The harvest of fruit can be significantly advanced with the thriving development of intelligent and automated robot technologies. Nevertheless, the picking success rate of tomato fruit still requires improvement as some fruits are unexpectedly damaged inside, which is imperceptible by machine vision. Herein, a modelling method based on modified Vor...

The efficiency of self-healing microcapsule in restoring damages incurred by polymeric or composite materials is heavily dependent on modelling of encapsulation conditions to achieve optimized microcapsule with desired characteristics. This study modelled the effects of encapsulation conditions (core–shell ratio, agitation rate, and temperature) on...

Background Numerous studies have developed or validated prediction models to estimate the likelihood of postoperative pneumonia (POP) in esophageal cancer (EC) patients. The quality of these models and the evaluation of their applicability to clinical practice and future research remains unknown. This study systematically evaluated the risk of bias...

The Rockaways Peninsula faces issues related to congestion and power outages during times of peak usage. Additionally, it is susceptible to disruptions caused by disasters such as hurricanes and storms. In this paper, we propose a new methodology that employs multi-paradigm modelling and control for the design and implementation of interconnected m...

Fragmentation caused by artificial barriers is one of the main stressors of rivers worldwide. However, many barrier inventories only record large barriers, which underestimates barrier numbers, and hence fragmentation. Corrected barrier numbers can be obtained via river walkovers, but these are costly and time consuming. We assessed the performance...

Surface-energy anisotropy of metals is crucial for the stability and structure, however, its determining factors and structure-property relationship are still elusive. Herein, we identify three key factors for predicting surface-energy anisotropy of pure metals and alloys: the surface-atom density, coordination numbers and atomic radius. We find th...

Introduction Soil organic carbon (SOC) content can vary significantly across a given plot. Therefore, a representative sampling is a prerequisite to obtain meaningful results from analysis and of utter importance when SOC quantification is used to quantify (temporary) carbon dioxide removal (CDR). However, certain management practices aiming to inc...

The study aimed to assess the extent to which protein aggregation, and even the modality of aggregation, can affect gastric digestion, down to the nature of the hydrolyzed peptide bonds. By controlling pH and ionic strength during heating, linear or spherical ovalbumin (OVA) aggregates were prepared, then digested with pepsin.Statistical analysis c...

Process parameters of Capacitive Deionization (CDI) was investigated and optimized in this study. The effect of adsorption period (7–13 min), flow rate (5–20 ml min−1), and NaCl concentration (2–22 mM) on salt adsorption capacity was examined via Box-Behnken experimental design approach. A quadratic regression model (R2 = 0.9987) was developed, rev...
