The current study deciphers the processing of different proportions of white flour and whole wheat flour (100:0, 75:25, 50:50: 25:75, and 0:100) into a pizza base using yeast-based fermentation. The bread making using the yeast system resulted in significant changes in the characteristics of bread, ranging from the porous structure development to the crumb cellular structure modifications. An increase in the proportions of whole wheat flour resulted in the formation of golden yellow pizza bases.

In the current study, the occurrence of coffee-induced short-term changes in electrocardiogram (ECG) signals was examined. Further, a machine learning model that can efficiently detect coffee-induced alterations in cardiac activity is proposed.

To be more specific, the Internet of Things (IoT) has shown potential application in connecting various medical devices, sensors, and healthcare professionals to provide quality medical services in a remote location. This has improved patient safety, reduced healthcare costs, enhanced the accessibility of healthcare services, and increased operational efficiency in the healthcare industry.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAn electrocardiograph (ECG) is the most effective way to find the changes in cardiac physiology. It is the representation of the electrical activities of the heart and can be understood using different waves, peaks, and intervals. Several factors affect the functionality of the heart that includes lifestyle, stress, daily diet, etc.

It is not only a valid issue for the developing countries but also for the developed countries. For this reason, scientists are working on the advancement of medical devices that are capable of decreasing the workload of health caregivers.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA set of electroencephalogram (EEG) data was obtained in the National Institute of Technology, Rourkela, India, from six individuals in the presence of seven photic stimuli of different frequencies (range: 3 Hz-30 Hz). The EEG data were recorded prior to, and post-consumption of caffeinated coffee for detecting the influence of coffee consumption on the initiation of steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) signals in different regions of the brain. The data supports the article: "Data mining-based approach to study the effect of consumption of caffeinated coffee on the generation of steady-state visual evoked potential signals" [1].
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEP), are elicited at the parieto-occipital region of the cortex when a light source (3.5-75 Hz), flickering at a constant frequency, stimulates the retinal cells. In the last few decades, researchers have reported that caffeine enhances the vigilance and the executive control of visual attention.
