In various application domains/sectors, data collected from the respective industries are complemented with open providing added value to overall analysis and decision making process. Open refer weather data, transportation information, stock/investment products prices, or even health-related data. One of domains that could harvest added-value analytics (including open-data) refers food industr...

For the problem of parameter learning in pattern recognition, when there is a pos~ibility of training samples being mislabeled, the authors have investigated the convergence of stochastic-approximation-based learning algorithms. ln the caSeS considered. il is found that estimates converge 10 nonlrue values in the presence of labeling errors. The general ",-class, N-kature pallern recognition pr...

abstract- today, the authenticity of meat products with less costly and desirable species has increased. therefore and considering religious, economicalor public health concerns, proper actions should be taken to prevent such frauds. in this study, real time pcr assay was applied for rapid, sensitive and specific identification and quantification of chicken tissue in meat products. specific pri...

The real-world applications to massive data processing raise two huge challenges to the traditional supervised machine learning. First, the sufficient training examples to ensure the generalization ability become unavailable, since the task of labeling examples by experts is time-consuming and expensive; second, it is impossible to load massive data into memory, and the response time is unaccep...

Studies of children with atypical emotional experience demonstrate that childhood exposure to high levels of hostility and threat biases emotion perception. This study investigates emotion processing, in former child soldiers and non-combatant civilians. All participants have experienced prolonged violence exposure during childhood. The study, carried out in Sierra Leone, aimed to examine the e...

Authentic samples of commercially produced organic and conventionally grown tomatoes, lettuces, and carrots were collected and analyzed for their delta15N composition in order to assemble datasets to establish if there are any systematic differences in nitrogen isotope composition due to the method of production. The tomato and lettuce datasets suggest that the different types of fertilizer com...

Castanea sativa Mill. is a valuable species with historical and economic importance in Europe, particularly the Mediterranean area. In Italy, chestnut cultivation has been developed for centuries, leading to recognition of more than 300 varieties. Nevertheless, profusion local names assigned by growers, causing occurrence synonyms homonyms across country. This research focused on genetic charac...
