Abstract The Loyalty Islands are part of the French archipelago New Caledonia in Southwest Pacific. In these islands, Gibbsic Ferralsols (Humic) traditionally used for fire-fallow cultivation (FFC) by Kanak people, but planting perennial orchards has been encouraged over past two decades. impacts this policy on soil organic carbon (SOC) nevertheless unknown, especially clay-free soils which mat...

We investigate the protoneutron star (PNS) convection using our newly developed general relativistic Boltzmann neutrino radiation-hydrodynamics code. This is a pilot study for more comprehensive investigations later. As such, we take snapshot of PNS at 2.3 seconds after bounce from 1D cooling calculation and run simulation $\sim160\,\mathrm{ms}$ in 2D under axisymmetry. The original neglected e...

INTRODUCTION HIV epidemics in sub-Saharan Africa are generalized, but high-risk subgroups exist within these epidemics. A recent study among fisher-folk communities (FFC) in Uganda showed high HIV prevalence (28.8%) and incidence (4.9/100 person-years). However, those findings may not reflect population-wide HIV rates in FFC since the study population was selected for high-risk behaviour. MET...

The combination effect of miconazole with polygodial against Candida albicans was investigated by an in vitro checkerboard method. Isobolograms, fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC), and fractional fungicidal concentration (FFC) indices were used for evaluating the interaction between compounds combined. The combination of miconazole with polygodial exhibited strong synergism on both fungi...

Abstract The paper presents a quick method for the quantification of nickel species in spent FFC catalysts; known quantities NiO and $$\hbox{NiAl}_2\hbox{O}_{4}$$ NiAl 2 O 4 is first done matrix fresh ...

The chemical potential of oxygen ions at the novel oxygen pumping anode for electrowinning aluminum was manipulated by the electromotive forces to create thermodynamic stability. It is our anticipation that this newly designed anode can be applied to electrochemical metallurgy of other metals, such as the direct electrochemical reduction of TiO2 in the FFC process.

Soybean bran (SB) partially replaced fat (30%?50%) in a gluten-free cookie formulation. Dough properties, physical (cookie dimension and weight loss), textural (hardness fracturability), colour sensory parameters, as well nutritional profiles were evaluated to characterize full-fat (FFC) fat-reduced cookies (FRC). Based on the obtained results, it was concluded that reduction formulation at 30%...

The first use of FFC-MRI was in conjunction with Proton-Electron Double-Resonance Imaging (PEDRI) to image the distribution of free radicals in biological samples, making use of the Overhauser effect. Field-cycling allows the ESR irradiation to be applied at low field (hence relatively low frequency, and low non-resonant absorption), while NMR signal detection and imaging is carried out at high...

PURPOSE Fast field-cycling MRI (FFC-MRI) is a technique that promises to expand upon the diagnostic capabilities of conventional MRI by allowing the main field, B0 , to be varied during a pulse sequence, thus allowing access to new types of endogenous contrast. However, this necessitates longer scan times, which can limit the technique's application to clinical research. In this paper, an adapt...
