Approximately 16,000 thousand tonnes of cocoa husk are produced annually worldwide during the chocolate production chain, representing considerable potential for pectin extraction. The aim of this study was to investigate a new extraction technique using a binary system composed of carbon dioxide and water (CO + HO) at high pressure and temperature, on cocoa sample from floodplain ecosystem. Temperatures of 393.

Fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) methods and fault-tolerant control (FTC) have been the focus of intensive research across various fields to ensure safe operation, reduce costs, and optimize maintenance tasks. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), particularly quadcopters or quadrotors, are often prone to faults in sensors and actuators due to their complex dynamics and exposure to various external uncertainties. In this context, this work implements different FDD approaches based on the Kalman filter (KF) for fault estimation to achieve FTC of the quadcopter, considering different faults with nonlinear behaviors and the possibility of simultaneous occurrences in actuators and sensors.

Background: is an opportunistic and omnivorous species that primarily feeds on plant material. Recent studies have shown that Endo-β-1,4-glucanase and Endo-β-1,4-mannanase are expressed in the transcriptome of adult specimens, while juveniles are capable of digesting nutrients from purified cellulose in their diet. In organisms that degrade raw plant material, laccase plays a key role in oxidizing phenolic compounds found in lignin, leading to its depolymerization and increasing access to cellulose and hemicellulose microfibrils.

Article Synopsis
  • Heat stress in poultry affects their ability to manage body temperature, but pequi oil's antioxidant properties may help alleviate these effects.
  • This study examined the impact of pequi oil on laying hens under heat stress by analyzing plasma proteins after feeding two different diets over 84 days.
  • Key proteins linked to inflammation, immune response, and heat adaptation were found to be enhanced in hens fed with pequi oil, suggesting it could improve resilience to heat stress and boost egg production.
