In the agricultural sector, identifying plant diseases is crucial as they hamper plant's robustness and health, which play a vital role in productivity. Early detection allows farmers to take proper measurements save crops from complete failure. Biosensor applications production monitoring improve yield through definitive recommendations improved practices. Fluorescence-based assays, colorimetr...

Recent advances in computer vision have made possible the use of neural networks in large scale image retrieval tasks. An example application is the automated plant classification. However, training a network from scratch takes a lot of computational effort and turns out to be very time consuming. In this paper, we investigate a transfer learning approach in the context of the 2017 PlantCLEF ta...

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE SOURCE OF PROTEIN INTAKE AND OBESITY RISK IN CHILDREN by Grace Stuhrman Background: Previous research has reported a relationship between high protein intake (>15% of energy) during early childhood and an increased risk of obesity later in life. However, few studies have investigated this relationship during middle childhood to early adolescence or examined the effe...

Plants play an important role in human life and provide required information for the development of human society. The urgent situation is that due to environmental degradation and lack of awareness, many rare plant species are at the risk of extinction so it is necessary to keep record for plant protection. We believe that the first step is to buildup a database for protecting plants. So the n...
