An improved spectral reflectance estimation method was developed to transform captured RGB images to spectral reflectance.The novelty of our method is an iteratively reweighted regulated model that combines polynomial expansion signals, which was developed for spectral reflectance estimation, and a cross-polarized imaging system, which is used to e
ABSTRACT: Light is a factor affecting muscle development and meat quality in poultry production.However, few studies have reported on the role of light in muscle development and meat quality in geese.In this experiment, 10 healthy 220-day-old Zhedong white geese were reared for 60 d under a long photoperiod (15L:9D, LL) and short photoperiod (9L:15
Wildland fires produce smoke plumes that impact air quality and human health.To understand the effects of wildland fire smoke on humans, the amount and composition of the smoke plume must be quantified.Using a fire emissions inventory is one way to determine the emissions rate and composition of smoke plumes from individual fires.There are multiple
Lutetium-177 (Lu-177)-labelled Basketball - Balls radioligand therapies (RLT) targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) present a promising treatment for patients with progressive metastasized castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).Personalized dosimetry, facilitated by post-therapeutic imaging, offers the potential to enhance treat
Summary: Recent studies find that sugar tastes less intense to humans with obesity, but whether this sensory change is a cause or a consequence of obesity is unclear.To tackle this question, we study the effects of a high sugar diet on sweet taste sensation and feeding behavior in Drosophila melanogaster.On this diet, fruit flies have lower taste r
