Potato starch offers the unique potential of mineral enrichment through the presence of phosphorylated amylopectin chains. This property was utilised in a straightforward dual modification of native potato starch by combining mineral enrichment with dry heat treatments (DHT). DHT itself (110–130 °C, …

Awareness of climate change and stricter emission regulations have accelerated the search for sustainable energy solutions. A central goal is carbon-neutral energy use, minimizing greenhouse gas emissions while ensuring reliable energy supply. In applications with limited grid access—such as festivals, …

Identifying critical reproductive habitats for elasmobranchs in human-modified coastal environments remains challenging due to cryptic behaviours and data limitations. This study investigated potential pupping grounds of the Starry smooth-hound (Mustelus asterias) in the Southwestern Dutch Delta using …

Well-developed clinical communication is crucial for dairy practitioners in providing effective herd health and production management (HHPM) advisory services, as they have potential to enhance farmer satisfaction and adherence to veterinary advice. However, there is limited knowledge regarding specific …

This article presents a Multiscale Modeling Framework for the prediction of the progressive damage and failure analysis of laminated composites structures reinforced with carbon nanotubes (CNTs). First, the modified Halpin-Tsai (H-T) model is employed to estimate the mechanical properties of CNT-reinforced …
