The potential of computer vision, optical backscattering parameters and artificial neural network modelling in monitoring the shrinkage of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) during drying.

Journal of the science of food and agriculture
BACKGROUND: Drying is a method used to preserve agricultural crops. During the drying of products with high moisture content, structural changes in shape, volume, area, density and porosity occur. These changes could affect the final quality of dried...

Light-Driven, Caterpillar-Inspired Miniature Inching Robot.

Macromolecular rapid communications
Liquid crystal elastomers are among the best candidates for artificial muscles, and the materials of choice when constructing microscale robotic systems. Recently, significant efforts are dedicated to designing stimuli-responsive actuators that can r...

A Fast SVM-Based Tongue's Colour Classification Aided by -Means Clustering Identifiers and Colour Attributes as Computer-Assisted Tool for Tongue Diagnosis.

Journal of healthcare engineering
In tongue diagnosis, colour information of tongue body has kept valuable information regarding the state of disease and its correlation with the internal organs. Qualitatively, practitioners may have difficulty in their judgement due to the instable ...

Simulated herbivory does not constrain phenotypic plasticity to shade through ontogeny in a relict tree.

Plant biology (Stuttgart, Germany)
Ecological limits to phenotypic plasticity (PP), induced by simultaneous biotic and abiotic factors, can prevent organisms from exhibiting optimal plasticity, and in turn lead to decreased fitness. Herbivory is an important biotic stressor and may li...

Toxicity of titanium dioxide nanoparticles on Pseudomonas putida.

Water research
The increasing use of engineered nanoparticles (NPs) in industrial and household applications will very likely lead to the release of such materials into the environment. As wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are usually the last barrier before the ...

Estimating the dim light melatonin onset of adolescents within a 6-h sampling window: the impact of sampling rate and threshold method.

Sleep medicine
OBJECTIVE/BACKGROUND: Circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders (CRSWDs) often manifest during the adolescent years. Measurement of circadian phase such as the dim light melatonin onset (DLMO) improves diagnosis and treatment of these disorders, but fina...

Computational classification of different wild-type zebrafish strains based on their variation in light-induced locomotor response.

Computers in biology and medicine
Zebrafish larvae display a rapid and characteristic swimming behaviour after abrupt light onset or offset. This light-induced locomotor response (LLR) has been widely used for behavioural research and drug screening. However, the locomotor responses ...

A Neural Network Model for K(λ) Retrieval and Application to Global Kpar Monitoring.

PloS one
Accurate estimation of diffuse attenuation coefficients in the visible wavelengths Kd(λ) from remotely sensed data is particularly challenging in global oceanic and coastal waters. The objectives of the present study are to evaluate the applicability...

Evaluation of extra virgin olive oil stability by artificial neural network.

Food chemistry
The stability of extra virgin olive oil in polyethylene terephthalate bottles and tinplate cans stored for 6 months under dark and light conditions was evaluated. The following analyses were carried out: free fatty acids, peroxide value, specific ext...

Machine learning-guided fabrication of carbon dot-pepsin nano-conjugates for enhanced bioimaging, synergistic drug delivery, and visible light-induced photosensitization.

Nanoscale
Carbon dots (CDs) are emerging as next-generation bioimaging agents due to their strong fluorescence, photobleaching resistance, and biocompatibility. However, their small size often limits efficient cell internalization, leading to unspecified cellu...
