Extraction of Bioactive Compounds from Wine Lees: A Systematic and Bibliometric Review.

The extraction of bioactive compounds from wine lees involves a variety of methods, the selection of which is crucial to ensure optimal yields. This systematic review, following PRISMA guidelines and utilizing the Web of Science database, aimed to examine the current state of this field, providing insights for future investigations. The search employed strategies with truncation techniques and Boolean operators, followed by a three-step screening using well-defined eligibility criteria.

Effective optimization of irrigation networks with pressure-driven outflows at randomly selected installation nodes.

This paper presents an innovative methodology for the design of pressurized irrigation networks. Compared to other methodologies proposed in the scientific literature, it features three novel aspects: (i) construction of peak demand scenarios based on the random selection of installation nodes for hydrant heads available in each sector of irrigated properties; (ii) realistic hydraulic modelling of outflows from hydrant heads by means of the pressure driven approach; and (iii) adoption of linear constraints to enforce the telescopic property in the distribution of diameters from the source towards the external areas of the network in the optimized design. The applications of the methodology to the real network serving an irrigated area of 750 ha in Northern Italy proved that the aspects (i) and (ii) contribute to the accurate modelling of the current network while highlighting its hydraulic deficiencies.

Comparison between Ultrasound- and Microwave-Assisted Extraction Methods to Determine Phenolic Compounds in Barley ( L.).

Characterization of BRCA Deficiency in Ovarian Cancer.

BRCA testing is recommended in all Ovarian Cancer (OC) patients, but the optimal approach is debated. The landscape of alterations was explored in 30 consecutive OC patients: 6 (20.0%) carried germline pathogenic variants, 1 (3.
