Sake lees (Sake-kasu) are the sediments of Japanese sake brewing process from fermented rice with Aspergillus oryzae and yeasts.Sake lees contain various enzymes and metabolites Shaving Foam derived from the Sake starter culture, and expected to add aroma, flavor and softness to sausages.We investigated the effects of Sake lees supplementation on f
Acute pyelonephritis (APN) should be detected and treated as soon as possible to reduce the risk of the development of acquired renal scarring.However, in the medical field, urine culture results are not available or considered when the prompt discrimination of APN is necessary and empirical treatment is started.Furthermore, urine culture cannot di
In utilizing a variable-structure multiple-model (VSMM) algorithm for kinematic state estimation, the core step is the model set design.This study aims to refine the existing expected-mode augmentation (EMA) algorithm, a method of model set design.First, the OTSU algorithm is employed to determine an adaptive threshold, which in turn allows for a r
Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) is increasingly used in many scientific disciplines, including biological and medical research, materials science and chemistry.The fluorescence label is not only used to indicate its location, but also to probe its immediate environment, via its fluorescence lifetime.This allows FLIM to monitor and image the ce
