(Novolyze: Washington, D.C.) -- Novolyze, a leader in food safety solutions and quality digitization technology, has upgraded its environmental monitoring program (EMP) to include advanced predictive analytics and machine learning. This latest upgrade will enable Novolyzes technology to automatically generate trend charts and digital heat maps using digital data. This, in turn, will lead to better outbreak forecasting and prediction of pathogens such as listeria or salmonella, which have surged in recent months.

An EMP is a crucial tool for food and beverage manufacturers to maintain food safety and quality, especially for ready-to-eat (RTE) foods. Those are foods that require no further cooking or processing before consumption. As such, they are at higher risk of contamination by foodborne pathogens.

Novolyzes EMP has always been a critical tool for ensuring food safety and compliance. By testing the environment, including surfaces and equipment, the EMP helps manufacturers identify potential contamination risks and take appropriate corrective action to remove the risk. With the new upgrade, Novolyzes EMP is even more robust, providing manufacturers with real-time predictive analytics that enable them to stay one step ahead of potential foodborne illness outbreaks.

We are committed to providing the latest technology and solutions to help the food industry reduce risk and maintain the highest levels of food safety, says Novolyze CEO Karim-Franck Khinouche. With this latest upgrade, our EMP is more powerful than ever, and we are excited to continue helping our customers keep their food safe.

The use of predictive insight in an EMP can help food and beverage manufacturers identify potential areas of contamination before they become a problem. By collecting and analyzing data on environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and sanitation practices, manufacturers can develop models to predict where and when potential contamination events may occur. This allows them to take proactive measures to prevent contamination, rather than waiting for a problem to arise and then reacting to it.

For example, if manufacturers use predictive models to identify specific areas in the facility that are at a higher contamination risk, they can take steps to increase sanitation measures in that area or adjust production processes to reduce that risk. By doing so, they can prevent potential food safety issues and ensure that the RTE foods they produce are safe for consumption. Novolyzes EMP can support these efforts.

Additionally, the use of predictive insight in an EMP can also help improve product quality. By monitoring and analyzing data on environmental conditions, manufacturers can identify and address issues that may affect the quality of the product, such as changes in temperature or humidity. This can help ensure that the products are of consistent quality and meet the expectations of consumers.

Novolyzes EMP is particularly relevant in the current climate, with foodborne illness outbreaks becoming far too common, says Khinouche. By utilizing the latest technology, including predictive analytics and machine learning, Novolyzes EMP is helping to cut down on food safety and quality control issues, enabling manufacturers to maintain the highest levels of food safety and ensuring that consumers can trust the foods they eat.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran (IRGC) stands to take control of Irans economy by gaining full power over the "economic arteries" of the country, according to an anti-regime group.

"The documents unveiled by the MEK unequivocally demonstrate that regime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has granted the IRGC complete authority over Iran's economy," Alireza Jafarzadeh, deputy director of the Washington office of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), told Fox News Digital.

"This unprecedented move enables the IRGC to not only bypass international sanctions but also amass the requisite resources to carry out domestic oppression, destabilize the region, perpetrate acts of terrorism, cyberwarfare, and expedite the advancement of its missile, drone and nuclear weapons programs," he added.

A group affiliated with the MEK recently obtained a trove of data and defaced the Iranian Foreign Ministrys website, leaking the names of more than 11,000 ministry employees, ministry correspondences and identification documents. The MEK and NCRI are also credited with revealing in 2002 that Iran was developing nuclear weapons capabilities.

The Mujahedeen-e-Khalq, or MEK, is an active branch of the NCRI that has received strong support from prominent U.S. figures, including former National Security Advisor John Bolton and former Vice President Mike Pence who each met with the group and spoke with members in their Albania base of operation.

MEK provided Fox News Digital with documents, translated, that purportedly passed between high-ranking Iranian officials, including IRGC commanders. The documents include orders and decisions over economic policy, with IRGC command included and military command issuing some of the decisions.

The U.S. government on April 15, 2019, designated the IRGC as a terrorist organization, a designation the Biden administration has not indicated it has any intention of changing.

