Metagenomic and phylogenetic analyses reveal gene-level selection constrained by bacterial phylogeny, surrounding oxalate metabolism in the gut microbiota by Sromona D. Mukherjee, Mangesh Suryavanshi, John Knight, Dirk Lange, Aaron W. Miller

“…The frc gene was primarily allocated to the Pseudomonodota phylum, particularly the Bradyrhizobium genus, which is a species capable of utilizing oxalate as a sole carbon and energy source. Collectively evidence provides strong support that, for oxalate metabolism, evolutionary selection occurs at the gene level, through horizontal gene transfer, rather than at the species level.IMPORTANCEA critical function of the gut microbiota is to neutralize dietary toxins, such as oxalate, which is highly prevalent in plant-based foods and is not degraded by host enzymes. …”

SurfaceVision: An Automated Module for Surface Fault Detection in 3D Printed Products by Laukesh Kumar, Manoj Kumar Satyarthi

“…The traditional method currently requires visual information processing devices or continuous monitoring of the process via a camera, which is very resource consuming and costly. Machine learning techniques being used for automatic detection of the faults suffer in real time conditions with inefficient fault detection due to the inability of adaptation to real time changes in the printing process. …”
