Soft robotics for farm to fork: applications in agriculture & farming

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes, Kai Christian Junge

Agricultural tasks and environments range from harsh field conditions with semi-structured produce or animals, through to post-processing tasks in food-processing environments. From farm to fork, the development and application of soft robotics offers a pl ...

The Effects of Time-Restricted Eating versus Standard Dietary Advice on Weight, Metabolic Health and the Consumption of Processed Food: A Pragmatic Randomised Controlled Trial in Community-Based Adults

Felix Naef, Nicholas Edward Phillips

Weight loss is key to controlling the increasing prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) and its components, i.e., central obesity, hypertension, prediabetes and dyslipidaemia. The goals of our study were two-fold. First, we characterised the relationships ...

Reversible and Broad-Range Oxygen Sensing Based on Purely Organic Long-Lived Photoemitters

Esther Amstad, René M. Rossi, Efe Armagan

The detection of oxygen (O-2) by optical sensors is of growing importance, for example, in biology, life science, environmental science, and aerodynamics, where the composition of gases is crucial for many applications. Purely organic optical O-2 sensors a ...

Responses of reef bioindicators to recent temperature anomalies in distinct areas of the North Ari and Rasdhoo atolls (Maldives)

Arthur Adams, Aurélie Angéloz, Anaël Lehmann

Assessments of reef sediments in the North Ari Atoll (Maldives) were conducted in 2015 and 2018 on reefs of three islands with different management strategies: community, resort, and uninhabited. Indices applied were the Foraminifera in Reef Assessment and ...

Microbiological contamination of cosmetic products - observations from Europe, 2005-2018

Florentino Luciano Caetano Dos Santos

Background Although cosmetic products are not expected to be fully aseptic, their potential microbiological contamination might be dangerous, especially for immunocompromised patients. The extent of such contamination of cosmetics in Europe is poorly studi ...

Macroinvertebrate community traits and nitrate removal in stream sediments

Tom Ian Battin

In-stream nitrate removal capacity may be used as a proxy for the ecosystem service of water quality regulation. It is well known that this natural function is driven by abiotic and biotic factors in running water environments. With regard to biotic dri ...

The use of solid-phase fluorescence spectroscopy in the characterisation of organic matter transformations

Remy Jean Henry Albrecht

Given its high sensitivity and non-destructive nature, fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (EEM) spectroscopy is widely used to differentiate changes and transformations of dissolved or water-extracted organic matter (OM) in natural environments. The s ...

Gut physiology mediates a trade-off between adaptation to malnutrition and susceptibility to food-borne pathogens

Bruno Lemaitre, Sveta Chakrabarti, Sylvain Kolly

The animal gut plays a central role in tackling two common ecological challenges, nutrient shortage and food-borne parasites, the former by efficient digestion and nutrient absorption, the latter by acting as an immune organ and a barrier. It remains unkno ...

Distributed Decision-Making Over Adaptive Networks

Ali H. Sayed

In distributed processing, agents generally collect data generated by the same underlying unknown model (represented by a vector of parameters) and then solve an estimation or inference task cooperatively. In this paper, we consider the situation in which ...

Electrochemical Pseudo-Titration of Water-Soluble Antioxidants

Hubert Girault, Andreas Stephan Lesch, Fernando Cortes Salazar, Alice Adei Neequaye

An amperometric test for the antioxidant power (AOP) of biological and food samples is presented. The gist of the method is to measure by linear sweep voltammetry the anodic current produced during the oxidation of the labile species present in the sample ...
