The gradual release of active substances from packaging can enhance food preservation by maintaining high concentrations of polyphenols and antioxidants for a period of 72 hrs. To assess the effectiveness of packaging materials that serve as carriers for antioxidants, it is crucial to model the diffusivity of the active agents. Understanding this diffusivity helps evaluate the packaging's capacity to prolong the shelf life of food items. The process of migration, which encompasses diffusion, dissolution, and reaching equilibrium, facilitates the transfer of low molecular weight compounds from the packaging into food simulants. The rate at which these active compounds are released from the packaging is typically analysed using food simulants under conditions outlined in European food packaging regulations (Ramos et al., 2014).

A collection of functions to implement a class for univariate
  polynomial manipulations.

Implements univariate polynomial operations in R, including
  polynomial arithmetic, finding zeros, plotting, and some operations on
  lists of polynomials.

Functions to perform paternity exclusion via allele
    matching, in autopolyploid species having ploidy 4, 6, or 8. The
    marker data used can be genotype data (copy numbers known) or
    'allelic phenotype data' (copy numbers not known).

Analyse prescription drug deliveries to calculate several indicators of polypharmacy corresponding to the various definitions found in the literature.
