Production of a functional human milk oligosaccharide, 2'-fucosyllactose, using microbial cell factories
… immune system. Among HMOs, 2’-fucosyllactose (2-FL), composed of L-fucose and D-lactose, is known to possess an anti-infection capability against many harmful organisms such as Campylobacter jejuni, enteropathogenic Escherichia coli, and even Norovirus. Consequently, great quantities of 2-FL are …

Multi-Center Federated Learning to Cluster Clients with non-IID data
Federated learning (FL) is a new machine learning paradigm to collaboratively learn an intelligent model across many clients without uploading local data to the server. Non-IID data across clients is a significant challenge for the FL system because its inherited distributed machine learning …

Comparison of deterministic, stochastic and fuzzy logic uncertainty modelling for capacity extension projects of DI/WFI pharmaceutical plant utilities with variable/dynamic demand
The last 30 years have seen Fuzzy Logic (FL) emerging as a method either complementing or challenging stochastic methods as the traditional method of modelling uncertainty. But the circumstances under which FL or stochastic methods should be used are shrouded in disagreement, because the areas of …
