An enhanced lightweight model for apple leaf disease detection in complex orchard environments by Ge Wang, Wenjie Sang, Fangqian Xu, Yuteng Gao, Yue Han, Qiang Liu

“…However, in complex natural environments, factors such as light variations, shading from branches and leaves, and overlapping disease spots often result in reduced accuracy in detecting apple diseases. To address the challenges of detecting small-target diseases on apple leaves in complex backgrounds and difficulty in mobile deployment, we propose an enhanced lightweight model, ELM-YOLOv8n.To mitigate the high consumption of computational resources in real-time deployment of existing models, we integrate the Fasternet Block into the C2f of the backbone network and neck network, effectively reducing the parameter count and the computational load of the model. …”

Quantifying Truthfulness: A Probabilistic Framework for Atomic Claim-Based Misinformation Detection by Fahim Sufi, Musleh Alsulami

“…This paper addresses this gap by proposing a novel probabilistic framework that decomposes complex assertions into semantically atomic claims and computes their veracity through a structured evaluation of source credibility and evidence frequency. Each atomic unit is matched against a curated corpus of 11,928 cyber-related news entries using a binary alignment function, and its truthfulness is quantified via a composite score integrating both source reliability and support density. …”

Near-source wastewater surveillance of SARS-CoV-2, norovirus, influenza virus and RSV across five different sites in the UK. by Jay C Bullen, Mina Mohaghegh, Fatima Tahir, Charlotte Hammer, Jacob Sims, Frederico Myers, Lucas Eisinger, Ali Reza Kasmati, Claire F Trant

“…The key findings are (1) near-source wastewater detections were linked to local events (staff sickness, enhanced cleaning, changing populations); (2) wastewater detections decreased in the order norovirus GII > norovirus GI > SARS-CoV-2 ≈ influenza A ≈ RSV A > influenza B ≈ RSV B; (3) correlation between near-source wastewater data and national surveillance data increases as a function of catchment size and viral prevalence (examples include the SARS-CoV-2 BA.4/BA.5 variant peak at a museum and wastewater tracking the winter norovirus season); (4) strong weekday periodicity in near-source wastewater SARS-CoV-2 detections, with the correlation against COVID-19 case numbers increasing when modelling variable lag times between faecal shedding onset and clinical diagnosis (R2 = 0.45 increases to 0.84-0.86); (5) a log-linear relationship between the frequency of wastewater SARS-CoV-2 detection and log(catchment size⋅viral prevalence) (R2 = 0.6914-0.9066). …”
