Polycomus

description: Genus Polycomus He & Ma, gen. nov.
Chinese name: 毛ṅDza
Type species: Polycomus exspiravit sp. nov., here designated.
Etymology. The 'polycomus' refers to the strongly pubescent body of the new.
Diagnosis. This genus has a distinct epiphallus (Fig. 4D–F). Epiphallic median lobe scimitar-like, and the apex curved outward. Epiphallic lateral lobe nearly shaped as a rectangular. The sclerotized portion of ectoparamere sickle-like, tapering and apically obtuse.
Remarks. The new genus is similar in appearance to Amusurgus Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1893, but varies in male genitalia traits. The epiphallic lateral lobe of this new genus is slightly rectangular in shape and armed with a truncated tip, and the ectoparamere is sickle-shaped. Amusurgus, on the other hand, has a rod-like epiphallic lateral lobe and a truncated ectoparamere apex (Asian species, e.g., Amusurgus bispinosus He et al. 2010, Amusurgus fulvus Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1893, and Amusurgus caerulus Tan, 2022) or a finger-like epiphallic lateral lobe and median lobe (Australian species, e.g., Amusurgus kanyakis Otte & Alexander, 1983, Amusurgus minmirri Otte & Alexander, 1983, and Amusurgus nilarius Otte & Alexander, 1983).

description: Real-time audio communications over IP have become essential to our daily lives. Packet-switched networks, however, are inherently prone to jitter and data losses, thus creating a strong need for effective packet loss concealment (PLC) techniques. Though solutions based on deep learning have made significant progress in that direction as far as speech is concerned, extending the use of such methods to applications of Networked Music Performance (NMP) presents significant challenges, including high fidelity requirements, higher sampling rates, and stringent temporal constraints associated to the simultaneous interaction between remote musicians. In this article, we present PARCnet, a hybrid PLC method that utilizes a feed-forward neural network to estimate the time-domain residual signal of a parallel linear autoregressive model. Objective metrics and a listening test show that PARCnet provides state-of-the-art results while enabling real-time operation on CPU.

Interactive Effects of N-, P- and K-Nutrition and Drought Stress on the Development of Maize Seedlings
Creators: name: Studer, Christoph

Publisher: name: MDPI
Year: 2017

description: Global climate change is likely to increase the risk of frequent drought. Maize, as the principal global cereal, is particularly impacted by drought. Nutrient supply may improve plant drought tolerance for better plant establishment during seedling growth stages. Thus, this study investigated the interactive effects of drought and the application of the nutrients N, P and K either individually or in combination. The maize seedlings were harvested between 12 and 20 days after sowing, and the leaf area, shoot fresh and dry weight and root dry weight were determined, and shoot water content and root/shoot dry weight ratio were calculated. Among the N, P and K fertilization treatments applied individually or in combination, the results showed that there was generally a positive effect of combined NPK and/or NP nutrient supply on shoot growth such as leaf area, shoot fresh and dry weight at day 20 after sowing under both well-watered and drought conditions compared with no nutrient supply. Compared with the effect of N and P nutrient supply, it seems that K was not limiting to plant growth due to the mineralogical characteristics of the illitic-chloritic silt loam used, which provided sufficient K, even though soil tests showed a low K nutrient status. Interestingly, the root/shoot ratio remained high and constant under drought regardless of NPK application, while it decreased with NPK applications in the well-watered treatment. This suggests that the higher root/shoot ratios with N, NP, PK and NPK under drought could be exploited as a strategy for stress tolerance in crop plants.
Neural Ordinary differential equations with Trainable solvers
Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2024

description: When considering the data-driven identification of non-linear differential equations, the choice of the integration scheme to use is far from being trivial and may dramatically impact the identification problem. In this work, we discuss this aspect and propose a novel architecture that jointly learns Neural Ordinary Differential Equations (NODEs) as well as the corresponding integration schemes that would minimize the forecast of a given sequence of observations. We demonstrate its relevance with numerical experiments on non-linear dynamics, including chaotic systems.

