Abstract: This study investigates how to use the gridded satellite datasets of observational precipitation to improve the performance of the climatological simulation by using the method of non-parametric quantile mapping (QM). The precipitation in Southeast Asia is simulated in 2001–2005 using the climate model of Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF). Two satellite datasets of observational precipitation, GSMaP and CHIRPS, are used for model training, simulation evaluation, and cross-validation. The evaluations of simulation and bias correction suggest that QM is able to perfectly correct the overall quantile distributions of the simulated precipitation, which has overestimation at most quantiles, especially for light and extreme precipitation. After the QM correction based on GSMaP (CHIRPS), the relative bias of the monthly average for all months is reduced from 39.3% to 4.1% (from 57.2% to 4.2%). The biases of spatial patterns are largely narrowed from 43.5% (59.4%) to 4.0% (2.5%) for annual-mean precipitation and from 43.5% (59.4%) to 4.0% (2.5%) for extreme precipitation. The results indicate that the QM correction based on the gridded satellite datasets outperforms the raw model output and greatly improves the estimates of the simulated precipitation.Dataset description:Name regulation: XXX05: 5km; XXX10: 10km; 01-12: 12 months; OBS: observation; WRF: WRF simulation; QMC: quantile mapping correction.Folder "grid_data_OBS": daily grid data of observation;Folder "grid_data_WRF": daily grid data of WRF simulation;Folder "grid_data_QMC": daily grid data of QM correction;Folder "Figure 2 - cdf_OBS_WRF_QMC": data for results in Figure 2;Folder "Figure 3 - statistics_mon_QMC": data for results in Figure 3;Folder "Figure 4 - annual precipitation": data for results in Figure 4;Folder "Figure 5 - extreme precipitation": data for results in Figure 5.

These files are accompanying material for our submission "Using a Machine Learning Regression Approach to Predict the Aroma Partitioning in Diary Matrices" to MDPI Processes:

Aroma partitioning in food is a challenging area of research due to the contribution of several physical and chemical factors that affect the binding and release of aroma in food matrices. The partition coefficient measured by the Kmg value refers to the partition coefficient that describes how aroma compounds distribute themselves between matrices and a gas phase, such as between different components of a food matrix and air. This study introduces a regression approach to predict the Kmg value of aroma compounds of a wide range of physicochemical properties in dairy matrices representing products of different compositions and/or processing. The approach consists of data cleaning, grouping based on the temperature of Kmg analysis, pre-processing (log transformation and normalization), and, finally, the development and evaluation of prediction models with regression methods. We compared regression analysis with linear regression (LR) to five machine-learning-based regression algorithms: Random Forest Regressor (RFR), Gradient Boosting Regression (GBR), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost, XGB), Support Vector Regression (SVR), and Artificial Neural Network Regression (NNR). Explainable AI (XAI) was used to calculate feature importance and therefore identify the features that mainly contribute to the prediction. The top three features that were identified are log P, specific gravity, and molecular weight. For the prediction of the Kmg in dairy matrices, R2 scores of up to 0.99 were reached. For 37.0 °C, which resembles the temperature of the mouth, RFR delivered the best results, and, at lower temperatures of 7.0 ◦C, typical for a household fridge, XGB performed best. The results from the models work as a proof of concept and show the applicability of a data-driven approach with machine learning to predict the Kmg value of aroma compounds in different dairy matrices.

We provided two folders with the results and scripts, described by documentation:

(Source; https://www.iqvia.com/insights/the-iqvia-institute/reports-and-publications/reports/biosimilars-in-the-united-states-2023-2027)

Of this, 14% is made up of molecules facing competition from biosimilars (USD 38 billion), and 70% is made up of molecules that could potentially have biosimilars in the future (USD 181 billion). This expansion suggests that the production and preservation of biologicals have a significant demand for freeze-drying equipment.

Additionally, vaccinations are crucial for preventing infectious diseases and advancing public health. Due to government attempts to combat illnesses and the need for preventative healthcare measures, the worldwide vaccine industry is growing at a rapid pace. For instance, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for immunizations surged worldwide, requiring increased freeze-dry technology-based production and distribution operations. Pharmaceutical companies are putting more and more emphasis on better medication formulations, like injectables, lyophilized drugs, and oral solid dosage forms. The pharmaceutical industry's growth and the necessity for equipment for freeze-drying to meet the demands of complex medication formulations are to blame for this surge. Improved freeze-drying technologies will be required as the pharmaceutical business develops and grows, which will accelerate the global trend in freeze-drying equipment sales. The use of lyophilization is crucial for both pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturing.

For instance, according to an article published in the Pharmaceutics Journal in July 2021, freeze drying, also known as lyophilization, is the most employed process for producing pharmaceutical products that are unstable and thermosensitive in an aqueous medium in order to ensure stability and long-term storage in the dried state. Given the advantages, the demand for lyophilization equipment and services by pharmaceutical and biotech companies is estimated to rise during the analysis period.
