Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The temporary transition of macrophages from a pro‐inflammatory phenotype of macrophages (M1) to an anti‐inflammatory phenotype of macrophages (M2) is crucial for tissue repair and regeneration processes. Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are utilized as a “trojan horse” for specific M1 macrophage‐targeting and anti‐inflammatory drug delivery ...

Food Waste Estimation Using Received Signal Strength Indicator [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Food loss and waste is a problem with rising global recognition. Attempts to combat food waste at institutional levels such as college campus dining halls require insight into food waste statistics to evaluate efforts to reduce food waste. Gathering such data is currently costly, requiring manual sorting and weighing of trash bin contents.

Evolutionary Hierarchical Harvest Schedule Optimization for Food Waste Prevention [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 In order to avoid disadvantages of monocropping for soil and environment, it is advisable to practice intercropping of various plant species whenever possible. However, intercropping is challenging as it requires a balanced planting schedule due to individual cultivation time frames. Maintaining a continuous harvest reduces logistical costs and related

A Comparison of the Mechanical Properties of ECM Components and Synthetic Self‐Assembling Peptides
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Self‐assembling peptide hydrogels are increasingly utilized in biomedical applications. The authors review the key mechanical properties of these structures across multiple size scales and compare them to that of native extracellular matrix components, which are found to display a much wider range of structural attributes.

Transforming agrifood production systems and supply chains with digital twins [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Digital twins can transform agricultural production systems and supply chains, curbing greenhouse gas emissions, food waste and malnutrition. However, the potential of these advanced virtualization technologies is yet to be realized. Here, we consider the promise of digital twins across five typical agrifood supply chain steps and emphasize key ...
