Effects of ultrasonication on electrical and self-sensing properties for fiber-reinforced cementitious composites containing MWCNTs by Jin-Seok Woo, Ai-Hua Jin, Hyun-Do Yun, Junhee Yu, Je Hyun Bae, Sun-Woo Kim, Soo-Yeon Seo, Gun-Cheol Lee, Seongwon Hong, Kang-Soo Kim, Sangyoung Han

“…These results were validated by the strongest linear correlation observed between fractional change in resistance and compressive strain, with an R2 value of 0.935, outperforming other specimens. Furthermore, the proposed method enables well-dispersed MWCNTs to be integrated into a pre-mixed cementitious composite using the standardized mixing method, making it adaptable to a variety of cementitious mixtures. …”

Effect of extracted phycocyanin by-products as a synbiotic supplement on the production performance and intestinal morphology of broilers by Kannikar Hamprakorn, Buaream Maneewan, Wantamas Jantasin, Mohd Nizam Lani, Tossapol Moonmanee, Julakorn Panatuk

“…We investigated the effects of dietary synbiotic supplements on the growth performance, meat quality, intestinal morphology, and cecal bacterial population of broiler chickens aged 35 days. Results: Synbiotics used as a dietary supplement did not affect the growth performance of broilers during any experimental period (p > 0.05); however, it significantly increased the redness of meat and decreased the levels of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances on days 3 and 7 of storage (p < 0.05). …”
