In this paper, we present, for the first time, the absorption and reduced scattering spectra of commercially available milk and yoghurt products, obtained using photon-time-of-flight spectroscopy. The ability of this technique to separate the contributions from absorption and scattering in the sample provides important information on the chemical composition and micro-structural properties, which are not available with the traditional techniques used in dairy production. The instrument operates in the spectral range from 500 nm to 1030 nm. The reduced scattering coefficient varies from 5 cm(-1) for milk with 0.1% fat in the near infrared range, to 60 cm(-1) for yoghurt with 3.0% fat in the green wavelength regime. The absorption is within the range of 0.05-0.5cm(-1), with only small variation in the absolute value between products. Our results show that the reduced scattering clearly distinguishes milk and yoghurt with the same fat content and can offer a reliable way of monitoring structural formation during milk fermentation.

Summary: Non-linear materials like upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) have fast-growing applications in various fields, but characterizing their emission quantum yield (QY) is challenging due to its dependence on power density. This study proposes a multimodal system to measure QY over a wide range, compensating for various distorting parameters.

Summary: Ultrafast lasers in orthopedic procedures offer higher precision and minimal thermal damages compared to conventional laser systems, but limitations in material removal rate and pulse average power hinder their surgical applications. Advances in laser texturing for implants show potential for bioactivation and osteointegration, prompting further exploration of the benefits ultrafast lasers could offer in orthopedic surgery.

Revealing the complex spatiotemporal nature of crystal growth in a steel pipe: Initiation, expansion, and densification

Summary: Crystallisation fouling is a challenge in various applications and understanding the basic mechanisms is crucial in mitigating fouling. In this study, we conducted in situ investigation of dynamic effects using X-ray micro-computed tomography (mu CT) to analyze the fouling process in a steel pipe. Advanced segmentation techniques were employed to quantify the evolving fouling based on 4D images. Computational fluid dynamic simulations were performed using experimental geometries to understand the impact of pipe interface structure on reactive transport. The study identified three growth phases: initiation, expansion, and densification.

Noninvasive material anisotropy estimation using oblique incidence reflectometry and machine learning

Lezhong Wang, Siavash Arjomand Bigdeli, Anders Nymark Christensen, Milena Corredig, Riccardo Tonello, Anders Bjorholm Dahl, Jeppe Revall Frisvad

Summary: This study aims to assess the material anisotropy noninvasively with as few measurements as possible. We evaluate different methods for detecting anisotropy using sample rotations, perpendicular planes of incidence, and single observation. Anisotropy is estimated by fitting ellipses to diffuse reflectance isocontours, and the robustness of this method is assessed as the number of observations is reduced. Additionally, a machine learning model is proposed to support the validity of the ellipse fitting method for estimating material anisotropy.

Summary: The clinical significance of tumor-immune interaction in breast cancer has been established. Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) have emerged as predictive and prognostic biomarkers for patients with triple-negative and HER2-positive breast cancer. The use of machine learning (ML) to automatically evaluate TILs has shown promising results. However, there are challenges in implementing this in trial and routine clinical management, including technical slide issues, ML and image analysis aspects, data challenges, and validation issues.
