Effects of perfluorooctanoic acid on the nutritional quality of Mytilus edulis.

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), which widely presents in marine environment, may produce some adverse effects to aquatic organism. Mytilus edulis are popular due to their high protein and low fat content in China. However, few studies have investigated the effects of PFOA on the quality of aquatic products.

A Novel Feature Extraction Algorithm and System for Flexible Integrated Circuit Packaging Substrate.

Aiming at the line defect detection of a flexible integrated circuit substrate (FICS) without reference template, there are some problems such as line discontinuity or inaccurate line defect location in the detection results. In order to address these problems, a line feature detection algorithm for extracting an FICS image is proposed. Firstly, FICS image acquisition is carried out by using the appearance defect intelligent detection system independently developed in our lab.

Immunotoxicity of Perfluorooctanoic Acid to the Marine Bivalve Species Ruditapes philippinarum.

Polyfluorinated alkylated substances are recognized as an important class of pollutants in marine environments. Bivalves are good model organisms for evaluating the toxicity of pollutants and monitoring marine environments. In the present study, immunotoxicity of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) was investigated by measuring biomarkers of the immune profile of Ruditapes philippinarum.

Integrated analysis of physiological, transcriptomics and metabolomics provides insights into detoxication disruption of PFOA exposure in Mytilus edulis.

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a persistent environmental contaminant, resists environmental degradation and bioaccumulates in food chains. Lots of literatures have proved that PFOA exposure could disrupt detoxifying function in a variety of organisms, however, it still remained poorly known about this in mollusk. Here, we examined physiological, transcriptomic, and metabolomic responses to PFOA in Mytilus edulis, a model organism frequently used in studies of aquatic pollution.

Customized 2D Barcode Sensing for Anti-Counterfeiting Application in Smart IoT with Fast Encoding and Information Hiding.

With the development of commodity economy, the emergence of fake and shoddy products has seriously harmed the interests of consumers and enterprises. To tackle this challenge, customized 2D barcode is proposed to satisfy the requirements of the enterprise anti-counterfeiting certification. Based on information hiding technology, the proposed approach can solve these challenging problems and provide a low-cost, difficult to forge, and easy to identify solution, while achieving the function of conventional 2D barcodes.

Adaptive Binarization of QR Code Images for FastAutomatic Sorting in Warehouse Systems.

As the fundamental element of the Internet of Things, the QR code has become increasingly crucial for connecting online and offline services. Concerning e-commerce and logistics, we mainly focus on how to identify QR codes quickly and accurately. An adaptive binarization approach is proposed to solve the problem of uneven illumination in warehouse automatic sorting systems.
