A bio-inspired framework for apple leaf disease detection: Integrating lesion localization, ant colony optimization, and machine learning by Xiaolong Li, Feifan Huang, Haotian Sun, Jiayu He, Seyed Mohamad Javidan, Yiannis Ampatzidis, Zhao Zhang

“…Conventional diagnostic approaches, such as expert visual assessments and laboratory analyses, are often time-consuming, costly, and limited to post-symptomatic stages. To address the growing need for rapid, accurate, and scalable solutions in precision disease detection and management, this study presents a novel framework integrating image processing, artificial intelligence (AI), and ant colony optimization (ACO) for automated disease classification in apple leaves. …”

Transcriptional profiling of Chlamydia trachomatis and its host in an ex vivo endocervical primary cell culture system using dual RNA sequencing by Olusola Olagoke, Siddharth Chittaranjan, Deborah Dean, Deborah Dean, Deborah Dean, Deborah Dean, Deborah Dean

“…While transcriptional profiling of both Ct and host-derived immortalized cells has been performed, this study used dual RNA sequencing to examine host-pathogen interactions in ex vivo human primary endocervical stromal cells infected with Ct strain E/Bour. At 1-hour post-infection (1hpi), 168 differentially expressed host genes (DEGs) were identified, 40% of which were non-coding RNAs, novel proteins, or pseudogenes. …”

DESTRUCTION OF THE LITHOSPHERE: FAULTBLOCK DIVISIBILITY AND ITS TECTONOPHYSICAL REGULARITIES by Semen I. Sherman

“…Investigations of periodical processes specified in the geological records over the post-Proterozoic periods [Khain, Khalilov, 2009] suggest that in so far uninvestigated historical and more ancient times, the top of the lithosphere was subject to wave processes that  influenced the metastable state of the faultblock medium of the lithosphere.At the second scale-time level, the lithosphere is destructed in accordance with the laws of destruction of elastic and brittle bodies; at all hierarchical levels, the lithospheric destruction complies with the similarity patterns; the lithospheric destruction processes are characterized by fractality and take place synchronously with other destruction processes.Equations of the fault (7) and block divisibility (8) of the lithosphere and the generalized equation (9) of the faultblock divisibility of lithosphere are proposed.By the present stage of the geodynamic evolution of the Earth, the horizontally-layered zonal pattern of destruction of the Earth has been established (Fig. 15). …”
