HR-MAS and NMR towards Foodomics
The integrated approaches of Foodomics, defined as a discipline that studies food and nutrition domains through the application of advanced omic technologies, represent the new frontier to explain some critical issues in food science.
Among several applications of omic sciences in food analysis, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is the most used for the instrumental sensitivity and precision. Furthermore, in the last years the NMR technique known as high-resolution magic angle spinning (HR-MAS) has been successfully applied in the field of food science. In particular, this powerful technique is unique for the analysis of talis qualis samples of food products. The results reported in this review showed the validity of this technique for food characterization and authentication but also for the comprehension of the changes in the metabolic profile due to different condition

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Advanced Thin Films and 2D Materials
The Special Issue, "Advanced Thin Films and 2D Materials: Mechanism, Fabrication, Characterization and Application," delves into the intricate world of cutting-edge materials science.

Thin films and 2D materials are pivotal in the development of innovative technologies due to their unique physical and chemical properties. This Special Issue highlights breakthroughs in understanding the fundamental mechanisms that govern the behavior of these materials, enabling precise control over their properties during fabrication. It also examines state-of-the-art fabrication methods and techniques that have revolutionized the production of high-quality thin films and 2D materials. Advanced characterization techniques, such as atomic force microscopy and X-rays, are discussed, providing insights into the structural and electronic properties of these materials. This Special Issue also showcases the diverse applications of thin films and 2D materials in fields such as electronics, photonics, energy storage, and sensing, illustrating their potential to drive technological innovation and address contemporary challenges
Calorimetric analysis points out the physical-chemistry of organic olive oils and reveals the geographical origin
The thermal properties of many organic extra Virgin Olive Oils (eVOOs) coming from different countries of the world were investigated by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). This technique, through a series of heating and cooling cycles, provides a specific curve, i.e., a thermogram, which represents the fingerprint of each eVOO sample. In fact, variations due to the different cultivars, geographical origin or chemical composition can be highlighted because they produce changes in the corresponding thermogram. In particular, in this work, we show the results of an unsupervised multivariate statistical analysis applied to the DSC thermograms of many organic eVOOs. This analysis allows us to discriminate the geographical origin of the different studied samples in terms of the peculiar features shown by the melting profiles of the triacylglycerol moieties
Variations on the Author
“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
