Uncovering functional deterioration in the rhizosphere microbiome associated with post-green revolution wheat cultivars by Monique E. Smith, Vanessa N. Kavamura, David Hughes, Rodrigo Mendes, George Lund, Ian Clark, Tim H. Mauchline

“…Of the 113 functional genes that were differentially abundant between heritage and modern cultivars, 95% were depleted in modern cultivars and 65% of differentially abundant reads best mapped to genes involved in staurosporine biosynthesis (antibiotic product), plant cell wall degradation (microbial mediation of plant root architecture, overwintering energy source for microbes) and sphingolipid metabolism (signal bioactive molecules). …”

Antimicrobial Activity of Chitosan from Different Sources Against Non-<i>Saccharomyces</i> Wine Yeasts as a Tool for Producing Low-Sulphite Wine by Francesco Tedesco, Rocchina Pietrafesa, Gabriella Siesto, Carmen Scieuzo, Rosanna Salvia, Patrizia Falabella, Angela Capece

“…Finally, the efficiency of different antimicrobial treatments was evaluated during laboratory-scale fermentations inoculated with a selected <i>S. cerevisiae</i> strain. The tested strains exhibited medium/high resistance to the chitosan; in some cases, the behaviour varied in the function of species/strain, and only four strains exhibited different resistance levels, depending on the chitosan source. …”

DECISION TREE WITH HILL CLIMBING ALGORITHM BASED SPECTRUM HOLE DETECTION IN COGNITIVE RADIO NETWORK by N Suganthi, R Meenakshi, A Sairam, M Parvathi

“…The approach integrates a Decision Tree (DT) algorithm for rapid initial classification of Primary User (PU) activity, followed by a Hill Climbing (HC) optimization algorithm that fine-tunes the detection based on a fitness function. Entropy and throughput metrics are employed as decision conditions at each sensing channel, enhancing uncertainty measurement and maintaining detection robustness under low Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) conditions. …”

YOLOv8n-DDSW: an efficient fish target detection network for dense underwater scenes by Jinwang Yi, Wei Han, Fangfei Lai

“…Therefore, the YOLOv8n-DDSW fish target detection algorithm was proposed in this article to resolve the detection difficulties resulting from fish occlusion, deformation and detail loss in complex intensive aquaculture scenarios. (1) The C2f-deformable convolutional network (DCN) module is proposed to take the place of the C2f module in the YOLOv8n backbone to raise the detection accuracy of irregular fish targets. (2) The dual-pooling squeeze-and-excitation (DPSE) attention mechanism is put forward and integrated into the YOLOv8n neck network to reinforce the features of the visible parts of the occluded fish target. (3) Small detection is introduced to make the network more capable of sensing small targets and improving recall. (4) Wise intersection over union (IOU) rather than the original loss function is used for improving the bounding box regression performance of the network. …”
