Introduction Given the complex causal origins of many non-communicable diseases (NCDs), and the complex landscapes in which policies designed to tackle them are made and unfold, the need for systems thinking and complexity science (STCS) in developing effective policy solutions has been emphasised.While numerous methods informed by STCS have been a
Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) technology encourage the adoption of AI systems for various applications.In most deployments, AI-based computing systems adopt the architecture in which the central server processes most of the data.This characteristic makes the system use a high amount of network bandwidth and can cause security issu
Bifidobacteria play a vital role in human nutrition and health by shaping and maintaining the gut ecosystem.In order to exert a beneficial effect, a sufficient population of bifidobacteria must colonise the host.In this study, we developed a miniaturised high-throughput in vitro assay for assessing the colonising ability of bacterial strains in hum
