Heterogeneous-Grained Multi-Modal Graph Network for Outfit Recommendation

With more consumers opting to purchase outfits online, a challenge facing e-commerce providers is to effectively model the compatibility of the outfits being recommended to the user. Existing models mainly consider the propagation of information within visual and textual modalities of the outfit, and overlook the intrinsic compatibility and connection among items within the outfit and across multiple category views. To address these issues, we propose a Heterogeneous-Grained Multi-Modal Graph Network (HMGN) model to capture the style-compatible relationships among items with various category views. The HMGN is constructed with two graph neural networks from coarse-grained and fine-grained category views of the outfit. Additionally, we develop a mixed category granularity fusion method for the HMGN to learn interactions among items in both single-grained and cross-grained views during propagation. Thus, the HMGN achieves collaborative information propagation across different category-grained views. Comprehensive tests show that the HMGN approach outperforms the state-of-the-art methods on both the Polyvore Outfits-ND and the Polyvore Outfits-D datasets.
Flood risk management centred on clusters of territorial vulnerability

ABSTRACT Traditionally, risk management has been focused on the control of hazards. However, this field of research is now more aimed at reducing vulnerability. Methodology for gaining accurate knowledge of territorial vulnerability is proposed here. It is available for all types of hazard and applicable to any territory. It is based on a census of elements at risk and uses expert weighting to define vulnerability, relying on semi-structured interviews with local stakeholders. Finally, spatial statistics are used to highlight key areas of a town with clusters of higher vulnerability. This method is applied in this article to Greater Lyon urban area, in France.
Aphidius colemani Behavior Changes Depending on Volatile Organic Compounds Emitted by Plants Infected with Viruses with Different Modes of Transmission

Simple Summary Plant viruses and other pathogens manipulate their hosts to alter the attractiveness and palatability of their insect vectors, thereby enhancing their own spread. For instance, melon plants infected with cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), a non-persistent virus, release specific volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that attract their primary vector, Aphis gossypii. These volatiles, emitted after aphid colonization, often act as a “cry for help” signal, attracting natural enemies. Surprisingly, studies have not delved into how aphid parasitoids respond to VOCs emitted by plants infected with viruses with different modes of transmission: non-persistent, persistent, or a combination of both. In our investigation, we explored how single and mixed infections with CMV (non-persistent virus) or/and cucurbit aphid-borne yellowing virus (CABYV, persistent virus) modify the attractiveness of Aphidius colemani to aphid-free and aphid-infested melon plants. These experiments highlight the need for further investigation into the complexities of parasitoid behavior, providing insights into the long evolutionary processes shaping plant–aphid–parasitoid interactions and their impact on virus transmission dynamics. Abstract Natural enemies are an additional component that may interact directly with the plant–virus–vector association, affecting viral dispersion. In our study, we conducted olfactometry assays to explore how single and mixed infections with CMV or/and CABYV modify the attractiveness of A. colemani to aphid-free and aphid-infested melon plants using two melon genotypes. Subsequently, we investigated the influence of CABYV-infected plants infested by A. gossypii on the parasitism rate and emergence of A. colemani in a dual-choice assay under greenhouse conditions. Our study demonstrates that males showed no preference for either infected or non-infected plants. Female parasitoids exhibit a preference for volatiles emitted by CMV and mixed-infected melon plants over clean air but not over mock-inoculated plants, suggesting a response influenced by plant genotype. Female parasitoid responses to CABYV and its interactions with aphids revealed a preference for mock-inoculated plants over CABYV-infected plants and a parasitism rate slightly higher (7.12%) on non-infected plants. Our study revealed that (1) parasitoids may reject olfactory cues from CABYV-infected plants, potentially interfering with the plant’s “cry for help” response; (2) in the case of CMV, whether in single or mixed infections, non-infected plants are as attractive as infected ones to parasitoids. Our findings suggest that persistent viruses manipulate aphid parasitoid behavior to their advantage, promoting virus disease in melon crops.
Effectiveness of Raja Yoga Meditation on Depression, Anxiety and Stress in Females with Premenstrual Syndrome

