Portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) and Diffuse Reflectance Fourier Transformed Mid-Infrared (DRIFT-MIR) spectroscopy are rapid and cost-effective analytical tools for material characterization. Here, we provide an assessment of these methods for the ...
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a hyperglycaemic imbalance first recognized during pregnancy, and affects up to 22% of pregnancies worldwide, bringing negative maternal-fetal consequences in the short- and long-term. In order to better charact...
Different varieties and geographical origins of walnut usually lead to different nutritional values, contributing to a big difference in the final price. The conventional analytical techniques have some unavoidable limitations, e.g., chemical analysi...

BACKGROUND: To evaluate the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) combined with deep learning models to allow for quick diagnosis of abnormal thyroid function.
Microplastics are defined as microscopic plastic particles in the range from few micrometers and up to 5 mm. These small particles are classified as primary microplastics when they are manufactured in this size range, whereas secondary microplastics ...
Discharging coloring products in water bodies has degraded water quality irreversibly over the past several decades. Order mesoporous carbon (OMC) was modified by embedding neodymium(III) chloride on the surface of OMC to enhance the adsorptive remov...
, which is one of the largest genera of Gentianoideae, most of which had potential pharmaceutical value, and applied to local traditional medical treatment. Because of the phytochemical diversity and difference of bioactive compounds among species, w...
