...processing and preservation methods. Acid preservation is a well-known method to preserve food, where the aim is to reduce the pH below 4.5 to inhibit microbial growth. To evaluate the effectiveness of acid preservation, a shelf-life experiment was conducted with Saccharina latissima and Alaria esculenta...

...carbohydrate polymers for packaging and other biobased materials. However, their exploitation is currently limited by a short harvest season and a lack of cost-effective and sustainable methods to preserve biopolymer quality. In the present study, cultivated Saccharina latissima (SL) and Alaria esculenta (AE) were...

...life, and its demand is continuously increasing with the rapid growth in population, while the freshwater reserves are also depleting. A large amount of wastewater is released by different industries, which is affecting the environment as well as polluting the freshwater reserves. Recycling and treatment...

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are bioaccumulative and associated with adverse effects in both wildlife and humans. The occurrence of 33 PFASs was assessed in the plasma, liver, blubber, and brain of 18 Baikal seals (Phoca sibirica) (16 pups and 2 adult females) from Lake Baikal, Russia...

... CHARISMA, and Easi-stress - organised a collaborative workshop to increase awareness of their contributions to the industry "commons" in terms of characterisation and digital transformation. They have established interoperability standards for knowledge management in characterisation and introduced...

...particles (TWPs) are identified as an important source of microplastics, but reported particulate emission volumes and environmental concentrations are highly variable, both spatially and temporarily. Furthermore, TWPs are known to contain a high proportion of potentially hazardous chemicals, many of...

...both standard slip cast crucible and standard coating as well as ultra clean crucible and coating. Also the conditions during crystallisation were varied. The ingots were characterised for lifetime and dislocation density. The ingots made using ultra clean coating and crucibles showed higher lifetime...

As the oil and gas industry is developing new and more difficult fields, new challenges are encountered and must be solved. Pipeline and riser technology must be developed to handle increasingly deeper water, high temperature, multi-phase flow situations, wax and hydrate problems and large deformation...
