Flexible Bayesian Inference for Identifying Significantly Correlated Multiple Pathway Sets. [PDF]

Stat Med
ABSTRACT In this paper, we propose a flexible Bayesian inference to identify significantly correlated high‐dimensional functions with the response variable, which is challenging because the relationship between the response variable and high‐dimensional functions is unknown and complex due to the dependence among high‐dimensional functions. For example,

Determination of Aflatoxin M₁, Organochlorine Pesticides, and Heavy Metals in Raw Milk of Iran. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
The consumption of milk by different age groups makes its contamination as a crucial issue for public health. Therefore, the consumption of milk is considered in terms of AFM1, OCs, and heavy metals. Although monitoring of the milk safety is necessary. ABSTRACT The current study aimed to investigate aflatoxin M1 (AFM1), organochlorine pesticides (OCPs),

Risk assessment of replacing synthetic preservatives with natural ingredients. [PDF]

EFSA J
Abstract The present work, developed within the EU‐FORA fellowship programme, assessed the risk assessment of vegetable by‐product extracts as natural alternatives to synthetic preservatives in food formulations. Extracts were obtained from onion peel (Allium cepa L.), zucchini (Cucurbita pepo L.) and kale (Brassica oleracea L. var.

Insights on Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 Responses to HCH Isomers: Tolerance, Degradation, and Dynamics on Potential lin Genes Expression. [PDF]

Microbiologyopen
This study investigates the physiological responses of Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 to HCH isomers, emphasizing both its tolerance to these compounds and its ability to biodegrade them. The findings support the potential application of Anabaena in the bioremediation of environments contaminated with specific HCH isomers.

Mixture of organic pollutants is associated with cognitive aging. [PDF]

Alzheimers Dement
Abstract INTRODUCTION Environmental organic pollutants impact brain function and cognitive aging, but the effect of real‐world complex mixtures of these pollutants is unexplored. METHODS Using data collected at two time points from 170 cognitively normal adults, we used hierarchical Bayesian kernel machine regression to examine the association between ...