MULTI-LEVEL CONTRASTIVE LEARNING FOR HYBRID CROSS-MODAL RETRIEVAL
Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2024

description: Hybrid image retrieval is a significant task for a wide range of applications. In this scenario, the hybrid query for searching images consists of a reference image and a text modifier. The reference image provides a vital visual context and displays some semantic details, while the text modifier specifies the modifications to the reference image. To address such hybrid cross-modal retrieval, we propose a multi-level contrastive learning (MLCL) method for combining the hybrid query features into a fused feature by cross-modal contrastive learning with multi-level semantic alignment. Meanwhile, we additionally consider self-supervised contrastive learning to enhance the semantic correlation of the features at different levels of the combiner network. Extensive results on three public datasets (i.e., FashionIQ, Shoes, and CIRR) demonstrate that our proposed MLCL significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art methods under the hybrid cross-modal retrieval setting.

description: Computational offloading has become an enabling component for edge intelligence in mobile and smart devices. Existing offloading schemes mainly focus on mobile devices and servers, while ignoring the potential network congestion caused by tasks from multiple mobile devices, especially in wireless multi-hop networks. To fill this gap, we propose a low-overhead, congestion-aware distributed task offloading scheme by augmenting a distributed greedy framework with graph-based machine learning. In simulated wireless multi-hop networks with 20-110 nodes and a resource allocation scheme based on shortest path routing and contention-based link scheduling, our approach is demonstrated to be effective in reducing congestion or unstable queues under the context-agnostic baseline, while improving the execution latency over local computing.

Subjects: Ski jumping performance Kinetics and kinematics Jump training

description: As hill jumps are very time-consuming, ski jumping athletes often perform various imitation jumps during training. The performed jumps should be similar to hill jumps, but a direct comparison of the kinetic and kinematic parameters has not been performed yet. Therefore, this study aimed to correlate 11 common parameters during hill jumps (Oberstdorf Germany), squat jumps (wearing indoor shoes), and various imitation jumps (rolling 4°, rolling flat, static; jumping equipment or indoor shoes) on a custom-built instrumented vehicle with a catch by the coach. During the performed jumps, force and video data of the take-off of 10 athletes were measured. The imitation and squat jumps were then ranked. The main difference between the hill jumps and the imitation and squat jumps is the higher maximal force loading rate during the hill jumps. Imitation jumps performed on a rolling platform, on flat ground were the most similar to hill jumps in terms of the force–time, and leg joint kinematic properties. Thus, non-hill jumps with a technical focus should be performed from a rolling platform with a flat inrun with normal indoor shoes or jumping equipment, and high normal force loading rates should be the main focus of imitation training.
Self-Supervised Face Image Restoration with a One-Shot Reference
Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2024

description: For image restoration, methods leveraging priors from generative models have been proposed and demonstrated a promising capacity to robustly restore photorealistic and high-quality results. However, these methods are susceptible to semantic ambiguity, particularly with images that have obviously correct semantics, such as facial images. In this paper, we propose a semantic-aware latent space exploration method for image restoration (SAIR). By explicitly modelling semantic information from a given reference image, SAIR is able to reliably restore severely degraded images not only to high-resolution and highly realistic looks but also to correct semantics. Quantitative and qualitative experiments collectively demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed SAIR. Our code is available at https://github.com/Liamkuo/SAIR.

description: Das Konsumentenverhalten beim Kauf von Möbeln ist komplex. Konsequente Kundenorientierung entlang des Kaufentscheidungsprozesses findet nur statt, wenn kaufrelevante Informationen kundenzentriert bereitgestellt werden. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht entsprechende Erfolgsfaktoren im Schweizer Möbelhandel. Im Kaufprozess lag der Fokus auf den Schritten Informationssuche und Bewertung von Alternativen. Mit qualitativen Interviews wurde untersucht, wie Kunden vorgehen, welche Kanäle sie dabei nutzen und welchen Herausforderungen sie dabei begegnen (Customer Journey). Der 1. Schritt ist oft, dass sich Kunden zuerst online zu einem Möbelstück informieren, danach jedoch aufgrund fehlender, kaufrelevanter Information den stationären Handel besuchen. Es gilt ein Fällen des Kaufentscheides online zu erleichtern, Kanalwechsel motivierender zu gestalten und den Anschluss an Onlinerecherchen nahtlos zu gewährleisten. Im Zuge der voranschreitenden Digitalisierung, vor allem in den Bereichen Virtual Reality und Maschinenlernen, wird die Bedeutung dieser Faktoren weiter zunehmen.

SDRNET: SALIENCY-GUIDED DYNAMIC RESTORATION NETWORK FOR RAIN AND HAZE REMOVAL IN NIGHTTIME IMAGES
Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2024

description: Due to the different physical imaging models, most haze or rain removal methods for daytime images are not suitable for nighttime images. Fog effect produced by the accumu-lation of rain also brings great challenges to the restoration of lowlight nighttime images. To deal well with the multi-ple noise interference in this complex situation, we propose a saliency-guided dynamic restoration network (SDRNet) that can remove rain and haze in nighttime scenes. First, a saliency-guided detail enhancement preprocessing method is designed to get images with clearer details as the auxilia-ry input. Second, following a rain removal network (RRN), we design an all-in-one nighttime dehazing network (ANDN) to estimate the spatially variable ambient light and transmission comprehensively by deforming the nighttime haze image model. Finally, an attention-based enhancement network (AEN) with dynamic fusion attention module is proposed to enhance the lowlight background image. Experimental results indicate that SDRNet can ob-tain clearer images with less fog and distortion compared with other methods.

