Simulation Studies of the Dynamics and the Connectivity Patterns of Hydrogen Bonds in Water from Ambient to Supercritical Conditions by Dorota Swiatla-Wojcik

“…A significant reduction in the continuous and intermittent lifetimes has been found between (293 K, 0.1 MPa) and (373 K, 25 MPa) and attributed to the decreasing size of patches embedded in the continuous HB network. The loss of global HB connectivity at ca. (573 K, 10 MPa) and the investigated supercritical conditions do not noticeably affect the HB dynamics. …”

Fusion feature-based hybrid methods for diagnosing oral squamous cell carcinoma in histopathological images by Jiaxing Li

“…ObjectiveThis study is experimental in nature and assesses the effectiveness of the Cross-Attention Vision Transformer (CrossViT) in the early detection of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) and proposes a hybrid model that combines CrossViT features with manually extracted features to improve the accuracy and robustness of OSCC diagnosis.MethodsWe employed the CrossViT architecture, which utilizes a dual attention mechanism to process multi-scale features, in combination with Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) technology for the effective analysis of image patches. Simultaneously, features were manually extracted by experts from OSCC pathological images and subsequently fused with the features extracted by CrossViT to enhance diagnostic performance. …”

Shelley Jacksons’s Gender Politics in Patchwork Girl (1995): a Cyborg Approach by Anne-Laure Fortin-Tournès

“…By appealing to the reader’s demiurgic powers of imagination, the hypertext replaces the identity paradigm with the performance paradigm. The patched body of the monstrous female serves as a powerful metaphor for the hypertext itself and its capacity as a “feminine form” (Jackson) to deconstruct the binaries and boundaries introduced by modern science at the service of male hybris, which Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, one of the key intertexts of Patchwork Girl, forcefully denounced. …”
