Fast Decision Making of Point Cloud Video Geometry CU Partition Based on Occupied Pixels by Fengqin Wang, Juanjuan Jia, Qiuwen Zhang

“…The experimental results show that when the proposed method is used to process different dynamic point clouds in All Intra (AI) configuration, the average time of geometric graph obtained after coding is saved by 62.76%, while the BD-TotalRate only increases by 0.04% and 0.10%. Compared with other methods, the coding complexity is reduced. …”

The Role of Hydrogen Sulfide in the Regulation of the Pulmonary Vasculature in Health and Disease by Philip I. Aaronson

“…In light of evidence that a fall in the partial pressure in oxygen (pO₂) increases cellular sulfide levels, it was proposed that a rise in sulfide in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) is responsible for hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction, the contraction of PAs which develops rapidly in lung regions undergoing alveolar hypoxia. …”

Soil Decomposer Can Regulate the Legacy Effect of Photodegradation on Forest Marcescent Litter Decomposition, but Emerging Microplastics Disrupt This by Kai Tian, Xin Wang, Rumeng Ye, Yingqi Wang, Zhicheng Chen, Xiaojing Liu, Wenxia Wang, Lunguang Yao

“…ABSTRACT Photodegradation—photochemical mineralization of standing litters—often exerts a legacy effect aiding biodegradation in soil (PLE), which is overlooked in deciduous forests containing marcescent leaves. Meanwhile, increasing anthropogenic microplastics have deposited in forests, how they would affect the PLE on subsequent litter bio‐decomposition is currently unknown. …”
