Overcoming Challenges in Food Product Development – A Case Study of a Functional Bread, Branded Nothing Else™

Abstract Consumer demand for healthier functional bread has increased over the past decades. However, the development and marketability of functional bread with appealing physical and textural qualities that will demonstrate health-promoting benefits have challenges. This case st...

Uncertainty-Aware Bayesian Machine Learning for Thermo-Kinetic Parameter Estimation from Noisy Temperature Profiles

Temperature–time profiles obtained through thermistor-based monitoring provide a rich but noise-sensitive source of information for estimating kinetic and thermal parameters in exothermic batch reactions. Conventional workflows typically combine deterministic smoothing with numer...

Aspirin use for pre-eclampsia prevention in IVF/ICSI pregnancies in Kumasi, Ghana: a prospective cohort study

Pregnancies conceived through assisted reproductive technology (ART) have a substantially elevated risk of pre-eclampsia, and international guideline classify ART as a high-risk factor warranting low-dose aspirin prophylaxis. However, data on aspirin utilisation and effectiveness...

A systematic review of agricultural ash supplementary cementitious materials as low-carbon alternatives to ordinary Portland cement from 2005 to 2025

The cement industry contributes almost 8% of global CO₂ emissions, creating an urgent need to develop scalable low-carbon substitutes for ordinary Portland cement (OPC). Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) based on agricultural ashes have emerged as potential candidates,...

Hybrid CD‐MMSE Two‐Timescale Channel Estimation for RIS‐Assisted 6G Systems

ABSTRACT Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) represent a transformative technology for enhancing coverage and energy efficiency in sixth‐generation (6G) wireless networks. However, the substantial pilot overhead required to estimate cascaded channels remains a critical bott...
