The measurement of a laser linewidth is significant in metrology, coherent optical communications, high-resolution sensing, and LIDAR. Firstly, in this study, we theoretically explain why estimating an integrated linewidth via a frequency-noise power spectral density (PSD) is valid. We find that the previous methods estimating the integrated linewidth via the frequency-noise PSD result from Gaussian approximation and obtain a more general consequence.

The green fraction (GF), which is the fraction of green vegetation in a given viewing direction, is closely related to the light interception ability of the crop canopy. Monitoring the dynamics of GF is therefore of great interest for breeders to identify genotypes with high radiation use efficiency. The accuracy of GF estimation depends heavily on the quality of the segmentation dataset and the accuracy of the image segmentation method.

The number of leaves at a given time is important to characterize plant growth and development. In this work, we developed a high-throughput method to count the number of leaves by detecting leaf tips in RGB images. The digital plant phenotyping platform was used to simulate a large and diverse dataset of RGB images and corresponding leaf tip labels of wheat plants at seedling stages (150,000 images with over 2 million labels).

Objective: To analyse the heritabilities of serum luteinizing hormone(LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), testosterone (T) and estradiol (E2) in twin boys, and to study the genetic contributions to gonadotropin-gonadal axis.

Methods: A total of 51 pairs of male twins, 35 monozygotic (MZ) and 16 dizygotic(DZ) aged 5 to 11 years, were investigated. Serum gonadotropin and sex hormone were measured by radioimmunoassay.
