In this work, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were employed to investigate the effects of duty cycle changes and utilization of tantalum nitride interlayer on the surface roughness and adhesion of Ta coating deposited by pulsed-DC plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition. To examine the simulation results, some selected deposition conditions were experimentally implemented and characterize...

The changes in some physicochemical properties, sugar, organic acid and volatile compound contents fresh Verdani grape (Vitis vinifera L.) juice (FGJ) were evaluated the production of its traditional molasses (pekmez). After production, total soluble solid (TSS), titratable acidity (TA), glucose, fructose, malic, citric succinic concentrations increased (P

  Despite improvements in surgical and anesthetic techniques, total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is still associated with substantial blood loss and postoperative anemia (1). A considerable portion of patients with postoperative anemia require blood transfusion, which has been shown to negatively affect the outcome of TJA and predisposes patients to development of surgical site infection and peripr...

Blackberries are very perishable with a limited shelf life due to high metabolic activity and susceptibility mechanical damage microbial attack. The effect of edible coatings (EC) based on candelilla wax (CW) guar gum (GG) the quality, life, bioactive-compounds content antioxidant blackberries stored at 25 ± 2 °C for 6 days, was evaluated. All EC contained GG (0.4%) gallic acid (GA)(0.06%); EC1...

Tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.) are the most cultivated and consumed vegetable species in world deserve special attention due to their nutritional functional value. The aim of this study was assess value organically grown tomatoes greenhouses, at different maturity phases. Five hybrids were studied: Antalya F1, Cemile Lorely Tiger F1 Sacher F1. observed parameters each harvest phase were: Co...