Subjects: Biodiversity Coleoptera Deadwood Europe Saproxylic Species-energy hypothesis Trophic guild

description: The species-energy hypothesis predicts increasing biodiversity with increasing energy in ecosystems. Proxies for energy availability are often grouped into ambient energy (i.e., solar radiation) and substrate energy (i.e., non-structural carbohydrates or nutritional content). The relative importance of substrate energy is thought to decrease with increasing trophic level from primary consumers to predators, with reciprocal effects of ambient energy. Yet, empirical tests are lacking. We compiled data on 332,557 deadwood-inhabiting beetles of 901 species reared from wood of 49 tree species across Europe. Using host-phylogeny-controlled models, we show that the relative importance of substrate energy versus ambient energy decreases with increasing trophic levels: the diversity of zoophagous and mycetophagous beetles was determined by ambient energy, while non-structural carbohydrate content in woody tissues determined that of xylophagous beetles. Our study thus overall supports the species-energy hypothesis and specifies that the relative importance of ambient temperature increases with increasing trophic level with opposite effects for substrate energy.

Fast Intra mode prediction algorithms for SCBs in VVC SCC
Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2024

description: Versatile Video Coding (VVC) now supports Screen Content Coding (SCC) by integrating two efficient coding modes: Intra Block Copy (IBC) and Palette (PLT). However, the numerous
modes and the Quad-Tree Plus Multi-Type Tree (QTMT) structure inherent to VVC contribute to a very high coding complexity. To effectively reduce the computational complexity
of VVC SCC, we propose a fast Intra mode prediction algorithm for VVC SCC. More specifically, we first use the difference of minimum Sum of Absolute Transformed Differences
(SATD) value of four Directional Modes (DMs) of Intra and the SATD value of the IBC-merge mode to determine whether to early skip Intra checking. Subsequently, we
use a decision tree to determine whether to early terminate the checking after block differential pulse coded modulation (BDPCM). Finally, we employ a decision tree to determine
whether to early skip multiple transform selection (MTS) and low frequency non-separable transform (LFNST) checking. The results demonstrate that our algorithm achieves an average
encoding time reduction of 34.34% with a negligible Bjøntegaard delta bitrate increase of 0.46%.

description: Abstract

Androgens are the main regulators of growth of hair follicles. After puberty they promote the transformation of vellus hair follicles into terminal hair follicles in the axillary, pubic and beard areas and cause regression of hair follicles over the scalp resulting in androgenetic alopecia known as ‘androgen paradox’. Hemihyperplasia is the asymmetric overgrowth of a part or entire side of the body. It may occur in isolation or can be associated with certain genetic syndromes or embryonal tumors. Unilateral localized failure of beard growth may occur due to abnormal target tissue sensitivity to androgens, caused by a defect in the androgen receptor gene structure. We report a rare case of a 26-year-old male with right-sided beard growth failure, likely due to androgen receptor gene alterations despite normal androgen levels. Histopathology revealed primitive hair follicles and mild inflammatory infiltrates. This case suggests androgen insensitivity as a cause of unilateral beard growth failure, possibly associated with isolated left hemihypertrophy, a rare presentation not previously reported.

description: The objective of this study was to estimate repeatability scores and variance components (VC) for milk urea in the Swiss cattle breeds Braunvieh (BV), Original Braunvieh (OB), Holstein (HO), Montbéliard (MO), Red Holstein (RH), Swiss Fleckvieh (SF) and Simmental (SI). For this purpose, milk urea results from 2,315,437 standard lactations yields (BV=955,231; OB=80,016; HO=265,775; MO=44,590; RH=474,289; SF=367,720; SI=127,816) with totally 2,335,267 pedigree records (BS=676,368; OB=73,927; HO=416,634; MO=70,635; RH=526,760; SF=431,080; SI=139,863) were used. The data were collected in the years 2010-2019. Genetic variances and covariances were estimated by REML using the software ASReml 4.2. The model to estimate VC and repeatabilities included the fixed effects number of lactation and milk yield, the random effects farm and sire, as well as a random additive genetic component and a permanent environmental effect. Estimated heritabilities and standard errors were 0.37±0.004, 0.52±0.012, 0.32±0.007, 0.20±0.013, 0.27±0.005, 0.34±0.006, 0.38±0.009 in BV, OB, HO, MO, RH, SF and SI breed, respectively. The repeatability coefficients varied between 0.30±0.008, 0.34±0.003, 0.40±0.003, 0.40±0.003, 0.44±0.006, 0.45±0.002 and 0.56±0.006 in MO, RH, SF, HO, SI, BV and OB, respectively (±standard error). The results are consistent with other studies and show that genetic modification of milk urea by selection is possible.

