Abstract:
... Spatial segmentation aims to find homogeneous/heterogeneous subgroups of spectra or ion images in mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) data. The maps it generated inform researchers of vital characteristics of the data and thus provide the basis for strategizing further biological analysis. Dimensional reduction and clustering are two basic steps of segmentation. Due to the variations in the quality, r ...

Abstract:
... Twisted bilayer graphene (TBLG) has emerged as an exciting new material with tunable electronic properties, but current methods of fabrication and identification of TBLG are painstaking and laborious. We combine Raman spectroscopy with Gaussian mixture model (GMM) data clustering to identify areas with particular twist angles, from a TBLG sample with a mixture of orientations. We present two appro ...

Abstract:
... This study investigated the aroma-active compounds and compared the differences of three different grades of sesame-flavor Baijiu by headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) coupled with gas chromatography-olfactometry-mass spectrometry (GC-O-MS). A total of 54 aroma-active compounds were detected. Principal component analysis showed that JZ1, JZ2, and JZ3 were well separated from each othe ...

Abstract:
... The time-dependent rheological characteristics of pineapple pulp foam (PPF), prepared by whipping the pulp with varying concentrations (2–6%) of skim milk powder (SMP), were investigated at different shear rates (1, 10, and 50 s⁻¹). The PPF showed time-dependent shear-thinning behavior that could be explained by the Hahn and Figoni-Shoemaker models (r≤0.997). The time and shear-rate-dependent stru ...

Abstract:
... In Calabria (Southern Italy) naturally occurring asbestos (NOA) mainly occurs in the ophiolitic sequences cropping in the Mount Reventino area. The most common type of asbestos detected was the amphibole tremolite; fibrous antigorite and minor chrysotile were also found. The development of asbestos-related diseases depends on, among other things, the morphological characteristics of fibers, length ...

Abstract:
... Traditional approaches to characterize edible oils such as chemical, chromatographic and light absorption techniques are laborious, expensive, and bulky to implement. This paper presents the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy of 13 types of edible oils, a rapid robust approach to characterizing the electrical behavior of oils without sample preparation. This is achieved through probing the oil ...

Abstract:
... Tilapia is a freshwater fish group with a sustainable prospect but suffers off-notes appearing during cooking processes. To promote pleasant odorants by thermal cooking processes, tilapia fillets were cooked in different ways (roasting, microwave-heating, boiling and steaming). Their aroma profiles were analysed with special focus on off-notes and umami-enhancing odorants by principal component an ...

Abstract:
... Studies in recent years have shown that aquatic pollution by microplastics (MPs) can be considered to pose additional stress to amphibian populations. However, our knowledge of how MPs affect amphibians is very rudimentary, and even more limited is our understanding of their effects in combination with other emerging pollutants. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the possible toxicity of polyethylene MPs ...

Abstract:
... Non-destructive identification of the fungal disease has great importance as one of the challenges of the citrus post-harvest industry. In order to identify the fungal disease of Alternaria alternata, which occurred internally, the reflectance spectra were collected in 3 areas of the stem-end, equatorial and stylar-end of healthy and fungus-infected oranges using VIS-NIR spectrometer (400–1100 nm) ...

Abstract:
... Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are synthetic chemicals that are ubiquitous in environmental and biological systems, including human serum. PFASs are used in many products and industrial processes and are tied to numerous health effects. Due to multiple sources and exposure pathways, methods are needed to identify PFAS sources in communities to develop targeted interventions. We assess ...

Abstract:
... Plant diseases often reduce crop yield and product quality; therefore, plant disease diagnosis plays a vital role in farmers’ management decisions. Visual crop inspections by humans are time-consuming and challenging tasks and, practically, can only be performed in small areas at a given time, especially since many diseases have similar symptoms. An intelligent machine vision monitoring system for ...
