ADAM-DETR: an intelligent rice disease detection method based on adaptive multi-scale feature fusion.

Rice diseases pose a severe threat to global food security, while traditional detection methods suffer from low efficiency and dependence on manual expertise. To address the challenges of insufficient feature extraction and poor multi-scale disease adaptability in existing deep learning approaches under complex field environments, this study proposes ADAM-DETR, a rice disease detection algorithm based on improved RT-DETR. We constructed the RiDDET-5 dataset containing 9,303 images covering five major disease categories.

Live Monitoring of Nanoparticle Aggregation and Sedimentation in Biological Fluids Using X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy.

Aggregation and sedimentation greatly impact the behavior and functionality of nanoparticles in biological environments. Monitoring the aggregation and sedimentation of nanoparticles could help to better understand and control their colloidal behaviors. However, this task is often hindered by abundant biomolecules in biological fluids and biological barriers such as skin and blood vessels.

Formation of cross-linked lysinoalanine in soy protein isolate: Synergy between hot-alkali and pH-shift treatments.

Combining hot-alkali and pH-shift (HS) treatments is a convenient and economical way of modifying proteins. However, the cross-linked lysinoalanine (LAL) formed during this process affects edible-protein safety. This study investigated the conformational changes experienced by soybean protein isolate (SPI) during HS treatment and the mechanism associated with LAL cross-linking.

Ethanol as a switch to induce soybean lipophilic protein self-assembly and resveratrol delivery.

Protein-based nanoparticles or nanocarriers of emulsion systems have piqued the interest of nutrition and health care goods. As a result, this work examines the characterisation of ethanol-induced soybean lipophilic protein (LP) self-assembly for resveratrol (Res) encapsulation, particularly the influence on emulsification. By varying the ethanol content ([E]) in the range of 0-70% (v/v), the structure, size, and morphology of LP nanoparticles may be adjusted.

Ultrasound-assisted alkali removal of proteins from wastewater generated during oil bodies extraction.

In this study, an ultrasonic-assisted alkaline method was used to remove proteins from wastewater generated during oil-body extraction, and the effects of different ultrasonic power settings (0, 150, 300, and 450 W) on protein recovery were investigated. The recoveries of the ultrasonically treated samples were higher than those of the samples without ultrasonic treatment, and the protein recoveries increased with increasing power, with a protein recovery of 50.10 % ± 0.

Dithiothreitol-induced reassembly of soybean lipophilic protein as a carrier for resveratrol: Preparation, structural characterization, and functional properties.

We employed dithiothreitol (DTT) to reassemble soy lipophilic protein (LP) and increased its solubility for encapsulating resveratrol (Res); we subsequently added hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) to further stabilize Res. Physicochemical characterization, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and spectral analysis revealed that DTT triggered the breakage and reassembly of the disulfide bond. Consequently, the solubility of LP increased from 38.

Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate-Dependent Disassembly and Reassembly of Soybean Lipophilic Protein Nanoparticles: An Environmentally Friendly Nanocarrier for Resveratrol.

The development of protein-based nanocarriers to improve the water solubility, stability, and bioavailability of hydrophobic or poorly soluble bioactive molecules has attracted increasing interest in the food and pharmaceutical industries. In this study, a network-like nanostructure of soybean lipophilic protein (LP) was obtained through sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-dependent decomposition and recombination. This nanostructure served as an excellent nanocarrier for resveratrol (Res), a poorly soluble biologically active molecule.