The current study was undertaken to observe the effectiveness of Raja Yoga Meditation on depression, anxiety and stress in females with premenstrual syndrome. In the present study, a total of 8 participants were recruited and the participants served as self-controls. After recording the baseline values in premenstrual period (7 days before menstruation) of menstrual cycle, participants were trained Raja yoga meditation for a week days and then they have practiced for once in a day for six days in a week for 8 weeks under the supervision of a trainer. Post-intervention values were recorded after 8 weeks during premenstrual period. The following criteria were used in the selection of the participants. Results were presented in table no 1 and 2. Table no 1 present's demographic data of the participants and table no 2 present's depression, anxiety and stress scores before and after the intervention. There was a significant decrease in the scores of depression, anxiety and stress followed by the meditation (P<0.05). The study provides further evidence for the beneficial effects of practicing Raja yoga meditation in the management of stress. We recommend detailed studies in this area with more parameters and also recommend practicing the meditation in the regular life style.
Study on the Degradation Effect of Carbonaceous Shale under the Coupling Effect of Chemical Erosion and High Temperature

The southwest region of China has abundant groundwater and high-temperature geothermal energy. Carbonaceous shale, as one of the typical surrounding rocks in this region, often suffers from deterioration effects due to the coupled action of groundwater chemical erosion and high temperature, which affects the long-term stability of tunnel engineering. In order to investigate the deterioration effects of carbonaceous shale under the coupled action of chemical erosion and high temperature, carbonaceous shale from a tunnel of Lixiang Railway in Yunnan Province was taken as the research object. The microstructure and mineral composition of the samples before and after chemical erosion were obtained with a scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive spectrometer and an X-ray diffraction test. Then, triaxial compression tests were conducted on the samples under different time points and different temperature effects of chemical erosion, and the stress–strain curves and the deterioration laws under a single factor were obtained. An improved numerical simulation method based on the parallel bond model was developed, which can account for the coupled effects of chemical erosion and high temperature on the rock. By simulating the triaxial compression test of carbonaceous shale, the deterioration law of carbonaceous shale under the coupled action was discussed. The results show that chemical erosion has a significant deterioration effect on the triaxial compressive strength of carbonaceous shale, and the degree of deterioration is related to the erosion time. In the first 30 days of erosion, the triaxial compressive strength of carbonaceous shale decreased by 11.38%, which was the largest deterioration range. With the increase in erosion time, the deterioration rate gradually decreased; temperature had a significant threshold effect on the strength of carbonaceous shale, and a clear turning point appeared at about 200 °C. By simulating the deterioration effects of carbonaceous shale under the coupled action of chemical erosion and high temperature, it was found that the longer the duration of chemical erosion, the stronger the temperature sensitivity of carbonaceous shale, and the more serious the loss of compressive strength during the heating process. When the temperature was low, the strength of carbonaceous shale changed little, and some samples even showed an increase in strength; when the temperature was high, the strength of carbonaceous shale decreased significantly, showing deterioration characteristics. The numerical simulation method was compared and verified with the indoor test results, and it was found that the numerical calculation had a good agreement with the test results.
Micronutrient Composition of Selected Indigenous foodcrops in Okigwe Local Government Area, Imo State

This study assessed micronutrient profile of selected indigenous foodcrops. The selected foodcrops includes Nchuanwu(Ocimumgratissimum), Ukazi (Gnetumafricanum), Utazi (Gongronemalatifolium), Uziza (Piper guineense), Ofe (Solanummacrocapon), Okwurubekee(Carica papaya), Ukpa (Tetracapidiumconophorum), Onugbu (Vernoniaamygdalina), and Ugu (Telferiaoccidentalis) which were purchased from a local market in OkigweLocal Government Area of Imo state. The proximate and micronutrient composition of the foodcrops were determined by official method of AOAC; while means and standard deviation were used to analyze the data variables. These indigenous foodcrops were found to be good and cheap sources of micronutrient (zinc, iron, calcium, and vitamin A) and protein. However, they contain some anti-nutrients such as phytate and tannins which are within normal range. The result confirms that our indigenous fruit, seeds and vegetables are good sources of important minerals and vitamins. There is need for massive enlightenment of the populace and policy makers for increase in production, better processing, preservation and consumption of these indigenous foodcrops.
Recent Large-scale Forest Fires in Boreal Forests and Climate Change

