Using deep convolutional neural networks to classify poisonous and edible mushrooms found in China [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Because of their abundance of amino acids, polysaccharides, and many other nutrients that benefit human beings, mushrooms are deservedly popular as dietary cuisine both worldwide and in China. However, if people eat poisonous fungi by mistake, they may suffer from nausea, vomiting, mental disorder, acute anemia, or even death. Each year in China, there

Dynamic and Stable Core Microbiota Assist Plants in Enriching Selenium and Reducing Cadmium Absorption

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
During different developmental stages of plants in natural Se–Cd coexisting soils, there is a group of rhizosphere microorganisms with highly dynamic abundance. The abundance variation of these microorganisms is strongly positively correlated with available Se and strongly negatively correlated with available Cd.

EDIBLES II. On the detectability of C60+ bands [PDF]

A&A 614, A28 (2018), 2018
Gas phase spectroscopic laboratory experiments for the buckminsterfullerene cation C60+ resulted in accurate rest wavelengths for five C60+ transitions that have been compared with diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) in the near infra-red. Detecting these in astronomical spectra is difficult due to the strong contamination of ground-based spectra by ...

Electronic Nanomaterials for Plants: A Review on Current Advances and Future Prospects

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Global food security faces mounting challenges from climate change and rapid population growth. This review highlights the pivotal role of electronic nanomaterials–including metals, metal oxides, and carbon‐based structures–in enhancing plant photosynthesis, nutrient uptake, and stress resilience. Furthermore, it explores how emerging platforms such as

Stringency and dissimilarity of Maximum Residue Levels affect bilateral agri‐food trade stability

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract Food standards are rising in both prevalence and stringency. They protect consumers and may enhance demand stability but also pose compliance challenges to producers, with ambiguous effects on the stability of trade relationships. We analyze the impact of importers' Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) along with bilateral MRL dissimilarity between ...

Parboiled rice supplementation alleviates high-fat diet-induced hyperlipidemia by regulating genes and gut microbiota in mice

Food Science and Human Wellness
Dietary parboiled rice (PR) has a low risk of disease, but little is known about the contribution of PR to the prevention of hyperlipidemia. The potential role and underlying mechanisms of PR in hyperlipidemia were evaluated in this study.

Edible meta-atoms [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Metamaterials are artificial structures with unusual and superior properties that come from their carefully designed building blocks -- also called meta-atoms. Metamaterials have permeated large swatches of science, including electromagnetics and mechanics. Although metamaterials hold the promise for realizing technological advances, their potential to

The ESO Diffuse Interstellar Bands Large Exploration Survey: EDIBLES I. Project description, survey sample and quality assessment [PDF]

A&A 606, A76 (2017), 2017
The carriers of the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are largely unidentified molecules ubiquitously present in the interstellar medium (ISM). After decades of study, two strong and possibly three weak near-infrared DIBs have recently been attributed to the C60+ fullerene based on observational and laboratory measurements.
