd2+ in the electrolyte solution and 0.08438 μmol·L−1 and 0.46522 μmol·L−1, respectively, when tap water was used. The detection was effective by square wave voltammetry with a more intense current density with respect to lead.…”

Seepage Behavior of an Inclined Wall Earth Dam under Fluctuating Drought and Flood Conditions by Wei Ye, Fuheng Ma, Jiang Hu, Ziyang Li

“…The results show that after drought, the permeability coefficient of clay with low crack development was smaller than that of the saturated permeability, but for cracked areas, with high permeability, permeability coefficients were much larger than those of the saturated permeability. As the water level rose, cracks could heal themselves, but this healing was superficial, and the soil could no longer return to its predrought state. …”
