Biotechnological aspects of the technology of preparation of grain-fruit wort from wheat grain and blackcurrant cake by E. M. Serba, E. N. Sokolova, L. V. Rimareva, V. V. Ionov, N. I. Ignatova, M. B. Overchenko

“…For the development of competitive alcoholic beverages with interesting sensory characteristics, it is promising to introduce fruit and berry raw materials into the grain wort, which allows distillates to be given an original taste and aroma. However, in the process of processing fruit and berry raw materials, difficulties arise due to its high acidity and high content of fiber and pectin substances, which require additional research to develop efficient technologies. …”

Method for removing haze from images, captured under a wide range of lighting conditions by A.I. Filin, A.V. Kopylov, I.A. Gracheva

“…However, its underlying assumptions are not met for nighttime, since localized light sources make a significant, if not the main, contribution to lighting. We propose here to use the degree of belonging of an image element to a localized light source, determined based on a one-class classifier, as a value that characterizes the confidence of the corresponding element of the estimated transmission map during its rectifi-cation based on the gamma-normal model, which makes it possible to increase the accuracy of dehazing when processing images, captured in low-light or nighttime conditions.…”
