Consumer Perspectives About the Quality and Safety of Plastic Packaging Used fo...
Guiné, Raquel P. F.; Weber, M.; Lopes, Luísa P. CruzFood packaging is essential in today's globalized markets to preserve the foods or beverages, guaranteeing their quality and safety along the food supply chain. Plastics have been used extensively for food packaging due to their many advantages, like being light, cheap, and versatile. However, some of the chemical molecules released from plastics may have toxic effects on the human body if ingested, and they ar...

Sirunyan, A. M.; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Ambrogi, F.; Asilar, E.; Bergauer, T.; Brandstetter, J.; Dragicevic, M.; Erö, J.; Escalante Del Valle, A.Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:11:08Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2018-09-17; The observation of the standard model (SM) Higgs boson decay to a pair of bottom quarks is presented. The main contribution to this result is from processes in which Higgs bosons are produced in association with a W or Z boson (VH), and are searched for in final states including 0, 1, or 2 charged lepto...
