Deep Learning-Based Gender Recognition in Cherry Valley Ducks Through Sound Analysis.

Gender recognition is an important part of the duck industry. Currently, the gender identification of ducks mainly relies on manual labor, which is highly labor-intensive. This study aims to propose a novel method for distinguishing between males and females based on the characteristic sound parameters for day-old ducks.

Synergistic inhibition effect and mechanism of an inhibitor for entire process inhibition of coal spontaneous combustion.

Traditional coal spontaneous combustion (CSC) inhibitors, while effective, have limitations such as frequent application or short-term efficacy. To this end, we developed a slow-release and water-soluble synergistic inhibitor (SWSI) to achieve long-term CSC inhibition. The SWSI was formulated by integrating synergistic antioxidants (SA) composed of ascorbic acid (AsA) and Fe-superoxide dismutase (Fe-SOD) dissolved in a super absorbent polymer (SAP) encapsulated within hydrogel microcapsules.

Preparation of Sol-Gel Derived Anticorrosive Coating on Q235 Carbon Steel Substrate with Long-Term Corrosion Prevention Durability.

Anticorrosive coatings prepared by sol-gel derived approaches have become an emergent research area in the field of corrosion prevention materials. Furthermore, enhanced coating thickness can greatly improve the barrier effect of the sol-gel coatings, thus influencing their service life in industrial applications. Here, we propose the preparation of a two-layer coating system using a low-cost sol-gel derived method.
