The SLED (Shelf Life Expiration Date) Tracking System: Using Machine Learning Algorithms to Combat Food Waste and Food Borne Illnesses [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
The issue of food waste is a major problem contributing to the emission of greenhouse gases into the environment in addition to causing illness in humans. This research aimed to develop a correlation between the amount of time until a food spoiled and dates on food labels in conjunction with sensory observations.

Biomimetic Spider Silk by Crosslinking and Functionalization with Multiarm Polyethylene Glycol

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bioconjugation of recombinant mini‐spidroins with multiarm polyethylene glycol (PEG) is employed to produce artificial spider silk, which can be crosslinked and chemically functionalized while maintaining a biomimetic spinning approach. The best fibers exhibit enhanced tensile strength and/or extensibility, both contributing to an increased toughness ...

A systematic review of contaminants in donor human milk

Maternal & Child Nutrition
AbstractDonor human milk (DHM) from a milk bank is the recommended feeding method for preterm infants when the mother's own milk (MOM) is not available. Despite this recommendation, information on the possible contamination of donor human milk and its impact on infant health outcomes is poorly characterised.

How and why to be human milk donor?

Online Brazilian Journal of Nursing, 2008
It is a research developed at a Human Milk Bank to inquire as the mother givers had become Human Milk (HM) giver of a Human Milk Bank (HMB). To identify, according to these, which the reasons that had stimulated them to be givers.Qualitative research through a HMB in a maternity of great transport of Fortaleza-Ce in 2005.

Masked Diffusion with Task-awareness for Procedure Planning in Instructional Videos [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
A key challenge with procedure planning in instructional videos lies in how to handle a large decision space consisting of a multitude of action types that belong to various tasks. To understand real-world video content, an AI agent must proficiently discern these action types (e.g., pour milk, pour water, open lid, close lid, etc.) based on brief ...

A Novel Protein‐Polysaccharide Oral Nanoemulsion Targeting Activated Hepatic Stellate Cells to Enhance the Therapeutic Effect of Pirfenidone on Fibrosis After Transarterial Chemoembolization for Liver Cancer

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) may aggravate liver fibrosis. In this study, a novel oral targeting nanoemulsion is fabricated to enhance the therapeutic effect of antifibrotic drug‐pirfenidone (PFD) on fibrosis after TACE. Studies have shown that PFD nanoemulsion can enhance the oral liver targeting effect of PFD, and effectively improve the ...

Validation of Information Fusion [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
We motivate and offer a formal definition of validation as it applies to information fusion systems. Common definitions of validation compare the actual state of the world with that derived by the fusion process. This definition conflates properties of the fusion system with properties of systems that intervene between the world and the fusion system ...

Biomimetic Co‐delivery of Lenvatinib and FePt Nanoparticles for Enhanced Ferroptosis/Apoptosis Treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a novel HCC treatment using poly lactic‐co‐glycolic acid (PLGA) nanoparticles encased in HCC cell membranes to co‐deliver Lenvatinib and FePt nanoparticles. This approach improves treatment efficacy by enhancing ferroptosis and apoptosis.
