background: olive ( olea europea ), from the oleaceae family, is known as a phytoestrogen plant compound, containing lignans and phenolic compounds. some studies have shown phytoestrogens to have spermatogenesis-decreasing effects. objective: the present study investigated the effects of a hydro-alcoholic extract of olive fruit on reproductive argons in male rats. materials and methods: the hyd...

Deep learning has shown much promise in target identification recent years, and it's becoming more popular agriculture, where fig fruit detection counting have become important. In this study, a systematic literature review (SLR) is utilised to evaluate deep algorithm for detecting fruits. The SLR based on the widely used 'Reporting Standards Systematic Evidence Synthetics' (ROSES) process. stu...

background and objective: candidiasis is a common opportunistic infection in hiv-infected patients. the spectrum of candida infection is diverse, starting from asymptomatic colonization to pathogenicforms. the low absolute cd4+ t-lymphocyte count has traditionally been cited as the greatest risk factor for the development of oropharyngeal candidiasis and current guidelines suggest increased ris...

Work in robotic phenotyping requires computer vision methods that estimate the number of fruit or grains an image. To decide what to use, we compared three for counting grains, each method representative a class approaches from literature. These are two based on density estimation and regression (single multiple column), one object detection. We found when objects image is low, comparable, but ...

Background. Fresh vegetables such as tomato should have low microbial population for safe consumption and long storage life. The aerobic bacterial count (ABC) and coliform bacterial count (CBC), yeast, and mold population are the most widely used microbial indicators in fresh vegetables which should be lower than 4 log CFU g-1 for safe consumption. The stages of the supply chain, postharvest ha...

Abstract This study investigated the effects of seaweed extract (SWE) made from brown algae Durvillaea potatorum and Ascophyllum nodosum on plants soil. The application SWE to soil growing tomato showed dual effects. comprehensively improved plant growth (flower clusters, flower number, fruit root length, shoot dry weight, SPAD) increased productivity (yield quality). Similarly, effected biolog...

At present, the fruit picking in most countries still largely relies on manual operation. Manual fruit picking can protect the fruits from damage during the operation process. However, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and poses a potential safety risk to the workers while working at heights not reachable. Therefore, a variety of fruit picking machines and platforms have been developed ...
