The limitations of intensity scoring when describing the odor characteristics of a complex product have been documented in the literature. In the present work, the odor properties of 12 Burgundy Pinot noir wines were described by two independent panels performing, respectively, an intensity-base...

Previous analysis of carotenoids extracted from the burgundy plumage of the Pompadour Cotinga (Xipholena punicea) revealed six novel keto-carotenoid pigments with methoxyl groups in the C3-position of one or both β-rings. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), mass spectrometry, chemica...

This study aimed at assessing the ability of high resolution Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance – Mass Spectrometry (FTICR–MS) to differentiate grapes and corresponding wines from distinct vineyards managed by a same producer, according to complex chemical fingerprints. Grape extracts (...

Logos on environmental sustainability could consist of an effective strategy to provide consumers with accurate, understandable and trustworthy information to encourage them to buy environmentally sustainable wines. However, the large number of different logos indicating environmental sustainabi...

Recent advances in the fields of chromatography, mass spectrometry, and chemical analysis have greatly improved the efficiency with which carotenoids can be extracted and analyzed from avian plumage. Prior to these technological developments, Brush (1968) [1] concluded that the burgundy-colored ...

Context: The evaluation of national cancer plans is an important aspect of their implementation. For this evaluation, the principal actors in the field (doctors, nurses, etc.) as well as decision-makers must have access to information that is reliable, synthetic and easy to interpret, and which ...

The premise was to adapt a conventional beef burgundy model for use in microwave cooking (MC) whilst preserving nutritional and eating qualities. The effects of specific power and different cooking times were measured by meat tenderness, Nε-carboxymethyllysine (CML), lysine, polyphenol contents...

Simulation is currently routinely applied in many aluminum foundries as a standard tool. The accuracy of casting simulation depends to a large extent on the quality of the available physical and thermo-physical properties of the material provided by the software’s database. The available databa...

In this study, nano-silicon (Si) thin films were deposited on biodegradable Mg–6Zn–0.8Mn–3Ca substrates by physical vapor deposition (PVD) method. Subsequently, nano-hydroxyapatite (HA) was coated as a second layer on the nano-Si film using electrochemical deposition (ED). The surface morphol...

Different amount of silicon and calcium additions have been carried out on Mg–6% Zn–0.5% Mn alloy and its effect on corrosion behavior is investigated. DC polarization and immersion tests were carried out on the extruded rods, which contain different amounts of silicon and calcium. Small amoun...

To explore the potential of acid leaching in purifying metallurgical grade silicon (MG-Si) for solar cell applications, the effect of silicon microstructure on its leaching behavior was systematically investigated in the present work by a combination of alloying refining with acid etching. The m...

The influence of silicon and calcium on corrosion behaviour of Mg–6Zn–Mn alloys was investigated in alkaline solutions. The corrosion behaviour of the alloys with varied silicon and calcium content mainly depends on volume fractions and morphology of the intermetallics. In Cl-ion-free solution...

The development of new wrought magnesium alloys for automotive industry has increased in recent years due to their high potential as structural materials for low density and high strength/weight ratio demands. However, the poor mechanical properties of the magnesium alloys have led to search a n...

A cellular automaton (CA) model, which is directly coupled with thermodynamic calculations based on the CALPHAD method, is developed for the simulation of ferrite (α)-austenite (γ) phase transformations involving the partitioning and long-range diffusion of both interstitial and substitutional...

The Sanicro 25 austenitic steel is foreseen as a potential material for steam superheaters and reheaters in ultra-supercritical power plants. The aim of investigation was to characterize in detail an oxide scale grown on the Sanicro 25 tube after fireside oxidation at 650 °C. The morphology of ...

Evolution of the surface profile in room temperature cyclic loading has been studied in high alloy austenitic Sanicro 25 stainless steel. The localization of the cyclic plastic strain into persistent slip bands in the volume of the material leads to the formation of the specific surface relief i...

Microstructure and dislocation structures in high alloyed heat resistant Sanicro 25 austenitic steel cyclically strained in a wide interval of constant strain amplitudes both at room temperature and at temperature of 700 °C were studied by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The sp...

The damage evolution behavior of a novel Sanicro 25 alloy was investigated based on low-cycle fatigue tests at 700 °C. The results show that at relatively low total strain amplitude (Δεt/2), the dispersed damage was dominant, which led to prolonged fatigue life. However, at relatively high Δ...

The initial stage of oxidation reactions at the surface of the stainless steel Sanicro 28 (Fe31Cr27Ni) exposed to KCl, NaCl, or K2CO3 in flowing dry and humid air at 535 °C was investigated using chronoamperometry, SEM–EDX and XPS. All studied salts accelerated the corrosion process. Na+ resul...

Creep deformation of an advanced high-strength, creep-resistant austenitic stainless steel Sanicro 25 was investigated experimentally at temperatures from 700 °C to 800 °C and stresses below 40 MPa. Results show that the creep behaviour is qualitatively similar as that of the other creep-resis...
