From times immemorial, colorants, and flavorings have been used in foods. Color and flavor are the major attributes to the quality of a food product, affecting the appearance and acceptance of the product. As a consequence of the increased demand of natural flavoring and colorant from industries, there is a renewed interest in the research on the composition and recovery of natural food flavors...

This document contains additional comparisons of our approach and commercial software [1] on large real-world datasets. 1 Additional ExperimentsSection 2.3 of the paper introduced commercial software [1] as a state-of-the-art technique of pipe-run reconstruction. We purchased a license and used theirautomatical pipeline to reconstruct pipe-runs from the same dataset in Figure11 ...

During textile manufacturing processing, it is vital to inspect, detect, assess and rectify defects as soon as they emerge. This is particularly important for fabric engineering and finishing, as the fabric quality directly affects the quality of their final products. In textile industry history, visual inspection and classification were common practice. The nature of traditional manual inspect...

The bidirectional reflectance distribution function has a four dimensional parameter space and such high dimensionality makes it impractical to use it directly in hardware rendering. When a BRDF has no analytical representation, common solutions to overcome this problem include expressing it as a sum of basis functions or factorizing it into several functions of smaller dimensions. This thesis ...

Four methods for extracting nucleic acids from lyophilized cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. cv. Stoneville 62) leaves and roots were compared. They were based on the use of: (I) HC10(4); (II) KOH; (III) a mixture of 90% phenol, Tris (hydroxymethyl) aminomethane buffer, and sodium lauryl sulfate; and (IV) NaCl. (I) extracted large amounts of RNA but little DNA and extracted much carbohydrate and pr...

An ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) method was developed for the efficient extraction of natural antioxidants from the flowers of Jatropha integerrima. Four independent variables, including ethanol concentration, solvent/material ratio, ultrasound irradiation time and temperature were studied by single factor experiments. Then, the central composite rotatable design and response surface met...

Symbolic machine learning techniques can extract exible and comprehensible knowledge from empirical data of material behavior. The diversity of symbolic machine learning techniques ooers potential to match the requirements of many tasks when models of material behavior need to be created from data. We develop a series of steps for generating material behavior from empirical data and exemplify s...

In diagnostic and research bacteriology settings with budget and staff restrictions, fast and cost-effective genome extraction methods are desirable. If not inactivated properly, cellular and/or environmental DNA nucleases will degrade genomic material during the extraction stage, and therefore might give rise to incorrect results in PCR experiments. When crude cell extracts, proteinase K–treat...
