Long before scientists started studying how babies grow in the womb, ancient texts from different religions had a lot to say about it. Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam all have detailed descriptions of fetal development. These texts also talk about how to take care of pr
Infrared (IR) imaging is a big deal. It helps in many areas like spotting objects, checking factories, and even medical scans. But there's a catch: IR images are often blurry and noisy. This makes it tough for regular object detection models to work well. To tackle this, a new method has been devel
HPV is a virus that spreads through sexual contact. It is incredibly common. Scientists wanted to find out if HPV in men could affect their ability to have children through IVF. They looked at semen samples from men in Sweden who were trying to have a baby this way. The goal was to see how often
The manufacturing industry faces a big problem. Detecting surface defects on products is crucial. But current methods often fall short. They struggle with different types of defects and complex backgrounds. This is especially true for small defects that vary in size. These issues lead to poor detect
The ability to spot soybean leaf diseases quickly and accurately is key to boosting both the amount and quality of the crop. Traditional methods of identifying diseases from images often fall short. They struggle with small targets and similar-looking diseases in complex environments. A new model,
Baby white sturgeons, known as larvae, are facing new challenges in a warming world, and recent studies have shown that the temperature while they're developing can change how they act later in life. These sturgeons live in big rivers and estuaries along the Pacific coast of North America, and
Everyone is talking about the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, which has impacted millions worldwide. We've had to adopt social distancing and isolation. But what about public spaces like toilets? How do we keep them safe? A team designed a clever disinfection system using an STM32 microprocessor. Th
Solar panels are crucial for solar power systems. Their quality affects how well they generate power and how safe the system is. Current ways to find defects in solar panels have issues like high costs, heavy workloads, and slow detection speeds. To fix these problems, scientists have created a new
You've probably heard about robots playing basketball. But did you know that these robots have trouble recognizing the ball and measuring distances? To fix this, scientists used a combination of robot operating systems and smart algorithms called IBN-YOLOv5s. They added a special module to the algor
Ever wondered how we can quickly and accurately spot problems on steel surfaces? Enter MSFT-YOLO, a smart detector that's been tweaked for this exact job. It's based on a model called YOLOv5, but with some neat tricks up its sleeve. One of these is a module called TRANS, which is inspired by Transfo
