TL;DR: In this article, the PtRu nanoparticles were synthesized by impregnation method and subsequent alcohol reduction and the electrochemical properties and fuel cell performance of both home-made and commercial PtRu electrocatalysts were compared to H2O2 treated carbon black.

TL;DR: In this paper, pecan nuts (Carya illinoensis ) were treated with gamma irradiation and evaluated for changes in vitamin E content and sensory properties, and a trained sensory panel found that irradiation at 1 kGy produced no significant changes in appearance, aroma, texture and flavor attributes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors address the mercury exposure scenarios through fish consumption in the urban area of Alta Floresta, by comparing the different patterns of mercury exposure from fish ingestion for different population groups.
