Vitamin K content of Australian-grown horticultural commodities.

Vitamin K is a multi-function vitamin that has emerging roles in bone, brain and vascular health. Vitamin K composition data remain limited globally and Australia has lacked nationally representative data for vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) in horticultural commodities. Primary samples (n = 927) of 90 Australian-grown fruit, vegetable and nut commodities were purchased in three Australian cities.

Effect of household cooking on the retention of vitamin D and 25-hydroxyvitamin D in pulse UV-irradiated, air-dried button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus).

Vitamin D deficiency has widespread global prevalence. Fresh mushrooms exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation generate vitamin D which remains after drying. It is not clear if vitamin D is retained after rehydration and cooking of dried mushrooms.

The Retention of Vitamin D and 25-Hydroxyvitamin D in Pulse UV-Irradiated Dried Button Mushrooms () after 12 Months of Storage.

Fresh mushrooms exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation prior to drying generate high concentrations of vitamin D. The aim of this study was to determine the retention of D vitamers in mushrooms that were pulse UV irradiated, then air dried, and stored for up to 12 months. Fresh button mushrooms () were exposed to pulsed UV radiation (dose 200 mJ/cm, peak of 17.

Noise-resilient and high-speed deep learning with coherent silicon photonics.

The explosive growth of deep learning applications has triggered a new era in computing hardware, targeting the efficient deployment of multiply-and-accumulate operations. In this realm, integrated photonics have come to the foreground as a promising energy efficient deep learning technology platform for enabling ultra-high compute rates. However, despite integrated photonic neural network layouts have already penetrated successfully the deep learning era, their compute rate and noise-related characteristics are still far beyond their promise for high-speed photonic engines.

Unbiased Plasmonic-Assisted Integrated Graphene Photodetectors.

Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for next-generation optical communication interconnects and all-optical signal processing require efficient (∼A/W) and fast (≥25 Gbs) light detection at low ( View Article and Find Full Text PDF
