DCTnet: a double-channel transformer network for peach disease detection using UAVs by Jie Zhang, Dailin Li, Xiaoping Shi, Fengxian Wang, Linwei Li, Yibin Chen

“…First, an Adaptive Dual-Channel Affine Transformer (ADCT) is developed to efficiently capture key information in images of diseased peaches by integrating features across spatial and channel dimensions within blocks. Next, a Robust Gated Feed Forward Network (RGFN) is constructed to extend the receptive field of the model by improving its context aggregation capabilities. …”

Dynamics of dormancy regulation in ‘Sonata’ strawberry and its relation to flowering and runnering by Anita Sønsteby, Ola M. Heide

“…Results SD induced constrained leaf and inflorescence growth at both 6 and 18 ℃, while the typical strawberry semi-dormant condition was attained only by exposure to SD at 18 ℃ for 10 weeks, which also completely blocked runner formation. The constrained leaf and inflorescence growth observed in plants grown in SD at 18 ℃ were partially reversed by 6 weeks of chilling and gradually overcome in successively emerging leaves. …”

Rapid Point-of-Care Influenza Testing for Patients in German Emergency Rooms – A Cost-Benefit Analysis by Roland Diel, Albert Nienhaus

“…The major part of the cost savings, €113.17 or 94.4%, was due to the POC test´s high specificity, which led to 91% reduction in needless bed-blocking on the first day of hospitalization. However, as the sensitivity of 75.3% was only slightly higher than that of conventional clinical judgement, improved classification of patients with true influenza and a correspondingly lower rate of illness in hospital employees could not be achieved. …”
