A revised understanding of Tribolium morphogenesis further reconciles short and long germ development. by Matthew A Benton

“…In contrast, most insect embryos undergo a complicated set of tissue rearrangements to generate a condensed, multilayered germband. The ventral side of the germband is embryonic, while the dorsal side is thought to be an extraembryonic tissue called the amnion. …”

Multi-channel volume density neural radiance field for hyperspectral imaging by Runchuan Ma, Sailing He

“…Leveraging the characteristics of hyperspectral data, we propose a neural radiance field method employing a multi-channel volume density distribution function. This approach alleviates issues during the generation of neural radiance fields from hyperspectral data, enhancing the robustness of hyperspectral neural radiance field methods across various scenarios, which can help downstream tasks such as discriminating objects more effectively than RGB methods. …”

Analysis of Drag Torque Characteristic of Hydro-viscous Clutch with Consideration of Cavitation Effect by Sun Chunlian

“…The results show that the velocity distribution is inhomogeneous,and the fluid with the same direction of rotation has high velocity and has the function of diversion. The cavitation occurs in the intersection of the groove,the higher the speed,the larger the film thickness,the more the cavitation phenomenon. …”

Lipocalin prostaglandin D synthase and PPARγ2 coordinate to regulate carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in vivo. by Sam Virtue, Mojgan Masoodi, Vidya Velagapudi, Chong Yew Tan, Martin Dale, Tapani Suorti, Marc Slawik, Margaret Blount, Keith Burling, Mark Campbell, Naomi Eguchi, Gema Medina-Gomez, Jaswinder K Sethi, Matej Orešič, Yoshihiro Urade, Julian L Griffin, Antonio Vidal-Puig

“…To determine if induction of L-PGDS was compensating for a lack of PPARγ2, we crossed L-PGDS KO mice to PPARγ2 KO mice to generate Double Knock Out mice (DKO). Using DKO mice we demonstrated a requirement of L-PGDS for maintenance of subcutaneous WAT (scWAT) function. …”

Research on a Particle Filtering Multi-Target Tracking Algorithm for Distributed Systems by Bing Han, Zilong Ge, Zhigang Su, Jingtang Hao

“…In the proposed method, we fuse direct and coupled measurements via optimization and then build a cost function to optimize the particle weights. Comparative evaluations across motion models, noise levels, and the number of targets demonstrate the outperforming performance of the proposed method compared to conventional particle filtering and the unscented Kalman filtering algorithm, with more than 7% accuracy improvement over baselines. …”

Preclinical Positron Emission Tomographic Imaging of Acute Hyperoxia Therapy of Chronic Hypoxia during Pregnancy by Alexander Zheleznyak, Joel R. Garbow, Michal Neeman, Suzanne E. Lapi

“…Herein we report first-in-mouse PET imaging of fetuses employing both tracers [ 18 F]FDG (metabolism) and 64 Cu-ATSM (hypoxia). [ 18 F]FDG PET/CT imaging allowed clear visualization of placental-fetal structures and supported quantification of tracer uptake, making this a sensitive tool for monitoring placental function in preclinical rodent models. These measurements illustrate the potentially irreversible damage generated by chronic exposure to hypoxia, which cannot be corrected by acute exposure to hyperoxia.…”
