Calanus finmarchicus is a crustacean currently used as a source of marine lipid. The lipids are extracted by enzymatic protein hydrolysis, while the remaining peptide fraction is regarded as a byproduct. In the present work, ten different commercial proteases and endogenous C. finmarchicus proteases were used to produce a set of 63 protein hydrolysates. Protease concentration and hydrolysis time ...

Community violence exposure (CVE) is one of the most common adverse childhood experiences worldwide.

We have revisited the electrochemistry of metallocorrole dimers with low-temperature cyclic voltammetry and UV–visible–NIR spectroelectrochemistry, with the aim of determining the sites of the redox processes undergone by these compounds. The systems studied include the metal–metal triple-bonded complexes {Ru[TpOMePC]}2 and {Os[TpOMePC]}2 and the metal–metal quadruple-bonded complex {Re[TPC]}2, where ...

Background: Non-technical skills (NTS) play an important role in preventing adverse events during hospitalization.
