Rapid Lactic Acid Content Detection in Secondary Fermentation of Maize Silage Using Colorimetric Sensor Array Combined with Hyperspectral Imaging by Xiaoyu Xue, Haiqing Tian, Kai Zhao, Yang Yu, Ziqing Xiao, Chunxiang Zhuo, Jianying Sun

“…The coronavirus herd immunity optimizer (CHIO) algorithm was introduced to screen three color-sensitive dyes that are more sensitive to changes in lactic acid content of maize silage. To minimize model redundancy, three algorithms, such as competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS), were used to extract the characteristic wavelengths of the three dyes, and the combination of the characteristic wavelengths obtained by each algorithm was used as an input variable to build an analytical model for quantitative prediction of the lactic acid content by support vector regression (SVR). …”

Association between diabetes mellitus and the risk for major cardiovascular outcomes and all-cause mortality in women compared with men: a meta-analysis of prospective cohort studi... by Hao Wang, Ying Ba, Qian Xing, Run-Ce Cai

“…Objective Previous studies have reported sex differences in associations between diabetes mellitus (DM) and the risk of developing coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke; however, the risk for cardiac death and all-cause mortality in women compared with men has not been reported. Therefore, this quantitative meta-analysis was performed to provide reliable estimates of sex differences in the effect of DM on major cardiovascular outcomes and all-cause mortality, irrespective of DM type.Design Meta-analysis.Data sources The PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library databases were systematically searched in April 2018.Eligibility criteria Investigations designed as prospective cohort studies that examined the association between DM and major cardiovascular outcomes and all-cause mortality stratified according to sex were included.Data extraction and synthesis Data extraction and quality assessment were independently performed by 2 of the authors, and the relative risk ratio (RRR) obtained using a random effects model was used to measure sex differences in the associations of DM with major cardiovascular outcomes and all-cause mortality.Results Thirty prospective cohort studies that reported data from 1 148 188 individuals were included. …”
