The traditional approach has significant limitations in designing and manufacturing high-performance micro-nanorobots with complex three-dimensional structures and response characteristics at the micro-nanoscale, making it difficult to meet practical...
The food industry is witnessing a growing interest in pollen due to its nutritional and energy composition. Consumers of bee pollen are increasingly eager to learn about the origins of the products they purchase. Establishing the geographical origin ...
TubeTracker provides a method to partially automate analysis of pollen tube growth using live imaging. Pollen function is critical for successful plant reproduction and crop productivity and it is important to develop accessible methods to quantitati...
Podocarpus pollen morphology is shaped by both phylogenetic history and the environment. We analyzed the relationship between pollen traits quantified using deep learning and environmental factors within a comparative phylogenetic framework. We inves...

The classification of bee pollen is crucial for ensuring product authenticity, quality control, and fraud prevention, particularly given the high commercial value of stingless bee pot-pollen. Although traditional pollen analysis methods are available...
BACKGROUND: FTIR microspectroscopy is a popular non-destructive technique for chemical analysis and identification of microparticles, such as microplastics, pollen, spores, microplankton organisms, sediments and microfossils. Unfortunately, measured ...
Agriculture, particularly fruit production, is considered a crucial industry with a significant economic impact in many countries. Extreme fluctuations in air temperature can negatively affect the flowering periods of fruit species. Therefore, it is ...
The production of low-cost, small footprint imaging sensor would be invaluable for airborne global monitoring of pollen, which could allow for mitigation of hay fever symptoms. We demonstrate the use of a white light LED (light emitting diode) to ill...
BACKGROUND: Statistical and machine learning models are commonly used to estimate spatial and temporal variability in exposure to environmental stressors, supporting epidemiological studies. We aimed to compare the performances, strengths and limitat...
The rapid and sensitive detection of pathogenic and suspicious bioaerosols are essential for public health protection. The impact of pollen on the identification of bacterial species by Raman and Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectra cannot be ov...
