    Abstract Recognition of construction waste compositions using computer vision (CV) is increasingly explored to enable its subsequent management, e.g., determining chargeable levy at disposal facilities or waste sorting using robot arms. However, the applicability of existing CV-enabled construction waste recognition in real-life scenarios is limited by their relatively low accuracy, characterized by a failure to distinguish boundaries among different waste materials. This paper aims to propose a novel boundary-aware Transformer (BAT) model for fine-grained composition recognition of construction waste mixtures. First, a pre-processing workflow is devised to separate the hard-to-recognize edges from the background. Second, a Transformer structure with a self-designed cascade decoder is developed to segment different waste materials from construction waste mixtures. Finally, a learning-enabled edge refinement scheme is used to fine-tune the ignored boundaries, further boosting the segmentation precision. The performance of the BAT model was evaluated on a benchmark dataset comprising nine types of materials in a cluttered and mixture state. It recorded a 5.48% improvement of MIoU (mean intersection over union) and 3.65% of MAcc (Mean Accuracy) against the baseline. The research contributes to the body of interdisciplinary knowledge by presenting a novel deep learning model for construction waste material semantic segmentation. It can also expedite the applications of CV in construction waste management to achieve a circular economy.

    Abstract The taste and odour profiles of dry sausages separately inoculated with four autochthonous yeasts (Debaryomyces hansenii SH4, Candida zeylanoides DQ7, Torulaspora delbrueckii HG7 and Pichia kudriavzevii MDJ1) were investigated. The inoculation of yeast increased the scores of fermented, floral and fruity odour and decreased the scores of sour taste. Notably, D. hansenii SH4 and C. zeylanoides DQ7 inoculated sausages had higher umami free amino acid contents than control sausage, as well as showed the highest umami and salty taste scores of 3.64 and 5.42, respectively. Meanwhile, the inoculation of D. hansenii SH4, Pichia kudriavzevii MDJ1 and C. zeylanoides DQ7 could increase the contents of ester, alcohol and aldehyde by 1.31, 1.32 and 1.38 times from dry sausages, respectively. Partial least squares regression analysis revealed that nine taste compounds and 34 odour compounds were mainly responsible for sensory differences between dry sausages. This study provided new insights into the relationship between chemical compounds and sensory characteristics of dry sausage, demonstrating that four autochthonous yeasts contribute significantly to the flavour formation of dry sausage.

    Abstract The effects of treatment by ultrasound (US), inoculation of Pediococcus acidilactici BP2 strain (BP), and their combination (US-BP) on the quality characteristics of beef jerky were investigated during fermentation for 6 days. Moisture contents and water activity were highest after the US and US-BP treatments (P < 0.05). These effects were attributed to the decreased moisture mobility in beef jerky during ultrasonication. Meanwhile, samples treated with US and US-BP displayed more broken muscle fibers and larger gaps and cavities between the adjacent muscle bundles, resulting in lower shear force values compared to the other samples (P < 0.05), which indicated that the US and US-BP treatments improved the tenderness of beef jerky. Moreover, treatment with BP promoted the flavor development of beef jerky. The US-BP treatment improved the sensory attributes of beef jerky. In conclusion, US-BP is a promising strategy to improve the quality of beef jerky.

    Abstract Background: LINC01503 has been reported to act as a candidate oncogenic lncRNA in several types of human cancer. However, the functions and underlying mechanisms of LINC01503 in gastric cardia adenocarcinoma (GCA) remain unclear.
    Aims: To investigate the roles and underlying mechanisms of LINC01503 in GCA progression.
    Materials and methods: Gene expressions were detected by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Gain-of-function assays were performed to evaluate the function of LINC01503 in gastric cancer cells. Bioinformatics analysis, luciferase reporter assay, and RIP assay were performed to identify associations among LINC01503, miR-133a-5p, and VIM.
    Results: The expression level of LINC01503 was significantly elevated in GCA tissues and cell lines. High expression of LINC01503 was correlated with lymph node metastasis, TNM stage, and poor prognosis of GCA patients. Knockdown of LINC01503 significantly reduced proliferation, migration, and invasion ability in GC cells. LINC01503 might function as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) via sponging miR-133a-5p to upregulate the expression of VIM. Furthermore, overexpression of LINC01503 promoted the progression of epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) in vitro.
    Conclusion: LINC01503 serves as an oncogenic lncRNA to promote GCA progression via affecting LINC01503/miR-133a-5p/VIM axis and EMT process. LINC01503 not only has a critical role in GCA progression but also provide a novel potential biomarker in predicting prognosis for GCA patients.

    Abstract Multiple studies have indicated that long non-coding RNAs are aberrantly expressed in cancers and are pivotal in developing various tumors. No studies have investigated the expression and function of long non-coding antisense RNA PCNA-AS1 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). In this study, the expression of PCNA-AS1 was identified by qRT-PCR. Cell function assays were used to explore the potential effect of PCNA-AS1 on ESCC progression. A prediction website was utilized to discover the relationships among PCNA-AS1, miR-2467-3p and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). Dual luciferase reporter gene and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays were executed to verify the binding activity between PCNA-AS1, miR-2467-3p and PCNA. As a result, PCNA-AS1 was highly expressed in ESCC and was associated with patient prognosis. PCNA-AS1 overexpression strongly contributed to ESCC cell proliferation, invasion and migration. PCNA-AS1 and PCNA were positively correlated in ESCC. Bioinformatics analysis, RIP and luciferase reporter gene assays revealed that PCNA-AS1 could act as a competitive endogenous RNA to sponge miR-2467-3p, thus upregulating PCNA. In conclusion, the current outcome demonstrates that PCNA-AS1 may be a star molecule in the treatment of ESCC.

    Abstract LINC00886 has been reported to be down-regulated in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, and aberrant DNA methylation status of it has been screened in several tumor types. However, the roles of LINC00886 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remained unclarified. The present study was to investigate the expression level, epigenetic inactivation mechanisms, and functions of LINC00886 in ESCC tumorigenesis. Frequent down-regulation of LINC00886 was verified in esophageal cancer cells and ESCC tissues. There are CpG islands spanning the promoter and exon 1 regions of LINC00886 gene, and DNA hypermethylation of proximal promoter led to transcriptional inhibition of LINC00886, moreover, histone modification also played certain roles in LINC00886 transcription. LINC00886 functioned as a tumor suppressor by inhibiting proliferation, migration, and invasion of esophageal cancer cells. LINC00886 was down-regulated following TGF-β1 treatment in esophageal cancer cells and participated in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process by regulating EMT-related genes, especially ZEB1 and ZEB2. ELF3 was proved to be one of the downstream target genes of LINC00886. LINC00886 may interact with and recruit SIRT7 to decrease acetylation level of H3K18 on the promoter region of ELF3 to inhibit its expression. Furthermore, ELF3 may promote EMT process via promoting ZEB1 and ZEB2 expression through binding to the promoter region of miR-144 to suppress miR-144-3p transcriptional activity in ESCC. These data suggest that LINC00886 may act as a tumor suppressor gene in ESCC and its down-regulation through epigenetic mechanisms promotes EMT process via SIRT7/ELF3/miR-144 pathway in ESCC. Thus, LINC00886 may be a potential therapeutic target for ESCC treatment.
