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. …”

New Horizon in Selective Tocols Extraction from Deodorizer Distillates Under Mild Conditions by Using Deep Eutectic Solvents by Dian Maria Ulfa, Asep Bayu, Siti Irma Rahmawati, Peni Ahmadi, Masteria Yunovilsa Putra, Surachai Karnjanakom, Guoqing Guan, Abdul Mun’im

“…The basic principles of intermolecular interactions (H-bond, van der Walls bond, and misfit interaction) between DESs or their components with tocols are discussed to understand the mechanism by which DESs selectively extract tocols from the mixture. This is mainly observed to be a function of the intrinsic properties of DESs and/or tocols, which could be beneficial for tuning the appropriate DESs for extracting tocols selectively and effectively under mild operation conditions. …”
