A High-Density Supercritical Fluid of H2
Abstract This study aimed to elucidate the structural evolution of supercritical fluid hydrogen (SCF H2) under high pressure. X-ray diffraction was performed on SCF H2 using synchrotron radiation at room temperature. The structure factor S(Q) was observed in a low-Q region at eac...

Diagnosis of bacterial adhesion performance of activated sludge based on AI-assisted image analysis
ABSTRACT To estimate the bacterial adhesion performance of activated sludge (AS), batch adhesion tests of Escherichia coli (E. coli) on AS and quantitative image analysis (QIA) with a deep learning-based image classifier for magnified AS images were conducted. The pseudo-first-or...

Potential of Seaweed to Improve the Quality and Shelf Life of Fish and Fishery Products
ABSTRACT The rapid growth of the global population has increased the demand for safe, healthy, and sustainable food, and fish supplies about 20% of the world's protein demand. Fishery products are rich in nutrient compositions such as moisture, protein, lipids, minerals, etc. Moi...
