We evaluated the chemical composition and antioxidant activity of 30 red wines from Austria (cv. Cabernet-Sauvignon, Blaufraenkisch Zweigelt) 20 Montenegro Cabernet-Sauvignon Vranac) three consecutive vintages: 2014, 2015 2016. determined spectrophotometrically contents total phenol (TP), anthocyanin (TA) low- high-molecular-weight proanthocyanidins (LMP HMP respectively). identified quantified...

the glass transition temperature (tg) and the melting temperature (tm) of gelatin at water contents between 7 and 14% were measured using differential scanning calorimetry.  the plasticisation of the polymer by water led to a decrease in tg and tm. the tg of partially crystalline gelatin was higher than that of the amorphous one obtained by quenching from the melt. the enthalpy relaxation occur...

The femtosecond transient absorption (TA) characterization of a new benzothiadiazole (BT)-based donor-acceptor conjugated copolymer, poly[(2,6-dithieno[3,2-b:2',3'-d]thiophene)-alt-(4,7-di(4-octyldodecylthiopen-2-yl)-2,1,3-benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole (PBT), as well as its fluorinated derivatives, PFBT and PDFBT, is carried out. Additionally, bulk heterojunction (BHJ) films consisting of the copo...

High sp fraction tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) films can be prepared using the filtered cathodic vacuum arc ~FCVA!. A by-product of the deposition process are small micrometer sized graphitic particles which are also incorporated into the film. The particle coverage of FCVA films is typically ,5%, and thus the effect of these graphite inclusions have been largely ignored in earlier optica...

The main purpose of this paper is to compare the actual transpiration rates from tomato crop, as measured at leaf scale and estimated by a macroscopic approach in an agro-hydrological model, named FLOWS-HAGES, under variable soil properties water availability. To aim, sixteen plots were cultivated with tomatoes Metaponto, Southern Italy. Soil hydraulic (SHP) obtained using fast in-situ characte...

In this paper we study the effect of introducing nitrogen into different carbon networks. Two kinds of carbon nitride films were deposited: (a) Using a DC-magnetron sputtering system sp bonded carbon nitride (a-CN) films were deposited and (b) Using a 2 combination of filtered cathodic vacuum arc and a low-pressure N plasma source, N was introduced into sp carbon networks 3 2 (ta-C), leading to...

Caloric restriction (CR) delays the onset of age-related mitochondrial abnormalities but does not prevent the decline in ATP production needed to sustain muscle protein fractional synthesis rate (FSR) and contractile activity. We hypothesized that improving mitochondrial activity and FSR using a CR diet with maintained protein intakes could enhance myofibrillar protein FSR and consequently impr...

Suspensions or solutions with 1% of Chinese galls (Galla chinensis, GC) or 1% of tannic acid (TA), inhibited germination of conidia or mycelium growth of Fusarium graminearum (FG) by 98%-100% or by 75%-80%, respectively, whereas dried bark from buckthorn (Frangula alnus, FA) showed no effect at this concentration. In climate chamber experiments where the wheat variety "Apogee" was artificially ...

The advantage of a case-based ...

This paper summarizes the main areas of research within TA Weinberg, namely an investigation into code review ability and personality; an investigation into code comprehension and personality; and an investigation into the results from an online programming competition and personality. With regard to code review, it was discovered that there is a relationship between code review ability and per...
