The Vacuum Freeze Drying (VFD) process is a low temperature drying technique that can be used for... food preservation. The aim of this work is to evaluate how VFD operating conditions affect the amount of some nutritional compounds of eggplants (Solanum melongena L.).
The proposed contribution is the start of a research project on the conservation and care of the ...memory of urban contexts that are changing and that, while changing, it is desirable to preserve traces of past evolutions.
Self-healing concrete has the potential to optimise traditional design approaches; however, comme...rcial uptake requires the ability to harmonize against standardized frameworks. Within EU SARCOS COST Action, different interlaboratory tests were executed on different self-healing techniques.
Biocompatible and biodegradable polymers represent the future in the manufacturing of medical implantable solutions. As of today, these are generally manufactured with metallic components which cannot be naturally absorbed within the human body. This requires performing an additional surgical procedure to remove the remnants after complete rehabilitation or to leave the devices in situ indefinitely.
