Efficiency of population-dependent sulfite against Brettanomyces bruxellensis in red wine.

Brettanomyces bruxellensis is considered as a spoilage yeast encountered mainly in red wine. It is able to reduce vinylphenols from phenolic acids to ethylphenols. These volatiles are responsible for the phenolic "Brett character" described as animal, farm, horse sweat and animal leather odors. Other molecules are responsible for organoleptic deviations described as "mousiness taint". SO is the pr...

Advancing the Strategic Messages Affecting Robot Trust Effect: The Dynamic of User- and Robot-Generated Content on Human-Robot Trust and Interaction Outcomes.

Human-robot interaction (HRI) will soon transform and shift the communication landscape such that people exchange messages with robots. However, successful HRI requires people to trust robots, and, in turn, the trust affects the interaction. Although prior research has examined the determinants of human-robot trust (HRT) during HRI, no research has examined the messages that people received before...

Machine Learned Replacement of N-Labels for Basecalled Sequences in DNA Barcoding.

This study presents a machine learning method that increases the number of identified bases in Sanger Sequencing. The system post-processes a KB basec...

Improving the ground reaction force prediction accuracy using one-axis plantar pressure: Expansion of input variable for neural network.

In this study, we describe a method to predict 6-axis ground reaction forces based solely on plantar pressure (PP) data obtained from insole type meas...

Using machine learning to predict radiation pneumonitis in patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy.

To develop a patient-specific 'big data' clinical decision tool to predict pneumonitis in stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients after st...

Prediction of selective estrogen receptor beta agonist using open data and machine learning approach.

BACKGROUND: Estrogen receptors (ERs) are nuclear transcription factors that are involved in the regulation of many complex physiological processes in ...

Non-reward neural mechanisms in the orbitofrontal cortex.

Single neurons in the primate orbitofrontal cortex respond when an expected reward is not obtained, and behaviour must change. The human lateral orbit...

Automatic detection of osteoporosis based on hybrid genetic swarm fuzzy classifier approaches.

OBJECTIVES: This study proposed a new automated screening system based on a hybrid genetic swarm fuzzy (GSF) classifier using digital dental panoramic...

Overweight postmenopausal women with different plasma estradiol concentrations present with a similar pattern of energy expenditure and substrate oxidation rate before and after a fatty meal challenge.

Menopause-related withdrawal of ovarian estrogens is associated with reduced energy metabolism and overall impairment of substrate oxidation. Estradio...

The diagnostic value of serum CEA, NSE and MMP-9 for on-small cell lung cancer.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer related deaths worldwide. But no one type of serum biomarker was found to be highly ...

Artificial Intelligence for the Evaluation of Operational Parameters Influencing Nitrification and Nitrifiers in an Activated Sludge Process.

Nitrification at a full-scale activated sludge plant treating municipal wastewater was monitored over a period of 237 days. A combination of fluoresce...

Seeing Minds in Others - Can Agents with Robotic Appearance Have Human-Like Preferences?

Ascribing mental states to non-human agents has been shown to increase their likeability and lead to better joint-task performance in human-robot inte...

A high response to controlled ovarian stimulation induces premature luteinization with a negative impact on pregnancy outcomes in a gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist cycle.

OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum progesterone (P4) levels on the day of human chorionic gonadotropi...

Progesterone supplementation during the time of pregnancy recognition after artificial insemination improves conception rates in high-producing dairy cows.

This study examines the possible effects of progesterone (P4) supplementation during the time of pregnancy recognition, from Days 15 to 17 post-artifi...

Investigation of free amino acid, total phenolics, antioxidant activity and purine alkaloids to assess the health properties of non-Camellia tea.

To find novel functional beverages from folk teas, 33 species of frequently used non-Camellia tea (plants other than Camellia) were collected and comp...

Serum profile of cytokines interferon gamma and interleukin-10 in ewes subjected to artificial insemination by cervical retraction.

This study evaluated the influence of artificial insemination (AI) by cervical retraction (CRI) on serum levels of interferon gamma (IFNγ) and interle...

Alterations in bone morphogenetic protein 15, growth differentiation factor 9, and gene expression in granulosa cells in preovulatory follicles of dairy cows given porcine LH.

In a previous work, using porcine LH (pLH) in lieu of GnRH for synchronizing ovulation in dairy cows improved pregnancy rates without increasing plasm...

Automatic Estimation of Osteoporotic Fracture Cases by Using Ensemble Learning Approaches.

Ensemble learning methods are one of the most powerful tools for the pattern classification problems. In this paper, the effects of ensemble learning ...

Insulin improves in vitro survival of equine preantral follicles enclosed in ovarian tissue and reduces reactive oxygen species production after culture.
