Comparison and Prediction of the Ecological Footprint of Water Resources—Taking Guizhou Province as an Example by Yongtao Wang, Wenfeng Yang, Jian Liu, Enhui Lu, Ye Li, Ning Chen

“…This research establishes an evaluation framework for predicting water resource availability in Guizhou through the synergistic application of three methodologies: (1) the water-based ecological accounting framework (WEF), (2) ecosystem service thresholds defined by the water ecological carrying capacity of water resources (WECC) thresholds, and (3) composite sustainability metrics, all correlated with contemporary hydrological utilization profiles. Spatiotemporal patterns were quantified across the province’s nine administrative divisions during the 2013–2022 period through time-series analysis, with subsequent WEF projections for 2023–2027 generated via Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) temporal forecasting techniques.…”

Impact of thermal treatment on the quality, total antioxidant and antibacterial properties of fermented camel milk by Nagwa Hussein Ismail Abou-Soliman, Hagar Saeed Abd-Rabou, Sameh Awad, Amel A. Ibrahim

“…Heating milk to 90 °C for 30 min notably reduced fermentation time, increased fermented milk viscosity, and altered whey protein electrophoretic patterns. While thermal treatments below 90 °C boosted lactic acid bacteria count in fermented milk compared to raw milk-derived samples (control), all treatments exceeded the recommended standards throughout storage. …”