Some of the "economic arteries" of which the IRGC will take control include oil field, refinery, petrochemicals, steel and mines. The group will also gain control of scientific research and development including atomic development.

"It is now more crucial than ever for the European Union and the United States to abandon any aspirations of forging an agreement with Iran's ruling theocracy," Jafarzadeh said. "Engaging in commerce with the Iranian regime is tantamount to endorsing and empowering the IRGC in its nefarious activities."

"Instead, the international community should take decisive action to support the Iranian people in their unwavering pursuit of toppling the oppressive regime of the mullahs," he urged.

The IRGC, by controlling these apparatuses, will be able to directly profit from their industry, which could help them bypass the many sanctions placed on them by different countries.

The group now operates through the Resistance Economy Headquarters of the Defense Ministry. In a letter dated Jan. 10, 2023, IRGC Brigadier Gen. Ishaghi oversaw a meeting that concluded with the requirement that oil and petrochemical groups submit documents, including names of complexes, challenges the groups face and all planning and resources required, which Ishaghi would review.

A letter dated from Nov. 29, 2022, discussed involving a number of institutions and companies "from the branches of the armed forces" in projects in Uzbekistan, including tractor manufacturing and the Shastan Holding Co., which is Irans largest investment company and operates nine subsidiaries in a wide range of sectors across construction, finance and energy.

All groups in the November letter were ordered to support the armed forces and IRGC, including in the building of cement factories, thermal power plants and exploring mining opportunities.

Behnam Ben Taleblu, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies with a focus on Iranian security and political issues, told Fox News Digital that the IRGCs role and influence over much of Irans current structures of power remains "an open secret in Washington and Iran" and that many analysts globally understand the IRGC "is the most important economic player."

"Basically, the IRGC is really one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful, entities inside the government of the Islamic Republic, and it's really an upward trajectory for their political, economic fortunes inside Iran after the Iran-Iraq War," Taleblu explained, saying that a revelation of their influence over the countrys economy "could have come in 2008, and you could believe it."

Taleblu said the IRGC"was, is and is likely to remain," absent any "wholesale change in Iran," the most important, economic force in the country. "Massive holdings acquired under a false privatization drive," he added, explaining the economic consolidation the group has already achieved.

Taleblu suggested that the U.S. has enough sanction targets left in Iran to continue blunting the IRGC and regimes actions, and that such sanctions going forward will only grow in importance as the IRGC gains more influence in the country.

"The lack of enforcement against critical factors that either underwrite the IRGC activities or that directly support the IRGC activities or are directly under control by IRGC persons, means that Washington is currently doing a poor job of keeping up with this," he said.

Questions to the U.S. State Department and Iranian mission to the U.N. were not returned as of press time.

TEHRAN - Ahmed al-Mandhari, the World Health Organization director for Eastern Mediterranean Region, has sent a message to the 26th G5 High-Level Experts Meeting on Health Cooperation that was held in Tehran from May 6-10.

I strongly believe that the Group of Five Cooperation Program will add value to the health programs and operations that countries in the region implement in order to achieve the development goals of the World Health Organization, he said.

The COVID-19 pandemic has shown how public health crises damage not only people's lives but also their livelihoods.

Regional and sub-regional collaborations and partnerships are vital to the stability and prosperity of the region and it is only through collective action that we can increase achievements in promoting and improving people's health and well-being.

G5 countries (Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, plus the World Health Organization) took part in the meetings from May 6-10 with the theme of Joint Work for Solving Joint Health Problems.

Addressing the opening ceremony, Health Minister Bahram Einollahi referred to the unity and cooperation of the countries in the fields of health, treatment, and medical education as a historical necessity.

Achieving, maintaining, and promoting health is never possible in a regional way and does not happen in an isolated region, but requires the cooperation of countries, especially neighboring countries, he stressed.

To develop health in the countries of the group of five, we must look at health collectively and think about creating and promoting health in all countries.

The health sector of Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan is tied to each other. Today, with the relations and cooperation that exist in different sectors between the countries and neighbors, a disease is capable of penetrating all countries.

Therefore, our unity and cooperation is a historical necessity so that the health indicators in the region can be improved and brought to the ideal point, the minister reiterated.

