A Hybrid Multitask Learning Network for Hyperspectral Image Classification With Few Labels

Recently, the field of hyperspectral image (HSI) classification has witnessed advancements with the emergence of deep learning models. Promising approaches, such as self-supervised strategies and domain adaptation, have effectively tackled the overfitting challenges posed by limited labeled samples in HSI classification. To extract comprehensive semantic information from different types of auxiliary tasks, which view the problem from multiple perspectives, and efficiently integrate multiple tasks into a single network, this article proposes a hybrid multitask learning (MTL) framework (HyMuT) by sharing representations across multiple tasks. Based on the similarity between the data and the target classification task, we construct three auxiliary tasks that are similar, related, and weakly correlated to the target task, while three corresponding MTL methods are integrated. The framework establishes a backbone network with a hard parameter sharing mechanism, which handles the main task and a similar spatial mask classification task. Subsequently, a hierarchical transfer MTL approach is introduced to transfer the knowledge of a spatial-spectral joint mask reconstruction task from the autoencoder to the backbone network. Furthermore, a new source domain HSI dataset is introduced as an auxiliary task weakly correlated. To solve the source domain classification task and assist the hard parameter sharing mechanism, a dual adversarial classifier based on adversarial learning is employed. This classifier effectively extracts domain and task invariance. Extensive experiments are conducted on four benchmark HSI datasets to evaluate the performance. The results demonstrate that HyMuT outperforms state-of-the-art methods. This code will be available from the website: https://github.com/HaoLiu-XDU/HyMuT.
Survey on Nutrition in Neurological Intensive Care Units (SONNIC)—A Cross-Sectional Survey among German-Speaking Neurointensivists on Medical Nutritional Therapy

Medical nutritional therapy (MNT) in neurointensive care units (NICUs) is both particularly relevant and challenging due to prolonged analgosedation, immobilization, disorders of consciousness, and the high prevalence of dysphagia. Moreover, current guideline recommendations predominantly address the general intensive care unit (ICU) population, overlooking specific characteristics of neurological patients. We, therefore, conducted a web-based, cross-sectional survey for German-speaking neurointensivists mapping the clinical practices of MNT on NICUs to identify research gaps and common grounds for future clinical trials. A total of 25.9% (56/216) NICU representatives responded to our questionnaire. A total of 78.2% (43/55) were neurologist and 63% (34/54) held a leadership role. Overall, 80.4% (41/51) had established a standard operating procedure (SOP), largely based on the DGEM-Guideline (53.7%; 22/41), followed by the ESPEN-Guideline (14.6%; 6/41). Upon admission, 36% (18/50) conducted a risk stratification, with 83.3% primarily relying on past medical history (15/18) and clinical gestalt (15/18). Energy expenditure (EE) was measured or calculated by 75% (36/48), with 72.2% (26/36) using pragmatic weight-based equations. Indirect calorimetry was used by 19.4% (7/36). A total of 83.3% (30/36) used the patient’s serum glucose level as the primary biomarker to monitor metabolic tolerance. SOPs regarding ICU-Acquired Weakness (ICUAW) were found in 8.9% (4/45) of respondents. Overall, guideline adherence was 47%. In summary, this is, to the best of our knowledge, the first study systematically describing the currently applied concepts of MNT on NICUs. The data reveal great variations in the implementation of guideline recommendations, indicating the need for further research and tailored approaches to optimize nutritional therapy in neurointensive care settings.
The Emerging Pathogen Candida metapsilosis: Biological Aspects, Virulence Factors, Diagnosis, and Treatment

