An application of data mining to fruit and vegetable sample identification using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry [PDF]
One of the uses of Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) is in the detection of pesticide residues in fruit and vegetables. In a high throughput laboratory there is the potential for sample swaps or mislabelling, as once a sample has been pre ...

RoboChop: Autonomous Framework for Fruit and Vegetable Chopping Leveraging Foundational Models [PDF]
With the goal of developing fully autonomous cooking robots, developing robust systems that can chop a wide variety of objects is important. Existing approaches focus primarily on the low-level dynamics of the cutting action, which overlooks some of the practical real-world challenges of implementing autonomous cutting systems.

Improved Screening of cDNAs Generated by mRNA Differential Display Enables the Selection of True Positives and the Isolation of Weakly Expressed Messages [PDF]
The high percentage of false positives generated by differential display (as high as 85%) has previously limited the potential of the method. This report describes an efficient methodology that enables false positives to be discarded prior to cloning ...

Microlasers Made Entirely from Edible Substances
Several types of microlasers made completely out of edible substances are developed. They can be embedded directly into edible products and enable the sensing of various parameters, including sugar concentration, pH, the presence of bacteria, and exposure to too‐high temperatures.
