Performance of activated sludge and sequencing batch membrane bioreactor processes for the treatment of crab-processing saline wastewater

ABSTRACT Alt text: Graphical abstract illustrating biological treatment of crab-processing wastewater in an SMBR system, from the generation of untreated wastewater to the production of treated effluent, and its final discharge into the marine environment. Crab-processing saline...

Integrated experimental and modeling study of air psychrometry and velocity effects on cooling pad performance

This study presents a combined experimental and modeling investigation of cellulose-based evaporative cooling pads, focusing on the synergistic effects of inlet air psychrometric conditions and air velocity on cooling performance. Unlike conventional studies that examine temperat...

Seasonal dynamics of proximate composition, fatty acid profile, and mineral content in muscle tissue of Diplodus annularis and Zosterisessor ophiocephalus fishes

Seasonal variability significantly affects nutritional quality and the dietary and commercial value of marine fish. This study includes an in-depth seasonal analysis of proximate composition, energetic content, fatty acid profile, and mineral content of Diplodus annularis and Zos...

Microbiota Dynamics and Listeria monocytogenes Inhibition in Vacuum-Packed Brown Bear Meat Treated with β-Cyclodextrin-Encapsulated Essential Oil

Abstract This study evaluated the microbiological quality and microbiota dynamics of brown bear ( Ursus arctos ) meat treated with β-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes of Origanum vulgare essential oil (OVEO/β-CD) and Illicium verum essential oil (IVEO/β-CD) during 21 days of refri...
