The detection, observation, recognition, and statistics of marine plankton are the basis of marine ecological research. In recent years, digital holography has been widely applied to plankton detection and recognition. However, the recording and reco...
Predicting thermodynamic adhesion energies was a critical strategy for mitigating membrane fouling. This study utilized a backpropagation (BP) neural network model to predict the thermodynamic adhesion energies associated with membrane fouling in a p...
Plankton microorganisms play a huge role in the aquatic food web. Recently, it has been proposed to use plankton as a biosensor, since they can react to even minimal perturbations of the aquatic environment with specific physiological changes, which ...
Plankton are widely distributed in the aquatic environment and serve as an indicator of water quality. Monitoring the spatiotemporal variation in plankton is an efficient approach to forewarning environmental risks. However, conventional microscopy c...
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) have become a global issue, affecting public health and water industries in numerous countries. Because funds for monitoring HABs are limited, model development may be an alternative approach for understanding and managing...
Antimicrobials against planktonic cells and established biofilms at low doses are in increasing demand to tackle antibiotic-resistant biofilm infections. As a promising alternative to antibiotics, cationic polymers can effectively kill planktonic mic...
Quantitative imaging instruments produce a large number of images of plankton and marine snow, acquired in a controlled manner, from which the visual characteristics of individual objects and their in situ concentrations can be computed. To exploit t...
In this study, we propose a method for training convolutional neural networks to make them identify and classify images with higher classification accuracy. By combining the Cartesian and polar coordinate systems when describing the images, the metho...
Guanabara Bay is a tropical estuarine ecosystem that receives massive anthropogenic impacts from the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro. This ecosystem suffers from an ongoing eutrophication process that has been shown to promote the emergence of ...
