Effective pig farming relies on precise and adaptable animal identification methods, particularly in dynamic environments where new pigs are regularly added to the herd. However, pig face recognition is challenging due to high individual similarity, lighting variations, and occlusions. These factors hinder accurate identification and monitoring.

Accurate data-driven models derived from these techniques are essential for designing efficient feedback control systems, enabling precise motor dynamics representation and facilitating early fault detection by identifying deviations from normal operation. A detailed simulation of the BLDC motor under no-load conditions is performed to analyze the speed response and ripple effects in torque and speed, underscoring the need for effective modeling and control.

Citrus fruits, known for their vibrant flavours and health benefits, are susceptible to fungal attacks, particularly from toxigenic fungi, which pose a significant pre- and post-harvest hazard. However, aromatic oils and their nanoparticles may effectively address this issue. Marjoram and fennel oils, alongside their nanoparticles, were extracted, and their aromatic constituents and antimicrobial activities were evaluated.
