Marinating is a crucial stage in meat processing. However, traditional marinating takes a long time and is prone to nutrient loss. Pulsed electric field (PEF) technology, an innovative non-thermal processing method, has been shown to improve the efficiency of meat marinating. Myofibrillar proteins (MPs) are essential components of meat and play a key role in determining meat quality. This study investigated the effects of PEF-assisted marination on pork MPs and aldehyde compounds at various PEF frequencies (110.6, 141.2, and 173.6 Hz). PEF pretreatment altered the structure of MPs, leading to an increase in surface hydrophobicity, carbonyl content, and free sulfhydryl groups. Conversely, solubility, total sulfhydryl content, and particle size decreased compared to the control group. These structural changes were linked an increase in NaCl content in the pork following PEF treatment. Additionally, PEF improved the emulsifying properties and digestibility of the pork. Regarding flavor, PEF treatment enhanced both the diversity and concentration of aldehyde compounds in the marinated pork. This study demonstrates that PEF not only improves the functional properties of MPs but also positively affects the flavor profile of marinated meat.

Background: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a prevalent condition that significantly impacts the quality of life of both patients and their partners. Current therapeutic approaches often struggle to address the diverse needs of all patients. In addition, the efficacy of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) in improving ED symptoms has been insufficiently investigated.

The pervasive model for a solvated, ion-filled nanopore is often a resistor in parallel with a capacitor. For conical nanopore geometries, here we propose the inclusion of a Warburg-like element, which is necessary to explain otherwise anomalous observations such as negative capacitance and low-pass filtering of translocation events (we term this phenomenon as Warburg filtering). The negative capacitance observed here has long equilibration times and memory (that is, mem-capacitance) at negative voltages.

Space division multiplexing (SDM) with Hermite Gaussian (HG) modes, for instance, can significantly boost the transmission link capacity. However, SDM is not suitable in existing single mode fiber networks, and in long-distance wireless, microwave, THz or optical links, the far-field beam distribution may present a problem. Recently it has been demonstrated, that time domain HG modes can be employed to enhance the link capacity.

The study presents an intelligent, model-free current control strategy that eliminates the need for explicit plant models while efficiently reducing the effect of plant parameter perturbation. By employing a data-driven approach with fewer input features, the proposed scheme reduces the computational burden during training while maintaining high control performance. Unlike conventional model predictive current control (MPCC), which is computationally expensive because of solving optimization problems at each sample time, and requires precise plant models, the proposed method enhances system performance by addressing plant model discrepancies through data-driven techniques.
