Temperature fluctuations are a key factor in the development of prediction models using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). In the present study, this influence has been investigated and a methodology has been proposed to reduce the effect of sample temperature on NIRS model prediction of the sodium content in dry-cured ham slices. Spectra were taken directly from the slices using a remote measurement probe (for non-contact analysis) at three different temperature ranges: -12 °C to -5°C, -5°C to 10 °C and 10 °C to 20 °C. Local and global temperature compensation methods were established. Partial-least squares (PLS) regression was used as a chemometrics tool to perform the calibrations. The results showed that local models were sensitive to changes in temperature, while a global temperature model using sample spectra over the entire temperature range showed good prediction ability, reducing the error caused by temperature fluctuations to acceptable levels for practical applications.

Background: Crohn's disease and irritable bowel syndrome may both cause abdominal pain and diarrhea. Irritable bowel syndrome not only is an important differential diagnosis for Crohn's disease but also occurs in one out of three patients with Crohn's disease in remission in parallel. If not adequately diagnosed and treated, additional functional symptoms such as fatigue and/or muscle pain may develop, indicating a more severe course.

In this work, selenium (IV) ions were adsorbed from aqueous solutions by the strongly basic anion exchange resin Amberlite IRA-400. The morphology of the resin before and after Se(IV) sorption was investigated using different techniques such as energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). To determine the ideal sorption conditions, a batch approach was used to examine the variables affecting Se(IV) sorption performance, including pH, shaking time, adsorbent dosage, initial metal ion concentration, and temperature.

Phytochemicals have been effectively used to enhance the growth and productivity of farm animals, while the potential roles of essential oils and their nano-emulsions are limited. This plan was proposed to investigate the impacts of orally administered moringa oil (MO) or its nano-emulsion (NMO) on the growth, physiological response, blood health, semen attributes, and sperm antioxidant-related genes in rams. A total of 15 growing Rahmani rams were enrolled in this study and allotted into three groups.

Background: Limited information is available regarding the changes in blood culture utilization following the COVID-19 pandemic. Blood culture utilization rate is a critical indicator of diagnostic efficiency for infectious diseases. This study aims to describe the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on blood culture utilization rate in Shanghai.

Background: Calmodulin-binding transcription activator (CAMTA) proteins play significant roles in signal transduction, growth and development, as well as abiotic stress responses, in plants. Understanding their involvement in the low-temperature stress response of teak is vital for revealing cold resistance mechanisms.
Results: Through bioinformatics analysis, the CAMTA gene family in teak was examined, and six CAMTA genes were identified in teak.
