sciforum-098881	Optimisation of microbiological, physicochemical and textural quality attributes of goat milk kefir. Mariem Ayed , Ursula Gonzales-Barron , Vasco Cadavez Submitted: 28 Jun 2024 Abstract: Show Abstract	Mariem Ayed , Ursula Gonzales-Barron , Vasco Cadavez	Show Abstract Comment
Kefir is a popular probiotic drink known for its fermented, acidic, and slightly alcoholic properties. This study aimed to determine key processing variables, namely, the ratio of kefir grains/milk, the incubation temperature, and the incubation time, that optimise the quality of pasteurised goat milk kefir. Fourteen kefir treatments built upon three grain/milk ratios (0.5%, 1%, and 1.5%), three incubation times (16 h, 20 h, and 24 h), and three incubation temperatures (15 °C, 20 °C, and 25 °C) were carried out, according to a Box–Behnken design with three central points, to determine the best triplet variables regarding the following properties: pH, acidity (% of lactic acid), syneresis (%), mesophile and lactic acid bacteria concentrations, firmness, consistency, cohesiveness, and viscosity index. Response surface analysis was applied to each of the quality attributes. It was found that all the quality properties were affected by the three factors, with the factors having, in all cases, significant effects (p<0.05) for the first-order estimation. Kefir acidity was maximised at 0.66%, 25.3 ºC, and 22.8 h, although the temperature had a much greater effect than time, and in turn, the latter had a greater effect than the grains/milk ratio. In terms of the textural properties, the firmness and viscosity index were maximised under conditions of 1.07%, 19.9 ºC, and 17.4 h and 1.28%, 18.5 ºC, and 20.4 h, respectively. At an incubation temperature of 25 ºC, syneresis was found to be between 38.5 and 39.9%; lower values (4.46 – 4.49%) were attained at 15 ºC. Lower incubation temperatures or longer incubation times can also produce kefir with the desired acidity and textural quality regarding hardness and consistency, but only if the ratio is increased (>1.0%). Thus, this study has been very valuable in understanding the effects of these three key processing variables and helping in the determination of the variables necessary to obtain goat milk kefir of good technological quality for subsequent studies.
sciforum-103526	Green Synthesis of Carbon-Based Aerogels for Sustainable Applications Florina Rus , Cristina Mosoarca , Radu Banica Submitted: 14 Nov 2024 Abstract: Show Abstract	Florina Rus , Cristina Mosoarca , Radu Banica	Show Abstract Comment
Aerogels, with low density and high porosity, are promising materials for applications in food packaging, energy storage, thermal insulation, and water treatment [1]. This study introduces a sustainable method for producing carbon-based aerogels via hydrothermal carbonization of accessible precursors. Samples with CaCl₂ and glucose at mass ratios <2 were placed in PTFE-lined autoclaves and heated to 220°C. After cooling, the solid products were recovered and analyzed using XRD, SEM-EDX, FTIR, and UV-VIS DRS.At temperatures above 146 ºC, glucose liquefies, dissolving CaCl₂ and forming a viscous mass that decomposes above 200 ºC, releasing water vapor and CO₂, which expands the melt. The aerogel’s volume remains stable unless bubble coalescence collapses the foam. Experiments show that without CaCl₂, the carbon structure is nearly non-porous. Adding CaCl₂ creates a porous structure with a maximum pore size of ~40 micrometers at a CaCl₂/glucose ratio of 0.5. The average pore size decreases by over 50% as this ratio exceeds 1.8. XRD spectra also reveal CaCO₃ formation from CO₂ reacting with molten CaCl₂, with solid particles reducing pore coalescence by increasing viscosity. The study presents a novel method for producing carbon aerogels in a closed environment through thermal decomposition of glucose–calcium chloride mixtures. By adjusting the CaCl₂ : glucose ratio, the average pore size can be controlled, enabling formation of either non-porous amorphous carbon or closed-cell aerogels. Higher CaCl₂ concentrations result in smaller pores due to increased viscosity and enhanced surface tension of the melt. In conclusion, the development of tunable pore size aerogels through the controlled synthesis of carbon aerogels offers significant potential for a wide range of applications. These materials have the potential to revolutionize fields like energy storage, catalysis, environmental remediation, and biomedical engineering.

