Emulsifying Properties of Dietary Fiber from Different Sources by Yao WANG, Xue ZHAO, Hao WU, Xinglian XU

“…The absolute value of Zeta potential and apparent viscosity increased with increasing fiber concentration, and both reached the maximum value in the rice bran dietary fiber emulsion with fiber concentration of 3% (Zeta potential value: −59.45 mV; viscosity: 15.88 mPa·s). The results of storage stability suggested that with the extension of storage time, oat bran dietary fiber emulsion and citrus fiber emulsion showed obvious oil-water layered, and the emulsification ability was lower than that of other groups. …”

Estimating avoidable burden of stillbirth attributable to greenness improvement in Iran by Yang Yuan, Fatemeh Mayvaneh, Yaqi Wang, Jixing Yang, Yunquan Zhang, Fang Shi

“…Lower stillbirth risks were consistently seen in pregnant mothers being exposed to greater greenness within buffers of 500–3000 m. For instance, per 0.1-unit increase of NDVI and EVI within a 3000-m buffer was associated with the estimated odds of 0.971 (95 % confidence interval: 0.963–0.978) and 0.957 (0.947–0.968) for stillbirth, respectively. …”
