Molecular Fractionation Induced by Viscosity-Driven Segregative Phase Separation Behavior of Gum Arabic/Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose by Lingyu Han, Cunzhi Zhang, Nuo Dong, Jixin Yang, Qiuyue Zheng, Xiaobo Zhang, Ronggang Liu, Jijuan Cao, Bing Hu

“…By conducting a comparative analysis of two GA subtypes (CGA and SGA) and three HPMC grades with controlled viscosity gradients, we utilized gel permeation chromatography-multi-angle laser light scattering (GPC-MALLS) coupled with rheological characterization to elucidate the critical relationship between continuous phase viscosity and fractionation efficiency. Notably, increasing HPMC viscosity significantly intensified phase separation, resulting in selective enrichment of arabinogalactan-protein complexes: from 6.3% to 8.5% in CGA/HPMC systems and from 27.3% to 36.5% in SGA/HPMC systems. …”

Real-Time Forest Fire Detection with Lightweight CNN Using Hierarchical Multi-Task Knowledge Distillation by Ismail El-Madafri, Marta Peña, Noelia Olmedo-Torre

“…The dataset comprised primary classes (fire vs. non-fire) and detailed subclasses that account for confounding elements such as smoke, fog, and reflections. The novelty of this approach lies in leveraging knowledge distillation to transfer the deeper insights learned by the DenseNet201 teacher model—specifically, the auxiliary task of recognizing the confounding elements responsible for false positives—into a lightweight student model, enabling it to achieve a similar robustness without the need for complex architectures. …”
