Within the framework of the Hartree–Fock method and the irreducible tensor theory, we have proposed an analytic formula for calculating the nonrelativistic energies of many-electron atoms. The relativistic mass, the one- and two-body Darwin, the spin–spin contact interaction, and the orbit–orbit interaction corrections to the energies are considered to make the results more precise. The angular interactions and spin sums involved in the formula are worked out explicitly using the irreducible theory. A program based on the variational method is developed to calculate the wave functions and atomic structure properties. The energies of the 1sns 1,3S (n = 1–4) and 1snp 1,3P (n = 2–4) states of the exemplary ions Ar16+, Fe24+, and Kr34+ in both Debye plasma and quantum plasma environments are given. Moreover, we analyzed the evolution of plasma screening parameters and provided some rules for practical and rapid evaluation in plasma applications.

Β-glucan is a strongly hydrophilic non-starchy polysaccharide, which, when incorporated in food, is renowned for its ability to alter functional characteristics such as viscosity, rheology, texture, and sensory properties of the food product. The functional properties of β-glucans are directly linked to their origin/source, molecular weight, and structural features. The molecular weight and structural/conformational features are in turn influenced by method of extraction and modification of the β-glucan. For example, whereas physical modification techniques influence only the spatial structures, modification by chemical agents, enzyme hydrolysis, mechanical treatment, and irradiation affect both spatial conformation and primary structures of β-glucan. Consequently, β-glucan can be modified (via one or more of the aforementioned techniques) into forms that have desired morphological, rheological, and (bio)functional properties. This review describes how various modification techniques affect the structure, properties, and applications of β-glucans in the food industry.
