Generalizable semi-supervised learning method to estimate mass from sparsely annotated images [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Mass flow estimation is of great importance to several industries, and it can be quite challenging to obtain accurate estimates due to limitation in expense or general infeasibility. In the context of agricultural applications, yield monitoring is a key component to precision agriculture and mass flow is the critical factor to measure.

Chitosan‐Graft‐Gelatin Hydrogel Containing Bromothymol Blue as a Food Spoilage Indicator for Intelligent Food Packaging

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 12, Issue 9, May 5, 2025.
A chitosan‐graft‐gelatin hydrogel, incorporating a pH‐responsive dye, bromothymol blue, as a colorimetric freshness indicator is introduced to monitor the spoilage of chicken breasts. The hydrogel indicates microbial activity, and the production of carbon dioxide due to deteriorating food freshness via a change in pH, and serves as a smart and visual ...

Cluster and principal component analyses for assessment of genetic diversity in Saccharum spontaneum

Journal of Sugarcane Research, 2023
Forty three Saccharum spontaneum accessions were evaluated using eighteen drought tolerance related traits. The Euclidean based dendrogram divided the accessions into three different clusters. Euclidean distances ranged from 7.65 to 140.23.

Transforming Agricultural Food Waste Into Bioplastics: Methods, Potential, and Technological Advances

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2025.
The transformation of agricultural food waste (AFW) into bioplastics, emphasizing sustainable production methods and advancements is explored here. It evaluates AFW's potential as a renewable feedstock for biopolymers production such as polylactic acid and polyhydroxyalkanoates, focusing on pretreatment techniques and scalable technologies.

Enhanced sugar accumulation and regulated plant hormone signalling genes contribute to cold tolerance in hypoploid Saccharum spontaneum

BMC Genomics, 2020
Background Wild sugarcane Saccharum spontaneum plants vary in ploidy, which complicates the utilization of its germplasm in sugarcane breeding. Investigations on cold tolerance in relation to different ploidies in S.

Time-Frequency Dynamics of Biofuels-Fuels-Food System [PDF]

Energy Economics 40, pp. 233-241, 2013, 2012
For the first time, we apply the wavelet coherence methodology on biofuels (ethanol and biodiesel) and a wide range of related commodities (gasoline, diesel, crude oil, corn, wheat, soybeans, sugarcane and rapeseed oil). This way, we are able to investigate dynamics of correlations in time and across scales (frequencies) with a model-free approach.
