Sensors, Vol. 22, Pages 4721: deepNIR: Datasets for Generating Synthetic NIR Images and Improved Fruit Detection System Using Deep Learning Techniques
cDonald This paper presents datasets utilised for synthetic near-infrared (NIR) image generation and bounding-box level fruit detection systems. A high-quality dataset is one of the essential building blocks that can lead to success in model generalisation and the deployment of data-driven deep neural networks. In particular, synthetic data generation tasks often require more training samples than other supervised approaches. Therefore, in this paper, we share the NIR+RGB datasets that are re-processed from two public datasets (i.e., nirscene and SEN12MS), expanded our previous study, deepFruits, and our novel NIR+RGB ...

Legacy of supervolcanic eruptions on population genetic structure of brown kiwi
Curr Biol. 2022 Jun 14:S0960-9822(22)00912-5. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2022.05.064. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSupervolcanoes are volcanoes capable of mega-colossal eruptions that emit more than 1,000 km3 of ash and other particles.1 The earth's most recent mega-colossal eruption was the Oruanui eruption of the Taupo supervolcano 25,580 years before present (YBP) on the central North Island of New Zealand.2 This eruption blanketed major swaths of the North Island in thick layers of ash and igneous rock,2,3 devastating habitats and likely causing widespread population extinctions.4-7 An additional devastating super-colossal er...

Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 3842: Hybrid Pd-Nanoparticles within Polymeric Network in Selective Hydrogenation of Alkynols: Influence of Support Porosity
i-Minsker This work is addressing the selective hydrogenation of alkynols over hybrid catalysts containing Pd-nanoparticles, within newly synthesized hyper-cross-linked polystyrenes (HPS). Alkynols containing C5, C10, and C20 with a terminal triple bond, which are structural analogues or direct semi-products of fragrant substances and fat-soluble vitamins, have been studied. Selective hydrogenation was carried out in a batch mode (ambient hydrogen pressure, at 90 &deg;C, in toluene solvent), using hybrid Pd catalysts with low metal content (less than 0.2 wt.%). The microporous and mesoporous HPS were both synth...

Can in-store interventions reduce the socioeconomic gap in fruit and vegetable purchases in grocery stores? A descriptive study of volume sales from 2012 to 2020 in Norway's largest grocery store chain
This study describes how the supermarket chain Kiwi used a combination of in-store interventions to increase annual sales of FVs between 2012 and 2020. In particular, this study examined how sales developed in counties with different demographic characteristics (e.g., education, income, overweight and obesity, and self-reported FVs consumption level) in order to evaluate whether the effect differs between different populations. The primary outcome measurement was annual volume sales, adjusted for new stores opening and closing during the study period, also called like-for-like sales. The study has used a descriptive study ...

Response of Soil Microbial Community Structure Mediated by Sulfur-Induced Resistance Against Kiwifruit Bacterial Canker
In this study, the sulfur powder and organic fertilizer were mixed as base fertilizer to treat the soil in the area where kiwifruit bacterial canker occurs. We investigated the incidence of kiwifruit bacterial canker in 2018 and 2019 after sulfur application and the changes in microbial characteristics and community composition structure in the kiwifruit rhizosphere by using the plate-counting method and high-throughput sequencing technology. Fertilization treatments of kiwifruit roots with sulfur and organic fertilizer reduced kiwifruit bacterial canker severity. The diversity of soil microbial communities increased signi...

Estimation of the water footprint of kiwifruit: in the areas transferred from hazelnut to kiwi
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2022 May 27. doi: 10.1007/s11356-022-21050-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAgriculture is the largest consumer of freshwater and plays a critical role in addressing global water scarcity. While numerous studies have focused on the water footprint (WF) of various agricultural products, little attention has been paid to changing cropping patterns and their impact on WF. Here, we investigate the impact of conversion from hazelnut fields to kiwi orchards on green, blue, and gray WF between 2010 and 2021 in Ordu, Turkey. Our results show a total increase of 803,901 tons WF for all green, blue, and g...

Genomic characterization of two nickie-like bacteriophages that infect the kiwifruit canker phytopathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae
AbstractHere, we report the genomic characterization of two siphophages, named hairong and ZY21, that infect the kiwifruit canker phytopathogenPseudomonas syringae pv.actinidiae. The genome sequences of hairong (112,842 bp) and ZY21 (112,006 bp) were determined. Global sequence comparison showed that hairong, ZY21, and two phages of the genusNickievirus (nickie and psageB1) are similar but are not closely related to any other known phage, and they comprise a unique phylogenetic cluster. Moreover, hairong represents a new genus related toNickievirus. Comparative genomic analysis revealed some common features shared by ...

Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 3190: Statistical FT-IR Spectroscopy for the Characterization of 17 Vegetable Oils
č Vegetable oils have been utilized for centuries in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries, and they contribute beneficially to overall human health, to active skincare, and to effective treatments. Monitoring of the vegetable oils is carried out by the methods described in the European Pharmacopeia, which is time-consuming, has poor repeatability, and involves the use of toxic organic chemicals and expensive laboratory equipment. Many successful studies using IR spectroscopy have been carried out for the detection of geographical origin and adulteration as well as quantification of oxidation parameters. T...
