Opinion Mining From Social Media Short Texts: Does Collective Intelligence Beat Deep Learning?

The era of big data has, among others, three characteristics: the huge amounts of data created every day and in every form by everyday people, artificial intelligence tools to mine information from those data and effective algorithms that allow this data mining in real or close to real time. On the other hand, opinion mining in social media is nowadays an important parameter of social media market...

Aflatoxin B Degradation and Detoxification by CG1061 Isolated From Chicken Cecum.

Aflatoxin B (AFB) is one of the most hazardous mycotoxins contamination in food and feed products, which leads to hepatocellular carcinoma in humans and animals. In the present study, we isolated and characterized an AFB degrading bacteria CG1061 from chicken cecum, exhibited an 93.7% AFB degradation rate by HPLC. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and a multiplex PCR experiment demonstrated that CG1...
