This paper presents a retrievable cation-linked alginate ion-matrix that integrates contaminant absorption, enhanced Raman sensing, and magnetic recovery to enable closed-loop agricultural water management, simultaneously monitoring water quality, reducing plant toxicant uptake by 50%, and preserving crop health.
This paper proposes a lightweight deep learning framework based on an improved ShuffleNetV2 architecture, incorporating Ghost modules, Efficient Channel Attention, and HardSwish activation, which achieves high-accuracy maize pest and disease recognition (93.00%) with minimal computational cost (0.03 GFLOPs) and enables real-time deployment on resource-constrained edge devices like Raspberry Pi for sustainable agricultural monitoring.
This study demonstrates that while pre-immunized sows tolerate ASFV-G-ΔI177L booster vaccination during pregnancy without adverse effects, first-time vaccination of naïve sows during gestation poses severe risks including maternal illness, reproductive failure, and potential vertical transmission.
This study demonstrates that a safe, spilanthol-rich *Acmella oleracea* extract, when formulated into a stable nanoemulsion, exhibits significantly enhanced larvicidal activity against *Aedes aegypti* and *Tribolium castaneum* while maintaining low toxicity to non-target organisms, offering a promising eco-friendly alternative for pest control.
This study characterizes the susceptibility of two field pennycress accessions to *Alternaria japonica* and *Sclerotinia sclerotiorum* and demonstrates that an optimized qPCR-based assay provides sensitive, early-stage quantification of fungal biomass that surpasses the limitations of visual disease scoring.
Field trials in Uzbekistan demonstrate that applying humic-based biostimulants (Reflect and Geohumate) to cotton significantly enhances NPK concentrations in plant organs and increases yield and profitability under both specific irrigation regimes and reduced-fertilizer conditions, although the study's design limits the ability to isolate the specific contributions of the biostimulants from the fertilizer reduction effects.
This study developed and validated a highly specific, sensitive, and reproducible one-step multiplex PCR assay targeting distinct genes to enable the rapid simultaneous detection and differentiation of four major pathogenic *Clostridium* species in cattle and sheep, offering a reliable tool for clinical diagnosis and epidemiological investigation.
This study characterizes the microbial ecology of traditional Nipa vinegar production in Lingayen, Pangasinan, by documenting local practices and identifying eleven diverse bacterial taxa across production stages to establish a baseline for understanding product quality, spoilage, and sanitation.
This study analyzes the historical evolution and current governance challenges of Iceland's feral reindeer through institutional theory and stakeholder interviews, revealing conflicting priorities and institutional flaws that necessitate a new comprehensive management strategy to balance environmental, economic, and social sustainability.
This study elucidates how cut-specific physicochemical properties and precursor profiles dictate the texture, taste retention, and volatile flavor formation of five different hot-boned beef cuts during Cantonese-style hotpot boiling, revealing distinct quality determinants for sirloin, chuck flap, fore shank, hind shank, and topside.
