This commentary examines Topological Data Analysis (TDA) in radiology imaging, highlighting its revolutionary potential in medical image interpretation. TDA, which is grounded in mathematical topology, provides novel insights into complex, high-dimensional radiological data through persistent homology and topological features. We explore TDA's applications across medical imaging domains, including tumor characterization, cardiovascular imaging, and COVID-19 detection, where it demonstrates 15-20% improvements over traditional methods.

Crop field monitoring using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is one of the most important technologies for plant growth control in modern precision agriculture. One of the important and widely used tasks in field monitoring is plant stand counting. The accurate identification of plants in field images provides estimates of plant number per unit area, detects missing seedlings, and predicts crop yield.

Insects enhance aerodynamic flight control using the dynamic movement of their appendages, aiding in balance, stability, and manoeuvrability. Although biologists have observed these behaviours, the phenomena have not been expressed in a unified mathematical flight dynamics framework. For instance, relevant existing models tend to disregard either the aerodynamic or the inertial effects of the appendages of insects, such as the abdomen, based on the assumption that appendage dynamic effects dominate in comparison to aerodynamic effects, or that appendages are stationary.

and mosquitoes, known for spreading arboviruses like dengue and West Nile, thrive in cities, posing health risks to urban populations. Climate change can create suitable climatic conditions for these vectors to spread further in Europe. Cities contain numerous landscape and infrastructure elements, such as storm drains, that allow stagnant water build-up facilitating mosquito breeding.

The prepared foods sector has grown rapidly in recent years, driven by the fast pace of modern living and increasing consumer demand for convenience. Prepared foods are taking an increasingly important role in the modern catering industry due to their ease of storage, transportation, and operation. However, their processing faces several challenges, including labor shortages, inefficient sorting, inadequate cleaning, unsafe cutting processes, and a lack of industry standards.
