European Union (EU) - NORTE-01-0145-FEDER-000047 Publisher Copyright: © The Author(s) 2024.; Reliable in-vitro digestion models that are able to successfully replicate the conditions found in the human gastrointestinal tract are key to assess the fate and efficiency of new formulations aimed for oral consumption. However, current in-vitro models either lack the capability to replicate crucial dynamics of digest...
Publisher Copyright: © 2023 The Author(s); In this article we propose a binary classification model to distinguish a specific class that corresponds to a characteristic that we intend to identify (fraud, spam, disease). The classification model is based on a cloud of spheres that circumscribes the points of the class to be identified. It is intended to build a model based on a cloud and not on a disjoint set of...