The boreal forest (Taiga) occupies one-third of the world’s forest area. During summer, the risk of fire is high in this region due to relatively low rainfall (average <300mm); Kasischke (2000). Recent trends toward warmer, drier summers associated with global climate change are expected to increase the number and size of boreal forest fires; Campbell and Flannigan (2000). Recent regional fire events appear to support these predictions. In 2002, many large-scale forest fires occurred near Yakutsk, the capital of the Sakha Republic in Siberia, burning a total area estimated at over 23,000km 2 -the largest reported in Sakha since 1955 and about ten times greater than mean burnt area, or about 2,400km 2 . In 2003, forests burned near the Baikal Lake in Siberia were especially severe, and burnt area in Russia (Siberia) totaled in excess of 234,000km 2 . In 2004, many large-scale forest fires occurred in Alaska due to record-breaking lightning strikes aggravated by severe drought conditions and the occurrence of foehn winds. The total burnt area in 2004 was about 26,000km 2 , the largest on historical record since 1956. In 2005, many large-scale forest fires recurred in Alaska. Many fires became very active in the middle of August due to drought and foehn winds. The total burnt area in 2005 was about 26,000km 2 , the third largest area since 1956. Active fire occurrence of two consecutive years has seldom occurred. Trends in and features of large forest-fire occurrence and weather hold the key to understanding how climate change may affect boreal ecosystems, and fire in the boreal forest is now being actively researched. Kasischke et al. (2002) studied the patterns of large fires over the last 50 years in Alaska by analyzing the large-fire database (LFDB) and other information. The influence of El Niño weather events was investigated by Hess et al. (2001), who concluded that many of the largest fire years occurred during or just after a warm ENSO episode. Stevens and Dallison (2005) urged that recent climate change in the boreal forest could substantially impact on the number and size of wildfires in Alaska and should be more thoroughly studied. New fire-management strategies may need to be explored under climate change to protect crucial wildlife habitats, subsistence resources, and human inhabitants in the boreal forest from incendiary impacts. The authors are now seeking strategies through comparative studies of forest fires and weather in Alaska, North America, and Sakha, Far Eastern Siberia.
Flocculation behaviour of bioflocculant produced from chicken viscera

The flocculation performance of bioflocculant produced by Aspergillus flavus S44-1 grown on chicken viscera hydrolysate was investigated. The investigations were carried out using jar testing and kaolin clay suspension as model wastewater. The bioflocculant yielded a minimum of 83.1% efficiency in flocculating 2-12 g L-1 kaolin clay suspension over a wide temperature range (4-80 °C) and functioned maximally at neutral pH. The bioflocculant significantly flocculated different suspended particles such as activated carbon (92%), soil solid (94.8%), and algae (69.4%) at varying concentrations. Bridging mediated by cation is suggested as the main mechanism of flocculation by the present bioflocculant.
A method for the design of embedded cantilever retaining walls under static and seismic loading

A simple-to-use method is proposed for the design of embedded cantilever retaining walls in cohesionless soils under static and seismic conditions. Taking into account the displacement pattern generally exhibited by this type of structure, which consists of an approximately rigid rotation around a point located close to the wall base, it is assumed that active and passive pressures are fully mobilised up to a certain depth from the excavation level. Below this depth, a simplified distribution of earth pressure is considered, with values that are not predetermined by limit state. Analytical expressions are provided to calculate readily the net pressures acting on the wall and the associated internal forces arising in the structure. Comparisons are made with numerical and experimental results concerning embedded cantilever retaining walls under static and seismic conditions. In all the cases considered, a fairly good agreement is found between these results and those predicted by the proposed method. Some a.

High Arctic geopotential stress field and implications for geodynamic evolution

Abstract We use new models of crustal structure and the depth of the lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary to calculate the geopotential energy and its corresponding geopotential stress field for the High Arctic. Palaeostress indicators such as dykes and rifts of known age are used to compare the present day and palaeostress fields. When both stress fields coincide, a minimum age for the configuration of the lithospheric stress field may be defined. We identify three regions in which this is observed. In north Greenland and the eastern Amerasia Basin, the stress field is probably the same as that present during the Late Cretaceous. In western Siberia, the stress field is similar to that in the Triassic. The stress directions on the eastern Russian Arctic Shelf and the Amerasia Basin are similar to that in the Cretaceous. The persistent misfit of the present stress field and Early Cretaceous dyke swarms associated with the High Arctic Large Igneous Province indicates a short-lived transient change in the stress field at the time of dyke emplacement. Most Early Cretaceous rifts in the Amerasia Basin coincide with the stress field, suggesting that dyking and rifting were unrelated. We present new evidence for dykes and a graben structure of Early Cretaceous age on Bennett Island.
An Ultrasensitive Room-Temperature H2 Sensor Based on a TiO2 Rutile–Anatase Homojunction

