TL;DR: It may be proposed that, during evolution, a low degree of fatty acid unsaturation in liver mitochondria may have been selected in longevous mammals in order to protect the tissues against oxidative damage, while maintaining an appropriate environment for membrane function.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simulation-based optimization methodology was presented by coupling EnergyPlus and GenOpt with an innovative enthalpy-temperature (h-T) function to define the optimum PCM peak melting temperature to enhance the cooling, heating, and the annual total heating and cooling energy performance of a residential building in various climate conditions based on Koppen-Geiger classification.

TL;DR: The use of alginate- or gellan-based (0.5% w/v) coating formulations on fresh-cut papaya pieces was investigated in order to determine their ability to improve water vapor resistance (WVR), to affect gas exchange and to carry agents that help to maintain the overall quality of minimally processed fruit as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: New kinetics considering the relation between LCFA inhibitory substrate concentration and specific biomass content, as an approximation to the adsorption process, improved the model fitting and provided a better insight on the physical nature of the LCFA inhibition process.

TL;DR: A review of sediment connectivity indices can be found in this paper, where the authors focus on terrestrial geomorphic systems dominated by processes that are driven by hydro-meteorological forcing, neglecting seismically triggered events and environments controlled by eolian processes.
