... This paper presented a method to detect adulterated mutton using recurrence plot transformed by spectrum combined with convolutional neural network (RP-CNN). For this, 100 adulterated samples of mutton mixed with different proportions (0.5–1–2-5-10% (w/w)) of pork and 20 pure mutton samples were prepared. The results of the classification model of adulterated mutton and the quantitative prediction ...

Abstract:
... A novel method based on digital images in time domain combined with convolutional neural network (CNN) is proposed for discrimination and analysis of the adulterated mutton. For this, 195 sample images during the constant temperature heating process (about 10 min) were combined with CNN for qualitative discrimination and quantitative prediction of adulterated mutton. Furthermore, the hypothesis th ...
... A novel and reliable method to classify and quantify the adulterated minced mutton is proposed in this study based on thermal imaging combined with convolutional neural network (CNN). Firstly, thermal videos of 35 pure mutton samples, 35 pure pork samples, and 175 adulterated mutton samples (minced mutton mixed with pork at different levels: 10-20-30-40-50%) during continuous heating were collecte ...
... Channel network identification is an important practice in not only hydrologic analysis but also hydraulic computation. In this paper, a new algorithm, watershed merging, is proposed to automatically identify and extract channel networks. In the water‐merging algorithm, based on the fact that the sink cell of a dendritic watershed is either a depression cell or a flat cell, a macroscale approach i ...

... Soluble sugars, organic acids and volatiles are important components that determine unique fruit flavor and consumer preferences. However, the metabolic dynamics and underlying regulatory networks that modulate overall flavor formation during fruit development and ripening remain largely unknown for most fruit species. In this study, by integrating flavor‐associated metabolism and transcriptome da ...

Abstract:
... The Bonnet Carré Spillway (BCS) was constructed from 1929 to 1936 to protect the city of New Orleans from the Mississippi River floods. When the water stage of the Mississippi River is over 5.18 m of flood stage, BCS will be opened to divert the excessive flood water into the Gulf of Mexico through Lake Pontchartrain. During these flood release events, large amounts of freshwater, sediment and nut ...
... Aqueous rechargeable zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are attractive candidates for application in energy storage technology. However, the formation of Zn dendrites at a potential close to the Zn/Zn²⁺ redox potential can severely limit battery rechargeability and energy density. Herein, hexagonal MoO₃ (h-MoO₃) is proposed as an intercalation anode (discharge potential of 0.36 V (vs. Zn²⁺/Zn)) as a potent ...
... This paper presents a fully integrated coastal process model and a simple parametric cyclonic wind‐pressure model for simulation of wind, storm surges, waves, tidal currents, and river flows. By sharing one computational grid within all those process modules and no need for switching executable codes from one module to another, this full‐coupling feature eliminates possible errors and loss of info ...

Abstract:
... This paper presents an automatic mesh generation algorithm for body-fitted structured meshes in Computational Fluids Dynamics (CFD) analysis using the Advancing Extraction Method (AEM). The method is applicable to two-dimensional domains with complex geometries, which have the hierarchical tree-like topography with extrusion-like structures (i.e., branches or tributaries) and intrusion-like struct ...
... This study explores the influences of flow discharge and particle size on bedload transport trajectory by applying a depth-averaged two-dimensional model to a 110° sine-generated laboratory flume with wide-and-shallow sections. Calculated results exhibit two erosion regions in a bend: Zone-1—oreside of the point bar near the convex bank and Zone-2—near the apex of the concave bank. Sediments erode ...

Abstract:
... Polycomb group (PcG) proteins play vital roles in plant development via epigenetically repressing the transcription of target genes. However, to date, their function in fruit ripening is largely unknown. Combining reverse genetic approaches, physiological methods, yeast two‐hybrid, co‐immunoprecipitation, and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays, we show that Like Heterochromatin Protein 1b (SlLHP ...

Abstract:
... Natural photosynthetic proteins can convert solar energy into electrical energy with close to 100% quantum efficiency, and there is increasing interest in their use for sustainable photoelectrochemical devices. The primary processes of photosynthesis remain operational and efficient down to extremely low temperatures, and natural photosystems exhibit a variety of self-healing mechanisms. Herein we ...

Abstract:
... Many exciting developments have unfolded on the recently emerged research topic of solar-driven interfacial evaporation, which is a promising technology for water purification. However, the sole heat source, i.e., solar energy, has put a limit on the maximum achievable evaporation rate. Therefore, to boost the evaporation beyond the limit, we here in this work have put forth a new photothermal sys ...

... The exploitation of efficient earth-abundant electrocatalysts in a wide pH range is crucial for the practical application of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER); but it still remains challenging. Here we demonstrate novel self-supported hierarchical MoS₂/CoS₂ nanotube arrays as efficient pH-universal electrocatalysts, where Co metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are used as a precursor and sacrifici ...
