This paper describes a low-cost fluorometer to detect and distinguish among different types of crude and refined oil. The device is based on the measurement of induced fluorescence using 280 and 390 nm LEDs as excitation sources and the design includes a low-cost lock-in amplifier to increase sensitivity. The sensor is able to send data remotely and is fully configurable via telecommands. The apparatus can be a useful tool to detect, identify, and monitor oil spills when placed in buoys or added to marine or aerial vehicles.

Digital polymerase chain reaction (dPCR) is a state-of-the-art targeted quantification method of nucleic acids. The technology is based on massive partitioning of a reaction mixture into individual PCR reactions. The resulting partition-level end-point fluorescence intensities are used to classify partitions as positive or negative, i.

Zero-shot learning (ZSL) focuses on recognizing unseen categories by aligning visual features with semantic information. Recent advancements have shown that aligning each attribute with its corresponding visual region significantly improves zero-shot learning performance. However, the crude semantic proxies used in these methods fail to capture the varied appearances of each attribute, and are also easily confused by the presence of semantically redundant backgrounds, leading to suboptimal alignment.

Lignin is the only naturally occurring, renewable biopolymer and an alternative for the production of six-membered aromatic chemicals. The utilization of lignin can increase the additional revenue of biorefineries and reduce the dependence on crude oil for the production of aromatic chemicals. Therefore, the development of technologies for the production of valuable chemicals from lignin waste in biorefineries is of great importance.

Glycidyl ester (GE) and 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol ester (3-MCPDE) are food contaminants formed during edible oil refining. Due to their potential human carcinogenicity, the European Commission has established regulatory limits for vegetable oil, including palm oil. While laboratory-scale studies have shown promising reductions, large-scale implementation remains challenging.
