Zjawisko gamingu ma zasadniczy związek z rozwojem platform oferujących funkcję streamingu ...

The multivariate analyses are useful tools to estimate the genetic variability between accessions. In the breeding programs, the Ward-Modified Location Model (MLM) multivariate method has been a powerful strategy to quantify variability using quantitative and qualitative variables simultaneously. The present study was proposed in view of the dearth of information about popcorn breeding programs...

With his claim to have increased sales of Coca Cola and popcorn in a movie theatre through subliminal messages Xashed on the screen, James Vicary raised the possibility of subliminal advertising. Nobody has ever replicated Vicary’s Wndings and his study was a hoax.

‘ This problem is selected from one of the Kaggle’s competitions [2]. In this problem, we dig a little ”deeper” into sentiment analysis. Word2Vec is a deep-learning inspired method that focuses on the meaning of words. Word2Vec [3] attempts to understand meaning and semantic relationships among words. It works in a way that is similar to deep approaches, such as recurrent neural nets or deep ne...

Gentle in-store drying of popping corn may reduce the risk of stress fissures being generated, an effect which reduces popcorn expansion volume. In order to allow optimisation studies of in-store drying to be conducted, thermophysical properties of two current Australian popping corn varieties were measured in the range 30-50°C, at moisture contents from 12% to 20% wb. Models were developed for...
