This study presents a methodology that includes hydraulic and mechanical constitutive relationships for modeling the complex volumetric behavior of unsaturated soils. The mechanical relationships are based on the generalized effective stress concept, and the hydraulic relationships adopt soil water retention curves dependent on soil deformation. After the formulation and the introduction of the governing equations, a study case based on the results of suction-controlled oedometric tests is presented, aiming for a better understanding of the effect of compaction on unsaturated soils. The oedometric compression curves of a first set of laboratory tests are reinterpreted in terms of the generalized effective stress concept to obtain the required model parameters. Then, numerical simulations are performed to analyze the soil susceptibility to large volumetric strains triggered by a combined ...

Consumers increasingly demand products in their diets that not only provide the nutrients required for a healthy life, they are also preferably those that can complement with beneficial health properties. In recent decades it has been recognized rosehip, Rosa and Rosa canina the rubiginosa as fruits contain many nutraceutical properties. This paper reviews the research papers carried the Rosehip from the point of view of their importance of their consumption and their health benefits; describing the chemical, physical and biochemical characteristics such as content of phenolic compounds, fatty acids, linoleic acid, mineral; and other important also from an industrial point of view, such as antioxidants, pigments, among other compounds. According to the information collected, the Rosehip is a source of micronutrients including vitamin C and lycopene, also delivering a good nutritional val...

Prevent fraud has become great interest in the recent years by state organizations and companies because it affects the food control. The globalization, increased imports and exports and free trade agreements have led to greater sharing and access to food worldwide; along with it, the problems associated with fraud such as adulteration, substitution, intentionality, and counterfeiting have been increased. Therefore, there are various tasks associated with food fraud, which in most reviews published only new identification techniques have been discussed. However, a discussion about the types of fraud and its impact on society, bioterrorism and religion, has been little commented. This review focuses primarily on describing the types of fraud that has as objective to obtain economic benefit or cause terrorism. Also, latest techniques available for detecting meat adulteration are mentioned.
