This paper presents a data-driven experimental approach to identify models and design efficient automation strategies that optimize the drying-cooling process of 2D-shaped bread during the redesign of low-automated production systems. Thin-layer drying-cooling equations are shown to be suitable for describing the water and heat transfer dynamics in flatbreads. These equations can be used to predict the time required to achieve desired levels of moisture and temperature as a function of external temperature. This knowledge is then used to derive a discrete-time model of the drying-cooling process, which helps identify the most suitable re-engineering actions to improve production and quality while reducing waste. The case study involves a bakery that produces Carasau bread, which is a flat and dry bread typical of the Sardinian tradition with a long history and renewed interest in recent years. In this scenario, the drying-cooling process occurs during transportation via conveyor belts. We discuss how the process can be optimized using real-time measurements an adaptative control of the speed given the length of the conveyor belt. This represents a significant step forward in automating the manufacturing process of Carasau bread.

Global climate change challenges agricultural production, as extreme temperature fluctuations negatively affect crop growth and yield. Low temperature(LT) stress impedes photosynthesis, disrupts metabolic processes, and compromises the integrity of cell membranes, ultimately resulting in diminished yield and quality. Notably, many tropical or subtropical horticultural plants are particularly susceptible to LT stress. To address these challenges,it is imperative to understand the mechanisms underlying cold tolerance in horticultural crops. This review summarizes recent advances in the physiological and molecular mechanisms that enable horticultural crops to withstand LT stress, emphasizing discrepancies between horticultural crops and model systems. These mechanisms include Crepeat binding factor-dependent transcriptional regulation, post-translational modifications, epigenetic control, and metabolic regulation. Reactive oxygen species, plant hormones, and light signaling pathways are integrated into the cold response network. Furthermore, technical advances for improving cold tolerance are highlighted, including genetic improvement, the application of lightemitting diodes, the utility of novel plant growth regulators, and grafting. Finally, prospective directions for fundamental research and practical applications to boost cold tolerance are discussed.

Effective frequency control stands as a pivotal concern in the operation of power systems, given its direct impact on system productivity and reliability. This research unveils a novel approach by introducing a Hierarchical Type-II Fuzzy (HT2F) controller, tailor-made for a thermal interconnected power system spanning two distinct areas. The study takes into account critical factors including production rate limitations, governor dead-band effects, and the presence of a reheat system. To fine-tune the HT2F controller's effectiveness, the Membership Function parameters are optimized utilizing the Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA). Furthermore, the adoption of a Hierarchical Fuzzy Inference System (HFIS) results in a remarkable 33% reduction in rule complexity. The paper thoroughly examines the functionality of the proposed controller and compares its performance against other methods, demonstrating the outstanding effectiveness of the proposed approach.
