Aquaculture Advancements Through Bioactive Molecules
Abstract: A wide range of seafood species – including fish, shellfish, squid, and bivalves – generate by-products that are often discarded as waste. However, these by-products hold great potential for developing innovative functional food products. Because there is limited opportunity to recycle natural resources, the loss of profit may be accompanied by the loss of ecological sustainability, given that the “wastes” of industrial processing can account for up to 75% of …

Bayesian Optimization–Driven Operating Parameter Tuning for Maximizing Methane Yield in Anaerobic Digestion
Abstract: To achieve maximum methane production in an anaerobic digestion (AD) process, a combination of various operational parameters must be tuned nonlinearly in the digestion ecosystem. The conventional trial and error optimization methods are slow, resource consuming, and in most instances, cannot model the intricate parameter interaction in biogas production. The current work introduces a Bayesian Optimization-based model to optimize the set of conditions to maximize the level of methane produced …

Gold Nanoparticle Size, Biodistribution, and Toxicity: Insights from DualEnergy CT
Abstract: Dual-energy and spectral computed tomography (CT) have emerged as powerful platforms for noninvasive, quantitative mapping of nanoparticle biodistribution in vivo. By exploiting the energy-dependent attenuation profiles of high-atomic-number (high-Z) materials, these systems enable material decomposition and element-specific imaging, thereby distinguishing nanoparticle signals from those of soft tissues and conventional iodinated contrast agents. Photon-counting spectral CT further enhances this capability by binning individual photons into multiple energy channels, improving spatial resolution, …
