Nutrient Solution and Harvest Age of Hydroponic Maize Fodder: Potential Influence on Chemical Composition, Rumen Digestion and Mitigation of Gas, CH4 and CO2 Emissions in Brahman Bulls

Forage scarcity, especially during dry periods, limits feed availability for livestock systems, affecting the productivity and sustainability of animal production. The aim of this investigation was to determine the effect of three harvest ages (8, 10 and 12 days) and five nutrien...

YOLOv11–BiFPN–DAAF: An Object Detection Framework for Automated Surface Inspection of Balsa Wood Panels

Automated surface inspection of balsa wood panels is challenging because defects may be small, elongated, weakly contrasted, or visually similar to natural grain patterns. This study proposes YOLOv11–BiFPN–DAAF, an enhanced object-detection architecture that combines bidirectiona...
