English

Subject field(s)
  • Nutritive Elements (Biological Sciences)

CONT

The body requires a number of minerals in order to maintain its proper functioning. The minerals are used for a variety of physiological processes such as building blood and bone, making hormones, regulating heartbeat, and more. There are two types of minerals. Macrominerals are needed in large amounts. Trace minerals are needed in very small amounts. The macrominerals are calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride, and sulfur. The trace minerals are iron, manganese, copper, iodine, zinc, cobalt, fluoride, and selenium.

OBS

Macrominerals are typically needed at levels higher than 100 mg [milligrams]/day ...

"Our success with orange juice has created an opportunity to apply the technology to less acidic fruit and vegetable juices. In addition, we see a growing trend in dairy-based foods which will also benefit from Better Than Fresh TM processing. "Carbon dioxide has been used for years to extend the shelf life of dairy products such as cottage cheese when trace amounts are sparged into product. Praxair's recent testing with its dense-phase CO2 system is producing consistent results including the finding that with the dense-phase CO2 process, the number of spoilage microorganisms is greatly reduced allowing for extended shelf life without subjecting product to detrimental levels of heat in thermal pasteurization.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

A number of different variants trace their ancestry back to Hebb. Perhaps the simplest version is : When unit A and unit B are simultaneously excited, increase the strength of the connection between them. A natural extension of this rule to cover the positive and negative activation values is : Adjust the strength of the connection between units A and B in proportion to the product of their simultaneous activation. For simplicity of reference, we will call this the Hebb rule.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
DEF

Règle d'apprentissage (selon laquelle) le poids d'une connexion est augmenté, si pour la nouvelle association, les unités reliées par cette connexion ont une activité de même signe, et diminué si pour la nouvelle association les unités ont une activité de signe contraire.

CONT

La règle de Hebb est le premier mécanisme d'évolution proposé pour les synapses. Son interprétation pour les réseaux de neurones formels est la suivante : on considère que si deux neurones connectés entre eux sont activés au même moment, la connexion qui les relie doit être renforcée. Dans les cas contraires, elle n'est pas modifiée.
