Abstract The quality of food products and a balanced diet play a key role in maintaining health and improving the quality of life. Due to the high popularity of pasta, a promising direction is the development of recipes that include whole grain flour, carrot powder and ion-ozonated water, which increase the nutritional value of the product and improve its chemical composition. The aim of this study was to optimise the technological modes of production of durum wheat pasta using carrot powder and ion-ozonated water to minimise the loss of dry matter (DM) during cooking and increase the protein

Whereas researchers in fact recommend implementing prompts to ensure students process those video lectures sufficiently, open questions about the types of prompts and role of students’ engagement remain. We thus conducted an online field experiment with teacher students at a German university (N = 124; 73 female, 49 male). According to the randoml

Introduction: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive technique used to modify the activity of the cortex of the brain. This form of current is capable of inducing changes in the electrical activity inside and outside of the neurons, which leads to a change in the resting membrane potential and thus improves the efficiency of the neural synapse. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of tDCS over motor cortex on strength and endurance performance of healthy collegiate subjects.
