A Multi-Source Circular Geodesic Voting Model for Image Segmentation by Shuwang Zhou, Minglei Shu, Chong Di

“…While convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved notable success by learning representative features from large datasets, they often lack geometric priors and global object information, limiting their accuracy in complex scenarios. Variational methods like active contours provide geometric priors and theoretical interpretability but require manual initialization and are sensitive to hyper-parameters. …”

Modular and efficient assembly of CRISPR vectors and construction of an apple gene editing efficiency evaluation system by HOU Feifan, HUANG Chuanmi, HAO Pengbo, CONG Liu, BAI Tuanhui, SHI Jiangli, WANG Miaomiao, LIU Yu, ZHAO Yujie, WAN Ran, SHEN Yawen, ZHANG Hengtao, ZHANG Kunxi, ZHENG Xianbo, JIAO Jian

“…We aim to develop a modular and efficient CRISPR vector system, optimize the Agrobacterium-mediated transient delivery system in apple plantlets, and establish a corresponding evaluation system for assessing the efficiency of gene editing in apple. [Methods] The conventional vectors pUC19 (DNA cloning plasmid) and pHK2 (Dicotyledonous gene editing plasmid based on pCAMBIA1300 modification) were firstly modified by inserting a pair of type Ⅱ S restriction enzyme sites (such as Esp3 Ⅰ or Bsa Ⅰ etc.) into selected positions, to construct the intermediate vector pUC19-Esp3 Ⅰ-Bb and the plant expression vector backbone pHK2-Bsa Ⅰ-Bb. …”

“…Unlike conventional strain gauges, BOTDA provided a continuous strain profile along the column height, accurately capturing strain decay with a resolution exceeding 95%, enabling the detection of localized strain reductions often missed by traditional methods. The integration of η_decay into ACI 318 and Eurocode 2 models conservatively improved predictions, particularly for specimens tested with long-term testing (720 days), with experimental-to-predicted (E/P) ratios of 1.42 and 1.29, respectively, compared to higher discrepancies in the original codes. …”
