Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesApplication of Data Enhancement Method Based on Generative Adversarial Networks for Soybean Leaf Disease IdentificationXiao Yu, Cong Chen, Qi Gong, Lina LuSoybean leaf disease data collection is an expensive and time-consuming task. Convolutional neural network training requires a large amount of data, but traditional data enhancement methods (such as rotation, flipping, translation) are restricted by fixed rules and cannot generate images with diversity and variability. Aiming at the problem of the lack of soybean leaf disease data set, this study proposes … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 4 · 26 Nov 2022 · 5,207 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesBayesian Analysis of Longitudinal Ordinal Data Using Non-Identifiable Multivariate Probit ModelsXiao ZhangMultivariate probit models have been explored foranalyzing longitudinal ordinal data. However, the inherent identification issuein multivariate probit models requires the covariance matrix of the underlyinglatent multivariate normal variables to be a correlation matrix and thushinders the development of efficient Bayesian sampling methods. It is knownthat non-identifiable models may produce Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)samplers with better convergence and mixing than … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 14 Nov 2022 · 6,044 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAutomatic Diagnosis of Soybean Leaf Disease by Transfer LearningXiao Yu, Qi Gong, Cong Chen, Lina LuSoybean diseases and insect pests are important factors that affect the output and quality of soybeans, thus it is necessary to do correct inspection and diagnosis of them. For this reason, based on improved transfer learning, this study proposed a classification method for soybean leaf diseases. Firstly, leaves were segmented from the whole image after removing the complicated background images. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 2 · 29 Jun 2022 · 5,807 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesEffects of Different Drying Methods on Antioxidant Activity of Polysaccharides from Antler MushroomBing Xu, Yi Dai, Shiyu Xu et al.In this study, three polysaccharides (AMP-H, AMP-V and AMP-F) were obtained from polysaccharides of Antler Mushroom (AMP) by hot air drying, vacuum drying and freeze drying, respectively. The chemical composition and antioxidant capacity of AMP-H, AMP-V and AMP-F were investigated. The results showed that the AMP was an acidic polysaccharide containing a small amount of protein. The drying method did … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 15 Jul 2021 · 7,243 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesCharacterization of Crude Polyphenol Oxidase Activity in Buckwheat SproutsYuedong Song, Yangfang Zhang, Yilin Wang et al.Buckwheat sprouts can not only effectively reduce the trypsin inhibitor in buckwheat grain, but also improve the content of bioactive ingredients such as flavonoids and other effective components. However, Polyphenol Oxidase (PPO) in buckwheat sprouts causes browning of food, which limits the application of buckwheat sprouts in food. In addressing this problem, studying the characteristics of PPO in buckwheat sprouts … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2021 · 6,486 accessesView PDFCite