Abstract Fungal infections represent a constant and growing menace to public health. This concern is due to the emergence of new fungal species and the increase in antifungal drug resistance. Mycoses caused by Candida species are among the most common nosocomial infections and are associated with high mortality rates when the infection affects deep-seated organs. Candida metapsilosis is part of the Candida parapsilosis complex and has been described as part of the oral microbiota of healthy individuals. Within the complex, this species is considered the least virulent; however, the prevalence has been increasing in recent years, as well as an increment in the resistance to some antifungal drugs. One of the main concerns of candidiasis caused by this species is the wide range of clinical manifestations, ranging from tissue colonization to superficial infections, and in more severe cases it can spread, which makes diagnosis and treatment difficult. The study of virulence factors of this species is limited, however, proteomic comparisons between species indicate that virulence factors in this species could be similar to those already described for C. albicans. However, differences may exist, taking into account changes in the lifestyle of the species. Here, we provide a detailed review of the current literature about this organism, the caused disease, and some sharing aspects with other members of the complex, focusing on its biology, virulence factors, the host-fungus interaction, the identification, diagnosis, and treatment of infection.
Influence of outer-rise faults on shallow décollement heterogeneity and sediment flux at the Japan trench

We investigate the impact of outer-rise normal fault subduction on the structural evolution of the décollement and frontal prism in a portion of the Japan trench that hosted the 2011 Tohoku earthquake. We use seismic reflection data to map the relative occurrence of sediment accretion, sediment subduction, and frontal tectonic erosion in the shallow portion of the subduction zone and correlate these deformation styles to the magnitude of outer-rise fault throw and incoming plate sediment thickness. These data reveal spatial heterogeneity in the modes of deformation over distances of 5-10 km that necessitate correlative heterogeneity in the geometry and composition of the shallow décollement over similar length-scales. We find that sediment accretion predominantly occurs in regions where incoming plate sediment thickness is greater than fault throw. In these areas, the décollement appears to be non-planar and compositionally homogenous. Conversely, frontal tectonic erosion and slope failures are predominantly observed in regions where fault throw is greater than sediment thickness. In these areas, the décollement may be planar but compositionally heterogeneous. Additionally, spatial variations in near trench slip appear to correlate with the dominant deformation modes, suggesting that both sediment thickness and outer-rise fault throw may be important controls on shallow megathrust behavior.
The effects of moist entropy and moisture budgets on tropical cyclone development

This paper examines the moist entropy and moisture budgets in tropical cyclones, as well as their relation to tropical cyclone's development. This analysis focuses on the dropsonde data collected during Hurricane and Severe Storm Sentinel project and the accompanying satellite data. Two tropical cyclones of interest are Tropical Storm Gabrielle (2013) and Hurricane Edouard (2014). There were three research flights into Gabrielle (2013), during its nondeveloping and decaying stages. Edouard (2014) was visited four times in different stages of its life cycle, twice during the intensification and twice during the decay. Also, we extended our analysis on the larger data set, consisting of 11 nonintensifying and 12 intensifying systems. Our study shows that the moist entropy tends to increase during intensification and decrease during nonintensifying stages. On the other hand, the moisture budget relates better to the tropical cyclone's current intensity than its development. The sign of the moist entropy tendency depends on the ability of surface fluxes and irreversible moist entropy generation to overcome lateral export of moist entropy and loss due to radiative cooling. Edouard's decay during the last research flight was likely the result of increasing wind shear and low sea surface temperatures. During its decay, Gabrielle had strong column‐integrated lateral export of moist entropy and drying between 1 and 4 km height. This is probably the consequence of a dry environment at multiple levels, amplified by a warm and dry anomaly left behind by previous convective activity.
Thermal equation of state of hcp‐iron: Constraint on the density deficit of Earth's solid inner core

We conducted high‐pressure experiments on hexagonal close packed iron (hcp‐Fe) in MgO, NaCl, and Ne pressure‐transmitting media and found general agreement among the experimental data at 300 K that yield the best fitted values of the bulk modulus K0 = 172.7(±1.4) GPa and its pressure derivative K0′ = 4.79(±0.05) for hcp‐Fe, using the third‐order Birch‐Murnaghan equation of state. Using the derived thermal pressures for hcp‐Fe up to 100 GPa and 1800 K and previous shockwave Hugoniot data, we developed a thermal equation of state of hcp‐Fe. The thermal equation of state of hcp‐Fe is further used to calculate the densities of iron along adiabatic geotherms to define the density deficit of the inner core, which serves as the basis for developing quantitative composition models of the Earth's inner core. We determine the density deficit at the inner core boundary to be 3.6%, assuming an inner core boundary temperature of 6000 K.
Effects of nails and facing plates on seismic slope response and failure

