Abstract:
... The structural defects and heteroatom dopants of carbonaceous materials play critical roles in their activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for organic pollutants’ removal. This study uses plasma-etching technology to control the levels of structural defects and nitrogen species in nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (N-CNTs) for excellent PMS activation. The vacancy defects, CO, pyrrolic N and graphit ...

Abstract:
... There has been an increasing demand for the rapid verification of fish authenticity and the detection of adulteration. In this work, we combined LIBS and Raman spectroscopy for the fish species identification for the first time. Two machine learning methods of SVM and CNN are used to establish the classification models based on the LIBS and Raman data obtained from 13 types of fish species. Data f ...

Abstract:
... Thrips (Thysanoptera) are the most prevalent early season pests of cotton and are often detrimental to the establishing crop. Heavy reliance on prophylactic insecticides, primarily used as seed treatments, has led to insecticide resistance in populations of Frankliniella fusca Hinds. Sustainable, alternative management tactics are needed to protect seedling cotton from thrips. We evaluated day-neu ...
... The objective of this study was to verify the accuracy of tree species identification using deep learning with leaf images of broadleaf and coniferous trees in outdoor photographs. For each of 12 broadleaf and eight coniferous tree species, we acquired 300 photographs of leaves and used those to produce 72,000 256 × 256-pixel images. We used Caffe as the deep learning framework and AlexNet and Goo ...
... AbstractThis works presents information on the diversity of the Tabanidae of Honduras as a product of the examination of 386 specimens and a literature review. Thirteen species and two genera (Bolbodimyia and Dasychela) are recorded from the country for the first time. Eighty-five species distributed in 22 genera, five tribes, and three subfamilies are now known from Honduras. A key to the subfam ...
speciesidentification, etc ; Thalictrum; chemotaxonomy; ecology; phytochemicals; Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... Phytochemical investigation on the whole herbs of Thalictrum foliolosum DC. (Ranunculaceae) led to the isolation of eighteen compounds, including nine isoquinoline alkaloids (1–9) and nine nonalkaloidal constituents (10–18). Among them, compounds 11–14 and 16–18 have not been previously isolated from this genus, while compounds 1, 7, 10, and 15 have not been previously found in this species. The c ...
speciesidentification, etc ; Internet; remote sensing; streams; India; Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... This study focuses on the comparison of machine learning algorithms for classifying the mangrove species of Malad creek, Mumbai, India using pixel-based and object-based approaches. As mangrove forests are complex in structure and require high resolution remotely sensed images for classifying them at the species level, traditional classification methods of remote sensing may not be suitable. In or ...
speciesidentification, etc ; cameras; glass; mammalogy; small mammals; Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... Detection of small mammals and reptiles using camera traps can be imperfect, and for some species it is almost impossible to confirm species identification using monochrome images because the animals are not sharply focused or distinguishing features cannot be deciphered. We have proof-of-concept evidence that generic reading glass lenses can be used to reduce the focal distance between camera tra ...
... Tapeworms are infamous and highly successful invasive parasites in aquatic animals, especially in fish. However, tapeworm-caused diseases in soft-shelled turtles are rarely discovered. In this study, a case of cultured Chinese soft-shelled turtle (Pelodiscus sinensis) infected with tapeworm in Changde city of China was reported, and the taxonomic identification of the tapeworm and the effects of t ...

Abstract:
... Different species of bolete have different nutritional and medicinal value, which leads to the phenomenon of shoddy in the market from time to time. Therefore, consumers need a fast and effective detection method to identify their species. In this paper, different data pretreatment was carried out for the Fourier transform near infrared (FT-NIR) spectra, and the modeling results of partial least s ...

Abstract:
... The features of the coloration of the dorsal and ventral surfaces of the rare deep-sea Richardson’s ray Bathyraja richardsoni (Arhynchobatidae) in the length range from 14 to 146 cm have been studied and its ontogenetic changes have been traced. New data on the coloration of embryos, immature, maturing, and sexually mature individuals are presented. It is shown that variations in the coloration of ...

Abstract:
... Heriaeus buffoni (Audouin, 1826) is reported for the first time from the Canary Islands, where it was found on Lanzarote. This also represents the first record of the genus in the archipelago. All individuals were collected with pitfall traps installed in nitrophilous synanthropic shrub vegetation near urban areas. Species identification was based on male genitalia only as females were not sampled ...

Abstract:
... Blue foods contain high nutrients with multiple micronutrients, vitamins, and polyunsaturated fatty acids at a low cost of environmental burdens. The consumption and world trade of blue foods have been increasing in recent years. However, the quality evaluation, species identification, geographic discrimination, process monitoring, and safety issues are becoming concerns to customers, retailers, m ...

Abstract:
... Birds have been widely considered crucial indicators of biodiversity. It is essential to identify bird species precisely for biodiversity surveys. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, bird species identification has been facilitated by deep learning using audio samples. Prior studies mainly focused on identifying several bird species using deep learning or machine learning based ...

Abstract:
... The present study reports the species identification of Fusarium isolates infecting Durum wheat cultivated in Algeria. Characterization of isolates was initially carried out based on morphological criteria and further confirmed by molecular studies. Molecular identification was performed by PCR assays using species-specific primers. The results showed that more than 40% (3/7) of the isolates belon ...

Abstract:
... The genus Rosa comprises more than 150 species spread across three subgenera, Hesperhodos, Hulthemia, and Rosa, most of which have high economic and ecological values. Here, we report 31 complete plastomes that belong to the genus Rosa, with the aim of better understanding the evolution and divergence of genes of the plastome in this genus. A comparative analysis was conducted to characterize the ...

Abstract:
... Epimutations and mutations are two dissimilar mechanisms that have contributed to the phenotypic diversities in organisms. Though dissimilar, many previous studies have revealed that the consequences of epimutations and mutations are not mutually exclusive. DNA rich in epigenetic modifications can be prone to mutations and vice versa. In order to get a better insight into the molecular evolution i ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: The identification of tropical African wood species based on microscopic imagery is a challenging problem due to the heterogeneous nature of the composition of wood combined with the vast number of candidate species. Image classification methods that rely on machine learning can facilitate this identification, provided that sufficient training material is available. Despite the fact th ...
