Image processing and embedded systems are used in many applications such as object recognition, robotic applications, autonomous and remote control systems developed for the defense industry, medical applications, face recognition, and vehicle license plate recognition. Many vehicle license number plate detection methods are not effective under vehicle license plate images have a degree of rotation or low resolution images. Thus, we used MVSR normalization algorithm to detect vehicle license plate recognition for better accuracy and lower computational cost. The MVSR normalization algorithm, Mean–Variance-Softmax-Rescale processes respectively is applied for high-accuracy real-time vehicle license plate detection.

Strawberry fruits which are rich in vitamin A and carotenoids offer benefits for maintaining healthy epithelial tissues and promoting maturity and growth. The intensive cultivation and swift maturation of strawberries make them susceptible to premature harvesting, leading to spoilage and financial losses for farmers. This underscores the need for an automated detection method to monitor strawberry development and accurately identify growth phases of fruits. To address this challenge, a dataset called Strawberry-DS, comprising 247 images captured in a greenhouse at the Agricultural Research Center in Giza, Egypt, is utilized in this research. The images of the dataset encompass various viewpoints, including top and angled perspectives, and illustrate six distinct growth phases: "green", “red”, "white", "turning", "early-turning" and "late-turning". This study employs the Yolo-v7 approach for object detection, enabling the recognition and classification of strawberries in different growth phases. The achieved mAP@.5 values for the growth phases are as follows: 0.37 for "green," 0.335 for "white," 0.505 for "early-turning," 1.0 for "turning," 0.337 for "late-turning," and 0.804 for "red". The comprehensive performance outcomes across all classes are as follows: precision at 0.792, recall at 0.575, mAP@.5 at 0.558, and mAP@.5:.95 at 0.46. Notably, these results show the efficacy of the proposed research, both in terms of performance evaluation and visual assessment, even when dealing with distracting scenarios involving imbalanced label distributions and unclear labeling of developmental phases of the fruits.

The Brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB) [Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae)] is a polyphagous pest causing significant damage to approximately 300 crops, such as nuts, vegetables, and ornamentals. In 2017, the BMSB was discovered for the first time in Türkiye. There is currently no published data available on the biology of the pest in Türkiye. This preliminary study was carried out in Sakarya province, where the BMSB has observed a low population since 2021. In this study, some biological parameters such as voltinism, mortality rates, egg hatching rates, and egg-adult developmental times of the 1st and 2nd generations of the insect populations were determined. The study was carried out under semi-field conditions and laboratory. Considering the BMSB's minimum temperature threshold, which has yet to be determined in Turkey, the accumulation of degree days was calculated using the references to four possible thresholds (DD12, 12.5, 13, 13.5) and was determined to be between 536.91 - 608.69 DD. The average egg-adult developmental time was 47.85 days for the 1st generation at naturally fluctuating temperatures and 47.13 days for the 2nd generation under laboratory conditions at 25 ֯C. The hatching rate of egg masses was determined to 90.63% in the 1st generation and 57.75% in the 2nd generation. Total mortality in the first generation was 22.97% and 90.24% in the second generation. It was revealed that the insect could produce two generations in Türkiye, but the number of egg-producing adults and eggs laid in the second generation was significantly lower than that in the first. This preliminary study was carried out with a limited number of samples due to the initial infesting in the region and, therefore more comprehensive research is needed to reveal the the biology of BMSB in the country.

The aim of this paper was to systematically reviewing the selected feed factors. A worldwide food demand, including animal-derived food is highly predictable to increase at 60% by 2050, particularly in developing countries. By 2030, an annual meat consumption is also estimated to grow from 25.5 to 37 kg per person. In some parts of the world; however, such a growing demand isn’t currently matching with a comparable growth in the local production. For example, by 2050, around 40% of an animal-sourced food could be imported by African countries. Although such insufficiency of an animal-sourced food is generally due to that of the farm-animals’ low productivity, this is specifically believed to be because of the poor quality and inadequacy of the feeds. Both anti-nutritional factors (ANFs) and mycotoxins are the main factors that can contribute to the low quality and less efficiency of the feeds. Although some have beneficial effects, at their low concentrations, anti-nutrients are generally accountable for the harmful effects on the nutrient absorption. For example, up to 50, 23 and 10% of proteins and amino acid digestibility, in non-ruminant animals are reduced by the presence of trypsin inhibitors (TI), tannins and phytates, respectively. Feeds that are toxic for the mono-gastric animals may not be toxic to the ruminants. Soaking/roasting followed by pressure cooking is one of the best treating mechanisms to reduce those of the harmful effects of ANFs. Supplementation of the feeds with typical microbial enzymes, particularly when they are in a combined state enables also to reduce the negative effects of ANFs. A quarter of the world’s crops are being contaminated by the molds and fungi, and hence aflatoxin is an inevitable contaminant. Consequently, when animals eat these contaminated feeds, with aflatoxins the milk, eggs and meat could have the safety concerns to the human consumers. Due to that of some weak regulatory standards, the South-East Asian and sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries remain at a high risk of aflatoxin contaminations. In addition to that of the carrying-over impacts of aflatoxins, ANFs and mycotoxins are the main factors that are reducing the feed quality and efficiency, in animal production.

