AI Article Synopsis

  • Near infrared spectroscopy (NIR) is utilized to analyze the quality of non-carbonated beers by using partial least squares (PLS) regression and stepwise multiple linear regression (SMLR) techniques.
  • Key quality indicators measured include original extract, real extract, and alcohol content, using absorbance spectra from 83 beer samples.
  • Findings suggest that SMLR outperforms PLS in calibration and prediction, and the results support future development of NIR for on-line beer analysis.

Article Abstract

Near infrared spectroscopy (NIR) has been used to determine important indicators of the quality of undeaired beers by a partial least squares (PLS) regression and stepwise multiple linear regression (SMLR). The indicators are original, real extract and alcohol contents. Absorbance spectra in transmission mode of 83 samples were obtained with 1 mm and 5 mm path-length quartz cell. The selected resolving powers are 8, 16 and 32 cm(-1). Air and water were used as background respectively. It was concluded that the calibration and prediction results are similar with different background, pathlength and resolving power. The SMLR method seems to be better than PLS method. The results of this paper provide a foundation for the application and further development of NIR on-line beer analyzer.

This prospective cohort study is aimed to investigate circadian variations in corneal parameters, focusing on sleep-deprived subjects. Sixty-four healthy individuals (age range: 21-76 years) actively participated in this study, undergoing examinations at least five times within a 24-hour timeframe. The analysis encompassed keratometric parameters of the cornea's front (F) and back (B) surfaces, refractive power in flattest and steepest axes (K1, K2), astigmatism (Astig) and its axis (Axis), aspheric coefficient (Asph), corneal pachymetry values of thinnest corneal thickness (Pachy Min) and corneal thickness in the center of the pupil (Pachy Pupil), volume relative to the 3 and 10 mm corneal diagonal (Vol D3, Vol D10) and surface variance index (ISV).

Background: Patients with rectal cancer often experience adverse effects on urinary, sexual, and digestive functions. Despite recognised impacts and available treatments, they are not fully integrated into follow-up protocols, thereby hindering appropriate interventions. The aim of the study was to discern the activities conducted in our routine clinical practice outside of clinical trials.

Assessing myocardial viability is crucial for managing ischemic heart disease. While late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is the gold standard for viability evaluation, it has limitations, including contraindications in patients with renal dysfunction and lengthy scan times. This study investigates the potential of non-contrast CMR techniques-feature tracking strain analysis and T1/T2 mapping-combined with machine learning (ML) models, as an alternative to LGE-CMR for myocardial viability assessment.

Background: Hand injuries are a leading cause of emergency department visits. Recent trends in hand trauma management reflect a shift toward outpatient care, driven by factors such as a shortage of skilled personnel or increasing cost pressures. This study analyzed these trends to propose updated management strategies for hand injuries.