A rock bolt with a facing plate is one of the soil nailing methods against relatively shallow sliding failure, which can be applied to natural slopes without cutting trees. In this research, dynamic centrifuge model tests were conducted to study the reinforcement mechanism of the nailing with individual facing plates and the effects of facing plate width, bolt spacing and bolt inclination angle on the seismic stability of reinforced slope. From the test results, it was confirmed that the facing plate resistance works well against the seismic load, which suppresses the slope deformation during shaking, and the mobilised resistance increases with increasing plate size. Plate bearing failure and local surface failure are critical failure mechanisms. The bearing failure could occur for small plates, while for relatively large plates, the local failure causes reduction of plate resistance and triggers large deformation and slip failure of the slope. These failures could be controlled by slope acceleration and .
Perspectives in architected infrastructure materials

This paper presents perspectives and progress in the emerging field of architected infrastructure materials. Recent developments in advanced and additive manufacturing with construction materials have led to new capabilities to define, design, and shape the internal arrangement and overall morphology of materials. In contrast to conventional casting techniques used in the construction of civil engineering materials, such advancements have allowed for purposeful designs of materials into specific morphologies across scales, referred to as architected infrastructure materials. Contrary to monolithic construction materials, architected materials present new opportunities to engineer enhanced mechanical properties and unique performance characteristics in civil infrastructure components through design. Here, we present an overview of the field and the research gaps in design, manufacturing, and materials mechanics. An overview of a few design opportunities, including bio-inspired strategies is discussed. Current advancements in the field are presented focusing on cement-based, non-hydraulic, and cementitious composite architected materials. The existing studies on bouligand, cellular, lattice, auxetic, tabulated, and gradient architected construction materials and their mechanically advantageous characteristics are reviewed. The future directions and perspectives for the field are outlined with respect to the current research gaps and upcoming opportunities.
Cumulative toxic effect and identification of non-toxic dose of Allium sativum (Garlic) and Withania somnifera (Ashwagantha) in Native chicken

The present study was conducted to explore the cumulative toxic effects and the non-toxic doses of Allium sativum and Withania somnifera individually and in combination in native chicken. Eighty native chicks divided into ten groups and they were supplemented with A.sativum bulb powder @ 0.5%, 1.5% and 3% and W.somnifera root powder @ 1%, 3% and 5% and their selected three combination doses in feed from 15th day to four months of age. The cumulative dose toxic effects of herbs on vital organs were assessed by estimation of liver function enzymes (SGOT and SGPT) and kidney function parameters (uric acid and creatinine) in UV double beam Spectrophotometer. The data were analysed in one way ANOVA using SPSS software. The significant (P< 0.05) differences with was not observed in liver function enzymes value of all groups whereas higher serum uric acid (5.20 ± 0.10 mg/dL) than control group (3.24± 0.05 mg/dL) recorded in A.sativum - 3% group. On conclusion, except 3% A. sativum dose, other dose of both herbs can be used safely without affecting native chicken performance.

Molecular and microstructural inventory of an isolated fossil bird feather from the Eocene Fur Formation of Denmark

