Towards an Efficient Remote Sensing Image Compression Network with Visual State Space Model by Yongqiang Wang, Feng Liang, Shang Wang, Hang Chen, Qi Cao, Haisheng Fu, Zhenjiao Chen

“…To alleviate this issue, we propose a learned remote sensing image compression network with visual state space model named VMIC to achieve a better trade-off between computational complexity and performance. Specifically, instead of stacking small convolution kernels or heavy self-attention mechanisms, we employ a 2D-bidirectional selective scan mechanism. …”

Effect of age on complexity and causality of the cardiovascular control: comparison between model-based and model-free approaches. by Alberto Porta, Luca Faes, Vlasta Bari, Andrea Marchi, Tito Bassani, Giandomenico Nollo, Natália Maria Perseguini, Juliana Milan, Vinícius Minatel, Audrey Borghi-Silva, Anielle C M Takahashi, Aparecida M Catai

“…We found that: 1) MF approaches are more efficient than the MB method when nonlinear components are present, while the reverse situation holds in presence of high dimensional embedding spaces; 2) the CE method is the least powerful in detecting age-related trends; 3) the association of HP complexity on age suggests an impairment of cardiac regulation and response to STAND; 4) the relation of SAP complexity on age indicates a gradual increase of sympathetic activity and a reduced responsiveness of vasomotor control to STAND; 5) the association from SAP to HP on age during STAND reveals a progressive inefficiency of baroreflex; 6) the reduced connection from HP to SAP with age might be linked to the progressive exploitation of Frank-Starling mechanism at REST and to the progressive increase of peripheral resistances during STAND; 7) at REST the diminished association from RESP to HP with age suggests a vagal withdrawal and a gradual uncoupling between respiratory activity and heart; 8) the weakened connection from RESP to SAP with age might be related to the progressive increase of left ventricular thickness and vascular stiffness and to the gradual decrease of respiratory sinus arrhythmia.…”
