A systematic improvement of the high-quality temperature field reconstruction for acoustic pyrometry by Jingkao Tan, Na Li, Qulan Zhou, Yanyuan Hu, Lehang Chen, Zhongquan Gao, Jie Zhou

“…We used multiple means of improvement to improve the reconstruction performance of AP in a gradual and systematic manner. The fast finite-difference shooting method, the adaptive grid evolution strategy (AGES) and the radial basis function approximation with polynomial reproduction (RBFPR) were proposed and integrated into the sequential process optimization approach we concluded to systematically improve the reconstruction performance over the initial algorithm. …”

Genome of a stage-dependent cave-dwelling frog reveals the genetic mechanism of an extremely divergent biphasic life cycle by Ningning Lu, Wei Zhu, Chen-Yang Tang, Chaochao Yan, Qiheng Chen, Wei Wu, Liming Chang, Jianping Jiang, Jia-Tang Li, Bin Wang

“…Summary: Cave-dwelling species offer unique insights into adaptive evolution. The stage-dependent cave frog, Oreolalax rhodostigmatus (Orho), exhibits troglomorphic traits as a tadpole in Karst caves, transitioning to a troglophilic/trogloxenic lifestyle after metamorphosis, characterized by developed pigment and eyes. …”
