Foliar Uptake of Biocides: Statistical Assessment of Compartmental and Diffusion-Based Models
The global population increase leads to a high food demand, and to reach this target products such as pesticides are needed to protect the crops. Research is focusing on the development of new products that can be less harmful to the environment, and mathematical models are tools that can help to understand the mechanism of uptake of pesticides and then guide in the product development phase. This paper applies a systematic methodology to model the foliar uptake of pesticides, to take into account the uncertainties in the experimental data and in the model structure. A comparison between different models is conducted, focusing on the identifiability of model parameters through dynamic sensitivity profiles and correlation analysis. Lastly, data augmentation studies are conducted to exploit the model for the design of experiments and to provide a practical support to future experimental campaigns, paving the way for further application of model-based design of experiments techniques in the context of foliar uptake.

Image Quality Assessment for Foliar Disease Identification (AgroPath)
Crop diseases are a major threat to food security and their rapid identification is important to prevent yield loss. Swift identification of these diseases are difficult due to the lack of necessary infrastructure. Recen…
Image Quality AssessmentEffect of Different Concentration and Application Method of Zinc on Yield of Chickpea (Pisum Sativum L.)
This study evaluated the impact of Zinc (Zn) supplementation on the growth, yield, and seed quality of chickpea (Pisum sativum L.) under the semi-arid conditions of Kerman, Iran, across two growing seasons (2021-2022). A…
Role of word-of-mouth for programs of voluntary vaccination: A game-theoretic approach
We propose a model describing the synergetic feedback between word-of-mouth (WoM) and epidemic dynamics controlled by voluntary vaccination. We combine a game-theoretic model for the spread of WoM and a compartmental mod…
BioLeaf: a professional mobile application to measure foliar damage caused by insect herbivory
Soybean is one of the ten greatest crops in the world, answering for billion-dollar businesses every year. This crop suffers from insect herbivory that costs millions from producers. Hence, constant monitoring of the cro…
Localized FDG loss in lung cancer lesions
Purpose: Analysis of [18F]-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) kinetics in cancer has been most often limited to the evaluation of the average uptake over relatively large volumes. Nevertheless, tumor lesion almost contains inflamm…
