BackgroundTo provide participants with a more real and immersive intervening experience, virtual reality (VR) and/or augmented reality (AR) technologies have been integrated into some bystander intervention training programs and studies measuring bystander behaviors.ObjectiveWe focused on whether VR or AR can be used as a tool to enhance training b
Seasonal and circadian rhythms of clerodane diterpenes and glycosylated flavonoids in two varieties of Casearia sylvestris Sw. (Salicaceae)
Casearia sylvestris Sw.(Salicaceae) is noted for its morphological and chemical plasticity and pharmacological properties.The present study investigates two of its varieties: C.sylvestris var.sylvestris, predominant in dense and humid forests and ecotones and SKIN GEL GREEN characterized by clerodane diterpenes; and C.sylvestris var.lingua, mainly

Characterisation of olive fruit for the milling process by using visible/near infrared spectroscopy
Increasing consumption of olive oil and table olives has recently determined an expansion of olive tree cultivation in the world.This trend is supported by the documented nutritional value of the Mediterranean diet.The aim of this work was to test a portable visible/ near infrared (vis/NIR) system (400-1000 nm) for the analysis of physical-chemical
