weedNet: Dense Semantic Weed Classification Using Multispectral Images and MAV for Smart Farming [PDF]
Selective weed treatment is a critical step in autonomous crop management as related to crop health and yield. However, a key challenge is reliable, and accurate weed detection to minimize damage to surrounding plants. In this paper, we present an approach for dense semantic weed classification with multispectral images collected by a micro aerial ...

Chopped Sugar Beets for Growing and Finishing Cattle [PDF]
Crossbred steers (n=270; 645 lb, ± 3 lb) were used in a 2 × 3 factorial treatment design in a growing (54 d) and finishing study (130 d). Th e factors were 0 or 44% sugar beets (dry matter basis) in place of dry rolled corn, during the growing phase and ...

Understanding how foods and enteral feedings influence the gut microbiome
Abstract The gut microbiome supports both gut and overall health. Diet is known to be one of the driving factors that influences the gut microbiome. The foods we eat, the dietary and nondietary components they contain, various food consumption patterns, and the ratio of nutrients consumed have been shown to impact gut microbiome composition and ...

From Plants to Landmarks: Time-invariant Plant Localization that uses Deep Pose Regression in Agricultural Fields [PDF]
Agricultural robots are expected to increase yields in a sustainable way and automate precision tasks, such as weeding and plant monitoring. At the same time, they move in a continuously changing, semi-structured field environment, in which features can hardly be found and reproduced at a later time.

Synthesis, Structure, and Properties of Polyhydroxybutyrate Derived from Azotobacter Vinelandii N‐15
The bacterium Azotobacter vinelandii N15 synthesizes polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) from sugar production waste. The study reveals the molecular composition, crystallinity, and thermal behavior of the synthesized biopolymer. Mechanical tests demonstrated high tensile strength and relatively low elongation at break. These properties highlight PHB's potential
