Drying behavior, thermodynamic properties, and functional stability of taioba starch enriched with leaf bioactive extracts

Abstract This study evaluated the drying kinetics, thermodynamic properties, physicochemical characteristics, bioactive compounds, and antioxidant activity of native and enriched taioba starches obtained from Xanthosoma sagittifolium . Native starch (CS) and starches enriched wit...

Supply-chain risks and resilience mechanisms relevant to military aviation: a systematic review of defense and aerospace literature

Purpose This study synthesizes defense and aerospace supply-chain literature to identify and organize risks and resilience mechanisms relevant to the industrial, maintenance, and sustainment systems supporting military aviation, with particular attention to aircraft availability...

Controllable anisotropic Andreev reflection in gapless few-layer phosphorene

Andreev reflection at a normal/superconductor interface is studied in a system in which the normal region consists of a few-layer black phosphorus (BP) under an electric field applied perpendicularly to the material’s plane. The application of a strong electric field induces a ph...
