The effect of whey protein concentrate based edible coating incorporating different concentrations of natamycin and lysozyme-xanthan gum conjugate on ultrafiltrated white cheese shelf life was investigated. Escherichia coli O157: H7 (as an indicator for gram negative bacteria), Staphylococcus aureus (as an indicator of gram-positive bacteria), and Penicillium chrysogenum (as a mold) were inocul...

BACKGROUND Early identification of frailty is important for proactive primary care. Currently, however, there is no consensus on which measure to use. Therefore, we examined whether a Frailty Index (FI), based on ICPC-coded primary care data, and the Groningen Frailty Indicator (GFI) questionnaire identify the same older people as frail. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional, observational s...

Errors in navigational instruments can significantly affect flight safety. Airspeed is a key piece of navigational data that depends on accurately measured air pressure, which in turn depends on accurately measured air temperature. Instead of measuring the outside air temperature in real time, cockpit instruments are preprogramed with standard air temperature values for different flight altitud...

The GERRI project materializes the Grenelle Environnement’s goals, of which the energy management of a territory is a facet. The aim is to forecast future energy production and consumption, bearing in mind economic and ecological indicators, and using a large number of interactions schemes between the involved parties. The originality of this paper is to present a new approach using the multi-a...

The paper describes user behavior as a result of introducing monetization in the freemium educational online platform. Monetization resulted in alternative system growth mechanisms causing viral increase in the number of users. System metrics in terms of the K-factor was utilized as an indicator of the system user base growth. The weekly K-factor doubled as a result of monetization introduction.

The P-star inflation model is based on the long-term quantity theory of money and puts together the long-term determinants of the price level and the short-run changes in current inflation. The P-star model-based indicator has replaced the previous monetary policy procedures in a number of countries because it offers by far more information and predictive power than monitoring movements in mone...

In 2015, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was adopted by all United Nations Member States and includes a set of 17 Goals. The indicator, “Ratio land consumption rate to population growth rate” (indicator 11.3.1) proposed monitoring urban development. present study proposes analysis built-up space evolution in relation demographic main metropolitan areas Romania using 11.3.1 indicator...

Most traditional approaches to anaphora resolution rely heavily on linguistic and domain knowledge. One of the disadvantages of developing a knowledgebased system, however, is that it is a very labourintensive and time-consuming task. This paper presents a robust, knowledge-poor approach to resolving pronouns in technical manuals. This approach is a modification of the practical approach (Mitko...
