ZnO doped with Co2+ has been prepared by a Pechini process and investigated in terms of crystallographic structure and UV-visible properties. We emphasize for the first time a splitting of the ZnO band gap in two "sub-band gaps" (never clearly mentioned until now) which is fully interpreted basing on the iono-covalent nature of the O-Zn bonds. An anticipative approach of the potential structure relaxations was discussed from exchanged effective charge per bond calculated with the purely ionic Brown and Altermatt model.

Pepper-YOLO: an lightweight model for green pepper detection and picking point localization in complex environments.

In the cultivation of green chili peppers, the similarity between the fruit and background color, along with severe occlusion between fruits and leaves, significantly reduces the efficiency of harvesting robots. While increasing model depth can enhance detection accuracy, complex models are often difficult to deploy on low-cost agricultural devices. This paper presents an improved lightweight Pepper-YOLO model based on YOLOv8n-Pose, designed for simultaneous detection of green chili peppers and picking points.

Although the use of ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diode backlight with red, green, and blue color-conversion layers (CCLs) in displays simplifies the manufacturing process and improves display uniformity, research on blue CCLs remains limited and has been mostly reported in the sky-blue region (> 470 nm), which is insufficient to satisfy the Rec. 2020 color standard. As halide perovskites offer a high extinction coefficient, color purity, and photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), they become highly competitive color-converting materials for CCLs.

Background: Inadequate bowel perfusion is among risk factors for colorectal anastomotic leaks. Perfusion can be assessed with indocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICG) during colon resections. Possible benefits from its systematic use in high-risk patients with rectal cancer remain inconsistent.

Kombucha is a popular fermented beverage that involves fermentation using a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY) and produces bacterial cellulose (BC). Carbon and nitrogen sources are essential in kombucha processing and BC production. However, studies on cost-effective BC production as an alternative source of leather have remained scarce.
