Article Abstract

The use of oak products as a cheaper alternative to expensive wood barrels was recently permitted in Europe, which led to a continuous increase in the use of oak chips and staves in winemaking. The feasibility of the potentiometric electronic tongue as a tool for monitoring the effects of wine maceration with oak chips was evaluated. Four types of commercially available oak chips subjected to different thermal treatments and washing procedures and their mixture were studied. Ethanolic extracts of the chips were analysed using electrospray mass spectrometry and 28 phenolic and furanic compounds were identified. The electronic tongue comprising 22 potentiometric chemical sensors could distinguish artificial wine solutions and Cabernet Sauvignon wine macerated with different types of oak chips, quantify total and non-flavonoid phenolic content, as well as the concentrations of added oak chips. Using measurements at two pH levels, 3.2 and 6.5, improved the accuracy of quantification.

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.

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.
