FloPE: Flower Pose Estimation for Precision Pollination [PDF]

arXiv
This study presents Flower Pose Estimation (FloPE), a real-time flower pose estimation framework for computationally constrained robotic pollination systems. Robotic pollination has been proposed to supplement natural pollination to ensure global food security due to the decreased population of natural pollinators.

Evaluating Self-Pollination Methods: Their Impact on Nut Set and Nutlet Abscission in Macadamia

Plants
Nut set is an important determinant of yield and plays a pivotal role in orchard profitability. The complex process of nut setting is governed by numerous factors, with pollination being a critical mechanism.

Design of an Autonomous Precision Pollination Robot [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Precision robotic pollination systems can not only fill the gap of declining natural pollinators, but can also surpass them in efficiency and uniformity, helping to feed the fast-growing human population on Earth. This paper presents the design and ongoing development of an autonomous robot named "BrambleBee", which aims at pollinating bramble plants ...

Archetypes of the Implementation of Ecosystem Service Approaches in Business Organisations: A Meta‐Analysis

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Humanity is dependent on ecosystems and the services they provide, yet unprecedented biodiversity decline continues. Ecosystem service (ES) and natural capital approaches offer a promising framing of the relationship between organisations and ecosystems, although not enough literature exists on their implementation and implications.

Floral biology and pollination in Brazil: history and possibilities

Acta Botânica Brasílica
Pollination research in Brazil virtually started with Fritz Muller, whose insights supported Darwin's evolutionary theory. Pollination systems of Brazilian plants were studied mainly by travelling researchers until early last century when native or ...

Green Propolis Extract‐Mediated Synthesis of Biogenic Silver Nanoparticles: In Vitro Antileishmanial and Antibacterial Activities, Cytotoxicity and Ex Vivo Irritation Testing

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study describes the green synthesis, characterization, and biological evaluation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) obtained from green propolis (AgNPs‐PRO). Before nanoparticles synthesis, a hydroethanolic green propolis extract (GPE) was obtained through ultrasound‐assisted extraction and characterized by high‐performance liquid ...

Dynamic Solution Probability Acceptance within the Flower Pollination Algorithm for t-way Test Suite Generation [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA) is the new breed of metaheuristic for the general optimization problem. In this paper, an improved algorithm based on Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA), called imFPA, has been proposed. In imFPA, the static selection probability is replaced by the dynamic solution selection probability in order to enhance the ...

Chemical Characterization, Antioxidant, and Anticholinesterase Activities of Libidibia ferrea (Mart. Ex Tul.) L.P.Queiroz and In Silico Studies with the Acetylcholinesterase Enzyme

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Libidibia ferrea is used in many parts of Brazil for a variety of conditions, such as inflammation, respiratory disorders, muscle pain, and gastrointestinal problems. This study evaluated the chemistry and antioxidant and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activities of L. ferrea extracts. Hydroethanolic extracts of leaves (ELLF) and bark (
