Non-Destructive Classification of Ataulfo Mango Ripeness Using Color Images and Machine Learning

Automatic classification of Ataulfo mango (Mangifera indica L.) ripeness is essential to ensure consistent quality, standardize post-harvest processes, and reduce the subjectivity of traditional visual inspection, which is unreliable and error-prone. This paper aims to develop a...

Pinoresinol as a Potential c-Myc Complex Modulator: An In Silico Study

The c-Myc oncoprotein is a central regulator of oncogenic transcriptional programs that remains challenging to inhibit directly, necessitating strategies that target c-Myc–associated protein complexes rather than the protein alone. This study conducted an in silico evaluation of...

Ultrasound-Assisted Enzymatic Processing of Grasshopper (Sphenarium purpurascens): Comparative Assessment and Characterization of Protein Hydrolysates

The increasing demand for sustainable protein sources has stimulated interest in edible insects such as the Mexican grasshopper (Sphenarium purpurascens). This study evaluated grasshopper flour as a substrate for producing protein hydrolysates by ultrasound-assisted enzymatic hyd...

‘Like a Fish in the Water’: Subjective Well‐Being and the Alignment of Perceptions of Democracy With Political Structures

ABSTRACT Happiness research has long highlighted the role of national culture, yet few studies distinguish between objective conditions and collective cultural environments in which citizens form political perceptions. Focusing on perceptions of democracy, this study examines how...

Relative gain array–based interaction modification via compensator design: experimental validation on a 2-DOF helicopter

This paper proposes a compensator design methodology based on the Relative Gain Array (RGA) for systematically modifying the steady-state interaction structure of linear multivariable systems. Unlike the conventional use of the RGA as an analysis tool for input–output pairing sel...

Genomic Potential and Climate Resilience of Agave angustifolia Haworth in Raicilla Production

Agave angustifolia Haw. is one of the primary sources for the production of mezcals such as raicilla and tuxca, in western Mexico. In Jalisco, Agave angustifolia evolved from being a pre-Hispanic ritual and food resource (200–1500 CE) to becoming the primary basis for 16th-centur...
