Abstract
The underwater ultrasound power measurement has become necessary due to the rapid development of sonochemistry and sonocatalysis. This article presents construction of novel triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) and its application for a detection of ultrasonic waves in water. The device was 3D printed using widely available and cost-effective materials. TENG consisted of the device housing and movable polymer pellets confined between flat electrodes. The device housing and pellets were 3D printed via stereolithography (SLA) and fused deposition modelling (FDM) methods, respectively. The pellets moved periodically driven by the ultrasonic waves leading to generation of an alternating voltage signal. The electric response of TENG was calibrated using a commercially available ultrasonic power sensor. The open-circuit voltage output of TENG was registered in different sections of the ultrasonic bath in order to determine the distribution of the acoustic power. TENG electric responses were analyzed by applying the fast Fourier transform (FFT) and fitting the theoretical dependence to experimental data. The main peaks in the frequency spectra of the voltage waveforms corresponded to the fundamental excitation frequency of the ultrasonic bath. TENG device, presented in this paper, can be successfully applied as a self-powered sensor for detection of ultrasonic waves. It enables precise control of the sonochemical process and reduction of power losses of the ultrasonic reactor. 3D printing technology has been confirmed to be fast, easy, and scalable method of fabrication of the ultrasonic sensors.

Abstract
Minas frescal cheese is extremely popular in Brazil, with high perishability and acceptability. Among emerging technologies, ultrasound stands out for its satisfactory results regarding microbiological safety and technological and sensory aspects. The combined mild temperature application, called thermosonication, can generate even more promising results. In this study, a high-intensity ultrasound system combined with thermal heating (TS, thermosonication) was applied for the treatment of raw milk to produce Minas Frescal cheese. US energy was delivered to raw milk samples using a probe operating at a 20 kHz of frequency and nominal power of 160, 400, and 640 W. The TS system was compared with conventional pasteurization (HTST, high-temperature short-time pasteurization) at 72 to 75 °C and 15 s. Soft cheeses were prepared with different samples: (a) raw milk (control), b)conventionally pasteurized milk (HTST), and c) TS treat milk in different nominal power (TS160, TS400, and TS640). The produced cheeses were evaluated for microbiological behavior, rheology, color parameters, and bioactive compounds. TS treatment in milk resulted in higher microbial inactivation and stability during storage, improved color parameters (higher lightness (L*), and whiteness index (WI). TS treatment also showed a higher generation of bioactive compounds (higher antioxidant, and inhibitory activities of α-amylase, α-glucosidase, and angiotensin-converting enzymes) than HTST. The impact of TS on rheological properties was similar to HTST, resulting in more brittle and less firm products than the cheese produced with raw milk. The positive effects were more prominent using a nominal power of 400 W (TS400). Therefore, TS proved to be a promising process for processing milk for Minas Frescal cheese production.

Abstract
Acoustic droplet vaporization (ADV) plays an important role in focused ultrasound theranostics. Better understanding of the relationship between the ultrasound parameters and the ADV nucleation could provide an on-demand regulation and enhancement of ADV for improved treatment outcome. In this work, ADV nucleation was performed in a dual-frequency focused ultrasound configuration that consisted of a continuous low-frequency ultrasound and a short high-frequency pulse. The combination was modelled to investigate the effects of the driving frequency and acoustic power on the nucleation rate, efficiency, onset time, and dimensions of the nucleation region. The results showed that the inclusion of short pulsed high-frequency ultrasound significantly increased the nucleation rate with less energy, reduced the nucleation onset time, and changed the length-width ratio of the nucleation region, indicating the dual-frequency ultrasound mode yields an efficient enhancement of the ADV nucleation, compared to a single-frequency ultrasound mode. Furthermore, the acoustic and temperature fields varied independently with the dual-frequency ultrasound parameters. This facilitated the spatial and temporal control over the ADV nucleation, and opens the door to the possibility to realize on-demand regulation of the ADV occurrence in ultrasound theranostics. In addition, the improved energy efficacy that is obtained with the dual-frequency configuration lowered the requirements on hardware system, increasing its flexibility and could facilitate its implementation in practical applications.

