Chemical field effect transistors (ChemFETs) have been fabricated and adapted to the ammonium ion detection thanks to polysiloxane ionosensitive layers. The chip design and packaging process have been optimized to be adapted to a specific flow head measurement system. Experimental results evidence quasinernstian response for the pNH4 measurement. This microsensor will be used for water analysis...

Different modified atmosphere conditions with various CO2 concentrations on microbial load (psychrophile, mesophile aerobic and anaerobic bacteria) and physico-chemical properties of barramundi (Lates  calcarifer Bloch) fillets stored at 8°C were compared to determine the best packaging conditions. The gas conditions evaluated were 100% CO2 (M1), 75% CO2/25% N2 (M2), 50% CO2/50% N2 (M3), 25% CO...

In the present study, packaging of a greenhouse-grown tomato on the culture medium containing 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% compost tea under modified atmosphere: MA (88%N2 + 8%CO2 + 4%O2) in polyethylene and nanosilicon-polyethylene bags was studied at 5°C for 30 days. Several quality parameters such as moisture content, pH, total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA), Vitamin C content, text...

The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of dipping time and temperature of hot water and type of packaging on qualitative traits of Orlando tangelo variety of tangerine. This study was conducted as a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with three repeats. The treatments consisted of dipping in hot water at seven water levels at 53°C and 58°C each for 1, 2 and 4 minutes...

conclusions perceived social support is the most important factor that influences health-promoting behaviors. increasing social support by enhancing self-efficacy and decreasing perceived barriers can improve health-promoting behaviors among veterans. background health-promoting behaviors can enhance physical and mental health among individuals with disability, particularly veterans. objectives...

The success of printing technology in the electronics industry primarily depends on the availability of metal printing ink. Various types of commercially available metal ink are widely used in different industries such as the solar cell, radio frequency identification (RFID) and light emitting diode (LED) industries, with limited usage in semiconductor packaging. The use of printed ink in semic...

background and objectives: edible parts of pomegranate fruits are a rich source of bioactive compounds. the present research examines the effect of modified atmosphere packaging on the fruit physico-chemical and microbial properties of two commercial pomegranate cultivars grown in iran. materials and methods: the arils were packaged and stored under four different atmospheres. all of the packag...

food packaging is inseparable step of the process, storage, distribution and marketing of the product. proper packaging increases the shelf life of food; for this reason that is one of the main characteristics in the food industry. one of the new concepts in food packaging is bio packaging, that is developed to respond to the needs of consumers and food products with higher durability. using ed...

for companies operating in the age of convergence of the quality of the products, differentiation is inevitable. packaging as a differentiation tool can be a remedy in this way. one of the differentiating ways in packaging is to design a kind of packaging that possesses some aesthetic aspects by which the product and even the brand of it can be recognize. previous researches showed that having ...
