To Harvest or Not to Harvest: Mapping and Decision-Making for a Selective Table Grape Harvesting Robot

IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters
This letter focuses on robotic harvesting of delicate crops such as table grapes, featuring selective harvesting based on individual product properties. The robot detects grape bunches and estimates their positions and quality attributes. However, sensor limitations and occlusions affect data completeness and accuracy, reducing the cost-effectiveness ...

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Physiological and biochemical responses of harvested rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum L.) fruits to postharvest dip treatments during storage

Environment Conservation Journal, 2018
The effect of pretreatments on rambutan fruit (Nephelium lappaceum L.) browning properties during storage or shelf-life was determined. Water loss in rambutan fruits induces degradation of nutritional value and imposes stress that increases respiration ...

Advances in Non-Destructive Early Assessment of Fruit Ripeness towards Defining Optimal Time of Harvest and Yield Prediction—A Review

Plants, 2017
Global food security for the increasing world population not only requires increased sustainable production of food but a significant reduction in pre- and post-harvest waste.

Harvest-Then-Cooperate: Wireless-Powered Cooperative Communications [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, 2014
In this paper, we consider a wireless-powered cooperative communication network consisting of one hybrid access-point (AP), one source, and one relay. In contrast to conventional cooperative networks, the source and relay in the considered network have ...

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.