Abstract
This paper presents the novel use of a sonochemical reaction product as a sensing material in self-powered ultrasonic reactor devices for determination of ultrasound parameters. A piezoelectric nanogenerator was fabricated via sonochemical synthesis of SbSeI nanowires compressed into a bulk sample. The prepared device was used to develop two fast and simple evaluation methods for acoustic power in liquid. A calibration procedure was carried out for both methods using a VCX-750 ultrasonic processor. The ultrasound acoustic power was varied within a 150 W to 750 W range and the corresponding nanogenerator electrical responses were measured. The voltage signals of the first method fit the best with theoretical dependence. The second technique was based on the application of the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to the measured electric output. The results of these two approaches were convergent. Acoustic power values of 255(8) W and 222(7) W were determined for the Sonic-6 reactor using theoretical dependence fitting to experimental data and FFT analysis, respectively. Developed sensing technology possesses great potential for sonochemistry applications.

Abstract
The effects of the high-intensity ultrasound (HIUS) technology at the nominal powers of 300, 600, 900, and 1200 W were evaluated on the chemical stability of xylooligosaccharides (XOS) used to enrich orange juice. The ultrasound energy performance for each nominal power applied to the XOS-enriched orange juice was determined by calculating acoustic powers (W), HIUS intensity (W/cm2), and energy density (kJ/mL). Physicochemical properties (pH and soluble solid content), organic acid content (ascorbic, malic, and citric acids), total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant activity by the FRAP (Ferric reducing ability of plasma) method, sugar (glucose, fructose, and sucrose), and XOS (xylobiose, xylotriose, xylotetraose, xylopentaose, and xylohexaose) content were determined. The pH and soluble solid content did not change after all HIUS treatments. The HIUS process severity was monitored by quantifying ascorbic acid content after the treatments. A significant linear decrease in the ascorbic acid content was observed in prebiotic orange juice with the HIUS process intensification by increasing nominal power. The malic acid and citric acid contents had similar behavior according to the HIUS process intensification. The nominal power increase from 300 to 600 W increased the concentration of both organic acids, however, the intensification up to 1200 W reduced their concentration in the functional beverage. The TPC and FRAP data corroborated with the results observed for the ascorbic acid content. However, the HIUS processing did not alter sugar and XOS contents. The XOS chromatographic profiles were not modified by the HIUS treatment and presented the same amount of all prebiotic compounds before and after the HIUS treatment. Overall, HIUS technology has been evaluated as a promising stabilization technique for prebiotic beverages enriched with XOS due to their high chemical stability to this emerging technology under severe process conditions.

Abstract
To improve DMFC (direct methanol fuel cell) performance, a new method using ultrasonic radiation is proposed and a novel DMFC structure is designed and fabricated in the present paper. Three ultrasonic transducers (piezoelectric transducer, PZT) are integrated in the flow field plate to form the ultrasonic field in the liquid fuel. Ultrasonic frequency, acoustic power, and methanol concentration have been considered as variables in the experiments. With the help of ultrasonic radiation, the maximum output power and limiting current of cell can be independently increased by 30.73% and 40.54%, respectively. The best performance of DMFC is obtained at the condition of ultrasonic radiation (30 kHz and 4 W) fed with 2M methanol solution, because both its limiting current and output power reach their maximum value simultaneously (222 mA and 33.6 mW, respectively) under this condition. These results conclude that ultrasonic can be an alternative choice for improving the cell performance, and can facilitate a guideline for the optimization of DMFC.

Abstract
The acoustic power of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is an important parameter that should be measured prior to each treatment to guarantee effective and safe outcomes. A new calibration technique was developed that involves estimating the pressure distribution, calculating the acoustic power using an underwater pressure blast sensor, and compensating the contribution of harmonics to the acoustic power. The output of a clinical extracorporeal HIFU system (center frequency of ~1 MHz, p+ = 2.5-57.2 MPa, p(-) = -1.8 to -13.9 MPa, I(SPPA) = 513-22,940 W/cm(2), -6 dB size of 1.6 × 10 mm: lateral × axial) was measured using this approach and then compared with that obtained using a radiation force balance. Similarities were found between each method at acoustic power ranging from 18.2 W to 912 W with an electrical-to-acoustic conversion efficiency of ~42%. The proposed method has advantages of low weight, smaller size, high sensitivity, quick response, high signal-to-noise ratio (especially at low power output), robust performance, and easy operation of HIFU exposimetry measurement.