Abstract: We have been studied to determine solvent effect to interactions between 4-Ethoxybenzoic acid (4EOBA), 4-Pentylbenzoic acid (4PentBA), and 4-Pentylphenyl 4-Methylbenzoate (4PP4MetB) liquid crystals and CdS, CdSe with ZnS nanoparticles in DMSO, methanol, and toluene. For this, the absorbance and fluorescence spectra of the LC compounds in the solvent and the materials consisting of different nanoparticles were investigated. Absorbance and fluorescence electronic transitions are interpreted. The fluorescence of liquid crystals has been investigated in the shifts between wavelengths of the fluorescence of nanomaterials. It can be said that it has occurred blue shift at the maximum fluorescence wavelengths of the 4EOBA-CdS-DMSO and 4EOBA-CdSe-DMSO compared to 4EOBA-DMSO. On the other hand, we can say that in the 4EOBA-ZnS-DMSO solution occurs red shift in the fluorescence band, while the peaks seen in the fluorescence band can occur in result of interaction of liquid crystals and nanoparticles.

Agricultural support is a crucial way to overcome the difficulties of long agricultural production process, lack of capital and low productivity. Moreover, the fact that increasing the supply is not possible in a short while makes agricultural support more important. Different agricultural structures of countries imply different agricultural support values. This paper examines the simultaneous relations between agricultural support and agricultural value added in the six developing countries with the highest agricultural production value. Simultaneous equation systems are estimated by Two-Stage Least Squares method using annual data for the 2002-2018 period. The findings suggest that there is a simultaneous positive and statistically significant relationship between agricultural value added and agricultural supports.

Breeding studies of scented cut roses have gained significance recently. The Black rose, a naturalized old garden rose in Türkiye, is a valuable genetic resource for breeding programs due to its pleasant scent. This study investigated the fertility of the Black rose (Rosa odorata cv. Louis XIV, Halfeti rose) as a seed parent and its ability to transmit flower traits to offspring. Four commercial cut rose varieties with known pollen germination rates were used as pollen parents. Each combination underwent at least 33 pollinations, and the fruit set rate, the average seed number per fruit, and the seed germination rate were examined. Both parents and one-year-old F1 progeny were evaluated for petal number, scent, and flower color traits during two flowering periods. Cross-pollination resulted in fruit set rates ranging from 70.21% to 100.0%, average seed numbers per fruit ranging from 5.0 to 10.0, and seed germination rates ranging from 4.42% to 21.69%. Morphological characterization revealed that 5.05% of the progeny exhibited moderate to intense scent, 42.42% had sour cherry-colored petals, and petal numbers ranged from 9 to 54. Considering the overall efficiency of rose breeding programs, the findings demonstrate the promising fertility of the Black rose and its relative success in forming efficient combinations with hybrid tea roses. However, it also suggests that the Black rose is not as successful in transmitting the scent to its offspring as in transmitting the flower color.

