To achieve the rapid and accurate classification and identification of soybean components, this study selected soybeans harvested by the 4LZ-1.5 soybean combine harvester as the research subject. Hyperspectral images of soybean samples were collected...
Energy storage and dissipation by composite materials are important design parameters for sensors and other devices. While polymeric materials can reversibly store energy by decreased chain randomness (entropic loss) they fail to be able to dissipate...
It is known that chromosome number tends to decrease as genome size increases in angiosperm plants. Here the relationship between number of parts (the chromosomes) and size of the whole (the genome) is studied for other groups of organisms from diffe...
This paper presents a study on the suitability and accuracy of detecting structural cracks in brick masonry by exploiting the breakage of ordinary silica optical fibers bonded to its surface with an epoxy adhesive. The deformations and cracking of th...
Chromoanagenesis constitutes a group of events that arise from single cellular events during early development. This particular class of complex rearrangements is a newfound occurrence that may lead to chaotic and complex genomic realignments. By tha...
Long-span cable-stayed bridge is a typical wind-sensitive structure because of its light weight and great flexibility. The reliability evaluation of the cable-stayed bridge under wind action becomes a key issue during bridge design and operation. In...
To investigate the sensitivity of the overall mechanical performance of steel–concrete composite beam bridges (SCCBBs) to different types of damage, this paper proposes a method of analyzing the sensitivity of SCCBBs to damage based on the extr...
The subject of this study is the optimization of the paper production process in one of Poland’s leading paper mills. In addition to its primary objective of paper production, the company generates heat and electricity for internal consumption...
We have investigated highly flexible memristive devices using reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanosheet nanocomposites with an embedded GQD Layer. Resistive switching behavior of poly (4-vinylphenol):graphene quantum dot (PVP:GQD) composite and HfOx hyb...
Temperature is an important exogenous factor capable of leading to irreversible processes in the vital activity of cells. However, the long-term effects of heat shock (HS) on mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) remain unstudied. We investigated the karyo...
A particle system’s large-deformation shear flow exhibits obvious random characteristics, making accurate modeling of the particle system difficult. Particle systems, which are frequently used in engineering, are prone to breakage, which introduces a...
The non-covalent interactions between a commercial whey protein isolate (WPI) and two bioactive polyphenols galangin and genistein were studied at pH 6.8 via the multi-spectroscopic assays and molecular docking. When forming these WPI-polyphenol comp...
The frequency of pathogenic large chromosome rearrangements detected in patients with different Mendelian diseases is truly diverse and can be remarkably high. Chromosome breaks could arise through different known mechanisms. Congenital PAX6-associat...

A risk-based approach to support water utilities in terms of defining pipe rehabilitation priorities is presented. In a risk analysis in the risk management process, the probability that a given event will happen and the consequences if it does happe...
Concrete is a complex heterogeneous material, and thus, it is important to develop numerical modeling methods to enhance the prediction accuracy of the fracture mechanism. In this study, a two-dimensional mesoscale model is developed using a non-ordi...
The increasing concentration of greenhouse gases is amplifying the global risk of drought on crop productivity. This study sought to investigate the effects of drought on the growth of maize (Zea mays L.) seedlings. A total of 78 maize hybrids were e...
Self-assembled fibrillation of wheat gluten is a common phenomenon in the daily production and processing of wheat flour products. The driving forces for its formation and the factors that influence the morphology of fibrils have not been thoroughly...
Fibers of poly(4-hydroxybutyrate) (P4HB) have been submitted to both hydrolytic and enzymatic degradation media in order to generate samples with different types and degrees of chain breakage. Random chain hydrolysis is clearly enhanced by varying te...
