Commercial shipping cannot readily reduce its dependency on fossil fuels. Ships are large energy consumers and need to carry sufficient fuel for a voyage. The principle of green steaming, when ships travel at slower speeds to arrive just-in-time, is discussed and a methodology developed to estimate the carbon savings resulting if the industry were to adopt this practice. The method is based on ...

Sea lettuce (Ulva rigida) is an underutilized green macroalga. Scant knowledge and understanding exist regarding the optimal processing technologies to maximize seaweed nutrition. Pretreatment of sea before drying, either by blanching or steaming, induced diverse physical biological property changes. Greenness increased, while lightness the-sea reduced. Both drying processes reduced textural pa...

Oxidative etching of graphene flakes was observed to initiate from edges and the occasional defect sites in the basal plane, leading to reduced lateral size and a small number of etch pits. In contrast, etching of highly defective graphene oxide and its reduced form resulted in rapid homogeneous fracturing of the sheets into smaller pieces. On the basis of these observations, a slow and more co...

Cooking methods affect the compositions of Lentinus edodes metabolites. Nevertheless, little information is available on specific impact different cooking via metabolomic analysis. This study determined influence boiling, steaming, air-frying, and roasting profiles based UHPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS/MS in combination with chemometrics. A total 990 metabolites were detected classified into 11 su...
