The high perishability of fresh meat results in short sales and consumption periods, which can lead to high amounts of food waste, especially when a fixed best-before date is stated. Thus, the aim of this study was the development of a real-time dynamic shelf-life criterion (DSLC) for fresh pork filets based on a multi-model approach combining predictive microbiology and sensory modeling. Therefore, 647 samples of ma-packed pork loin were investigated in isothermal and non-isothermal storage trials. For the identification of the most suitable spoilage predictors, typical meat quality parameters (pH-value, color, texture, and sensory characteristics) as well as microbial contamination (total viable count, spp., lactic acid bacteria, , Enterobacteriaceae) were analyzed at specific investigation points. Dynamic modeling was conducted using a combination of the modified Gompertz model (microbial data) or a linear approach (sensory data) and the Arrhenius model. Based on these models, a four-point scale grading system for the DSLC was developed to predict the product status and shelf-life as a function of temperature data in the supply chain. The applicability of the DSLC was validated in a pilot study under real chain conditions and showed an accurate real-time prediction of the product status.

Low-grade inflammation and pathological endochondral ossification are key processes underlying the progression of osteoarthritis, the most prevalent joint disease worldwide. In this study, we employed a multi-faceted approach, integrating publicly available datasets, analyses, experiments and models to identify new therapeutic candidates targeting these processes. Data mining of transcriptomic datasets identified EPHA2, a receptor tyrosine kinase associated with cancer, as being linked to both inflammation and endochondral ossification in osteoarthritis.

Promoters, as core elements in the regulation of gene expression, play a pivotal role in genetic engineering and synthetic biology. The accurate prediction and optimization of promoter strength are essential for advancing these fields. Here, we present the first promoter strength database tailored to , an extremophilic microorganism, and propose a novel promoter design and prediction method based on generative adversarial networks (GANs) and multi-model fusion.

The efficacy of generalized sugarcane yield prediction models holds significant implications for global food security. Given that machine learning algorithms often surpass the precision of remote sensing technology, further exploration of machine learning algorithms in the development of sugarcane yield prediction models is imperative. In this study, we employed six key phenotypic traits of sugarcane, specifically plant height, stem diameter, third-node length (internode length), leaf length, leaf width, and field brix, along with eight machine learning methods: logistic regression, linear regression, K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Backpropagation Neural Network (BPNN), Decision Tree, Random Forest, and the XGBoost algorithm.

The Multiple Model Control (MMC) structure comprises three main components: the model bank, controller bank, and supervisor algorithm. Precise design of these components is crucial for achieving high control performance within the MMC framework, albeit this effort is not without its challenges. These challenges involve optimizing the model and controller banks ensuring system stability when dealing with uncertainties in the local models and enabling smooth switching between model-controller pairs.
