A scalable multi-modal learning fruit detection algorithm for dynamic environments by Liang Mao, Liang Mao, Zihao Guo, Mingzhe Liu, Yue Li, Linlin Wang, Jie Li

“…Additionally, the detection heads with resolutions of 80 × 80 pixels and 160 × 160 pixels are replaced by TSCD detection heads to enhance the model's ability to detect small targets. Subsequently, the positioning loss function is replaced with the EIoU loss function, and the confidence loss is substituted by VFLoss to further improve the accuracy of the detection bounding box and reduce the missed detection rate in occluded targets. …”

Analysis of the circadian rhythm of biological processes in mouse liver and kidney by I. N. Podkolodnyy, N. N. Tverdokhleb, O. A. Podkolodnaya

“…The greatest number of rhythmic genes in the liver has an increased level of translation at the beginning of the dark phase of the day corresponding to increased animal activity. In the kidneys, the differences in the distribution of the number of genes in the phase of an elevated translation level by the time of day were less pronounced, and the maximum number of such genes was observed from the middle of the light phase of the day to the middle of the dark one. …”
