The botanical origin, toast level and ellagitannin content of oak chips in a model wine solution have been studied in terms of their influence on oxygen consumption. French oak chips released significantly higher amounts of ellagitannins than American oak chips at any toast level. The release of ellagitannins by oak chips decreased as the toast level increased in the French oak but this trend was not so clear in American oak. Oxygen consumption rate was clearly related to the level of released ellagitannins. Therefore, oak chips should be chosen for their potential to release ellagitannins release should be considered, not only because they can have a direct impact on the flavor and body of the wine, but also because they can protect against oxidation.

Emerging pollutants such as organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) pose a critical threat to environmental and human health, while conventional wastewater treatments often fail to remove them. This study addresses this issue by evaluating the bioremediation potential of white-rot fungi for the removal of two OPFRs: tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP) and tributyl phosphate (TBP). Three fungal species-, , and -were screened for their degradation capabilities.

The study investigated the impact of reusing wood chips in the maturation of sugarcane spirits on the chemical profile (non-volatile and volatile) of the bevarage. Chips of oak (Quercus sp.), amburana (Amburana cearensis), and chestnut (Bertholletia excelsa) were used in two maturation cycles.

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic skin condition that primarily affects areas with dense hair follicles and apocrine sweat glands, such as the underarms, groin, buttocks, and lower breasts. Intense pain and discomfort in HS have been commonly noted, primarily due to the lesions' effects on nearby tissues. Pain is a factor that can influence DNA methylation patterns, though its exact role in HS is not fully understood.

Dielectric energy storage capacitors are indispensable components in advanced electronic and electrical systems. Excellent performance requires the dielectric materials possessing low residual polarization (P), high breakdown strength (E), and large maximum polarization (P). The first two parameters can be typically achieved through chemical regulation, while the P is closely related to the matrix.
