Human motion similarity evaluation based on deep metric learning by Yidan Zhang, Lei Nie

“…In addition, the dynamic time warping (DWT) algorithm is exploited to align the sequence of action information feature vectors temporally, which solves the problem of temporal axis discrepancies in realizing similarity metrics based on action information feature vectors. More accurate and reliable human action similarity evaluation results were achieved by the loss function composed of three components, namely, cross-reconstruction loss, reconstruction loss and triplet loss. …”

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. …”

Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Glycogen Storage Disorders (GSDs) by Kumudesh Mishra, Or Kakhlon

“…Deficiencies in enzymes responsible for glycogen breakdown and synthesis can impair mitochondrial function. For instance, in GSD type II (Pompe disease), acid alpha-glucosidase deficiency leads to lysosomal glycogen accumulation, which secondarily impacts mitochondrial function through dysfunctional mitophagy, which disrupts mitochondrial quality control, generating oxidative stress. …”

Insulin Secretion Defect in Children and Adolescents with Obesity: Clinical and Molecular Genetic Characterization by Helena Enders-Seidlitz, Klemens Raile, Maolian Gong, Angela Galler, Peter Kuehnen, Susanna Wiegand

“…We calculated Matsuda index, the area under the curve (AUC (Ins/Glu)), and an oral disposition index (ISSI-2) to estimate insulin resistance and beta-cell function. We identified patients with IGR and low insulin secretion (maximum insulin during OGTT<200 mU/l) and tested a subgroup using next generation sequencing to identify possible mutations in 103 candidate genes. …”
