This paper presents a finite volume discretization of two-phase Darcy flows in discrete fracture networks taking into account the mass exchange between the matrix and the fracture. We consider the asymptotic model for which the fractures are represented as interfaces of codimension one immersed in the matrix domain, leading to the so called hybrid dimensional Darcy flow model. The pressures at ...

A number of recent research studies have demonstrated that providing glucose and fructose together in a beverage consumed during exercise results in significantly higher oxidation rates of exogenous carbohydrate (CHO) than consuming glucose alone. However, there is insufficient evidence to determine whether the increased exogenous CHO oxidation improves endurance performance. The purpose of thi...

The resistance of Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp. and Escherichia coli 0157:H7 to high pressure processing (HPP) in an acidic whey protein beverage (pH 3.8) was evaluated. Five strains of each pathogen were grown to stationary phase at 35°C following two 24-hour transfers. Cells were harvested by centrifugation (2450 rpm, 25°C, 15 min), washed and re-suspended in 0.85% (w/v) sodium chlo...

Beverage intake can influence child diet quality in a positive or negative manner depending on the beverage type and amounts consumed. Parenting practices such as role modeling and control of home beverage availability have been associated with child beverage intake, whereas examination of the influence of parental beverage nutrition knowledge has been more limited. The purpose of this study wa...

Background and Objectives: Production and consumption of freshly-cut fruits have been increased in recent decades.  One of the major problems in storage of freshly-cut fruits, the color change, is a result of the oxidative reactions of phenolic compounds by polyphenol oxidases. Various treatments such as coating and refrigeration are used to improve quality and shelf-life of the fresh-cut fruit...

Abstract This article engages Sergei Bulgakov’s doctrine of divine wisdom with key reference to the work Sophia Wisdom God . It is proposed that Bulgakov viewed life Orthodox Church as a form living wisely within world. Following general overview his Sophia, it shown Mariology and Eucharist indicators The closes Reformed reflection.

The robust stabilization is studied for two dimensions discrete time singular systems described by the second FornasiniMarchesini models (2-D SFMMII) with uncertainty parameters. A new sufficient condition of the robust stabilization of 2-D SFMM-II is presented. Based on this new criterion a desired state feedback controller can be constructed by solving a set of linear matrix inequality (LMI) ...

BACKGROUND High intake of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) is linked to increased weight, energy intake, and diabetes. Even though the increasing interest on beverages and water intake, there are few dietary tools carefully validated. The purpose of this paper is to compare a fluid intake 7-day diary against a 24-h recall questionnaire to estimate the fluid consumption in overweight and obese wo...
