Quality Characteristics of Wholemeal Flour and Bread from Durum Wheat (Triticum turgidum L subsp. durum Desf.) after Field Treatment with Plant Water…
2015
The use of selected plant water extracts to control pests and weeds is gaining growing attention in organic and sustainable agriculture, but the effects that such extracts may exert on the quality aspects of durum wheat are still unexplored. In 2014, 5 plant water extracts (Artemisia arborescens, Euphorbia characias, Rhus coriaria, Thymus vulgaris, Lantana camara) were prepared and distributed on durum wheat cv Valbelice to evaluate their potential herbicidal effects. After crop harvesting, the major physicochemical and technological parameters of wholemeal flours obtained from each treatment were measured and compared with those from chemical weeding and untreated controls. A baking test w…
Authentication and identification of Saccharomyces cerevisiae‘flor’ yeast races involved in sherry ageing
2004
Yeasts involved in velum formation during biological ageing of sherry wine have to date been classified into four races of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (beticus, cheresiensis, montuliensis, rouxii) according to their abilities to ferment different sugars. It has been proposed that race succession during biological ageing is essential for the development of the organoleptical properties of sherry wines. In this work we studied the physiological characteristics, the molecular differentiation and the phylogenetic relationships of the four races employing type and reference strains from culture collections and natural environments. Using restriction analysis of the ribosomal region that includes th…
A grape and wine chemodiversity comparison of different appellations in Burgundy: vintage vs terroir effects.
2013
Abstract 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 (at harvest) and corresponding wines from four different vineyards, sampled immediately after the alcoholic fermentation over three successive vintages, were analysed by FTICR–MS. Thousands of metabolites that are specific to a given vintage, or a given class (wine, skin or must) could be revealed, thus emphasising a strong vintage effect. The same wines were reanalyzed after a few years in bot…
Comparative efficacy of Zataria multiflora Boiss., Origanum compactum and Eugenia caryophyllus essential oils against E. coli O157:H7, feline caliciv…
2013
Abstract Ready-to-eat salads using baby-leaf and multi-leaf mixes are one of the most promising developments in the fresh-cut food industry. There is great interest in developing novel decontamination treatments, which are both safe for consumers and more efficient against foodborne pathogens. In this study, emulsions of essential oils (EOs) from Origanum compactum (oregano), Eugenia caryophyllus (clove), and Zataria multiflora Boiss (zataria) were applied by spray (0.8 ml) after the sanitizing washing step. The aim was to investigate their ability to control the growth of potentially cross-contaminating pathogens and endogenous microbiota in commercial baby leaves, processed in a fresh-cut…
Multispectral imaging: narrow or wide band filters?
2014
This is an Open Access article. This is the publisher’s PDF originally published in Journal of the International Colour Association: http://aic-colour-journal.org/index.php/JAIC/article/view/149 In every aspect, spectral characteristics of filters play an important role in an image acquisition system. For a colorimetric system, traditionally, it is believed that narrow-band filters give rise to higher accuracy of colour reproduction, whereas wide-band filters, such as complementary colour filters, have the advantage of higher sensitivity. In the context of multispectral image capture, the objective is very often to retrieve an estimation of the spectral reflectance of the captured objects. …
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992) and David Lynch's Aesthetics of Frustration
2010
This article focuses on Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (David Lynch,1992), the prequel to the TV series produced by Mark Frost and David Lynch (1990-1991), which represents a turning point in Lynch's filmography. The author argues that the film's aesthetics frustrate viewer expectations, and especially the fan of the TV series, by addressing the issue of the film's relation to the TV series. Special attention is payed to the aesthetics of time passing and to the accumulation of unusual signs in the first part of the film, with reference to Deleuze and Michel Guiomar, and the way they lead the spectator, fan or neophyte, to expect something Fantastic to happen. The article then addresses the …
Botrening som bindeledd mellom institusjon og egen bolig - på vei til et rusfritt liv : En kvalitativ studie om muligheter og utfordringer i et botre…
2018
Masteroppgave psykisk helsearbeid ME504 - Universitetet i Agder 2018 Background: The transition from inpatient treatment to own accommodation, the so-called “backsliding zone”, should according to research and experience happen as a gradual process where each individual gets more increasing responsibility. In Tyrili the students are offered life skills training as a part of the course of the drug treatment. This offer contributes to strengthen each individual’s ability to master his or her own living- and life situation. The background of this study was to gain knowledge of how life skills training can contribute to a good transition for life after treatment. Problem statement and motivatio…
Tunisian tomato by-products, as a potential source of natural bioactive compounds.
2016
Consumption of tomato and tomato products is positively related to the reduction in cardiovascular disease and several types of cancer, thanks to the presence of natural compounds, such as antioxidants. Peels and seeds fractions of tomato, collected after industrial processing in Tunisian industries, were analysed for nutritional and antioxidants composition in perspective of its utilisation. Proximate composition, fatty acids profile, carotenoids, such as lycopene and beta-carotene, polyphenols contents, demonstrated the good potential of these residual products as a source of natural compounds, useful for food and nutraceuticals applications.
How a Second Mg2+ Ion Affects the Phosphoryl Transfer Mechanism in a Protein Kinase: A Computational Study
2020
<div>In this contribution, the phosphoryl transfer reaction in CDK2 has been studied in detail considering the presence of an additional Mg2+ ion in the active site. For this purpose, QM/MM (quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics) free energy calculations with the adaptive string method were performed, which showed that indeed the system containing two Mg2+ ions exhibits a lower activation free energy, corroborating the experimental observations.</div>

2014
There has been a shifting change that has been in process over the years. From a hospital oriented based care offer in psyciatric health care, to a more desentralised direction where the care is oritented through community-based service. The idea is that everyone is to receive individual and costumised help in the community where they live. One wishes that every being gets the help they need in the community so that they can have the opportunity to be integrated and live as a part of the community. The number of bedposts in psychiatric hospitals has decreased over the years, and the community-based services has increased the offer. At the same time it has been noticed that some people are r…
