The chemistry of death--Adipocere degradation in modern graveyards.
2015
The formation of adipocere slows further decomposition and preserves corpses for decades or even centuries. This resistance to degradation is a serious problem, especially with regard to the reuse of graves after regular resting times. We present results from an exhumation series in modern graveyards where coffins from water-saturated earth graves contained adipocere embedded in black humic material after resting times of about 30 years. Based on the assumption that this humic material resulted from in situ degradation of adipocere, its presence contradicts the commonly held opinion that adipocere decomposition only occurs under aerobic conditions. To test our hypothesis, we collected black…

Fluorescence and color as markers for the Maillard reaction in milk–cereal based infant foods during storage
2007
Abstract Free and total fluorescence compounds and color formation were measured in three different milk–cereal based infant foods stored at 25, 30 and 37 °C for 9 months to evaluate the advanced and final stages of the Maillard reaction. Milk–cereal infant foods containing honey (B) or fruits (C) had fluorescent values higher than sample (A) without them. This difference could be ascribed to the higher monosaccharide (fructose and/or glucose) content of (B) and (C), which could increase susceptibility to the Maillard reaction. However, for color increase (ΔE), no significant differences (p
Effect of pulsed electric field on Maillard reaction and hydroxymethylfurfural production
2020
Abstract As an emerging nonthermal processing technology, the application of pulsed electric field (PEF) has received increasing attention not only for its capability to inactivate enzymes and microorganisms or to enhance mass transfer during the extraction process but also for its potential to inhibit the formation of chemical contaminants during processing, such as the formation of hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). HMF is a potential carcinogen to humans that can be produced via the Maillard reaction (MR). Compared with thermal treatment, PEF can minimize the extent of MR, reducing the contents of HMF. However, in some cases, MR and HMR may be promoted, closely associated with PEF conditions a…
Climate Change Mitigation Potentials of Carbon Labels in the Aviation Industry
2018
This chapter discusses the climate change mitigation potentials of carbon labels in the aviation industry. As this study shows, there are significant differences in the environmental performance of individual flights, even when operated on the same route or by the same airline. Selecting one flight over another can significantly reduce the carbon dioxide emissions of a single air passenger. Nevertheless, the currently available measures, such as carbon calculators, are not capable of presenting these differences, leaving air passengers with no means of comparing individual flights. Therefore, the use of carbon labels could be highly beneficial because it would give air passengers the opport…
The emission reduction potentials of First Generation Electric Aircraft (FGEA) in Finland
2020
Under the looming climate crisis, aviation needs to find new solutions to cut its greenhouse gas emissions. One pathway towards zero emissions is the use of electric aircraft. While current battery technology will not allow for medium and long-haul flights at full capacity, on short-haul routes First Generation Electric Aircraft (FGEA) could play a significant role in the near future. Current FGEA under development could carry 9–19 passengers on distances of 400–1046 km by 2025. This study focuses on the emissions reduction potentials of FGEA in Finland. It compares the carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2-eq) emissions and real travel times (RTT) from door-to-door of FGEA on 47 routes with exist…
Lietišķo e-pastu reģistra analīze
2016
Mūsdienās elektroniskais pasts ir kļuvis par plaši izmantotu komunikācijas līdzekli uzņēmumos. Pētījuma mērķis bija noteikt lietišķo e-pastu reģistra izplatītākās iezīmes Latvijas azartspēļu uzņēmuma iekšējā un ārējā komunikācijā. Pētījumā tika izmantots Baibera un Konrāda (2009) reģistra analīzes modelis individuālajam e-pastam. Pētījuma rezultāti parādīja, ka lietišķajiem e-pastiem ir gan mutvārdu, gan rakstiskās diskursa īpašības. Lietišķo e-pastu izplatītākās iezīmes ir patstāvīgie darbības vārdi, lietvārdi, modālie darbības vārdi, personu vietniekvārdi, nozarē lietoti žargonismi un saīsinājumi. To lietojumu ietekmē situācijas konteksts , un to var sekmīgi pētīt, izmantojot Baibera un K…
Psychiatrists' Attitudes Toward Disruptive New Technologies: Mixed-Methods Study
2018
Background Recent discoveries in the fields of machine learning (ML), Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA), computerized adaptive testing (CAT), digital phenotype, imaging, and biomarkers have brought about a new paradigm shift in medicine. Objective The aim of this study was to explore psychiatrists’ perspectives on this paradigm through the prism of new clinical decision support systems (CDSSs). Our primary objective was to assess the acceptability of these new technologies. Our secondary objective was to characterize the factors affecting their acceptability. Methods A sample of psychiatrists was recruited through a mailing list. Respondents completed a Web-based survey. A quantitative…
Moderating cultural effects in a higher e-education context? Supervisor's tone of voice in recorded audio feedback
2017
Providing feedback to learners on their writing assignments is one of the most important and time-consuming tasks that a supervisor performs. In e-Education environments, especially in the case of distance learning, giving feedback becomes more challenging because there are often no opportunities for face-to-face interaction. Typically, a supervisor provides comments to learners in written form via email; however, the use of recorded audio feedback (RAF) in e-Education environments has become a viable alternative. This work in progress reports on learners’ perceptions of RAF in a multi-cultural higher eEducation context. Our observations indicate that learners tend to have positive feelings…
Contributo allo studio sul valore probatorio delle e-mail
2019
L'autore affronta il problema, assai dibattuto, della natura e del conseguente valore probatorio dell'e-mail. Dopo aver passato in rassegna le possibili soluzioni conclude per la natura di documento informatico sottoscritto con firma semplice. Invero la firma elettronica (analogamente a quanto accade per altre fattispecie, come gli acquisti di beni e servizi presso piattaforme online) è apposta nell'e-mail attraverso un procedimento a formazione progressiva, nel corso del quale il firmatario è chiamato ad autenticarsi tramite le proprie credenziali (username e password), a navigare e digitare il messaggio in modalità “autenticata” e a confermare la propria volontà di inviare il messaggio at…
