Monocular Camera Based Fruit Counting and Mapping with Semantic Data Association [PDF]
We present a cheap, lightweight, and fast fruit counting pipeline that uses a single monocular camera. Our pipeline that relies only on a monocular camera, achieves counting performance comparable to state-of-the-art fruit counting system that utilizes an expensive sensor suite including LiDAR and GPS/INS on a mango dataset.

Fruit Picker Activity Recognition with Wearable Sensors and Machine Learning [PDF]
In this paper we present a novel application of detecting fruit picker activities based on time series data generated from wearable sensors. During harvesting, fruit pickers pick fruit into wearable bags and empty these bags into harvesting bins located in the orchard.

Rhamnogalacturonase lyase gene downregulation in strawberry and its potential on mechanical fruit properties [PDF]
Strawberry softening is one of the main factors that reduces fruit quality and leads to economically important losses. Textural changes during fruit ripening are mainly due to the dissolution of middle lamellae, a reduction in cell-to-cell adhesion and ...

Advanced Oral Delivery Systems for Nutraceuticals
Emerging delivery technologies are explored to overcome barriers to oral nutraceutical absorption. Traditional carriers are compared with novel platforms including biodegradable polymers, MOFs, MPNs, and 3D printing. These systems enhance bioavailability, control release, and enable personalized nutrition.
