IRJET- An Efficient System to Detect Freshness and Quality of FoodIRJET Journal
The document describes a proposed system to detect the freshness and quality of food using sensors. The system would use a hydrogen sensor, moisture sensor, and gas sensor attached to an Arduino board to measure parameters of foods like dairy products and fruits. The sensor readings would be sent to a server for analysis and compared to thresholds to determine if the food is fresh. Results would be displayed on an LCD screen as well as stored in a database. A web application would allow admin, students, and organizations to view the results and submit complaints if the system provides inaccurate results. The goal is to help ensure food safety and reduce food poisoning.
In past, Many momentous scientific discoveries were made accidentally in natural and unusual habitats. Today, biotechnology research is typically done in well equipped, technology loaded expensive laboratories.

This document summarizes terminator gene technology, which genetically modifies plants to produce sterile seeds. It was developed by the seed industry to prevent seed saving. There are two types: varietal GURT (V-GURT) renders all subsequent seeds sterile, while trait GURT (T-GURT) switches traits on/off using chemical treatments. While it provides benefits to industry, it is controversial due to concerns over loss of biodiversity and impact on small farmers who rely on seed saving. Most countries have imposed a moratorium on field testing and commercialization of terminator seeds.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
