Effects of ultrasound-assisted low-salt curing on water retention, tenderness and in vitro digestive characteristics of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon Idellus) by Jun Liu, Changxin Xie, Wenhan Ma, Xue Xiao, Weiwei Dong, Youwei Chen, Yuanliang Hu, Yanli Feng, Xiang Yu

“…Furthermore, ultrasound-assisted curing led to the unfolding of the spatial structure of myofibrillar proteins, enhanced intermolecular hydrophobic interactions, and promoted protein oxidation (p < 0.05), which are fundamental reasons for the improvement in fish quality. Thus, ultrasound treatment had a positive effect on fish curing, with the optimal parameters identified as 590 W for 78 min. …”

A Critique on the Book The Idea of Literature. From ‘Art for Art’s Sake’ to Writings That Intervene by Hassan Zokhtareh

“…In Gefen's view, the reason for all these disagreements is the restrictive and aesthetic perception of the concept of literature which has dominated literary critique and theories in academic places from the nineteenth centuriy. …”

A Bayesian Compressive Sensing Vehicular Location Method Based on Three-Dimensional Radio Frequency by Yunpeng Wang, Xuting Duan, Daxin Tian, Jianshan Zhou, Yingrong Lu, Guangquan Lu

“…However, in the dense urban, due to multipath effect and signal occlusion, GPS-based positioning method potentially fails to provide accurate position information. For this reason, an assistant approach has been presented in this paper by using three-dimensional radio frequency, such as time of arrival (TOA) and direction of arrival (DOA). …”

Induction of xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes in hepatocytes by beta-naphthoflavone: Time-dependent changes in activities, protein and mRNA levels by Lněničková Kateřina, Skálová Lenka, Stuchlíková Lucie, Szotáková Barbora, Matoušková Petra

“…Our results demonstrate that the responses of different xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes to the inducer vary in time and depend on the measured parameter. For these reasons, an induction study featuring only one-time interval treatment and/ or one parameter testing could produce misleading information.…”

Support Vector Regression Based on Grid-Search Method for Short-Term Wind Power Forecasting by Hong Zhang, Lixing Chen, Yong Qu, Guo Zhao, Zhenwei Guo

“…The two main contributions of this paper are as follows. (1) In data preprocessing, each encountered problem of employed real data such as irrelevant, outliers, missing value, and noisy data has been taken into account, the corresponding reasonable processing has been given, and the input variable selection and order estimation are investigated by Partial least squares technique. (2) STWPF is investigated by multiscale support vector regression (SVR) technique, and the parameters associated with SVR are optimized based on Grid-search method. …”
