基于深度学习的马铃薯叶片病害检测方法#br# #br#

植物病害对食品安全具有灾难性的影响,它可以直接导致农作物的质量和产量显著下降,因此对植物病害的早期鉴定非常重要。传统的农作物病害诊断需要非常高的专业知识,不仅费时费力,还效率低下。针对这些问题,利用深度学习的方法,以马铃薯叶片为研究样本,基于TensorFlow开发Faster R-CNN网络模型。采用本地增强的方式对带有早疫病、晚疫病和健康的马铃薯叶片进行图像扩充,应用COCO初始权重进行迁移学习,探究了数据类别对模型检测结果的影响。结果表明,随着训练数据类别的增多模型性能会有略微的降低。同时还训练YOLOv3,YOLOv4网络与该模型进行对比,测试结果表明,所提出的Fater R-CNN模型优于其他网络模型。经检测该模型最佳精度达到99.5%,该研究为马铃薯病害检测提供了技术支持。     

基于ResNet-CA的鱼群饱腹程度识别方法

投喂作为水产养殖过程中的一个关键环节,饵料的投喂量直接影响水产品的质量和养殖成本。然而,目前的投喂方法包括人工投喂和机器定时定量投喂,大多依靠人工经验,很难实现精准投喂。本文基于改进的ResNet34识别鱼群不同的饱腹程度。根据鱼群在不同饱腹阶段表现的摄食行为创建了含有5种不同饱腹程度的数据集,并采用数据增强操作对图像进行预处理。其次在原始模型ResNet34的基础上,本文提出使用坐标注意力机制,使模型在对图像进行特征提取的过程中能够做到专注于更大区域范围。并且使用深度可分离卷积的方式来代替传统卷积,减少模型参数量。为了评估改进的有效性,分析了改进后的模型在鱼群饱腹程度数据集上的性能,并将其与原模型ResNet34、AlexNet、VGG16、MobileNet-v2、GoogLeNet等经典卷积神经网络架构进行比较。综合实验结果表明,该模型相较于原模型参数量减少46.7%,准确率达到93.4%,相较于原模型提升3.4个百分点,同时改进后的模型在准确率、精确度、召回率等方面也都优于其他卷积神经网络。综上所述,本模型实现了性能与参数量之间的良好平衡,为后续模型在实际养殖环境中的部署并指导养殖户改善和制定投喂策略提供了可能。     

The importance of safety signals in animal handling and training

This review considers the importance of safety for various species of domestic animals and explains how the need for safety may motivate them to offer a variety of unwelcome responses. We argue that the value of safety to animals is often overlooked by trainers and handlers. As a result, animal owners, handlers, trainers, and veterinarians are regularly injured, and training may fail. Reinforced responses that increase the animal's perceived sense of safety but simultaneously endanger the safety of handlers or trainers may lead to the inadvertent training of dangerous responses. This review offers suggestions about how safety can be used effectively and humanely as a resource in operant training. Training calmness in the presence of a specific stimulus that is associated with safety may deserve closer attention. The ethics of creating the need for safety in domestic animals as part of a training regime are discussed. It emerges that the highly prized attribute of so-called trust in animal–trainer dyads may, at least sometimes, be a manifestation of trainers acting as safety signals. Similarly, animals said to have confidence in and regard for their handlers may value the relative safety they afford.

A Cathepsin B Inhibitor,E-64, Improves the Preimplantation Development of Bovine Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer Embryos

Bovine somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is an important and powerful tool for basic research and biomedical and agricultural applications, however, the efficiency of SCNT has remained extremely low. In this study, we investigated the effects of cathepsin B inhibitor (E-64) supplementation of culture medium on in vitro development of bovine SCNT embryos. We initially used three concentrations of E-64 (0.1, 0.5, 1.0 μm), among which 0.5 μm resulted in the highest rate of blastocysts production after in vitro fertilization (IVF), and was therefore used for further experiments. Blastocyst development of SCNT embryos in the E-64 treatment group also increased relative to the control. Moreover, the cryosurvival rates of IVF and SCNT blastocysts were increased in E-64 treatment groups when compared with the control. On the other hand, we found that IVF and SCNT blastocysts derived from E-64-treated groups had increased total cell numbers and decreased apoptotic nuclei. Furthermore, assessment of the expression of apoptosis-related genes (Bax and Bcl-xL) in bovine IVF and SCNT blastocysts treated with E-64 by real-time RT-PCR analysis revealed suppressed expression of the pro-apoptotic gene Bax and stimulated expression of the anti-apoptotic gene Bcl-xL. Taken together, these finding indicate that addition of E-64 to embryo culture medium may have important implications for improving developmental competence and preimplantation quality in bovine IVF and SCNT embryos.     

Use of Fourier‐Transform Infrared Spectroscopy to Quantify Immunoglobulin G Concentrations in Alpaca Serum

Background

Rapid, economical, and quantitative assays for measurement of camelid serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) are limited. In camelids, failure of transfer of maternal immunoglobulins has a reported prevalence of up to 20.5%. An accurate method for quantifying serum IgG concentrations is required.

Objective

To develop an infrared spectroscopy‐based assay for measurement of alpaca serum IgG and compare its performance to the reference standard radial immunodiffusion (RID) assay.

Animals

One hundred and seventy‐five privately owned, healthy alpacas.

Methods

Eighty‐two serum samples were collected as convenience samples during routine herd visits whereas 93 samples were recruited from a separate study. Serum IgG concentrations were determined by RID assays and midinfrared spectra were collected for each sample. Fifty samples were set aside as the test set and the remaining 125 training samples were employed to build a calibration model using partial least squares (PLS) regression with Monte Carlo cross validation to determine the optimum number of PLS factors. The predictive performance of the calibration model was evaluated by the test set.

Results

Correlation coefficients for the IR‐based assay were 0.93 and 0.87, respectively, for the entire data set and test set. Sensitivity in the diagnosis of failure of transfer of passive immunity (FTPI) ([IgG] <1,000 mg/dL) was 71.4% and specificity was 100% for the IR‐based method (test set) as gauged relative to the RID reference method assay.

Conclusions and Clinical Importance

This study indicated that infrared spectroscopy, in combination with chemometrics, is an effective method for measurement of IgG in alpaca serum.
