An Improved CNN-based Neural Network Model for Fruit Sugar Level Detection [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is widely used in image classification, recognition, text understanding, and natural language processing, leading to significant advancements. In this paper, we introduce AI into the field of fruit quality detection. We designed a regression model for fruit sugar level estimation, utilizing an Artificial Neural Network (ANN)

Histone Deacetylase 6 Brain PET in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis‐Frontotemporal Spectrum Disorder

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective [18F]EKZ‐001 is a positron emission tomography (PET) tracer targeting histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6), an enzyme responsible for intracellular transport and clearance of misfolded proteins. HDAC6 modulation is a promising treatment strategy in neurodegenerative disorders, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Self-supervised Representation Learning for Reliable Robotic Monitoring of Fruit Anomalies [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Data augmentation can be a simple yet powerful tool for autonomous robots to fully utilise available data for selfsupervised identification of atypical scenes or objects. State-of-the-art augmentation methods arbitrarily embed "structural" peculiarity on typical images so that classifying these artefacts can provide guidance for learning ...

Companion planting to attract pollinators increases the yield and quality of strawberry fruit in gardens and allotments [PDF]

, 2020
1. Global pollinator declines have led to concern that crop yields might fall as a result of a pollination deficit. Companion planting is a traditional practice thought to increase yield of insect pollinated crops by planting a co-flowering species next ...

Material Composition Gradient Controls the Autonomous Opening of Banksia Seed Pods in Fire‐Prone Habitats

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The seed pod valves of Australian Banksia attenuata plants are not simply bi‐layers which bend when dry. These experiments and models reveal complex mechanics, which allow seed release only after several steps of seed pod opening. Stiffness gradients prevent delamination of the valves during loading, and a shape‐memory function protects the seeds ...

Molecular physiology of banana fruit ripening : improvement of fruit quality [PDF]

, 2008
It is now assumed that the quality of fruit is a complex trait in which a lot of mechanisms are involved, some of them being antagonistic. All of these mechanisms are the results the coercive action of differentially regulated genes.
