Global road extraction using a pseudo-label guided framework: from benchmark dataset to cross-region semi-supervised learning by Xiaoyan Lu, Yanfei Zhong, Zhuo Zheng, JunJue Wang, Dingyuan Chen, Yu Su

“…Recent advancements in satellite remote sensing technology and computer vision have enabled rapid extraction of road networks from massive, Very High-Resolution (VHR) satellite imagery. However, current road extraction methods face the following limitations: 1) Insufficient availability of accurate and diverse training datasets for global-scale road extraction; 2) Costly and time-consuming manual labeling of millions of road samples; and 3) Limited generalization ability of deep learning models across diverse global contexts, resulting in better performance for regions well-represented in the training dataset, but worse performance when faced with domain gaps. …”

Apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1): Consideration of Molecular Evolution, Interaction with APOL3, and Impact of Splice Isoforms Advances Understanding of Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms o... by Razi Khalaila, Karl Skorecki

“…In the absence of a consistent mechanistic explanation for differential kidney injury, we propose pursuing three interrelated avenues of investigation informed by prior epidemiological and mechanistic evidence linking them to APOL1’s cytotoxicity: (1) Molecular evolution of APOL1 haplotypes in human populations, (2) APOL1 splicing and consequent splice isoforms, (3) Interaction of APOL1 with other APOL gene family members, prioritizing APOL3. In the current study, we use reanalysis of population genetics datasets to resolve the haplotype contexts of all protein-altering APOL1 variants, uncovering previously unrecognized variant–haplotype couplings. …”

Impact of financial stability and growth potential on the investment attractiveness of an organisation by O. E. Astafyeva, Yu. E. Khvostov

“…Receiving reliable and substantiated data on the financial stability of an organisation, a potential investor can draw conclusions and forecasts regarding the attractiveness of an investment object, and a potential investment object, in turn, gains the opportunity to take the necessary measures to increase its investment attractiveness. In the current economic realities, a characteristic feature of which is the complication of economic relations and resource maneuvering, it seems necessary to further study the relationship between the investment attractiveness and financial stability and study the influence of the latter on the growth potential in order to form a set of theoretical provisions and develop methods for increasing the economic stability of commercial enterprises, protecting their economic interests as well as for developing measures to enhance competitiveness and competitive advantages in the struggle for investments.…”
