Effect of Essential Oils and Dried Herbs on the Shelf Life of Fresh Goat Lump Cheese.

In recent years, the use of natural preservatives in food products has gained significant attention due to their potential health benefits and effectiveness. A standardized microbiological analysis was conducted on Slovak farm-produced lump goat cheese samples to determine the antibacterial activity of dry herbs and essential oils added to vacuum-packed goat cheese. We employed five dried herbs and five essential oils derived from the same plants.

Development of 3-phase fault detection, protection, and automation application with the present of DG in AC power system using GOOSE protocol.

In this research work, a protection and automation solution is developed, encompassing SEL751 and SEL751A protection relays that communicate through the IEC-61850 Generic Object-Oriented Substation Event (GOOSE) protocol to deliver high-speed detection and clearance of a 3-phase (3P) fault. The study case is a standard IEEE 13-bus grid including the main system generator (G1), power lines, loads, distributed generation (DG), bus bars, and feeders, equipped with protection relays for detecting over-current faults based on time and current. Two protection relays, B in the main system and B on the DG side, are integrated with a GOOSE protocol communication system.

A Detailed Comparative Analysis of the Structural Stability and Electron-Phonon Properties of ZrO: Mechanisms of Water Adsorption on t-ZrO (101) and t-YSZ (101) Surfaces.

In this study, we considered the structural stability, electronic properties, and phonon dispersion of the cubic (c-ZrO), tetragonal (t-ZrO), and monoclinic (m-ZrO) phases of ZrO. We found that the monoclinic phase of zirconium dioxide is the most stable among the three phases in terms of total energy, lowest enthalpy, highest entropy, and other thermodynamic properties. The smallest negative modes were found for m-ZrO.

Quality Assessment of Wild and Cultivated Green Tea from Different Regions of China.

Natural products have always enjoyed great popularity among consumers. Wild tea is an interesting alternative to tea from intensive plantations. The term "wild tea" is applied to many different varieties of tea, the most desirable and valued of which are native or indigenous tea plants.

High-Frequency Magnetoimpedance (MI) and Stress-MI in Amorphous Microwires with Different Anisotropies.

Magnetoimpedance (MI) in Co-based microwires with an amorphous and partially crystalline state was investigated at elevated frequencies (up to several GHz), with particular attention paid to the influence of tensile stress on the MI behavior, which is called stress-MI. Two mechanisms of MI sensitivity related to the DC magnetization re-orientation and AC permeability dispersion were discussed. Remarkable sensitivity of impedance changes with respect to applied tensile stress at GHz frequencies was obtained in partially crystalline wires subjected to current annealing.

Preparation, characterization, and use of novel Cu@FeO MNPs in the synthesis of tetrahydrobenzimidazo[2,1-]quinazolin-1(2)-ones and 2-indazolo[2,1-]phthalazine-triones under solvent-free conditions.

Cu@FeO MNPs as novel nanomagnetic reagents were prepared to investigate their catalytic behavior in the preparation of tetrahydrobenzimidazo[2,1-]quinazolin-1(2)-ones, as important biologically active compounds. Then, characterization of the synthesized nanoparticles was performed using different methods including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). All reactions were performed with small amounts of the Cu@FeO MNPs under solvent-free conditions.
