The importance of the thermophysical characterization of microencapsulated PCMs...
Soares, N.; Luzio, A.; Matias, T.; Simões, P. N.; Durães, L.; Costa, J.J.This work presents the development of two-dimensional numerical models based on the “additional heat source” and the “effective heat capacity” methods to simulate the thermal behaviour of a microencapsulated phase change material (PCM) - Micronal® DS 5001 X. A purely diffusive, transient model was used, where conduction is the only heat transfer mechanism during phase change. Different ways are evaluated to spe...
Kaolin particle film application lowers oxidative damage and DNA methylation on...
Bernardo, S.; Dinis, L. -T.; Luzio, A.; Pinto, Glória; Meijón, Mónica; Valledor, Luís; Conde, A.; Gerós, H.; Correia, C. M.; Moutinho-Pereira, J.The exogenous kaolin application in grapevine has shown a great potential as summer stress mitigation strategy because it positively impacts fruit quality as a result of many molecular and biochemical changes. In the present study we wanted to address the hypothesis that the observed improved antioxidant capacity could also result from a more efficient enzymatic antioxidant system response. For that purpose, th...
