Some straightforward improvements designed to make grid-based quantum chemical topology more efficient and faster are presented. The strategy focuses on both the evaluation of the scalar function over three-dimensional discrete grids and the algorithms aimed to follow and integrate gradient trajectories over the basin volumes together. Beyond the density analysis, we show that the scheme is quite suitable for the electron localization function and its complex topology. With this speed-up of the parallelized process used to generate 3d-grids, this new scheme is several orders of magnitude faster than the original grid-based method implemented in our laboratory (TopMod09). The efficiency of our implementation (TopChem2) was also compared with well-known grid-based algorithms designed to assign the grid points to basins. The performances, speed versus accuracy have been discussed on the basis of results obtained from selected illustrative examples.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have made significant advances in autonomous sensing, particularly in the field of precision agriculture. Effective path planning is critical for autonomous navigation in large orchards to ensure that UAVs are able to recognize the optimal route between the start and end points. When UAVs perform tasks such as crop protection, monitoring, and data collection in orchard environments, they must be able to adapt to dynamic conditions.

Motion blur is a problem that degrades the visual quality of images for human perception and also challenges computer vision tasks. While existing studies mostly focus on deblurring algorithms to remove uniform blur due to their computational efficiency, such approaches fail when faced with non-uniform blur. In this study, we propose a novel algorithm for motion deblurring that utilizes an adaptive mesh-grid approach to manage non-uniform motion blur with a focus on reducing the computational cost.

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) pose serious threats to coastal economies and ecosystems, yet effective monitoring remains challenging due to diverse bloom types and complex environmental conditions. This paper proposes a Mixed Algal Blooms Index (MABI) that uses a new color space to improve HABs detection. By employing Sentinel-2's near-infrared, short-wave infrared, and green bands to calculate tristimulus values-replacing traditional RGB bands-MABI significantly enhances the distinction between algal blooms and water.

The protection system is crucial for grid stability and safeguarding essential components, including generators, transformers, transmission systems, and power connections. The smart grid system increases the flexibility and complexity of the power system, making fault detection and isolation the primary challenges for the protection system. This paper presents an optimal protection solution using an adaptive electronic relay to enhance reliability and enable self-healing.
