Effect of illite pretreatment on germinated Brown rice with Special Reference to amino acids, antioxidants, texture, and mineral elements.

The pretreatment process of various foods has been reported to improve their nutritional properties. The soaking of brown rice improves the texture and nutrients, which are crucial for cooking and maintaining its high functional value. Illite, a clay mineral, has recently been discovered to improve the nutritional value of seeds.

VR-HandNet: A Visually and Physically Plausible Hand Manipulation System in Virtual Reality.

This study aims to allow users to perform dexterous hand manipulation of objects in virtual environments with hand-held VR controllers. To this end, the VR controller is mapped to the virtual hand and the hand motions are dynamically synthesized when the virtual hand approaches an object. At each frame, given the information about the virtual hand, VR controller input, and hand-object spatial relations, the deep neural network determines the desired joint orientations of the virtual hand model in the next frame.
