Just the Kitchen. On Food Preparation in the Late Middle Ages and Early Modern Period by Anna Marciniak-Kajzer

“…These are usually separate buildings, functioning as back-of-house facilities. The former were located separately, most probably because of the fire hazard, and the latter perhaps because of the odours that were generated by the brewing process and the maturation or drying of the cheeses. …”

Assay of Serum Iron and TIBC: A Preliminary Study for Survey Shortlisting Suspected Tuberculosis Patients by Dipak Kumar Chattopadhyay

“…Statistical computation of the ratio of serum Fe and serum TIBC in TB patients had shown to be as high as 0.63, and more than that. Conclusion: From statistical computation, it might be conferred that serum Fe more than 149 µg/dL and the ratio of serum Fe to serum TIBC more than 0.63 (which is more important) in preliminary survey detecting TB patients would shortlist the TB suspects deserving confirmatory test for TB diagnosis.…”

Detour-Straddle 3D-like path planning of unmanned mining truck in open pit mines based on optimized ant colony algorithm by Mingyu GAO, Jiusheng BAO, Yan YIN, Deping HU, Kekun ZHANG, Chenzhong ZHU, Maosen WANG, Kai WANG

“…The simulation results show that: After optimization, the path length of the ant colony algorithm is shortened by 16.53% and 16.79% respectively in the scenario with fewer and more obstacles. Moreover, the path quality is effectively improved by reducing the path inflection point, making the path generated by the algorithm more in line with the actual demand. …”
