Background: The manufacturing of frozen shrimp is an important industry for the economy of Thailand. The objective of this study was to use Near-Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to determine the freshness quality, including Total Volatile Basic Nitrogen (TVB-N) and Water Holding Capacity (WHC) of white shrimp (whole and chopped shrimp) and phosphate residues of shrimp. Methods: Sixty white shrimp ...

A new third-order Energy Stable Weighted Essentially NonOscillatory (ESWENO) finite difference scheme for scalar and vector linear hyperbolic equations with piecewise continuous initial conditions is developed. The new scheme is proven to be stable in the energy norm for both continuous and discontinuous solutions. In contrast to the existing highresolution shock-capturing schemes, no assumptio...

Palmitate, the enzymatic product of fatty acid synthase (FASN), provides a substrate for the synthesis of longand short-chain fatty acids. Many recent studies have expanded our knowledge about the roles palmitate and lipid synthesis play in tumor cell biology beyond supporting energy metabolism and membrane building [1,2]. The recent article by Ventura and colleagues [3] described cell biology ...

Now more than ever, it is becoming critical for businesses in the tourism industry to have a strong online presence. To achieve this goal, the proper usage of latest Web technologies, particularly schema.org annotations is crucial. In this paper, we present our e ort to improve the online visibility of Tourismusverband (TVB) Mayrhofen-Hippach and all touristic service providers in the Mayrhofen...

We consider a family of high-order, weighted essentially non-oscillatory central schemes (CWENO) for approximating solutions of one-dimensional hyperbolic systems of conservation laws. We are interested in the behavior of the total variation (TV) of the approximate solution obtained with these methods. Our numerical results suggest that even though CWENO methods are not total variation diminish...

Quality and shelf-life of whole and filleted Coryphaena hippurus, stored with modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) and natural antioxidants from halophytes (HAL), were investigated. Fillets were divided into control, simply sealed in trays; MAP, preserved by modified atmosphere (45% CO2, 50% N2, 5% O2); and MAP-HAL, pretreated with antioxidants and preserved by MAP. Whole and filleted fish were ...

We present a novel method for approximate inference. Using some of the constructs from expectation propagation (EP), we derive a lower bound of the marginal likelihood in a similar fashion to variational Bayes (VB). The method combines some of the benefits of VB and EP: it can be used with light-tailed likelihoods (where traditional VB fails), and it provides a lower bound on the marginal likel...

The active emulsified blend films based on gelatin-pectin (5% w/w) containing virgin olive oil (VOO) (0.1–0.3 g/g biopolymer) and grape seed (GSO) were prepared by casting method. GSO showed slightly more decreasing effect than VOO ultimate tensile strength (UTS) strain at break (SAB) of however; had reducing the water vapor permeability (WVP). scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images that inc...
