The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is a space borne gravitational wave detec- tor set to launch in 2034, with the objective of detecting and studying the Gravitational Waves (GWs) of our universe. So far, ground-based detectors such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) have been successful in detecting GWs, but the limitations of ground based detectors is wh

This study aimed to determine the protective effects of three main lyoprotectants (sucrose, maltodextrin, GOS) and two sub-lyoprotectants (mono sodium glutamate, sodium ascorbate) and their effectiveness on the survival of probiotics Lactobacillus reuteri after freeze drying and during storage. The objective of the freeze-drying method with the formulation is to enhance the storage stability of La
