Multimode Ultrastrong Coupling with FW-BICs in THz Metasurface
… used in the two-band Hamiltonian to predict the FW-BIC locations. Coupled mode theory (CMT) was used to approximate the upper and lower polaritons. Since this is multimode coupling, it is more complex, and a fuller semi-classical theory is needed to describe the complex light-matter interactions. …

Exploring the role of AI in enhancing sustainability within New Zealand's hospitality industry: A study on knowledge, applicability, and perception in reducing food waste
… for a significant amount of food waste (FW). In recent years, there has been a growing interest globally in artificial intelligence (AI) to curb FW in the hospitality industry. This study explores the role of AI in reducing FW and enhancing sustainability within New Zealand's hospitality …

Evaluation of solid food waste for biogas and manure production: a case study of the University of Venda Canteen Solid Food Waste
… method for managing and valorising food waste (FW), in South Africa, its use is in the infancy stage. Lack of awareness and adequate knowledge of the potential of FW for biogas and manure production could be the reason for the observed slow uptake of AD in South Africa. This study evaluated the …

Factors involved in the control of plasma thyroid hormone concentrations during an induced molt in the domestic hen
… traditional method of temporary feed withdrawal (FW). Molting mechanisms were also studied. Molt was induced by infusion of a gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-A; (D-Leu$\sp6$,Pro$\sp9$) -GnRH N-ethylamide), and compared with molt induced by FW. Hens were divided into three groups: (1) …

Development of co-disposal methods for coal discards and fine waste for the prevention of acid mine drainage
… increase in coal discards (CD) and fine waste (FW) arising from mining and processing operations. These wastes typically contain sulphide minerals, which when oxidised may lead to the generation of acidic and toxic discharge. A deficit of naturally occurring neutralising minerals to counteract …

Process development for ethanol production from food waste
… and materials sectors. Starch-rich food waste (FW) has the potential to substantially contribute to the sector. However, current bottlenecks in the implementation of ethanol production from FW include the lack of data on the availability and distribution of FW suitable for fermentation, high …

Ram performance testing programs in Virginia
… were influenced (P < .001) by TSC, BT, YW and FW. The importance of YW increased with time, while the role of TSC declined in later time periods, suggesting that buyers were willing to pay more for superior performance and less for subjective conformation and type in later years than when the …

Effects of synbiotics on cancer risk biomarkers
… and tumour promoting potential of faecal water (FW). Synbiotic consumption altered the composition of the gastrointestinal flora and reduced in vivo genotoxic damage and the genotoxic potential of FW in cancer and polyp subjects. Synbiotic consumption also reduced the proliferative activity in …

Eating quality and variability in carotenoid content and profiles in winter squash and sweet potato
… maxima cultigens ranged from 146 to 320 mug/g FW; whereas, after 60 d of storage, carotenoid content was 274 to 623 mug/g FW. Among Cucurbita moschata cultigens carotenoid content ranged from 43 to 157 mug/g FW, lower than in Cucurbita maxima cultigens, yet Cucurbita moschata cultigens had a …

Growth response to resistance exercise : influence of exercise device
… weight stack device (WS) and a flywheel device (FW). Eight recreationally trained males (25 ± 9 y, 77 ± 27 kg) performed 4 sets of 7 repetitions of bilateral knee extension on each exercise device separated by 7 days. Muscle biopsies were obtained from the vastus lateralis at rest and 4 hrs …

Learning Mixed Multinomial Logit Models
… In Chapter 3, motivated by the Frank-Wolfe (FW) algorithm, we propose a framework that learns both mixture weights and component-specific logit parameters with provable convergence guarantees for arbitrary number of mixtures. Our algorithm utilizes historical choice data to generate a set of …
