The HunterLab MiniScan (HunterLab) colorimeter is used in meat quality research worldwide for measuring meat color; however, the Nix Pro Color Sensor (Nix) could be a less expensive alternative that is easier to operate. Therefore, the objective of this study was to compare the two colorimeters to objectively evaluate fresh beef color. muscle from one side of A maturity beef carcasses ( = 200) was evaluated using both the HunterLab (3 technical replicate scans) and Nix (3, 5, 7, and 9 technical replicate scans) colorimeters. The correlation between the HunterLab and Nix for (lightness), (redness), and (yellowness) values ranged between r = 0.80 to 0.85 and the Bland Altman Limits of Agreement analysis indicated good agreement between the Nix and HunterLab colorimeters for all the color parameters. These results indicated that the Nix colorimeter could be a viable alternative for HunterLab colorimeters.

Comparative Analysis of Low-Cost Portable Spectrophotometers for Colorimetric Accuracy on the RAL Design System Plus Color Calibration Target.

Novel low-cost portable spectrophotometers could be an alternative to traditional spectrophotometers and calibrated RGB cameras by offering lower prices and convenient measurements but retaining high colorimetric accuracy. This study evaluated the colorimetric accuracy of low-cost, portable spectrophotometers on the established color calibration target-RAL Design System Plus (RAL+). Four spectrophotometers with a listed price between USD 100-1200 (Nix Spectro 2, Spectro 1 Pro, ColorReader, and Pico) and a smartphone RGB camera were tested on a representative subset of 183 RAL+ colors.

Aim: The present study aimed to investigate the effects of a single bout of resistance exercise on mitophagy in human skeletal muscle (SkM).
Methods: Eight healthy men were recruited to complete an acute bout of one-leg resistance exercise. SkM biopsies were obtained one hour after exercise in the resting leg (Rest-leg) and the contracting leg (Ex-leg).
Machine Vision Requires Fewer Repeat Measurements than Colorimeters for Precise Seafood Colour Measurement.

The colour of seafood flesh is often not homogenous, hence measurement of colour requires repeat measurements to obtain a representative average. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal number of repeat colour measurements required for three different devices [machine vision (digital image using camera, and computer processing); Nix Pro; Minolta CR400 colorimeter] when measuring three species of seafood (Atlantic salmon, , = 8; rockling, , = 8; banana prawns, , = 105) for raw and cooked samples. Two methods of analysis for number of repeat measurements required were compared.

The recently proposed method for on-site radiation dosimetry by a combination of radiochromic film and portable colorimeter was tested for six combinations of two popular Gafchromic films (EBT3 and EBT-XD) and three commercially available portable colorimeters (nix pro2, nix spectro2 and Spectro1 Pro; abbreviated to "NixP", "NixS" and "SpoP", respectively). EBT3 and EBT-XD were irradiated with X-rays (160 kV, 6.3 mA) up to 40 Gy and 80 Gy, respectively, and the radiation-induced color levels of RGB and CMYK components were measured with the three colorimeters.

Purpose: Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is increasingly used as a definitive treatment option for patients with prostate adenocarcinoma. The aim of this study was to assess the late toxicity, patient-reported quality of life outcomes, and biochemical recurrence rates after prostate SBRT with simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) targeting lesions defined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Methods And Materials: Patients were eligible if they had biopsy-proven low- or intermediate-risk prostate adenocarcinoma, one or more focal lesions on MRI, and an MRI-defined total prostate volume of <120 mL.
