Newest firstThis work presents the use of an unmodified fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) electrode as an electrochemical sensor for the stable and highly reproducible detection of cannabidiol (CBD) in an oral pharmaceutical formulation (CBD-OS). This was achieved using an electrochemical methodology with 0.1 M LiClO4 in acetonitrile as the electrolyte medium. The oxidation process of CBD on the FTO was extensively studied using…
Open article record in new tab ↗Classroom behavior can effectively reflect learning states, and thus classroom behavior detection is crucial for improving teaching methods and enhancing teaching quality. To address issues such as severe occlusions and large scale variations in student behavior detection, this paper proposes a classroom behavior detection model, named YOLO-CBD (YOLOv10s Classroom Behavior Detection). Firstly, BiFormer attention i…
Open article record in new tab ↗Coffee berry disease (CBD), caused by Colletotrichum kahawae, significantly threatens global Coffee arabica production, leading to major yield losses. Traditional detection methods are often subjective and inefficient, particularly in resource-limited settings. While deep learning has advanced plant disease detection, most existing research targets leaf diseases, with limited focus on berry-specific infections lik…
Open article record in new tab ↗Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) are increasingly important in Industry 4.0 intralogistics but creating path planning systems that adapt to dynamic and uncertain Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS), especially managing conflicts among multiple AMRs with a need for scalable decentralised solutions, remains a significant challenge. This research introduces a dynamic path planning system for AMRs designed for reactiv…
Open article record in new tab ↗The rapid detection of 11-nor-9-carboxy-delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC-COOH), a primary cannabis metabolite, is critical for forensic and workplace drug testing. However, conventional immunoassays often lack sensitivity and objectivity. We developed a portable lateral flow immunoassay device with a microfluidic cartridge and fluorescent reader for the semi-quantitative detection of THC-COOH in urine. A test-to-…
Climate change is driving urgent demand for resilient crop varieties capable of withstanding extreme and changing conditions. Identifying resilient varieties requires systematic plant phenotyping research under controlled conditions, where dynamic environmental impacts can be studied. Current growth cabinets (GC) provide this capability but remain limited by high costs, static environments, and scalability. These…
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based imagery has become widely used to collect time-series agronomic data, which are then incorporated into plant breeding programs to enhance crop improvements. To make efficient analysis possible, in this study, by leveraging an aerial photography dataset for a field trial of 233 different inbred lines from the maize diversity panel, we developed machine learning methods for obtain…
Cannabis is cultivated for therapeutic and recreational purposes where delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is a main target for its therapeutic effects. As the global cannabis industry and research into cannabinoids expands, more efficient and cost-effective analysis methods for determining cannabinoid concentrations will be beneficial to increase efficiencies and maximize productivity. The utilization of machine l…
Motion object detection (MOD) with freely moving cameras is a challenging task in computer vision. To extract moving objects, most studies have focused on the difference in motion features between foreground and background, which works well for dynamic scenes with relatively regular movements and variations. However, abrupt illumination changes and occlusions often occur in real-world scenes, and the camera may al…
Open article record in new tab ↗The distribution of wireless network systems challenges the communication security of Internet of Things (IoT), and the IPv6 protocol is gradually becoming the main communication protocol under the IoT. The Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP), as the base protocol of IPv6, includes address resolution, DAD, route redirection and other functions. The NDP protocol faces many attacks, such as DDoS attacks, MITM attacks,…
Open article record in new tab ↗The limitation of indoor visible light coverage and the attenuation of its signal when propagating in line-of-sight has seriously affected the stable communication of receiving devices when users move randomly and also aggravated the power consumption of visible light networking systems. According to the above situation, on the basis of the heterogeneous networking of visible light communication (VLC) and RF commu…
Cannabis is commercially cultivated for both therapeutic and recreational purposes in a growing number of jurisdictions. The main cannabinoids of interest are cannabidiol (CBD) and delta-9 tetrahydrocannabidiol (THC), which have applications in different therapeutic treatments. The rapid, nondestructive determination of cannabinoid levels has been achieved using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy coupled to high-qua…
Available wearable dosimeters suffer from spectral mismatch during the measurement of broadband UV and visible radiation in environments that receive radiation from multiple sources emitting differing spectra. We observed this type of multi-spectra environment in all five Washington State cannabis farms visited during a field study investigating worker exposure to ultraviolet radiation in 2018. Spectroradiometers…
Open article record in new tab ↗COVID-19 is highly contagious, and proper wearing of a mask can hinder the spread of the virus. However, complex factors in natural scenes, including occlusion, dense, and small-scale targets, frequently lead to target misdetection and missed detection. To address these issues, this paper proposes a YOLOv5-based mask-wearing detection algorithm, YOLOv5-CBD. Firstly, the Coordinate Attention mechanism is introduced…
Open article record in new tab ↗In the process of semantic capture, traditional sentence representation methods tend to lose a lot of global and contextual semantics and ignore the internal structure information of words in sentences. To address these limitations, we propose a sentence representation method for character-assisted construction-Bert (CharAs-CBert) to improve the accuracy of sentiment text classification. First, based on the constr…
Open article record in new tab ↗The most common oral cancer is squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and its highest occurrence is in the tongue. Almost 30% of patients with one primary head and neck tumor will have a second primary malignancy. In recent studies, two novel plant extracts, andrographolide and cannabidiol (CBD), have been exploited for their anticancer effects. Here, we investigated the cytotoxic effects of these two compounds on SCC-25 c…
One of the major issues in microfluidic biosensors is biolayer deposition. Typical manufacturing processes, such as firing of ceramics and anodic bonding of silicon and glass, involve exposure to high temperatures, which any biomaterial is very vulnerable to. Therefore, current methods are based on deposition from liquid, for example, chemical bath deposition (CBD) and electrodeposition (ED). However, such approac…
Open article record in new tab ↗Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are composed of software and hardware components. Many such systems (e.g., IoT based systems) are created by composing existing systems together. Some of these systems are of critical nature, e.g., emergency or disaster management systems. In general, component-based development (CBD) is a useful approach for constructing systems by composing pre-built and tested components. However, f…
The expedient way for the development of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) based devices are based on two key steps. First, perform the simulation for the optimization of various parameters by using different simulation tools that lead to cost reduction. Second, develop the devices with accurate fabrication steps using optimized parameters. Here, authors have performed a piezoelectric analysis of an array of z…
Open article record in new tab ↗This paper presents a highly sensitive flexural plate-wave (FPW)-based microsystem for rapid detection of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in human urine. First, a circular-type interdigital transducer (IDT) was integrated with a circular-type silicon-grooved reflective grating structure (RGS) to reduce insertion loss. Then, with lower insertion loss (-38.758 dB), the FPW device was used to develop a novel THC biosensor…
