Gelatin-Based Film as a Color Indicator in Food-Spoilage Observation: A Review.

The color indicator can monitor the quality and safety of food products due to its sensitive nature toward various pH levels. A color indicator helps consumers monitor the freshness of food products since it is difficult for them to depend solely on their appearance. Thus, this review could provide alternative suggestions to solve the food-spoilage determination, especially for perishable food.

Tricritical point in the mixed-spin Blume-Capel model on three-dimensional lattices: Metropolis and Wang-Landau sampling approaches.

We investigate the mixed-spin Blume-Capel model with spin-1/2 and spin-S (S=1, 2, and 3) on the simple cubic and body-centered cubic lattices with single-ion-splitting crystal field (Δ) by using the Metropolis and the Wang-Landau Monte Carlo methods. We show that the two methods are complementary: The Wang-Landau algorithm is efficient to construct phase diagrams and the Metropolis algorithm allows access to large-sized lattices. By numerical simulations, we prove that the tricritical point is independent of S for both lattices.

Improvement of Meloxicam Solubility Using a β-Cyclodextrin Complex Prepared via the Kneading Method and Incorporated into an Orally Disintegrating Tablet.

The aim of this research was to formulate and develop an orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) that incorporated a MEL/β-CD complex, using a quality by design (QbD) approach to enhance solubility and drug release. Multiple regression linear analysis was conducted to develop the kneading process and ODT formulation. Mixing time and amount of solvent were used as independent variables in kneading process optimisation, while the superdisintegrants were used to obtain the desired formulation.

Prevalence of anti-Neospora caninum antibodies in Iranian goats.

Genes encoding adhesion factors and biofilm formation in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Morocco.

Introduction: Infections involving methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) remain a serious threat to hospitalized patients worldwide. MRSA is characterized by recalcitrance to antimicrobial therapy, which is a function not only of widespread antimicrobial resistance, but also the capacity to form biofilms. The present study evaluated the presence of genes encoding adhesion factors and the biofilm-forming capacity in MRSA.

Mapping of Networks to Detect Priority Zoonoses in Jordan.

Early detection of emerging disease events is a priority focus area for cooperative bioengagement programs. Communication and coordination among national disease surveillance and response networks are essential for timely detection and control of a public health event. Although systematic information sharing between the human and animal health sectors can help stakeholders detect and respond to zoonotic diseases rapidly, resource constraints, and other barriers often prevent efficient cross-sector reporting.

Reliability assessment of different plate theories for elastic wave propagation analysis in functionally graded plates.

The importance of elastic wave propagation problem in plates arises from the application of ultrasonic elastic waves in non-destructive evaluation of plate-like structures. However, precise study and analysis of acoustic guided waves especially in non-homogeneous waveguides such as functionally graded plates are so complicated that exact elastodynamic methods are rarely employed in practical applications. Thus, the simple approximate plate theories have attracted much interest for the calculation of wave fields in FGM plates.
