Enhancement of Hydrophobicity of Fish Skin Gelatin via Molecular Modification with Oxidized Linoleic Acid by Wipawee Theerawitayaart, Thummanoon Prodpran, Soottawat Benjakul

“…As gelatin was modified with different OLA at various OLA/free amino group molar ratios, the one modified with OLA prepared at 60°C for 24 h at a molar ratio of 10 : 1 had the highest increases in surface hydrophobicity and carbonyl content with the coincidentally lowest free amino group content, compared with control gelatin (without OLA modification). Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR) spectra also reconfirmed the presence of fatty acid covalently attached to resulting gelatin. …”

3D Curvelet-Based Segmentation and Quantification of Drusen in Optical Coherence Tomography Images by M. Esmaeili, A. M. Dehnavi, H. Rabbani

“…The proposed algorithm consists of three parts: (1) preprocessing, which includes creating binary mask and removing possible highly reflective posterior hyaloid that is used in accurate detection of inner segment/outer segment (IS/OS) junction layer and Bruch’s membrane (BM) retinal layers; (2) coarse segmentation, in which 3D curvelet transform and graph theory are employed to get the possible candidate drusenoid regions; (3) fine segmentation, in which morphological operators are used to remove falsely extracted elongated structures and get the refined segmentation results. …”

Impact of Misting Systems on Local Particulate Matter (PM) Levels by William L. Knight, Matthew P. Fraser, Pierre Herckes

“…Chemical data reveal that chloride and magnesium ions may be used locally as tracers of particles from misting systems as chloride may be subject to atmospheric transformation. The average chloride concentration was 71 µg m−3 in samples collected while the misting system was operational and below the detection limit (< 8.2 µg m−3) in samples collected when the misting system was off. …”

Assessment Model for Interregional Electricity Price Difference and Cross-Regional Electricity Trading Volume Considering Carbon Cost by LI Wei, LI Ran, HU Yan, WANG Xiwei, XIONG Kang

“…Cross-regional electricity trading can facilitate the remote consumption of surplus renewable resources and contribute to the low-carbon transformation of the power system. Due to the inherent differences in power generation structures across interconnected regions, the impact of carbon costs on the clearing electricity prices within regions varies, leading to dynamic price differences between regions, which, in turn, affects the outcomes of cross-regional electricity trading, and further exacerbates the differences in power generation structures, thereby impacting interval electricity price differences. …”
