    Abstract The global demand for food, feed and fossil-based chemicals is increasing due to the continuously growing world population. Excessive and unsustainable consumption is causing anthropogenic effects resulting in high carbon emission, pollution and depletion of natural resources. Currently, the main renewable feedstocks used as alternative to petrochemical processes are derived from agricultural crops. Higher plants are a great source of oils which can be used in food, feed, paint, lighting and fuel industries. However, cultivation of crops requires vast areas of arable land, fresh water and minerals. Additionally, depletion of petrochemical resources increases the demand for plant-based fuels, creating a direct competition with food and feed production. Therefore, novel renewable and sustainable alternatives are necessary to reduce the current environmental impact of traditional industrial processes.Microalgae are considered as a promising alternative for the production of commodities. They are capable of converting sunlight, water, CO2 and nutrients into biomass and products which attract interest from pharmaceutical, cosmetic, biofuel, food and feed industries. Furthermore, microalgae can reach significantly higher biomass concentrations and product yields per hectare compared to higher plants, they do not require arable lands and some species can be grown on wastewater or seawater.Several microalgal species can accumulate large amounts of fatty acids when cultivated under stress conditions. At a cellular level, lipids such as triacylglycerols (TAGs) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) can serve either as structural components or storage compounds. Therefore, microalgae are a source of valuable oils that can be used directly as nutritional products or as raw material for biofuel production.Although microalgae have the potential to become a feedstock for lipid production some limitations and challenges remain. In order to achieve an economically feasible process, improvement, optimization and redesign of ...

    Abstract Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) offer a great promise in designing new therapeutics due to their ability to interfere in bacterial growth by penetrating the cell wall. The overuse of antibiotics has resulted into antibiotic-resistant bacteria and AMPs could be an alternative to circumvent this resistance. Chitosan nanocrystals (ChsNCs) are rod-shaped polysaccharide-based nanomaterials, formed by deacetylation of seafood waste. They possess primary amino groups on the surface of the nanoparticles which can be as used a scaffold due to the built-in morphology and ease in functionalization. Here, we developed a new methodology to functionalize ChsNCs with amino acids and peptides by using fundamentals of solid phase peptide synthesis. The resulting functionalized rod-shaped nanomaterials were characterized using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential measurements and microscopy imaging. This synthetic strategy could be used in designing ChsNC-based nanomaterials to target specific cells by attaching bioactive peptides to the nanomaterial surface.

    Abstract To address the growing concern of honey adulteration in Canada and globally, a quantitative NMR method was developed to analyze 424 honey samples collected across Canada as part of two surveys in 2018 and 2019 led by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Based on a robust and reproducible methodology, NMR data were recorded in triplicate on a 700 MHz NMR spectrometer equipped with a cryoprobe, and the data analysis led to the identification and quantification of 33 compounds characteristic of the chemical composition of honey. The high proportion of Canadian honey in the library provided a unique opportunity to apply multivariate statistical methods including PCA, PLS-DA, and SIMCA in order to differentiate Canadian samples from the rest of the world. Through satisfactory model validation, both PLS-DA as a discriminant modeling technique and SIMCA as a class modeling method proved to be reliable at differentiating Canadian honey from a diverse set of honeys with various countries of origins and floral types. The replacement method of optimization was successfully applied for variable selection, and trigonelline, proline, and ethanol at a lower extent were identified as potential chemical markers for the discrimination of Canadian and non-Canadian honeys.

    Abstract We carry out a population study of magnetized radio filaments in the Galactic center using MeerKAT data by focusing on the spacing between the filaments that are grouped. The morphology of a sample of 43 groupings containing 174 magnetized radio filaments are presented. Many grouped filaments show harp-like, fragmented cometary tail-like, or loop-like structures in contrast to many straight filaments running mainly perpendicular to the Galactic plane. There are many striking examples of a single filament splitting into two prongs at a junction, suggestive of a flow of plasma along the filaments. Spatial variations in spectral index, brightness, bending and sharpening along the filaments indicate that they are evolving on a 10^{5-6}-year time scale. The mean spacings between parallel filaments in a given grouping peaks at $\sim16''$. We argue by modeling that the filaments in a grouping all lie on the same plane and that the groupings are isotropically oriented in 3D space. One candidate for the origin of filamentation is interaction with an obstacle, which could be a compact radio source, before a filament splits and bends into multiple filaments. In this picture, the obstacle or sets the length scale of the separation between the filaments. Another possibility is synchrotron cooling instability occurring in cometary tails formed as a result of the interaction of cosmic-ray driven Galactic center outflow with obstacles such as stellar winds. In this picture, the mean spacing and the mean width of the filaments are expected to be a fraction of a parsec, consistent with observed spacing.

    Abstract This paper demonstrates the ability of neural networks to reliably learn the nonlinear flame response of a laminar premixed flame, while carrying out only one unsteady CFD simulation. The system is excited with a broadband, low-pass filtered velocity signal that exhibits a uniform distribution of amplitudes within a predetermined range. The obtained time series of flow velocity upstream of the flame and heat release rate fluctuations are used to train the nonlinear model using a multi-layer perceptron. Several models with varying hyperparameters are trained and the dropout strategy is used as regularizer to avoid overfitting. The best performing model is subsequently used to compute the flame describing function (FDF) using mono-frequent excitations. In addition to accurately predicting the FDF, the trained neural network model also captures the presence of higher harmonics in the flame response. As a result, when coupled with an acoustic solver, the obtained neural network model is better suited than a classical FDF model to predict limit cycle oscillations characterized by more than one frequency. The latter is demonstrated in the final part of the present study. We show that the RMS value of the predicted acoustic oscillations together with the associated dominant frequencies are in excellent agreement with CFD reference data.

    Abstract Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by arterial, venous, or small vessel thrombosis and recurrent early pregnancy loss, fetal loss, or pregnancy morbidity in the context of persistent antiphospholipid antibodies. Characterized by the development of multiple thrombotic manifestations, simultaneously or within a short period of time; being portal vein thrombosis (DVT) a rare and serious clinical manifestation and a predictor of poor prognosis.The case of an elderly patient with abdominal pain and portal vein thrombosis associated with APS with antithrombotic treatment and analgesics of favorable evolution is presented.
