How to Prep Potatoes Ahead of Time Without Any Browning

Lifehacker.com 

I have never worked in a professional kitchen, but I have had relations with several people who have, and I’ve enjoyed a few brief glimpses into that world. These glimpses were rendered somewhat blurry by shift drinks, but the thing that blew my mind was how much prep work it took to run a restaurant. Beyond the…

The Women Who Tell Our Stories: Katharine Hepburn (1907-2003)

«La Crosse Tribune» (lacrossetribune.com) 

She was called “box office poison” by Hollywood producers, because she just plain refused to act the way Hollywood wanted actresses to behave. She continually, unrelentingly insisted on wearing pants.

Comparing the antibacterial efficacy and functionality of different commercial alcohol-based sanitizers

Plos.org 

by Kaiyang Lim, Wei Yi Li, Afrah Dinata, En Ting Ho

The use of alcohol-based sanitizers has been recommended as an effective alternative to clean hands, especially in the case when hand washing is not doable. This is especially critical with the COVID-19 pandemic, where personal hygiene is an important factor to deter the spread of the virus. This study assesses and evaluates the differences in antibacterial efficacy and functionalities of five different commercial alcohol-based sanitizers with different formulations. Читать дальше...

Deep learning neural network image analysis of immunohistochemical protein expression reveals a significantly reduced expression of biglycan in breast cancer

Plos.org 

by Ana Paula Thiesen, Bruna Mielczarski, Ricardo Francalacci Savaris

New breast cancer biomarkers have been sought for better tumor characterization and treatment. Among these putative markers, there is Biglycan (BGN). BGN is a class I small leucine-rich proteoglycan family of proteins characterized by a protein core with leucine-rich repeats. The objective of this study is to compare the protein expression of BGN in breast tissue with and without cancer, using immunohistochemical technique... Читать дальше...

by Robert Anderson, Sungwook Kim, Nia Roberts, Stavros Petrou

Objectives

This study carried out a systematic literature review of economic evaluations of varicella vaccination programmes from the earliest publication to the present day, including programmes in the workplace and in special risk groups as well as universal childhood vaccination and catch up programmes.

Methods

Articles published from 1985 until 2022 were sourced from PubMed/Medline, Embase, Web of Science, NHSEED and Econlit. Читать дальше...

Semantic-based memory-encoding strategy and cognitive stimulation in enhancing cognitive function and daily task performance for older adults with mild cognitive impairment: A pilot non-randomised cluster controlled trial

Plos.org 

by Hannah Mraz, Choy-Ying Tong, Karen P. Y. Liu

Aim

To investigate the effectiveness of a semantic-based memory-encoding strategy intervention and cognitive stimulation that enhances function for older adults with mild cognitive impairment.

Methods

A two-armed single-blind non-randomised cluster controlled trial was conducted. Participants in two centres were allocated to the semantic-based memory-encoding experimental group and those in the other two centres received cognitive stimulation. Читать дальше...

A tree based eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) machine learning model to forecast the annual rice production in Bangladesh

Plos.org 

by Mst Noorunnahar, Arman Hossain Chowdhury, Farhana Arefeen Mila

In this study, we attempt to anticipate annual rice production in Bangladesh (1961–2020) using both the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and the eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) methods and compare their respective performances. On the basis of the lowest Corrected Akaike Information Criteria (AICc) values, a significant ARIMA (0, 1, 1) model with drift was chosen based on the findings. The drift parameter...

The use of remote Femto Second technology in the preparation of black silicon material and optical devices

Plos.org 

by Ninghui Li, Yuan Chen

The research aims to study the application of remote Femto Second (FS) technology in black silicon material preparation and optical devices. Based on the principle and characteristic research of FS technology, the interaction between FS and silicon is adopted to propose a scheme for preparing black silicon material through experiments. Moreover, the experimental parameters are optimized. Then, the scheme of using the FS for etching polymer optical power splitter as a new technical means is proposed. Читать дальше...

Predicting fall risk using multiple mechanics-based metrics for a planar biped model

Plos.org 

by Daniel Williams, Anne E. Martin

For both humans and robots, falls are undesirable, motivating the development of fall prediction models. Many mechanics-based fall risk metrics have been proposed and validated to varying degrees, including the extrapolated center of mass, the foot rotation index, Lyapunov exponents, joint and spatiotemporal variability, and mean spatiotemporal parameters. To obtain a best-case estimate of how well these metrics can predict fall risk both individually and in combination... Читать дальше...