He went on to say that conditions should be provided so that professors, students, and scientists can easily communicate with each other and travel to each other's countries without hindrance and hold joint scientific conferences.

Many incidents have happened in the region, such as this years huge earthquake in Turkey and last year's flood in Pakistan, which unfortunately left many damages and deaths. These bitter incidents show the need for joint cooperation to help each other.

Health is the common link of the countries of the region and it can cause the unity and development of the cooperation of the G5 countries and also a prelude to the development of the health economy, he added.

Iran has achieved many successes in the field of knowledge-based companies and is able to provide 99 percent of its pharmaceutical needs and 40 percent of its advanced medical equipment needs.

So, the country can provide the G5 with its experiences.

Einollahi pointed out that the group of five has an exceptional position due to being located in a strategic area, and the formation of this group can be a model for other countries.

One of the major problems of the G5 countries today is management in the field of health, which requires the creation of an up-to-date mechanism because management is the most important element in promoting health in the countries of the group of five.

Iran initiated the establishment of the G5 in 2005 to promote subregional cooperation in health among the group of four countries Afghanistan, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Iraq, and Pakistan plus the World Health Organization as the fifth member of this group to provide technical support in improving this collaboration.

Several activities have already been taken under this initiative, with the Islamic Republic of Iran taking responsibility for serving as its secretariat.

The first subregional workshop for G5 countries on health system strengthening was hosted by the Ministry of National Health Services, Regulations and Coordination of Pakistan on November 1920, 2013 in Islamabad, Pakistan.

Syed Jaffar Hussain, the World Health Organization Representative and Head of Mission in Iran, has appreciated the country for its efforts to enhance health security in the region.

The WHO representative also thanked Iran for holding the 26th G5 High-Level Experts Meeting on Health Cooperation and the 1st Healthcare Leadership and Governance Training Program, IRNA reported.

In June 2021, al-Mandhari said the Islamic Republic of Iran is a role model for primary health care.

For the past four decades, its PHC network has aimed to ensure that people have timely access to affordable, accessible, and acceptable essential health services, he explained.

Among all greenhouse gasses, carbon dioxide is the highest contributor to global warming. Without action by 2100, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the average temperature of the world will increase by about 1.5 degrees Celsius. Finding effective ways to capture and store carbon dioxide has been a challenge for researchers and industries focused on combating global warming Amir Barati Farimani(opens in new window) has been working to change that.

Machine-learning models bear the promise for discovering new chemical compounds or materials to fight against global warming, explained Barati Farimani, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering(opens in new window) at Carnegie Mellon University. Machine-learning models can achieve accurate and efficient virtual screening of CO2 storage candidates and may even generate preferable compounds that never existed before.

Barati Farimani has made a breakthrough using machine learning to identify ionic liquid molecules. Ionic liquids (ILs) are families of molten salt that remain in a liquid state at room temperature, have high chemical stability and high CO2 solubility, making them ideal candidates for CO2 storage. The combination of ions largely determines the properties of ILs. However, such combinatorial possibilities of cations and anions make it extremely challenging to exhaust the design space of ILs for efficient CO2 storage through conventional experiments.

Machine learning is often used in drug discovery to create so-called molecular fingerprints alongside graph neural networks (GNNs) that treat molecules as graphs and use a matrix to identify molecular bonds and related properties. For the first time, Barati Farimani has developed both fingerprint-based ML models and GNNs that are able to predict the CO2 absorption in ionic liquids.

Our GNN method achieves superior accuracy in predicting the CO2 solubility in ion liquids, Barati Farimani said. Unlike previous ML methods that rely on handcrafted features, GNN directly learns the features from molecular graphs.

Understanding how machine-learning models make decisions is just as important as the molecular properties it identifies. This explanation provides researchers with extra insight into how the structure of the molecule affects the property of ionic liquids from a data-driven perspective. For example, Barati Farmimanis team found that molecular fragments that physically interact with CO2 are less important than those that have a chemical interaction. Additionally, those with less hydrogen connected to nitrogen could be more favorable in formalizing a stable chemical interaction with CO2.

These findings will enable researchers to advise on the design of novel and efficient ionic liquids for CO2 storage in the future.
