Soft robotics for farm to fork: applications in agriculture & farming

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes, Kai Christian Junge

Agricultural tasks and environments range from harsh field conditions with semi-structured produce or animals, through to post-processing tasks in food-processing environments. From farm to fork, the development and application of soft robotics offers a pl ...

The Effects of Time-Restricted Eating versus Standard Dietary Advice on Weight, Metabolic Health and the Consumption of Processed Food: A Pragmatic Randomised Controlled Trial in Community-Based Adults

Felix Naef, Nicholas Edward Phillips

Weight loss is key to controlling the increasing prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) and its components, i.e., central obesity, hypertension, prediabetes and dyslipidaemia. The goals of our study were two-fold. First, we characterised the relationships b ...

Reversible and Broad-Range Oxygen Sensing Based on Purely Organic Long-Lived Photoemitters

Esther Amstad, Efe Armagan

The detection of oxygen (O-2) by optical sensors is of growing importance, for example, in biology, life science, environmental science, and aerodynamics, where the composition of gases is crucial for many applications. Purely organic optical O-2 sensors a ...

Microbiological contamination of cosmetic products - observations from Europe, 2005-2018

Florentino Luciano Caetano Dos Santos

Background Although cosmetic products are not expected to be fully aseptic, their potential microbiological contamination might be dangerous, especially for immunocompromised patients. The extent of such contamination of cosmetics in Europe is poorly studi ...

The use of solid-phase fluorescence spectroscopy in the characterisation of organic matter transformations

Remy Jean Henry Albrecht

Given its high sensitivity and non-destructive nature, fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (EEM) spectroscopy is widely used to differentiate changes and transformations of dissolved or water-extracted organic matter (OM) in natural environments. The s ...

Gut physiology mediates a trade-off between adaptation to malnutrition and susceptibility to food-borne pathogens

Bruno Lemaitre, Sveta Chakrabarti

The animal gut plays a central role in tackling two common ecological challenges, nutrient shortage and food-borne parasites, the former by efficient digestion and nutrient absorption, the latter by acting as an immune organ and a barrier. It remains unkno ...

Electrochemical Pseudo-Titration of Water-Soluble Antioxidants

Hubert Girault, Andreas Stephan Lesch, Fernando Cortes Salazar

An amperometric test for the antioxidant power (AOP) of biological and food samples is presented. The gist of the method is to measure by linear sweep voltammetry the anodic current produced during the oxidation of the labile species present in the sample ...

Telemetry system for sensing applications in lossy media

Anja Skrivervik, Francesco Merli, Eric Meurville, Léandre Bolomey

Wireless communications in lossy media encounter growing interest, with applications as telemedicine, ground sensing, remote pipeline sensing, and food quality testing among others. As an application, an autonomous implantable Body Sensor Node for monitori ...

Testate Amoebae and Nutrient Cycling with Particular Reference to Soils

We asked the following question: Is the lack of attention given to testate amoebae, and other protists, in studies of nutrient cycling justified by their relative unimportance or are we ignoring key players in nutrient cycling and other ecological processe ...

Interdigitated electrode DNA biosensor for detection of food-borne pathogens by impedance spectroscopy

Daniel Berdat

The commercial application of biosensors has had a significant impact in a number of areas, particularly in the field of medical diagnostics. But in spite of the great number of publications, only a few systems are commercially available in food analysis. ...

Ant-based Swarming with Positionless Micro Air Vehicles for Communication Relay

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Sabine Hauert

Swarming without positioning information is interesting in application- oriented systems because it alleviates the need for sensors which are dependent on the environment, expensive in terms of energy, cost, size and weight, or unusable at useful ranges fo ...