description: Predicting future conservation needs can help inform conservation management but is subject to uncertainty. We measured deforestation rates during 2015–2017 for 114 protected areas in Madagascar, linked deforestation to the status of protection according to IUCN categories I–VI, used recent deforestation rates to extrapolate forest cover over 2017–2050 and linked the size of forest blocks to the projected persistence of lemur subpopulations. In the six IUCN categories for protected areas in Madagascar the median size of forest blocks is 9–37 km2 and median annual deforestation rates range from 0.02% in the single IUCN category III site to 0.19% in category II and 1.95% in category VI sites. In 2017, 40% of all forest blocks within protected areas were < 10 km2, and this is projected to increase to 45% in 2050. Apart from these small forest fragments, the modal site of forest blocks was 160–320 km2 in 2017, and this is projected to decrease to 80–160 km2 in 2050. The range of > 50% of all lemur species exclusively contains forest blocks of < 10 km2. The modal size of forest blocks > 10 km2 is predicted to remain at 120 km2 until 2050. Although uncertainty remains, these analyses provide hope that forest blocks within the protected areas of Madagascar will remain large enough to maintain lemur subpopulations for most species until 2050. This should allow sufficient time for the implementation of effective conservation measures.

description: BACKGROUND: Early mobilization is important to improve critically ill patients’ outcomes, but barriers to its implementation are common. A suitable in-bed device to exercise patients’ legs might facilitate early mobilization. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to develop an in-bed leg press that would facilitate early mobilization and enhance strength training of patients in acute care settings. METHODS: A user-centered design approach was applied to develop the device. The process was assessed by different instruments: the system usability scale (SUS) questionnaire, the Kano model questionnaire and interviews with end-users. RESULTS: Through several iterations of a user-centered design process, the prototype of an in-bed leg press was developed and tested. The assessment, based on SUS, Kano and interviews, indicates high usability and demonstrates the advantages of a user-centered design process. CONCLUSIONS: An interprofessional user-centered design approach was successfully implemented to develop a medical device. The early involvement of end-users resulted in a design that already shows a high degree of production readiness. The resulting device fulfilled all core requirements from a therapeutic point of view and included key features related to its practical use.

description: anoparticles (NPs) in aqueous suspension have just begun to be exploited for the preservative treatment of wood. However, at present, there is very little information available on the distribution of NPs in wood after impregnation, due to associated analytical challenges. In this study, we present the detection of model NPs in softwood and hardwood by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). SERS is a highly sensitive analytical method requiring no fluorescent labeling. The NP distribution after impregnation is evaluated with one representative species of the two wood types. To show the feasibility of the method, we prepared SERS-active Au/Ag nanostars coated with silica to act as a model NP system. We show herein that NPs can be imaged in very low quantities in both wood types without any matrix interactions. The presence of the NPs in the wood was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). The fast detection of NPs in a complex matrix, without complicated sample preparation, marks a huge step forward in the development and application of nanotechnology for wood preservation and the quest to optimize the properties of one of the world’s most important raw materials.

description: Research on artificial intelligence (AI) for healthcare gained interest in recent years. However, the use of AI in daily clinical practice is still rare. We created and distributed an online survey among professionals working within the health informatics field to explore their views. The provided answers were classified into referring or not to: 1) Application areas; 2) Medical specialities; 3) Specific technologies; 4) Use cases; 5) Citizens involvement; and 6) Challenges. We received 42 valid responses. With regard to the sentiment of the answers, 71,4% were classified by the AFINN tool as being positive. In light of the open question, 76,2% of the respondents referred to possible applications areas. They think the most frequent uses will be for diagnostic, decision making and treatment. 54,8% of respondents referred to use cases, being personalized care and daily practice the most popular scenarios. 28,6% mentioned citizens' involvement, and 23,8% medical specialities in which AI might be used. There is a mostly positive attitude towards the application of AI in healthcare, in particular regarding its future use for realising routine tasks. From these results, we conclude that research should further focus on realising AI-based applications for relieving health professionals from repetitive tasks and optimize healthcare processes.
