Abstract<p> Weed control with chemicals is a challenging process that should be performed in a rational way to reduce their negative impact on the surrounding environment. The growth of artificial intelligence algorithms encourages researchers to develop smart spraying robots that detect and spray weeds and distinguish them from the main crop which leads to sustainable use of these chemicals and achieves some of the sustainable development goals. However, few studies are available to comprehensively compare different versions of YOLO algorithm to detect weed. In this research, seven versions of YOLO algorithms were evaluated for their performance to detect and spray four types of weeds, namely, Cultivated licorice ( <italic>Glycyrrhiza glabra</italic> L.), Dyer’s Croton ( <italic>Chrozophora verbascifolia</italic> ), Lambsquarters ( <italic>Chenopodium album</italic> L.), and Puncturevine ( <italic>Tribulus terrestris</italic> L.) using a locally manufactured remotely controlled spraying robot. The results showed that YOLOv6n surpassed other algorithms which achieved the highest precision (0.89), recall (0.80), F1-score (0.84), mAp@0.50 (0.86), inference speed (18.83 fps), in addition to the field indicators including true positive rate (0.83), false negative rate (0.17), false positive rate (0.19), true negative rate (0.81). </p>

In this article four samples of HgBa2Ca2Cu2.4Ag0.6O8+δ were prepared and irradiated with different doses of gamma radiation 6, 8 and 10 Mrad. The effects of gamma irradiation on structure of HgBa2Ca2Cu2.4Ag0.6O8+δ samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction. It was concluded that there effect on structure by gamma irradiation. Scherrer, crystallization, and Williamson equations were applied based on the X-ray diffraction diagram and for all gamma doses, to calculate crystal size, strain, and degree of crystallinity. I