This research was performed to determine the effects of different sowing times (ST1, ST2, and ST3) and biostimulant (Pi-NFS) doses (0, 100, 250, 500 ml da-1) on seed yield components of Italian ryegrass ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum L.) in the continental condition of Eskişehir, Turkey. The results indicated that the main factors significantly affected the seed yield components except for the effect of sowing time on plant height, however, the interaction effect of these factors was significant only on the number of the reproductive tillers and seed yield. There was no significant difference between the ST1 and ST2 in terms of the number of the reproductive tillers, thousand seed weight, and seed yield. Likewise, the values of these components did not differ significantly in the doses of 250 and 500 ml da-1. The highest seed yield was derived from the dose of 500 ml da-1 at ST2 and the values obtained from the doses of 250 and 500 ml da-1 at the ST1 were in the high seed yield group. It was concluded that early sowing time and the doses of 250 to 500 ml da-1 biostimulant application resulted in high seed yield in Italian grass. On the other hand, the dose of 500 ml was more effective in case of delayed sowing time like ST2.
在土耳其eski ehir大陆条件下，研究了不同播种时间(ST1、ST2和ST3)和生物刺激素(Pi-NFS)剂量(0、100、250、500 ml da-1)对意大利黑麦草(Lolium multiflorum L.)种子产量成分的影响。结果表明，除播期对株高的影响外，其他主要因素对种子产量的影响均显著，但这些因素的交互作用仅对繁殖分蘖数和种子产量有显著影响。在繁殖分蘖数、千粒重和种子产量方面，ST1与ST2无显著差异。同样，在250和500 ml da-1剂量下，这些成分的值也没有显着差异。在ST2时，500 ml da-1剂量的种子产量最高，在ST1时，250和500 ml da-1剂量的种子产量最高。结果表明，早期播种和施用250 ~ 500 ml da-1生物刺激素可提高意大利草种子产量。另一方面，在像ST2这样延迟播种的情况下，500 ml的剂量更有效。

The main focus of this research was to explore the present status of pineapple cultivation in Madhupur tract of Bangladesh. Primary data were collected using a pre-designed and pre-tested questionnaire by face-to-face interviews from a sample of 300 pineapple growers and two focus group discussions were also carried out from March to May 2022. According to the study findings majority (51%) of the respondents cultivate pineapple in their own land having medium experience (53.3%), followed mixed cropping pattern (89%) where 25.33 percent respondent cultivate banana as companion crop. ‘Calendar’ is the top most cultivated variety of pineapple in Madhupur tract. Majority of the respondent use balanced pesticide and ripening agent due to increasing demand of chemical free farm fresh pineapple among consumers. Higher profit compared to other crops (82.00 %) was the main reason for producing pineapple in the study area. Majority (26.67%) of the respondent followed (Grower- Faria- Bepari- Aratdar- Wholesaler- Retailer- Consumers) channel among the six dominant marketing channels to market their produced pineapple. The results of SWOT analysis revealed that weakness of pineapple cultivation in Madhupur tract have the potential to improve. If the government and other policy making organizations come forward to solve the problems arising in pineapple cultivation, then the position of pineapple as fruit will be consolidated soon in home and abroad.

The aim of this study is to histologically and histochemically determine the developmental and involutional stages of bursa of Fabricius of henna partridge (Alectoris chukar). In the study, bursa of Fabricius of 12 3-month-old (6 males, 6 females), 12 6-month-old (6 males, 6 females) henna partridges purchased from a private farm were used. It was observed that bursa of Fabricius was surrounded by a connective tissue capsule and consisted of tunica serosa, tunica muscularis, and tunica mucosa layers from the outside to the inside. It was seen that the tunica muscularis consisted of outer longitudinal and inner circular smooth muscle fibers. It was observed that the tunica mucosa made plicae towards the lumen of the organ and consisted of 10-15 plicae. It was seen that lamina epithelialis and lymph follicles were present in each plica. It was determined that the lamina epithelialis consisted of two parts called FAE (Follicle-Associated Epithelium) and IFE (İnter Follicular Epithelium). It was noted that the lymph follicles contained cortex and medulla sections and were separated locally by capillaries together with cortical medullary boundry cells. In the Methyl Green-pyronin staining method, plasma cells were found in the bursa of Fabricius of the henna partridge, in the connective tissue surrounding the organ, around the blood vessels and inside the follicles. In AB pH=2.5 staining, AB-positive reaction was seen only in the apical part of the epithelial cells forming FAE and IFE in the pre- and post-involution period. In PAS staining, PAS-positive reaction was observed only in the apical part of the epithelial cells forming FAE and IFE in the pre- and post-involution period. In PAS/AB pH=2.5 combined staining method, AB-positive reaction was observed only in the apical part of epithelial cells in the pre- and post-involution period. As a result of this study, it was found that bursa of Fabricius of the henna partridge did not undergo any histochemical changes despite its histologically large differences after involution.
