Protected Geographical Indication Identification of a Chinese Green Tea (Anji-White) by Near-Infrared Spectroscopy and Chemometric Class Modeling Techniques by Lu Xu, Peng-Tao Shi, Xian-Shu Fu, Hai-Feng Cui, Zi-Hong Ye, Chen-Bo Cai, Xiao-Ping Yu

“…This paper reports a rapid identification method for a Chinese green tea with PGI, Anji-white tea, by class modeling techniques and NIR spectroscopy. 167 real and representative Anji-white tea samples were collected from 8 tea plantations in their original producing areas for model training. Another 81 non-Anji-white tea samples of similar appearance were collected from 7 important tea producing areas and used for validation of model specificity. …”

Performance of the Priority Control Strategies for Bus Rapid Transit: Comparative Study from Scenario Microsimulation Using VISSIM by Min Yang, Wei Wang, Bo Wang, Jing Han

“…Signal priority using advanced detection is a strategy which detects one cycle ahead of buses’ arrival in order to adapt a more flexible control algorithm to provide signal priority for buses. Another is transit speed control, which provides priority at intersections for buses by controlling the speed of them and predicting their arrival at certain intersection. …”

The Effect of Digitalization Process on Public Relations Education: A Research on Academics by Murat Koçyiğit, Büşra Küçükcivil

“…In this regard, there was one particular opinion thatwas emphasized in the field work: flipped and blended education models were considered as the mostsuccessful and efficient digital education models during public relations education’s digitalizationprocess. According to another finding of the study, flexibility and adaptability, social and cross-culturalskills, communication and collaboration, information literacy, ICT literacy, and global awareness areamong the most important skills and themes that both academics and students should have in publicrelations education’s digitalization process. …”

Dark QCD perspective inspired by strong CP problem at QCD scale by Bin Wang, Shinya Matsuzaki, Hiroyuki Ishida

“…The composite axion is phenomenologically required to mimic the QCD pion, but can generically be flavorful, which could be testable via the induced flavor changing processes at experiments. Another axionlike particle (ALP) is predicted to achieve the axion relaxation mechanism, which can phenomenologically act as the conventional QCD axion. …”

Fourier Transform Infrared Radiation Spectroscopy Applied for Wood Rot Decay and Mould Fungi Growth Detection by Bjørn Petter Jelle, Per Jostein Hovde

“…An experimental challenge and aim is to be able to detect the wood rot decay and mould fungi growth at early stages when it is barely visible to the naked eye. Another goal is to be able to distinguish between various species of fungi and wood rot.…”

Quasi-Normal Modes: The “Electrons” of Black Holes as “Gravitational Atoms”? Implications for the Black Hole Information Puzzle by Christian Corda

“…In a certain sense, QNMs represent the “electron” which jumps from a level to another one and the absolute values of the QNMs frequencies, “triggered” by emissions (Hawking radiation) and absorption of particles, represent the energy “shells” of the “gravitational hydrogen atom.” …”

The Effect of Surface Functionalization of Magnesium Alloy on Degradability, Bioactivity, Cytotoxicity, and Antibiofilm Activity by Morena Nocchetti, Michela Piccinini, Donatella Pietrella, Cinzia Antognelli, Maurizio Ricci, Alessandro Di Michele, Layla Jalaoui, Valeria Ambrogi

“…Moreover, the risk of microbial infections, often following the implant surgery and hard to eradicate, is another challenge. Thus, with the aim of reducing biodegradability and conferring antibiofilm activity, sheets of the magnesium alloy AZ31 were properly modified with the introduction of hydroxy (polyethyleneoxy)propyl silane (PEG) and quaternary ammonium silane chains (QAS). …”