An isolated, yet virtually intact contour feather (FUM‐1980) from the lower Eocene Fur Formation of Denmark was analysed using multiple imaging and molecular techniques, including field emission gun scanning electron microscopy (FEG‐SEM), X‐ray absorption spectroscopy and time‐of‐flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF‐SIMS). Additionally, synchrotron radiation X‐ray tomographic microscopy (SRXTM) was employed in order to produce a digital reconstruction of the fossil. Under FEG‐SEM, the proximal, plumulaceous part of the feather revealed masses of ovoid microstructures, about 1.7 μm long and 0.5 μm wide. Microbodies in the distal, pennaceous portion were substantially smaller (averaging 0.9 × 0.2 μm), highly elongate, and more densely packed. Generally, the microbodies in both the plumulaceous and pennaceous segments were aligned along the barbs and located within shallow depressions on the exposed surfaces. Biomarkers consistent with animal eumelanins were co‐localized with the microstructures, to suggest that they represent remnant eumelanosomes (i.e. eumelanin‐housing cellular organelles). Additionally, ToF‐SIMS analysis revealed the presence of sulfur‐containing organics – potentially indicative of pheomelanins – associated with eumelanin‐like compounds. However, since there was no correlation between melanosome morphology and sulfur content, we conclude these molecular structures derive from diagenetically incorporated sulfur rather than pheomelanin. Melanosomes corresponding roughly in both size and morphology with those in the proximal part of FUM‐1980 are known from contour feathers of extant parrots (Psittaciformes), an avian clade that has previously been reported from the Fur Formation.
Reactive oxygen species may be involved in the distinctive biological effects of different doses of 12C6+ ion beams on Arabidopsis

Introduction Heavy ion beam is a novel approach for crop mutagenesis with the advantage of high energy transfer line density and low repair effect after injury, however, little investigation on the biological effect on plant was performed. 50 Gy irradiation significantly stimulated the growth of Arabidopsis seedlings, as indicated by an increase in root and biomass, while 200 Gy irradiation significantly inhibited the growth of seedlings, causing a visible decrease in plant growth. Methods The Arabidopsis seeds were irradiated by 12C6+. Monte Carlo simulations were used to calculate the damage to seeds and particle trajectories by ion implantation. The seed epidermis received SEM detection and changes in its organic composition were detected using FTIR. Evidence of ROS and antioxidant systems were analyzed. RNA-seq and qPCR were used to detect changes in seedling transcript levels. Results and discussion Monte Carlo simulations revealed that high-dose irradiation causes various damage. Evidence of ROS and antioxidant systems implies that the emergence of phenotypes in plant cells may be associated with oxidative stress. Transcriptomic analysis of the seedlings demonstrated that 170 DEGs were present in the 50 Gy and 200 Gy groups and GO enrichment indicated that they were mainly associated with stress resistance and cell wall homeostasis. Further GO enrichment of DEGs unique to 50 Gy and 200 Gy revealed 58 50Gy-exclusive DEGs were enriched in response to oxidative stress and jasmonic acid entries, while 435 200 Gy-exclusive DEGs were enriched in relation to oxidative stress, organic cyclic compounds, and salicylic acid. This investigation advances our insight into the biological effects of heavy ion irradiation and the underlying mechanisms.

Overall, CAM therapies exhibited a high safety profile for patients with fibromyalgia.
First record of Mesophylax aspersus (Rambur, 1842) from the Republic of Kosovo (Trichoptera Limnephilidae)

The distribution of Mesophylax aspersus Curtis, 1834 (Trichoptera Limnephilidae) ranges from Western Europe, Mediterranean region, Madeira, Canary Islands and up to South- western Asia. According to the present knowledge it is however almost absent from South- eastern Europe. In this paper we present first record of M. aspersus from the Republic of Kosovo. This is at the same time first country record of the genus. Unlike many countries where this species is present abundantly in our case it is extremely rare. A single adult male specimen of M. aspersus was found in an ultraviolet light trap at the Blinaje Hunting Reserve on August 23rd 2013. This has been a single specimen of this species caught at this locality during a one year monthly sampling of caddisflies with UV light traps and entomological net. Another male specimen has been caught on September 24th 2014 at the same locality. Streams and rivers in all parts of Kosovo were surveyed during the period 2009-2014 for Trichoptera species and currently the Blinaje Hunting Reserve is the only locality where this species has been found. The distributional area of this species has been considerably expan- ded by this record. The closest country where this species has been recorded is Bosnia and Herzegovina.
