This study proposes a robust, real-time deep learning framework that integrates a ViT-CBAM architecture with MSRCR illumination normalization and multi-space color feature engineering to achieve high-accuracy, automated recognition of tobacco leaf maturity for precision agriculture.
This mixed-methods study identifies key barriers to household food security for subsistence farmers in Mamokgadi Village, South Africa—including limited market access, financial constraints, water scarcity, and climate change—and recommends policy interventions such as drought-resistant crops, water conservation, and climate education to enhance resilience.
This study proposes a three-stage "Value Ladder" model—comprising Restoration, Upgrading, and Co-creation—to guide resource-constrained bio-based SMEs in progressively developing circular capabilities and transforming waste streams into value-generating assets through an evolutionary capability-building process.
This paper reports a rare case of a fetal pig with a Bochdalek hernia accompanied by multiple severe malformations, including pulmonary hypoplasia, a horseshoe kidney, and cryptorchidism, presenting a complex phenotype analogous to human Fryns syndrome.
This study evaluated six groundnut genotypes stored under ambient conditions to identify those with superior biochemical stability and pigment retention, highlighting specific varieties like K-6 and Dharani as promising candidates for improving post-harvest quality in semi-arid tropical environments.
This study presents a reproducible and interpretable workflow for small-sample leaf hyperspectral phenotyping that combines hierarchical validation, two-stage band selection, and optimized tabular deep learning to achieve robust SPAD-based chlorophyll prediction in oats while clarifying the operational boundaries of cross-stage transferability.
This study evaluates the storm resilience and ecological performance of modular floating mats cultivating common rush and switchgrass over six months, demonstrating high plant survival rates, effective nutrient and heavy metal removal, and the successful conversion of harvested biomass into valuable biochar and bio-oil through pyrolysis.
This study establishes an efficient micropropagation protocol for the endangered medicinal plant *Ferula assa-foetida* by demonstrating that root-derived calli induced with 0.5 mg/L BAP and 0.5 mg/L TDZ can regenerate into healthy plantlets with over 85% survival after overcoming vitrification on a low-nitrogen medium.
Daily supplementation with a Lactobacillus postbiotic significantly reduced heart rate reactivity to acute stress, improved gut microbiome stability, and altered plasma metabolite levels in dogs, suggesting its potential efficacy in managing stress via the gut–brain axis.
Using a stochastic phenology model, this study assesses the potential northern range limit of the North American pest *Conotrachelus nenuphar* in Europe, finding that while central Europe is currently thermally suitable for its establishment, future climate projections suggest only limited expansion into northern regions without reaching the northernmost EU.
