European Corn Borer ( Hbn.) Bioecology in Eastern Romania.

Between 2020 and 2021, we conducted research in eastern Romania to monitor the bioecology of the European corn borer ( Hbn.), an important pest of corn. The bioecology research established the pest stage duration (egg, larva, pupa, and moth), the flight curve, and the flight peak.

Breaking CAPTCHA with Capsule Networks.

Convolutional Neural Networks have achieved state-of-the-art performance in image classification. Their lack of ability to recognise the spatial relationship between features, however, leads to misclassification of the variants of the same image. Capsule Networks were introduced to address this issue by incorporating the spatial information of image features into neural networks.
