Prebiotics, FODMAPs and dietary fiber - conflicting concepts in development of functional food products?
Download2018-01-01
Yan, Ya Lu, Hu, Ying, Gänzle, Michael G.
The term prebiotic relates to beneficial modulation of intestinal microbiota by dietary carbohydrates, however, uncertainties of the differentiation of the term 'prebiotics' from dietary fiber as well as FODMAPs impede development of functional foods containing prebiotics. This communication...

Predictive model for construction labour productivity using hybrid feature selection and principal component analysis
Download2022-01-01
Ebrahimi, Sara, Kazerooni, Matin, Sumati, Vuppuluri, Fayek, Aminah Robinson
Construction labour productivity (CLP) is affected by numerous variables made up of subjective and objective factors. Thus, CLP modelling and prediction are a complex task, leading to high computational cost and the risk of overfitting of data. This paper proposes a predictive model for CLP by...

El-Yazbi, Amira F., Loppnow, Glen R.
Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world. Chronic hepatitis B and C infections are the most common etiologies of hepatocellular carcinoma worldwide. In this study, we explore the potential DNA damaging effect of some FDA-approved antiviral drugs which may...

Probing microscopic conformational dynamics in folding reactions by measuring transition paths
Download2019-12-01
Hoffer, Noel Q, Woodside, Michael T
Transition paths comprise those parts of a folding trajectory where the molecule passes through the high-energy transition states separating folded and unfolded conformations. The transition states determine the folding kinetics and mechanism but are difficult to observe because of their brief...

Production of renewable diesel through the hydroprocessing of lignocellulosic biomass derived bio oil: A review
Download2016-01-01
Due to the scarcity of fossil fuels and to population increases, there is an urgent need for renewable energy sources that can replace petroleum-derived fuels. Lignocellulosic biomass, a renewable resource, can be converted to bio-oil by fast pyrolysis and further upgraded to renewable diesel...

Sharma, Nitin Kumar, Kannan, Rangasayee, Hogan, James D., Fisher, Gary, Li, Leijun
Surface mining causes significant wear damage that affects equipment performance, reliability, and lead to associated downtime costs. To improve the wear resistance of components used in natural resources industries, cemented carbide tiles are joined to engaging surfaces of the components....
