Abstract: An optical fiber sensing method and sensing system for straightness of the scraper conveyor is provided.

Abstract: Disclosed is the use of Bifidobacterium lactis BL-99 in the protection of cartilage. Provided in the present invention is the use of Bifidobacterium lactis in the preparation of a composition for protecting cartilage, wherein the Bifidobacterium lactis is Bifidobacterium lactis with the deposit number of CGMCC No. 15650. The Bifidobacterium lactis can promote the development of cartilage, increase cartilage density, protect cartilage from damage, promote cartilage repair and/or ameliorate cartilage damage, and is beneficial to cartilage health.

Abstract: A whey protein composition includes a whey protein and ?-casein. The mass ratio of the ?-casein to the whey protein is not less than 4.5:95.5. The whey protein composition provided by the present invention is mainly composed of a particular whey protein ingredient that has a slower digestion characteristic than other whey proteins currently on the market. The whey protein composition is a ?-casein-riched whey protein concentrate to which micronized and complex natural polysaccharides can be added, and the function of delaying digestion to promote muscle synthesis and provide adequate nutrition can be achieved.

Abstract: A Bifidobacterium lactis BL-99 strain capable of enhancing immunity and the use thereof, which belongs to the technical field of microorganisms, is described. The Bifidobacterium lactis BL-99 provided by the present invention is deposited in China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center CGMCC on Apr. 26, 2018 with the deposit number CGMCC No. 15650. The bacteria have gastric acid resistance and intestinal fluid resistance, can significantly promote the growth of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, significantly increase antibody-producing cells and half hemolysis value HC50, activate NK cell activity, and can be used to prepare foods for immunity enhancement. It also has the effects in preventing osteoporosis, increasing blood calcium and/or phosphorus ions, which has a wide range of application prospects.
