A unified spectra analysis workflow for the assessment of microbial contamination of ready to eat green salads: Comparative study and application of non-invasive sensors
The present study provides a comparative assessment of non-invasive sensors as means of estimating the microbial contamination and time-on-shelf (i.e. storage time) of leafy green vegetables, using a novel unified spectra analysis workflow. Two fresh ready-to-eat green salads were used in the context of this study for the purpose of evaluating the efficiency and practical application of the presented workflow: rocket and baby spinach salads. The employed analysis workflow consisted of robust data normalization, powerful feature selection based on random forests regression, and selection of the number of partial least squares regression coefficients in the training process by estimating the knee-point on the explained variance plot. Training processes were based on microbiological and spectral data derived during storage of green salad samples at isothermal conditions (4, 8 and 12C), whereas testing was performed on data during storage under dynamic temperature conditions (simulating real-life temperature fluctuations in the food supply chain). Since an increasing interest in the use of non-invasive sensors in food quality assessment has been made evident in recent years, the unified spectra analysis workflow described herein, by being based on the creation/usage of limited sized featured sets, could be very useful in food-specific low-cost sensor development.

Microbial and Viral Ecology Analysis for Metagenomic Data
The explosion in known microbial diversity in the last two decades has made it abundantly clear that microbes in the environment do not exist in isolation; they are members of communities. Accordingly, omics approaches s…
Intraoperative perfusion assessment by continuous, low-latency hyperspectral light-field imaging: development, methodology, and clinical application
Accurate assessment of tissue perfusion is crucial in visceral surgery, especially during anastomosis. Currently, subjective visual judgment is commonly employed in clinical settings. Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) offers a…
AeroSpectra Sentinel: An Auditable LLM Prompt-Chaining Decision-Support Workflow for Acute Asthma Risk Assessment from Respiratory Sounds and Clinical Signals
Acute asthma risk assessment requires rapid interpretation of respiratory sounds, oxygenation, airflow limitation, speech ability, work of breathing, mental status, and response to reliever therapy. Conventional audio-on…
PROSO Toolbox: a unified protein-constrained genome-scale modelling framework for strain designing and optimization
The genome-scale metabolic model with protein constraint (PC-model) has been increasingly popular for microbial metabolic simulations. We present PROSO Toolbox, a unified and simple-to-use PC-model toolbox that takes any…
