Ali Mirzazadeh Afshin Azizi Yousef Abbaspour_Gilandeh José Luis Hernández-Hernández Mario Hernández Hernández Iván Gallardo Bernal (2021, [Artículo])

Estimation of crop damage plays a vital role in the management of fields in the agricultura sector. An accurate measure of it provides key guidance to support agricultural decision-making systems. The objective of the study was to propose a novel technique for classifying damaged crops based on a state-of-the-art deep learning algorithm. To this end, a dataset of rapeseed field images was gathered from the field after birds¿ attacks. The dataset consisted of three classes including undamaged, partially damaged, and fully damaged crops. Vgg16 and Res-Net50 as pre-trained deep convolutional neural networks were used to classify these classes. The overall classification accuracy reached 93.7% and 98.2% for the Vgg16 and the ResNet50 algorithms, respectively. The results indicated that a deep neural network has a high ability in distinguishing and categorizing different image-based datasets of rapeseed. The findings also revealed a great potential of Deep learning-based models to classify other damaged crops.

Classification of Cucumber Leaves Based on Nitrogen Content Using the Hyperspectral Imaging Technique and Majority Voting.

Sajad Sabzi Razieh Pourdarbani Mohammad Hossein Rohban Alejandro Fuentes_Penna José Luis Hernández-Hernández Mario Hernández Hernández (2021, [Artículo])

Improper usage of nitrogen in cucumber cultivation causes nitrate accumulation in the fruit and results in food poisoning in humans; therefore, mandatory evaluation of food products becomes inevitable. Hyperspectral imaging has a very good ability to evaluate the quality of fruits and vegetables in a non-destructive manner. The goal of the present paper was to identify excess nitrogen in cucumber plants. To obtain a reliable result, the majority voting method was used, which takes into account the unanimity of five classifiers, namely, the hybrid artificial neural network¿imperialism competitive algorithm (ANN-ICA), the hybrid artificial neural network¿harmonic search (ANN-HS) algorithm, linear discrimination analysis (LDA), the radial basis function network (RBF), and the Knearest- neighborhood (KNN). The wavelengths of 723, 781, and 901 nm were determined as optimal wavelengths using the hybrid artificial neural network¿biogeography-based optimization (ANNBBO) algorithm, and the performance of classifiers was investigated using the optimal spectrum. The results of a t-test showed that there was no significant difference in the precision of the algorithm when using the optimal wavelengths and wavelengths of the whole range. The correct classification rate of the classifiers ANN-ICA, ANN-HS, LDA, RBF, and KNN were 96.14%, 96.11%, 95.73%, 64.03%, and 95.24%, respectively. The correct classification rate of majority voting (MV) was 95.55% for test data in 200 iterations, which indicates the system was successful in distinguishing nitrogen-rich leaves from leaves with a standard content of nitrogen.

Análisis de las conexiones matemáticas en la enseñanza y aprendizaje de la derivada basado en un networking of theories entre la Teoría de las conexiones y el Enfoque ontosemiótico.

In research in Mathematics Education, models have been reported to analyze mathematical connections in which specific connection categories are considered. In the literature, it was identified that the most used model is the Businskas with contributions from other researchers. However, the problem refers to the fact that some categories of connections limit the analysis of mathematical activity and, therefore, the research suggests that the established categories are validated and, if possible, new categories of connections are reported. Other investigations focused on exploring mathematical connections and understanding the derivative reveal that high school students, pre-service teachers, and some in-service mathematics teachers have difficulty connecting multiple representations of the derivative (e.g., algebraic, or symbolic, verbal, graphic, tabular) and establish connections between partial meanings about this concept.

Color segmentation is one of the most thoroughly studied problems in agricultural applications of remote image capture systems, since it is the key step in several different tasks, such as crop harvesting, site specific spraying, and targeted disease control under natural light. This paper studies and compares five methods to segment plum fruit images under ambient conditions at 12 different light intensities, and an ensemble method combining them. In these methods, several color features in different color spaces are first extracted for each pixel, and then the most e

ective features are selected using a hybrid approach of artificial neural networks and the cultural algorithm (ANN-CA). The features selected among the 38 defined channels were the b* channel of L*a*b*, and the color purity index, C*, from L*C*h. Next, fruit/background segmentation is performed using five classifiers: artificial neural network-imperialist competitive algorithm (ANN-ICA); hybrid artificial neural network-harmony search (ANN-HS); support vector machines (SVM); k nearest neighbors (kNN); and linear discriminant analysis (LDA). In the ensemble method, the final class for each pixel is determined using the majority voting method. The experiments showed that the correct classification rate for the majority voting method excluding LDA was 98.59%, outperforming the results of the constituent methods.

Fabrication of PVDF/PMMA Polymer for Sustainable Energy Harvesting .

