Combining natural language processing and multidimensional classifiers to predict and correct CMMS metadata

Computerized maintenance management systems (CMMSs) contain valuable data on the maintenance operations in an organization. A large part of these data consists of unstructured, written texts contained in failure notifications which are generated each …

Quantifying agonistic interactions between group-housed animals to derive social hierarchies using computer vision: a case study with commercially group-housed rabbits

In recent years, computer vision has contributed significantly to the study of farm animal behavior. In complex environments such as commercial farms, however, the automated detection of social behavior and specific interactions between animals can …

Comparing a product-specific versus a general emoji list to measure consumers’ emotional associations with chocolate and predict food choice

Emoji have been proposed as a way to get additional insights in how consumers perceive food products. Recent works have indicated that emoji are able to provide distinctive emotional associations with food products, regardless of whether one is using …

Predicting the hydrodynamic properties of a bioreactor: Conditional density estimation as a surrogate model for CFD simulations

The rising quantity and quality demands in biopharmaceutical manufacturing require a deep understanding of the underlying bioprocesses. For this purpose, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations are typically used to predict the hydrodynamics …

Uncovering new insights and misconceptions on the effectiveness of phosphate solubilizing rhizobacteria in plants: a meta-analysis

As the awareness on the ecological impact of chemical phosphate fertilizers grows, research turns to sustainable alternatives such as the implementation of phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB), which make largely immobile phosphorous reserves in …

Improved Wood Species Identification Based On Multi-View Imagery of The Three Anatomical Planes

The identification of tropical African wood species based on microscopic imagery is a challenging problem due to the heterogeneous nature of the composition of wood combined with the vast number of candidate species. Image classification methods that …

Shifts in the rhizobiome during consecutive in planta enrichment for phosphate-solubilizing bacteria differentially affect maize P status

Phosphorus (P) is despite its omnipresence in soils often unavailable for plants. Rhizobacteria able to solubilize P are therefore crucial to avoid P deficiency. Selection for phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) is frequently done in vitro; …
