Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) that metabolize sugars to obtain energy and produce a large amount of lactate through the process are well known for their benefits. However, they can be used on a large scale only when good storage stability is guaranteed. The vitality and stability of several LAB strains were effectively protected in this investigation by L-theanine at 1% of the appropriate concentration (Lactiplantibacillus plantarum MG5023, Enterococcus faecium MG5232, Lactococcus lactis MG4668, Streptococcus thermophilus MG5140, and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp.

Graph neural networks (GNNs) have shown remarkable performance in predicting the retention time (RT) for small molecules. However, the training data set for a particular target chromatographic system tends to exhibit scarcity, which poses a challenge because the experimental process for measuring RT is costly. To address this challenge, transfer learning has been used to leverage an abundant training data set from a related source task.

The automation of organic compound synthesis is pivotal for expediting the development of such compounds. In addition, enhancing development efficiency can be achieved by incorporating autonomous functions alongside automation. To achieve this, we developed an autonomous synthesis robot that harnesses the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotic technology to establish optimal synthetic recipes.

In this study, we proposed an image conversion method that efficiently removes raindrops on a camera lens from an image using a deep learning technique. The proposed method effectively presents a raindrop-removed image using the Pix2pix generative adversarial network (GAN) model, which can understand the characteristics of two images in terms of newly formed images of different domains. The learning method based on the captured image has the disadvantage that a large amount of data is required for learning and that unnecessary noise is generated owing to the nature of the learning model.

Mandibular fractures are the most common fractures in dentistry. Since diagnosing a mandibular fracture is difficult when only panoramic radiographic images are used, most doctors use cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to identify the patient's fracture location. In this study, considering the diagnosis of mandibular fractures using the combined deep learning technique, YOLO and U-Net were used as auxiliary diagnostic methods to detect the location of mandibular fractures based on panoramic images without CBCT.

Mandibular fracture is one of the most frequent injuries in oral and maxillo-facial surgery. Radiologists diagnose mandibular fractures using panoramic radiography and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Panoramic radiography is a conventional imaging modality, which is less complicated than CBCT.

Unlabelled: In most solution-processed organic devices, a poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) polymerized with poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) film is inevitably affected by various conditions during the subsequent solution-coating processes. To investigate the effects of direct solvent exposure on the properties of PEDOT polymerized with PSS (PEDOT:PSS) films, photoemission spectroscopy-based analytical methods were used before and after solvent-coating processes. Our results clearly indicate that

Pedot: PSS films undergo a different transition mechanism depending on the solubility of the solvent in water.