Metal oxide semiconductor hetero- and homojunctions are commonly constructed to improve the performance of hydrogen sensors at room temperature. In this study, a simple two-step hydrothermal method was employed to prepare TiO2 films with homojunctions of rutile and anatase phases (denoted as TiO2-R/A). Then, the microstructure of anatase-phase TiO2 was altered by controlling the amount of hydrochloric acid to realize a more favorable porous structure for charge transport and a larger surface area for contact with H2. The sensor used a Pt interdigital electrode. At an optimal HCl dosage (25 mL), anatase-phase TiO2 uniformly covered rutile-phase TiO2 nanorods, resulting in a greater response to H2 at 2500 ppm compared with that of a rutile TiO2 nanorod sensor by a factor of 1153. The response time was 21 s, mainly because the homojunction formed by the TiO2 rutile and anatase phases increased the synergistic effect of the charge transfer and potential barrier between the two phases, resulting in the formation of more superoxide (O2−) free radicals on the surface. Furthermore, the porous structure increased the surface area for H2 adsorption. The TiO2-R/A-based sensor exhibited high selectivity, long-term stability, and a fast response. This study provides new insights into the design of commercially competitive hydrogen sensors.
Understanding the role of AMPA receptors in autism: insights from circuit and synapse dysfunction

Autism spectrum disorders represent a diverse etiological spectrum that converge on a syndrome characterized by discrepant deficits in developmental domains often highlighted by concerns in socialization, sensory integration, and autonomic functioning. Importantly, the incidence and prevalence of autism spectrum disorders have seen sharp increases since the syndrome was first described in the 1940s. The wide etiological spectrum and rising number of individuals being diagnosed with the condition lend urgency to capturing a more nuanced understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms underlying the autism spectrum disorders. The current review seeks to understand how the disruption of AMPA receptor (AMPAr)-mediated neurotransmission in the cerebro-cerebellar circuit, particularly in genetic autism related to SHANK3 or SYNGAP1 protein dysfunction function and autism associated with in utero exposure to the anti-seizure medications valproic acid and topiramate, may contribute to the disease presentation. Initially, a discussion contextualizing AMPAr signaling in the cerebro-cerebellar circuitry and microstructural circuit considerations is offered. Subsequently, a detailed review of the literature implicating mutations or deletions of SHANK3 and SYNGAP1 in disrupted AMPAr signaling reveals how bidirectional pathogenic modulation of this key circuit may contribute to autism. Finally, how pharmacological exposure may interact with this pathway, via increased risk of autism diagnosis with valproic acid and topiramate exposure and potential treatment of autism using AMPAr modulator perampanel, is discussed. Through the lens of the review, we will offer speculation on how neuromodulation may be used as a rational adjunct to therapy. Together, the present review seeks to synthesize the disparate considerations of circuit understanding, genetic etiology, and pharmacological modulation to understand the mechanistic interaction of this important and complex disorder.
Characteristics and Efficiency Analysis of Evolutionary Seoul Metropolitan Subway Network

The metropolitan subway network of Seoul has gone through many evolutionary processes in past decades to disperse the floating population and improve the traffic flow. In this study, we analyzed how the structural characteristics and the efficiency of the subway network have changed according to the dynamic evolutionary processes of the metropolitan subway network of Seoul. We have also proposed new measures that can be used to characterize the structural properties of the subway network more practically. It is shown that the global efficiency is about 74%, which is higher than those of subway networks of foreign countries. It should also be considered that passenger flow between stations is even higher, at about 85%. Since the private lines, including line 9, the New Bundang line, the Uijeongbu line, and the Ever line do not release their traffic data since September, 2013, only 5 years of data from September, 2008 to September, 2013 is available. So, in this study we limit the analysis period to these 5 years.

Brain dysfunction in chronic pain patients assessed by resting-state electroencephalography

Chronic pain is a common and severely disabling disease whose treatment is often unsatisfactory. Insights into the brain mechanisms of chronic pain promise to advance the understanding of the underlying pathophysiology and might help to develop disease markers and novel treatments. Here, we systematically and comprehensively exploited the potential of electroencephalography (EEG) to determine abnormalities of brain function during the resting state in chronic pain. To this end, we performed state-of-the-art analyses of oscillatory brain activity, brain connectivity and brain networks in 101 patients of either sex suffering from chronic pain. The results show that global and local measures of brain activity did not differ between chronic pain patients and a healthy control group. However, we observed significantly increased connectivity at theta (4 – 8 Hz) and gamma (> 60 Hz) frequencies in frontal brain areas as well as global network reorganization at gamma frequencies in chronic pain patients. Furthermore, a machine learning algorithm could differentiate between patients and healthy controls with an above-chance accuracy of 57%, mostly based on frontal connectivity. These results implicate increased theta and gamma synchrony in frontal brain areas in the pathophysiology of chronic pain. While substantial challenges concerning accuracy, specificity and validity of potential EEG-based disease markers remain to be overcome, our study identifies abnormal frontal synchrony at theta and gamma frequencies as promising targets for non-invasive brain stimulation and/or neurofeedback approaches.
