Abstract

The article discusses the increasing use of robots in various industries, such as warehouses and manufacturing plants, and the need for "robot wranglers" to manage and troubleshoot these machines. While robots are being employed for tasks like transporting goods and delivering food, they often require human assistance to function properly in real-world environments. Robot technicians and trainers are responsible for fixing maintenance issues, keeping track of robot locations, and helping the machines learn how to work alongside humans. The article emphasizes that robots are not completely autonomous and highlights the importance of human-robot collaboration in the workplace. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

Drying techniques are being used more and more to extend the shelf life of industrial products. Drying could influnce the content of phenolics in food and their antioxidant activity. This study estimated the effects of different drying methods (freeze drying (FD), gradient hot air drying (GHD), and constant hot air drying (CHD)) on phenolic profiles and antioxidant activities in walnut kernels. With a maximum content of 3.61 mg g−1, GHD was found to be the most effective in preserving total phenols, while CHD and FD had maximum contents of 2.66 mg g−1 and 1.96 mg g−1, respectively. The concentration of most monomeric phenols detected in the kernels increased with temperature, particularly in the free and bound forms. Gallic acid (free form) levels in GHD2 (194.54 µg g−1) were 55.77 and 60.08 times higher, respectively, than in FD and CHD. GHD dried walnuts had higher antioxidant activity than FD and CHD dried walnuts. Furthermore, bioinformatics analysis revealed three key metabolic pathways associated with the mechanisms underlying drying changes. The GHD technique, according to these findings, is a better choice for drying walnut in order to preserve its phenolics and antioxidant activity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

*STRIKES & lockouts
Abstract

A U.S.-led coalition, supported by several countries including the U.K., launched strikes on Houthi rebel targets in Yemen in response to the rebels' attacks on ships in the Red Sea. The strikes targeted radar systems, air defense systems, and storage and launch sites for missiles and drones. The Houthis blamed the attacks on American, Zionist, and British aggression and vowed to continue their support for the Palestinian people. The strikes aimed to ensure freedom of navigation in the Red Sea, a critical commercial route. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

Middle-market companies have experienced record economic growth and revenue gains in the second half of 2023, according to a survey by Chubb. Despite challenges such as inflation, cybersecurity threats, and natural disasters, 77% of companies reported performance improvement. Middle-market companies, which make up a significant portion of the private sector GDP, have the advantage of scalability and the ability to invest in new technologies. However, they also face challenges such as underinsurance, particularly in areas such as multinational insurance and cyber coverage. Climate change and inflation remain concerns for these companies, but they are actively considering strategies to mitigate risks and protect their assets. [Extracted from the article]
