In this study, the performances of one-dimensional and two-dimensional least-squares strain estimators (LSQSE) are compared. Furthermore, the effects of kernel size are examined using simulated raw frequency data of a widely-adapted hard lesion/soft tissue model. The performances of both methods are assessed in terms of root-mean-squared errors (RMSE), elastographic signal-to-noise ratio (SNRe) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNRe). RMSE analysis revealed that the 2D LSQSE yields better results for phased array data, especially for larger insonification angles. Using a 2D LSQSE enabled the processing of unfiltered displacement data, in particular for the lateral/horizontal strain components. The SNRe and CNRe analysis showed an improvement in precision and almost no loss in contrast using 2D LSQSE. However, the RMSE images for different kernel sizes revealed that the optimal 2D kernel size depends on the region-of-interest and showed that the LSQ kernel size should be limited to avoid loss in resolution.

Kojic acid is a secondary metabolite with strong chelating and antioxidant properties produced by and . Although antioxidants and chelators are important virulence factors for plant pathogens, the ecological role of kojic acid remains unclear. We previously observed a greater gene expression of antioxidants, especially kojic acid, by non-aflatoxigenic when co-cultured with aflatoxigenic Aflatoxin production was also reduced.

Airborne gamma ray spectrum detection technology is an effective means to measure the concentration and spatial distribution of natural radionuclides in environmental media such as surface rocks and soil during aviation flight. Therefore, it is vital to fully explore the radiation information related to mineralization in airborne gamma spectrometry data and explore the dose distribution law of gamma radiation field of radionuclides in the detection area. This paper is based on the theoretical calculation model of ground-air interface gamma radiation field.

Background: Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) reduces radiation exposure, but the introduced noise and artifacts impair its diagnostic accuracy. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are widely used for LDCT denoising, but they suffer from a limited receptive field. The use of a larger kernel size can enlarge the receptive field and boost model performance; however, the computational cost of the model greatly increases.

During the production process of inkjet printing labels, printing defects can occur, affecting the readability of product information. The distinctive shapes and subtlety of printing defects present a significant challenge for achieving high accuracy and rapid detection in existing deep learning-based defect detection systems. To overcome this problem, we propose an improved model based on the structure of the YOLOv5 network to enhance the detection performance of printing defects.
