Fermentation modeling and machine learning for flavor prediction in low-sodium radish paocai with potassium chloride substitution
Fermentation modeling
The initial LAB counts in radish paocai were about 7.40 log CFU/g (Fig. 1a). The LAB counts quickly increased to 8.31–8.47 log CFU/g on the first day of fermentation. On the fifth day of fermentation, the LAB counts…

Effects of uncoordinated electrification on energy burdens for natural gas customers
Our modeling framework for assessing the equity impacts of natural gas transitions and uncoordinated electrification consists of three steps: (1) investigate spatial patterns in pipeline replacement programs, (2) model the effects of…

This sugar substitute does more than sweeten — it kills cancer cells
Stevia may provide more benefits than as a zero-calorie sugar substitute. When fermented with bacteria isolated from banana leaves, stevia extract kills off pancreatic cancer cells but doesn’t harm healthy kidney cells, according to a research…

Opportunity or nonsense? Examining the role of CEOs’ social media usage in raising funds
Theoretical background
Numerous management scholars have examined how the characteristics of top executives influence firm performance. To consolidate previously fragmented research, Hambrick and Mason (1984) introduced a general “upper-level…
