The impact of gamma and electron beam irradiation sterilization technology on the pigments and phenolic components of saffron by Mohammad Reshad, Seyed Pezhman Shirmardi, Hosein Afarideh, Samira Shahbazi, Hamed Askari

“…Additionally, radiation treatments had little effect on the crocin (color), picrocrocin (bitterness) and safranal (aroma) indices measured by the ISO 3632 procedure. On the other hand, the HPLC results revealed that major carotenoids (Picrocrocin, trans-4-GG-crocin, trans-3-Gg-crocin, cis-4-GG-crocin, trans-2-gg-crocin, trans-crocetin, and safranal) and phenolic compounds (catechol, salicylic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, vanillin, gentisic acid, gallic acid, caffeic acid, syringic acid, ferulic acid, and p-coumaric acid) in saffron can experience undesirable changes in attributes due to high doses of radiation. …”

Robot milling system integrated design and finite element analysis of custom femoral prostheses by Qi Wu, Pengju Yue, Siyu Yin, Wang Liu, Zhenjie Li, Renjie He

“…Due to the individual variability of the femur, the fit between the prosthesis and the femoral cavity during the design phase may differ from the fit achieved during the surgical procedure. Consequently, the force transfer of the prosthesis postoperatively may not align with the results obtained from finite element analysis conducted during the design phase, making it challenging to control the micromotion and stress shielding of the prosthesis. …”
