According to news reporting from Hohhot, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, "Lactobacillus delbru eckii subsp. bulgaricus (L. bulgaricus) and Streptococcus thermophilus (S. therm ophilus) are commonly used starters in milk fermentation. Fermentation experimen ts revealed that L. bulgaricus-S. thermophilus interactions (LbStI) substantiall y impact dairy product quality and production." The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from Inner Mongolia A gricultural University, "Traditional biological humidity experiments are time-co nsuming and labor-intensive in screening interaction combinations, an artificial intelligence-based method for screening interactive starter combinations is nec essary. However, in the current research on artificial intelligence based intera ction prediction in the field of bioinformatics, most successful models adopt su pervised learning methods, and there is a lack of research on interaction predic tion with only a small number of labeled samples. Hence, this study aimed to dev elop a semi-supervised learning framework for predicting LbStI using genomic dat a from 362 isolates (181 per species). The framework consisted of a two-part mod el: a co-clustering prediction model (based on the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes a nd Genomes (KEGG) dataset) and a Laplacian regularized least squares prediction model (based on K-mer analysis and gene composition of all isolates datasets). T o enhance accuracy, we integrated the separate outcomes produced by each compone nt of the two-part model to generate the ultimate LbStI prediction results, whic h were verified through milk fermentation experiments. Validation through milk f ermentation experiments confirmed a high precision rate of 85% (17 /20; validated with 20 randomly selected combinations of expected interacting is olates). Our data suggest that the biosynthetic pathways of cysteine, riboflavin , teichoic acid, and exopolysaccharides, as well as the ATP-binding cassette tra nsport systems, contribute to the mutualistic relationship between these starter bacteria during milk fermentation. However, this finding requires further exper imental verification."

    Data on Robotics Discussed by Researchers at Fujian University of Technology (In telligent human-robot collaborative handover system for arbitrary objects based on 6D pose recognition)

According to news reporting originating from Fuzhou, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "In daily practic e, there are several instances of diverse object handover between humans. For ex ample, in an automobile production line, workers need to pick up parts and deliv er them to colleagues or acquire parts from them and put the parts in the approp riate position. Similarly, in households, children assist bedridden elderly peop le by passing them a cup of water, and in medical surgeries, assistants take ove r surgical tools used by doctors." Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Fujian University o f Technology: "These tasks require a considerable amount of time and manpower. I n these scenarios, it is necessary to deliver the target object efficiently and quickly while prioritizing the safety of the object. Collaborative robots can se rve as human colleagues to perform these simple, time-consuming, and laborious t asks. We expect humans and robots to hand over objects seamlessly in a natural a nd efficient way, just as humans naturally hand over objects to each other. This paper proposes a 6-dimensional (6D) pose recognitionbased human-robot collabor ative handover system to address the problem of inaccurate object grasping cause d by imprecise recognition of object poses during the human-robot collaborative handover process. The main contents are as follows: To solve the 6D pose recogni tion problem, a residual network (ResNet) is introduced to conduct semantic segm entation and key-point vector field prediction on the image, and the random samp le consensus (RANSAC) voting is used to predict key-point coordinates. Further, an improved efficient perspective-n-point (EPnP) algorithm is used to predict th e object pose, which can improve the accuracy. An improved dataset production me thod is proposed by analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of the LineMod da taset and based on the latest 3-dimensional (3D) reconstruction technology. To r ealize the accurate identification of daily objects, which can reduce the time r equired for dataset production. The transformation relationship (from the object to the camera and then to the robot base coordinate systems) is obtained throug h internal parameter calibration and hand-eye calibration methods of the camera. Thus, the pose of the target object in the robot base coordinate system is dete rmined. Further, a grasping method for effective position and orientation calcul ation is proposed to realize precise object pose localization and accurate grasp ing. A handover experiment platform was set up to validate the effectiveness of the proposed human-robot collaborative handover system, with four volunteers con ducting 80 handover experiments."

According to news reporting out of Macao, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx editors, research stated, "This study investigated how the inc reasing usage of artificial intelligence (AI) in diverse business applications h as affected task performance." Our news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from City University of Macau: "Building on the job demands-resources model, we employed moderated me diation modeling to investigate the association between AI usage and the task pe rformance of delivery drivers. Participants comprised 251 delivery drivers who c ompleted online surveys over a 1-month period. Hierarchical regression analysis revealed that work engagement played a mediating role in the association between AI usage and the task performance of delivery drivers. Moreover, the mediating role of work engagement was moderated by an individual's concept of their future work self. When an individual had a stronger sense of their future work self, t he mediating role of work engagement became more pronounced."
