Type 1 serine/threonine protein phosphatases (PP1) are important regulators of many cellular and developmental processes, including glycogen metabolism, muscle contraction, and the cell cycle [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. Drosophila and humans both have multiple genes encoding PP1 isoforms [3] [6] [7]; each has one beta and several alpha isoform genes (alpha(1), alpha(2), alpha(3) in flies, alpha and ga...

The energy intensity of modern food systems represents a major issue in a scenario of decreasing oil resources and increasing population. Beside the use of renewable energy, an increased efficiency in food systems could contribute to reduce fossil fuels dependence. In this sense, food losses and waste (FLW) have crucial consequences on the energy balance. Based on the concept of “embodied energ...

It is shown that the Boolean center of complemented elements in a bounded integral residuated lattice characterizes direct decompositions. Generalizing both Boolean products and poset sums of residuated lattices, the concepts of poset product, Priestley product and Esakia product of algebras are defined and used to prove decomposition theorems for various ordered algebras. In particular, we sho...

One-third of the worldwide food production is lost or wasted, generating impacts in systems. However, data indicates that one nine people suffer from undernourishment shortage world. Furthermore, this problem generates adverse environment and economy. Costa Rica not exempt phenomenon; therefore, compliance with target 12.3 Sustainable Development Goals, country initiated actions through Rican F...

The quantification of food losses and waste (FLW) has become a research hotspot in the last decade, but little work been done to have data Latin American countries. This paper contributes addressing this knowledge gap by examining magnitude FLW along whole supply chain (FSC) Peru. methodological approach was based on top-down mass flow analysis at all steps FSC for 2007–2017 period (most recent...

The increases in consumer awareness of the potential health benefits green tea have driven global demand for products. This study investigated effect post-harvest processing and storage Japanese-styled (Camellia sinensis var. sinensis) grown NSW, Australia. Harvested material underwent a delay 6, 12, 18 or 24 h at temperatures 0, 5 25 °C. Targeted constituents: theanine, caffeine catechins were...

In this thesis, we study semisimplicity, amalgamation property and finite embeddability property of residuated lattices. We prove semisimplicity and amalgamation property of residuated lattices which are of purely algebraic character, by using proof-theoretic methods and results of substructural logics. On the other hand, we show the finite model property (FMP) for various substructural logics,...

This report treats the relation between substructural logics and fuzzy logics, especially focuses on the noncommutativity of conjunctive operators i.e. substructural logics without the exchange rule. As the results, the authors show that fuzzy logics based on the left continuous pseudo-t-norms are the extensions of FLw. Also, we introduce the definition of pseudouninorms and give some methods t...
