Machine learning approach for automatic recognition of tomato-pollinating bees based on their buzzing-sounds.

PLoS computational biology
Bee-mediated pollination greatly increases the size and weight of tomato fruits. Therefore, distinguishing between the local set of bees-those that are efficient pollinators-is essential to improve the economic returns for farmers. To achieve this, i...

Can AI distinguish a bone radiograph from photos of flowers or cars? Evaluation of bone age deep learning model on inappropriate data inputs.

Skeletal radiology
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the behavior of a publicly available deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) bone age algorithm when presented with inappropriate data inputs in both radiological and non-radiological domains.

Can plants fool artificial intelligence? Using machine learning to compare between bee orchids and bees.

Plant signaling & behavior
Bee orchids have long been an excellent example of how dishonest signal works in plant-animal interaction. Many studies compared the flower structures that resemble female bees, leading toward pseudo-copulation of the male bees on the flower. Using M...

Machine learning, transcriptome, and genotyping chip analyses provide insights into SNP markers identifying flower color in Platycodon grandiflorus.

Scientific reports
Bellflower is an edible ornamental gardening plant in Asia. For predicting the flower color in bellflower plants, a transcriptome-wide approach based on machine learning, transcriptome, and genotyping chip analyses was used to identify SNP markers. S...

Opposite valence social information provided by bio-robotic demonstrators shapes selection processes in the green bottle fly.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface
Social learning represents a high-level complex process to acquire information about the environment, which is increasingly reported in invertebrates. The animal-robot interaction paradigm turned out to be an encouraging strategy to unveil social lea...

Efficient extraction of flavonoids from Flos Sophorae Immaturus by tailored and sustainable deep eutectic solvent as green extraction media.

Journal of pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis
In the face of the many shortcomings of conventional organic solvents in the age of green chemistry, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) appear under the spotlight of natural product extraction because of its outstanding advantages. In this study, the extr...

Protective effect of polysaccharide from Sophora japonica L. flower buds against UVB radiation in a human keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT cells).

Journal of photochemistry and photobiology. B, Biology
Natured botanical extract has attracted considerable attention recently in the field of skin anti-ultraviolet (UV) radiation. As a medicinal herb, Sophora japonica flower buds contained several components such as flavonoids, isoflavonoids, triterpene...

Modified Global Flower Pollination Algorithm and its Application for Optimization Problems.

Interdisciplinary sciences, computational life sciences
Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA) has increasingly attracted researchers' attention in the computational intelligence field. This is due to its simplicity and efficiency in searching for global optimality of many optimization problems. However, ther...

Optimization of extraction of linarin from Flos chrysanthemi indici by response surface methodology and artificial neural network.

Journal of separation science
The extraction of linarin from Flos chrysanthemi indici by ethanol was investigated. Two modeling techniques, response surface methodology and artificial neural network, were adopted to optimize the process parameters, such as, ethanol concentration,...

The inhibition of advanced glycation end-products by five fractions and three main flavonoids from Camellia nitidissima Chi flowers.

Journal of food and drug analysis
Camellia nitidissima Chi (CNC), belonging to Camellia genus (Theaceae family), is a medicinal and edible plant in China. Among the whole plant, the CNC flowers are especially precious, but the biological activities and the compositions of the CNC flo...
