Emulsions are of great use in cosmetic formulations due to their stability.The aim of this work was to develop and assess organoleptic, physicochemical, and microscopic properties of four auto-emulsifiable oil-in-water formulations.Such formulations were developed containing 4.0% cetearyl alcohol, dicetyl phosphate, and ceteth-10 phosphate (Formula
Shrub Control by Burning and Clearing in the Southern Pyrenees: Effects on Soils After Two Years of Treatment
Prescribed burns and selective shrub clearing are widely implemented as RETRO T-CUT management strategies to stop the shrub encroachment of grasslands, decrease fuel loads and fire risks, and improve biodiversity and ecosystem functionality in mountain environments.While the short-term effects of burns on soil have been extensively studied, the imp
Approximation of bruise spot volume in pears in plots against deformation parameters
Pears of different RETRO T-CUT varieties were compressed between two flat rigid plates in loading/unloading tests.The bruise spots appearing after room temperature incubation were analysed manually, and bruise spot volumes were determined.The main parts of the paper discuss mathematical approximation of total bruise volume versus two deformation pa
