YOLOv11-GSF: an optimized deep learning model for strawberry ripeness detection in agriculture by Haoran Ma, Qian Zhao, Runqing Zhang, Chunxu Hao, Wenhui Dong, Xiaoying Zhang, Fuzhong Li, Xiaoqin Xue, Gongqing Sun

“…To overcome these limitations, this paper introduces YOLOv11-GSF, a real-time strawberry ripeness detection algorithm based on YOLOv11, which incorporates several innovative features: a Ghost Convolution (GhostConv) convolution method for generating rich feature maps through lightweight linear transformations, thereby reducing computational overhead and enhancing resource utilization; a C3K2-SG module that combines self-moving point convolution (SMPConv) and convolutional gated linear units (CGLU) to better capture the local features of strawberry ripeness; and a F-PIoUv2 loss function inspired by Focaler IoU and PIoUv2, utilizing adaptive penalty factors and interval mapping to expedite model convergence and optimize ripeness classification. …”

Targeted maximum likelihood based estimation for longitudinal mediation analysis by Wang Zeyi, Laan Lars van der, Petersen Maya, Gerds Thomas, Kvist Kajsa, Laan Mark van der

“…The proposed estimators are multiply robust, locally efficient, and directly estimate and update the conditional densities that factorize data likelihoods. We utilize the highly adaptive lasso (HAL) and projection representations to derive new estimators (HAL-EIC) of the efficient influence curves (EICs) of longitudinal mediation problems and propose a fast one-step TMLE algorithm using HAL-EIC while preserving the asymptotic properties. …”

The Ecological and Economic Challenges of Preserving Forests, Water Resources and Biodiversity in the Context of Climate Change by Shevchenko Oleksandr V.

“…The research pays special attention to the connection between climate change and biological diversity, as the disruption of the natural balance of ecosystems leads to a reduction in the distribution ranges of certain species, the emergence of invasive species, and a decrease in the adaptive capacities of living organisms. Biodiversity, which is key to ecological sustainability, can mitigate the impacts of climate change, but its loss poses a potential threat to the functioning of natural systems. …”
