EXAMINING FOOD PREFERENCES IN THE FACE OF ENVIRONMENTAL PRESSURES

Examining food preferences in the face of environmental pressures

This paper explores systematic differences in preferences for food products labelled with environmental footprints resulting from the production Skirts of food.Specifically, we use survey data from Irish consumers and explore the relative importance of the potential risk to water quality in addition to other environmental attributes associated with

Post-Processing Method for Image Reconstruction Enhancement in Integrating-Bucket-Based Full-Field Optical Coherence Tomography

An integrating-bucket method is widely used as a reconstruction tool for full-field optical coherence tomography (FF-OCT).However, it requires high-precision adjustments of the phase modulation parameters.If the parameters are not optimal, the reconstructed tomogram will incur severe artifacts.We propose a post-processing method for removing or red

Ciliary photoreceptors in the cerebral eyes of a protostome larva

Abstract Background Eyes in bilaterian metazoans have been described as being composed of either ciliary or rhabdomeric photoreceptors.Phylogenetic distribution, as well as distinct morphologies and characteristic deployment of different photopigments (ciliary vs.rhabdomeric opsins) and transduction pathways argue for the co-existence of both of th
