Short-term consequences of daily consumption of the quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) diet in normal and diabetic rats by Murali Adiga, S. D. Manjula, Dhiren Punja, Chakravarthy Marx Sadacharan, Dinesh Upadhya, K. Vasanthalaxmi, Nanda Acharya, Chinmay Suryavanshi

“…However, the safety and efficacy of varying concentrations of dietary quinoa on metabolic and histological parameters in diabetic and non-diabetic models remain underexplored. This study aimed to evaluate the short-term effects of different quinoa supplementation levels (0%, 20%, 40%, and 80%) on glycemic control, lipid metabolism, hepatic and renal function, hematological indices, and organ histopathology in normal and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. …”

The soft computing approaches in optimising multi-objective mechanical design of a weeding robot by Afsaneh Soleimani

“…The optimized dimensions and masses were derived using a multi-objective genetic algorithm (MGA), and a finite element method (FEM) analysis of the resulting models was performed in Ansys R18.2. The results indicated that the maximum weight reduction for the suspension system and the increase in the safety factor for the wheels achieved were 24.6 % (from 1.75 kg to 1.32 kg) and 36.0 % (from 1.50 to 2.51), respectively. …”
