Recent research in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows that artificial sugars in the form of fructose or sucrose can affect the body in the long term. Professor Eduardo Groisman, the study’s principal author, believes that fructose and sucrose, two sugars commonly found in foods, are harmful to people. Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, which is prevalent in lean and healthy individuals, feeds on fibre and other complex carbohydrates used
Ruhi Sarikaya (Alexa AI director for applied science) outlined the advancements in machine learning technologies that have enabled Alexa to better understand people through contextual clues in a blog post released this week on the developer blog. According to Sarikaya, these enhancements have played a significant role in making Alexa more conversational and reduced user friction overall. The self-learning technologies that Amazon has been using to train Alexa to automatically
Programmable robots are autonomous machines that carry out predefined activities on their own. There are a variety of options available, ranging from customised Arduino Wi-Fi robots to programmable military robots. Robots with Arduino microcontrollers or National Instruments cRIO controllers as brains. The term “robot” refers to a class of automatic machines that are controlled by remote controls or pre-programmed programmes to execute specific duties. Automated robots with thinking capabilities and
When it comes to meal delivery, DoorDash, a San Francisco-based firm, looks to have reached a major milestone recently and emerged as a dark horse in this specific industry. Wall Street Journal reports that the business is seeking about $500 million at a valuation between $6 billion and $7 billion, while other competitors like Uber and Postmates have recently decided to go public.

Market efficiency and security are often at odds, as demonstrated by the shipping container. Modern shipping containers were popular because they saved costly and time-consuming repetition when cargo had to be loaded and unloaded while transferring from one method of transportation to another, such as from a truck to an ocean ship. For nearly 50 years, container shipping has been in use; shortly after that, the International Organization for Standardization
Lactococcus and Streptococcus bacteria create nisin, a bacteriocin that has antibacterial properties. There are numerous unique amino acids in the translation of Nisin due to post-translational changes, which are classed as Type A (I) Lantibiotics. Nisin has been widely utilised as a food preservative for the past few decades. There have since been a number of natural and genetically modified nisins discovered and researched for their specific antibacterial characteristics. Nisin
