Seed coat fragments, a major source of cotton yarn imperfections [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
A method to differentiate cultivars depending on their SCFcontents on yarn was developped in CIRAD CA using a GGP Uster Eveness Tester. Results indicate a high SCF heritability,but fabrication of yam is too costly to be used for breeding programs.

Autonomous Machine Learning‐Based Classification and Arrangement of Submillimeter Objects Using a Capillary Force Gripper

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
This study presents an automated system integrating a capillary force gripper and machine learning‐based object detection for sorting and placing submillimeter objects. The system achieved stable and simultaneous manipulation of four object types, with an average task time of 86.0 seconds and a positioning error of 157 ± 84 µm, highlighting its ...

Host, vector, and parasite dynamics: exploring intrinsic and extrinsic factors shaping tick‐borne filarial nematode transmission

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tick‐borne filarial nematodes are a complex and understudied group of parasites that rely on ticks for transmission in vertebrates. This review examines how intrinsic and extrinsic factors may influence the successful transmission of filarial nematodes in tick vectors, drawing insights from extensively studied haematophagous dipteran vector ...

Independent evaluation of Wolbachia infected male mosquito releases for control of Aedes aegypti in Harris County, Texas, using a Bayesian abundance estimator.

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2022
Among disease vectors, Aedes aegypti (L.) (Diptera: Culicidae) is one of the most insidious species in the world. The disease burden created by this species has dramatically increased in the past 50 years, and during this time countries have relied on ...

Modulation of Negative Work Output from a Steering Muscle of the Blowfly Calliphora Vicina [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
Of the 17 muscles responsible for flight control in flies, only the first basalar muscle (b1) is known to fire an action potential each and every wing beat at a precise phase of the wing-beat period.

The inheritance of resistance to bacterial leaf spot of lettuce caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. vitians in three lettuce cultivars. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Lettuce yields can be reduced by the disease bacterial leaf spot (BLS) caused by the pathogen Xanthomonas campestris pv. vitians (Xcv) and host resistance is the most feasible method to reduce disease losses. The cultivars La Brillante, Pavane and Little

Consumer Acceptance of Enabling Agri‐Food Technologies for Sustainable Food Systems: Evidence From Italy

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transition toward more sustainable and innovative agricultural systems increasingly relies on the integration of digital and enabling technologies (KETs). Although the technical and productive aspects of these innovations have been widely investigated, consumer acceptance remains less understood, despite its key role in fostering their ...

Adjacent spillover efficacy of Wolbachia for control of dengue: emulation of a cluster randomised target trial

open access: yesBMC Medicine
Background Matings between male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes infected with wAlbB strain of Wolbachia and wild-type females yield non-viable eggs, thereby suppressing Ae. aegypti abundance in the field.
