The thermal infrared radiance simulation with aggregation modeling (TITAN) model, presented here, is an innovative transfer radiative code in the infrared domain (3-14 microm). It takes into account the three-dimensional (3D) structure of the landscape and simulates all the radiative components introduced by this 3D structure, which are due to the reflection and emission of walls and sloping roofs. Examples are given to illustrate the new opportunities offered by TITAN over urban areas. First, a phenomenological study is conducted at four wavelengths analyzing the relative effect of all the radiative contributors to the total signal. The same analysis is performed at bottom of atmosphere, which reveals an error occurring when a flat assumption is made (between 1% and 5%). In a second example, the directional effects at sensor level are simulated and show that the radiative temperature can vary by up to 10 K.

This study investigates the enhancement of gelatin (GEL) films using hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) for edible film packaging applications. Although GEL is biocompatible and cost-effective, its limited mechanical strength presents significant challenges for practical applications. The findings indicate that CMC effectively increases tensile strength (TS), while HPMC improves elongation at break (EAB) and hydrophilicity.

In the present study, the impact of ultrasonication treatment (US) at varying time duration (10 and 20 min) on pearl millet protein (PMP) was evaluated. The native and ultrasonicated PMP were evaluated for techno-functional properties, zeta potential, particle size, SEM, FTIR, thermal properties and dynamic rheology. The significant (p < 0.

Ion transport in solid polymer electrolytes is crucial for applications like energy conversion and storage, as well as carbon dioxide capture. However, most of the materials studied in this area are petroleum-based. Natural materials (biopolymers) have the potential to act as alternatives to petroleum-based products and, when derived with ionic liquid (IL) functionalities, present a sustainable alternative for conductive materials by offering tunable morphological, thermal, and mechanical properties.

This study explores the development of a sustainable drug delivery system using cellulose nanoparticles (CNPs) derived from potato pulp for the controlled release of phosphoaminopyrazine (PAP), a promising anticancer agent. CNPs were synthesized via nanoprecipitation, and PAP was loaded through in-situ nanoprecipitation, achieving a high loading efficiency of 79.2 %.
