Microstructured Fibers for the Production of Food

Véronique Michaud, Francesco Stellacci, Fabien Sorin, Federica Sordo, Yunpeng Qu, Emma-Rose Janecek

Food engineering faces the difficult challenge of combining taste, i.e., tailoring texture and rheology of food matrices with the balanced intake of healthy nutrients. In materials science, fiber suspensions and composites have been developed as a versatil ...

The role of mixing in controlling resource availability and phytoplankton community composition

Bieito Fernandez Castro, Emilio Marañón

We investigate the role of mixing, through its effect on nutrient and light availability, as a driver of phytoplankton community composition in the context of Margalef’s mandala. Data on microstructure turbulence, irradiance, new nitrogen supply and phytop ...

Vancomycin resistance plasmids affect persistence of Enterococcus faecium in water

Suzanne Marie Young

Vancomycin resistant enterococci (VRE) cause 20,000 infections annually in the United States, most of which are nosocomial. Recent findings of VRE in sewage-contaminated surface waters demonstrate an alternate route of human exposure, and a possible settin ...

Chemical composition, nutrient-balancing and biological treatment of hand washing greywater

Eva Reynaert

On-site biological hand washing water treatment can improve global access to safe hand washing water, but requires a thorough understanding of the chemical composition of the water to be treated, and an effective treatment strategy. This study first presen ...

The Chaoborus pump: Migrating phantom midge larvae sustain hypolimnetic oxygen deficiency and nutrient internal loading in lakes

Sabine Flury McGinnis

Hypolimnetic oxygen demand in lakes is often assumed to be driven mainly by sediment microbial processes, while the role of Chaoborus larvae, which are prevalent in eutrophic lakes with hypoxic to anoxic bottoms, has been overlooked. We experimentally meas ...

A fish intestinal epithelial barrier model established from the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) cell line, RTgutGC

Kristin Schirmer, Carolin Drieschner, Hannah Inka Schug

The intestine of fish is a multifunctional organ: lined by only a single layer of specialized epithelial cells, it has various physiological roles including nutrient absorption and ion regulation. It moreover comprises an important barrier for environmenta ...

Enantioselective Synthesis of Quaternary α-Amino Acids Enabled by the Versatility of the Phenylselenonyl Group

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Antonin François Roland Clemenceau

A novel Cinchona alkaloid-catalyzed enantioselective conjugate addition of alpha-alkyl substituted alpha-nitroacetates to phenyl vinyl selenone was developed. The resulting enantio-enriched alpha,alpha-dialkyl substituted alpha-nitroacetates were subsequen ...

Optimization of ICRH for core impurity control in JET-ILW

Jonathan Graves

Ion cyclotron resonance frequency (ICRF) heating has been an essential component in the development of high power H-mode scenarios in the Jet European Torus ITER-like wall (JET-ILW). The ICRF performance was improved by enhancing the antenna-plasma couplin ...

Gut physiology mediates a trade-off between adaptation to malnutrition and susceptibility to food-borne pathogens

Bruno Lemaitre, Sveta Chakrabarti, Sylvain Kolly

The animal gut plays a central role in tackling two common ecological challenges, nutrient shortage and food-borne parasites, the former by efficient digestion and nutrient absorption, the latter by acting as an immune organ and a barrier. It remains unkno ...

Dynamic investigation of nutrient consumption and injection strategy in microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) by means of large-scale experiments

Koen Blanckaert

Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) depends on the in situ microbial activity to release trapped oil in reservoirs. In practice, undesired consumption is a universal phenomenon but cannot be observed effectively in small-scale physical simulations due t ...
