Fishmeal is widely used in the feed industry as the main protein material. The freshness grade directly affects the quality of the fishmeal. During the storage of fishmeal, the odor would change accordingly as the freshness grades decreased.

Understanding the crushing mechanism necessitates studying the airflow distribution. Using a self-built crushing test platform and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, we investigated the impact of screen aperture size, rotor speed, hammer-screen clearance, hammer quantity, and mass flow rate on airflow distribution within the rotor region, circulation layer, and screen apertures.

The classification performance of the freshness grades and the estimation performance of the TVB-N and AV values of fish meal with different freshness were compared. According to the sensor response curve, preprocessing and feature extraction steps were first applied to the original data.

Here, to realize fast and accurate identification of TVB-N, in this article, a self-developed electronic nose (e-nose) was used, and the mapping relationship between the gas sensor response characteristic information and TVB-N value was established to complete the freshness detection.
Results: The TVB-N variation curve was decomposed into seven subsequences with different frequency scales by means of variational mode decomposition (VMD).
Headspace solid-phase microextraction, combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and partial least squares discriminant analysis, was adopted to study the rule of change in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for domestic and imported fishmeal during storage with different freshness grades. The results showed that 318 kinds of VOCs were detected in domestic fishmeal, while 194 VOCs were detected in imported fishmeal. The total relative content of VOCs increased with storage time, among which acids and nitrogen-containing compounds increased significantly, esters and ketones increased slightly, and phenolic and ether compounds were detected only in domestic fishmeal.

In this paper, a multi-objective household intelligent power consumption optimization model is proposed from two aspects of economy and comfort. Firstly, the operating constraints of interruptible loads and non-interruptible loads were established based on the working characteristics of various household appliances.

Rice architecture is a key aspect of its domestication and a major factor that limits its high productivity. The ideal rice culm structure, including major_axis_culm, minor axis_culm, and wall thickness_culm, is critical for improving lodging resistance.

SPME-GC-MS (solid phase microextraction gas chromatography mass spectrometry) analysis of fish meal was presented. Due to the large amount of data of the original features detected by the electronic nose, a reasonable selection of the original features was necessary before processing, so as to reduce the dimension.

Thus, automated, non-destructive methods of phenotyping rice tiller traits at a high spatial resolution and high throughput for large-scale assessment of rice accessions are urgently needed. In this study, we developed a high-throughput micro-CT-RGB imaging system to non-destructively extract 739 traits from 234 rice accessions at nine time points.
