This study examines materials challenges in Canadian libraries, compiled by the Canadian Federation of Library Associations (CFLA), with the intention of identifying demographic trends in patron challenge behaviour.By cross-referencing the CFLA data with five demographic fields from the 2016 Canadian census of population (median age, city size, edu
Study on the Determination of Flavor Value of Rice Based on Grid Iterative Search Swarm Optimization Support Vector Machine Model and Hyperspectral Imaging
In the field of rice processing and cultivation, it is crucial to adopt efficient, rapid and user-friendly techniques to detect the flavor values of various rice varieties.The conventional methods for flavor value assessment mainly rely on chemical analysis and technical evaluation, which not only deplete the rice resources but also incur significa
Design, rheology and microstructure of food-grade emulsion-based systems for delivery of vitamin D
The fortification of food with vitamin D has several limitations because this group of fat-soluble compounds may degrade or undergo undesirable changes during technologic processing and storage of food.The purpose of this study was to investigate emulsions for vitamin D3 delivery in commercial foods.Oil-in-water (o/w) emulsions stabilized by mixtur
Mourning our Dead
Two global events took place in the transition from 2019 to 2020: the pandemic of COVID-19 and a profusion of texts about it.This article is part Top Loader of the current effort to understand the pandemic, but it enquires likewise how one may address its unique event among us.In Brazil, more than in any other country, the pandemic was subordinated
Approaches to study of multistability in spatio-temporal dynamics of two-age population
Purpose of the work is to study spatio-temporal dynamics of limited two-age structured populations that populate a 2D habitat and capable of long-range displacement of individuals.We proposed the model that is the network of nonlocally coupled nonlinear maps with nonlinear coupling function.Conditions for the emergence of Drivetrain different types