sciforum-105399	Variable Angle Spectroscopic Ellipsometry of thick TiO₂-P25 films: graded-layer modeling for depth-dependent optical analysis Grazia Giuseppina Politano Submitted: 18 Nov 2024 Abstract: Show Abstract	Grazia Giuseppina Politano	Show Abstract Comment
Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) is a highly versatile material extensively used due to its non-toxic nature, chemical stability and high photocatalytic activity. These features make TiO₂ particularly promising for a wide range of applications, especially as a film coating on various substrates. TiO₂ is commercially available in many forms, including pure anatase and mixed-phase products like P25, which is a mixture of anatase (80%) and rutile (approximately ≤20%), ideal for photocatalysis. In this study, TiO₂-P25 films on FTO substrates were synthesized using the sol-gel process and studied using Variable Angle Spectroscopy Ellipsometry (VASE) to determine their optical constants and thickness. The measurements were carried out at room temperature in the wavelength range (300–900) nm at incident angles varying from 55° to 70°. The resulting thicknesses were found to be ranging from 1000 nm to 10000 nm. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) measurements confirmed the porous nature of the films, suggesting an inhomogeneous structure with depth-dependent compositional gradients. The novelty of this study lies in the structural complexity of these films that presented unique challenges for VASE measurements, which are typically straightforward for thinner films under a few hundred nanometers. A graded layer model, which allowed for an accurate representation of the depth-dependent optical variations, was employed to model the properties of these TiO₂-P25 films. This advanced modeling approach provided deeper insights into the internal structure of the films, particularly how the graded structural characteristics impact the overall optical behavior. The bottom layers of the films typically exhibited a significant increase in both refractive index and extinction coefficient, indicating greater density and higher absorbance compared to the top layers. Understanding these depth-dependent variations is essential for optimizing the use of TiO₂-P25 films in technologies such as solar cells and optical devices, where precise control over material properties is critical.
sciforum-104539	Extension of the Log-Logistic Distribution for Groundwater Analysis and Potability Prediction Using Machine Learning Models Ahmad Abubakar Suleiman , Hanita Daud , Aliyu Ishaq , Rajalingam Sokkalingam , Suleiman Suleiman , Ameer Abdullahi , Bashir Garba , Rabiu Yunus Submitted: 14 Nov 2024 Abstract: Show Abstract	Ahmad Abubakar Suleiman , Hanita Daud , Aliyu Ishaq , Rajalingam Sokkalingam , Suleiman Suleiman , Ameer Abdullahi , Bashir Garba , Rabiu Yunus	Show Abstract Comment
Groundwater quality analysis and potability prediction are essential for public health and sustainable environmental management. This study adopts a two-part approach, integrating statistical modeling and machine learning classification to analyze groundwater data. In the modeling phase, we introduced the Inverse Power Log-Logistic (IPLL) distribution, specifically designed to capture the unique characteristics of groundwater quality data, focusing on pH and sulfate concentrations due to their significant impact on water potability and health. pH levels are critical as they affect water acidity and the potential for heavy metal dissolution, while sulfate concentrations are commonly associated with water taste and health risks when present in excess. We derived key structural properties of the IPLL distribution, including its moments, hazard, and survival functions, with parameters estimated using maximum likelihood estimation. Compared to conventional models, the IPLL distribution shows enhanced flexibility and accuracy, as measured by metrics such as AIC, BIC, and RMSE. In the classification phase, we applied machine learning algorithms—logistic regression, K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Support Vector Classifier (SVC), and Random Forest—to predict groundwater potability. Performance was evaluated using accuracy, F1-score, and ROC-AUC. Random Forest achieved the highest accuracy (92.3%), F1-score (0.89), and ROC-AUC (0.94), with SVC following closely at 89.7% accuracy, 0.87 F1-score, and 0.92 ROC-AUC. Both KNN and logistic regression models also performed well, achieving accuracy scores of 87.5% and 85.2%, respectively. This study offers a comprehensive framework for groundwater analysis, combining advanced statistical modeling with effective machine learning classification. The IPLL distribution’s adaptability to environmental data and the machine learning models' predictive strength in potability assessment provide valuable insights for public health officials and environmental policymakers. This dual approach has broad potential applications in fields that require reliable data modeling and prediction.
sciforum-100798	Optimizing Brain Tumor Classification: Integrating Deep Learning and Machine Learning with Hyperparameter Tuning Vijay Kumar Velpula , Kamireddy Rasool Reddy , Naga Prakash K , Prasanthi Jasmine K Submitted: 22 Nov 2024 Abstract: Show Abstract	Vijay Kumar Velpula , Kamireddy Rasool Reddy , Naga Prakash K , Prasanthi Jasmine K	Show Abstract Comment
Brain tumors significantly impact global health, posing serious challenges for accurate diagnosis due to their diverse nature and complex characteristics. Effective diagnosis and classification are essential for selecting the best treatment strategies and forecasting patient outcomes. Presently, histopathological examination of biopsy samples is the established method for brain tumor identification and classification. However, this method is invasive, time-consuming, and susceptible to human error. To address these limitations, we required a fully automated approach to classify brain tumors. Recent advancements in deep learning, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs), have shown promise in enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of brain tumor classification from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. In response, we developed a model integrating machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques. The process started by splitting the data into training, testing, and validation sets before resizing the images and then performing cropping to enhance model quality and efficiency. Further, the relevant texture features are extracted using a modified Visual Geometry Group (VGG) architecture. These features were fed to various supervised ML models, including support vector machine (SVM), k-nearest neighbors (KNN), logistic regression (LR), stochastic gradient descent (SGD), random forest (RF), and AdaBoost, with GridSearchCV-based hyperparameter tuning. The evaluation of the model’s performance was conducted using several key metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and specificity. The experimental results demonstrate that the presented approach offers a robust, automated solution for brain tumor classification, achieving the highest accuracy of 94.02% with VGG19 and 96.30% with VGG16. The proposed model can significantly assist healthcare professionals in early detection of tumors and improving diagnosis accuracy.
