Numerous clinical and epidemiological studies have led to the result that polyphenol intake may protect against chronic diseases such as cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, or type 2 diabetes, to name some. Polyphenol intake estimation can be obtained through food frequency questionnaires and nutritional biomarkers, both having their own advantages and disadvantages. Although the association between these bioactive compounds and health seems irrefutable, many questions remain still unanswered. For instance, more studies are needed to identify possible interactions and effect-modulating variables, such as smoking habit, body mass index, sex, alcohol, hormones, other foods, etc. Moreover, intestinal microbiota seems to play an important role in the metabolism of polyphenols, but it is still unclear how.Biology, life sciencesbicsscResearch & information: generalbicsscadipose tissueagingatherosclerosisattentionberriesblack sorghumbraincatechinscognitionconcentration-responsedark chocolatedepressiondiabetesdietary flavonoidsendocrineestrogenicflavonoidsflaxseedsfruitsgene expressionglignansHDL-cholesterolhealthinsulin secretionisoflavoneslignanslipid metabolismmangiferinmango leaf extractMediterranean dietmemorymental healthmenumetabolic regulationmetabolic syndromen/aNHANESnon-alcoholic fatty liver diseasenursing homeobesityphenolic acidsphenolic extractsphysical healthplatelet microparticlesplateletspolyphenolpolyphenolspsychological well-beingresidential carerice bransleep disorderssleep durationsoystages of lifestilbenesurinary phytoestrogensvegetablesβ-cell functionBiology, life sciencesResearch & information: generalTresserra-Rimbau Annaedt1327832Tresserra-Rimbau AnnaothBOOK9910557682403321Dietary Polyphenols and Human Health3038157UNINA03593nam 2200865z- 450 991055760790332120220321(CKB)5400000000045323(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/79664(oapen)doab79664(EXLCZ)99540000000004532320202203d2022 |y 0engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierCarnot Cycle and Heat Engine Fundamentals and Applications IIBaselMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute20221 online resource (182 p.)3-0365-3260-9 3-0365-3261-7 This second Special Issue connects both the fundamental and application aspects of thermomechanical machines and processes. Among them, engines have the largest place (Diesel, Lenoir, Brayton, Stirling), even if their environmental aspects are questionable for the future. Mechanical and chemical processes as well as quantum processes that could be important in the near future are considered from a thermodynamical point of view as well as for applications and their relevance to quantum thermodynamics. New insights are reported regarding more classical approaches: Finite Time Thermodynamics F.T.T.; Finite Speed thermodynamics F.S.T.; Finite Dimensions Optimal Thermodynamics F.D.O.T. The evolution of the research resulting from this second Special Issue ranges from basic cycles to complex systems and the development of various new branches of thermodynamics.Research and information: generalbicsscCarnot cycleCarnot efficiencyCarnot engineChambadal modelchemical entropychemical exergyclosed simple Brayton cyclecombined cyclecycle powerecological functionefficiency at maximum powerentropy generation calculationentropy production actionfinite time thermodynamicsheat conductance distributionIBM quantum computerimperfect regenerationinternal and external irreversibilitiesinverse Brayton cycleirreversible Carnot engineirreversible Diesel cycleirreversible Lenoir cycleisothermal processmechanical entropymechanical exergymetabolic reactionsmulti-objective optimizationn/anumerical modelopen quantum systemoptimizationperformance optimizationpower densitypower outputquantum circuitquantum thermodynamicsregenerative Brayton cycleStirling refrigeratorthermal efficiencythermal entropythermal exergythermodynamic analysisthermodynamics in finite timethermodynamics with finite speedResearch and information: generalFeidt Micheledt727699Feidt MichelothBOOK9910557607903321Carnot Cycle and Heat Engine Fundamentals and Applications II3038535UNINA
