Comparison of congress mash with final 65 °C mash for wort production with unmalted barley, tritordeum, and quinoa, with or without pregelatinization and/or enzyme addition Ghent University
Wort was prepared according to the Congress mash protocol with the addition of 40% unmalted barley, tritordeum, or quinoa. Mashes with quinoa filtered significantly slower than mashes with barley. In contrast, tritordeum filtered similarly as barley, even though tritordeum does not possess a husk. The lack of husk may have contributed to a higher extract yield of tritordeum compared to barley. The final 65 degrees C mash protocol resulted in ...
Controlled BZO nanorod growth and improved flux pinning in YBCO films grown on vicinal STO substrates Ghent University
The present study systematically investigates the impact of strain-induced defects on the anisotropy of the critical current density across wide temperature and magnetic field ranges. We focus on 0-10 wt % BaZrO3 (BZO)-doped YBa2Cu3O7- x (YBCO) thin films that are deposited on SrTiO3 substrates with a 5 degrees surface miscut. Our findings highlight the crucial role played by these vicinal substrates in governing the growth of BZO nanorods ...
The impact of 10 unmalted alternative adjuncts on wort characteristics Ghent University
Consumers are more than ever in search of novel and exciting beer choices, and brewers are, therefore, continuously experimenting to adapt their product portfolio. One interesting way to naturally incorporate novel flavors and tastes is by using alternative adjuncts, but this is not always an easy and straightforward process. In this study, a 40% unmalted alternative adjunct (einkorn, emmer, spelt, khorasan, quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat, sorghum, ...
Textured growth of oxide materials via chemical solution deposition : a case study for electro-optical thin films Ghent University
Textured Growth of Oxide Materials via Chemical Solution Deposition – A Case Study for Electro-Optical Thin Films Klaartje De Buysser, Ewout Picavet, Hannes Rijckaert, Laura Van Bossele, Arend Mandelings, Isabel Van Driessche, Dries Van Thourhout, Jeroen Beeckman Shifting for randomly oriented polycrystalline films towards highly oriented thin films has been a subject of many studies. Often this goes hand in hand with vacuum techniques or ...
Low temperature area selective atomic layer deposition of ruthenium dioxide thin films using polymers as inhibition layers Ghent University
Area selective atomic layer deposition (AS-ALD) is an interesting bottom-up approach due to its self-aligned fabrication potential. Ruthenium dioxide (RuO2) is an important material for several applications, including microelectronics, demanding area selective processing. Herein, it is shown that ALD of RuO2 using methanol and RuO4 as reactants results in uninhibited continuous growth on SiO2, whereas there is no deposition on polymethyl ...

Variation in potential feeding value of triticale forage among plant fraction, maturity stage, growing season and genotype Ghent University Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
Cereal forages, such as triticale forage, progressively gain interest as alternative crop for maize. The main study objective was to investigate the variation in potential feeding value of triticale forage among maturity stage, growing season and genotype, using total plant and stem fractions. Therefore, near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was evaluated as fast screening tool. The prediction ability was good (ratio of prediction to deviation, RPD ...
Model-based control of iron- and copper oxide particle distributions in porous γ-Al2O3 microspheres through careful tuning of the interactions during impregnation Ghent University
Up until now, the key phenomena steering metal particle distributions within macroscopically shaped porous supports has not yet been fundamentally understood. In this work, the embedment, upon incipient wetness impregnation, of iron-and copper oxide particles into porous gamma-Al2O3 microspheres has been carefully studied. In both cases, specific electrostatic interactions between the dissolved metal ions and accessible support surface were ...