JOSE RAYMUNDO LEPPE NEREY FERNANDO ZENAIDO SIERRA ESPINOSA MIGUEL ANGEL BASURTO PENSADO JOSE ALFREDO RODRIGUEZ RAMIREZ (2023, [Artículo])

The synthesis of blends that combine properties of two or more polymeric materials is increasingly investigated due to the versatility of the synthesis and its growing potential for many applications, including sustainability. Their characteristics are defined mainly by the synthesis conditions. Therefore, this paper details the synthesis process of easy-to-handle films using mixing method. The procedures and drawbacks found during the preparation of composite films are described. Polymeric compounds formed by the mixture of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) are addressed, varying the concentration, and evaluating their impact on the piezoelectric capacity. Films were formed through the spin-coating technique and characterized by optical and holographic microscopes. The results showed that composites with a concentration of 50 wt.% or larger of PVDF in the blend acquire a morphology with a granular appearance, however at lower concentrations they present a homogeneous morphology similar to that of PMMA. A homogeneous distribution of PVDF in the PMMA stands out. However, excessive contents of PMMA are associated to peaks and non-uniformities detected like multicolored regions by digital holography. Controlled strength-strain laboratory tests allowed to evaluate the film blends performance. The results indicate noticeable improvements in voltage output for a composition 70wt% PVDF and 30 wt% PMMA.

Design of beamforming networks for circular antenna arrays based on periodic coherent radiation structures

Itzel Mota Castañeda (2023, [Tesis de maestría])

La tesis se enfoca en abordar los desafíos en sistemas de comunicación inalámbrica, con el objetivo principal de diseñar redes de conformación de haz eficiente para un arreglo circular de antenas. Esta red debe reducir la dependencia de cambiadores de fase o dispositivos activos y cumplir con patrones de radiación específicos. Para lograr esto, se propone una solución que combina una red de excitación cofasal y una red CORPS cilíndrica. La red de alimentación cofasal, optimizada mediante algoritmos genéticos, demuestra la capacidad de generar un haz de radiación que puede ser escaneado en todo el plano azimutal. Esto se logra aprovechando las propiedades de rotación y simetría del arreglo circular. Además, se alcanza un rendimiento destacado en la supresión de lóbulos laterales, con una reducción significativa de -16 dB en comparación con el caso sin optimizar. Esta mejora en la calidad del haz de radiación es crucial para la transmisión confiable de señales en sistemas de comunicación. La red CORPS cilíndrica presentada en la investigación simplifica la red de alimentación en un 50%. Permite generar una cantidad distribuida de haces en todo el plano azimutal, y la dirección de escaneo de cada haz se ajusta según el número de puertos de entrada. Cada puerto de entrada controla un haz de radiación, lo que simplifica la complejidad del sistema y permite un mayor control sobre los lóbulos laterales. A medida que se aumenta el número de elementos y puertos de entrada en el arreglo, se mejora aún más el rendimiento en la supresión de lóbulos laterales. Esto ofrece la flexibilidad de ajustar el nivel de lóbulos laterales según los requisitos específicos de diseño. La investigación ha demostrado que la combinación de una red de alimentación cofasal optimizada y una red CORPS cilíndrica ofrecen una solución efectiva para la conformación de haz en arreglos circulares de antenas. Esta solución reduce significativamente la dependencia de dispositivos activos, mejora la calidad de la señal y simplifica la operación del sistema. Estos resultados abren oportunidades para futuras investigaciones y prometen mejoras en la industria de las comunicaciones inalámbricas.

This work is focused on the challenges in wireless communication systems, with the main objective of designing efficient beamforming networks for a circular antenna array. This network must reduce the reliance on phase shifters or active devices and meet specific radiation patterns. To achieve this, we propose two possible solutions: a cophasal excitation network and a cylindrical CORPS network. The cophasal feed network, optimized by genetic algorithms, generates a radiation beam that can be scanned in the whole azimuth plane. It is possible by taking advantage of the rotation and symmetry properties of the circular array. Furthermore, we achieve an outstanding performance in sidelobe suppression, with a significant reduction of -16 dB compared to the unoptimized case. This improvement in the quality of the radiation beam is crucial for the reliable transmission of signals in communication systems. The cylindrical CORPS network (presented in this research) simplifies the power network by 50%. It allows the entire azimuth plane to generate a distributed number of beams and adjust the scanning direction of each beam in according to the number of input ports. Each input port controls one radiation beam, simplifying the complexity of the system and allowing greater control over the side lobes. As the number of elements and input ports increases, sidelobe suppression performance is further improved. This proposal offers the flexibility to adjust the level of side lobes based on specific design requirements. Research has shown that the optimization of a cophasal feeder network and a cylindrical CORPS network offers an effective solution for beamforming in circular antenna arrays. This solution significantly reduces dependency on active devices, improves signal quality, and simplifies system operation. These results open up opportunities for future research and promise improvements in the wireless communications industry.
