ATM: Adaptive transformer model for reconstruction of remote sensing multi-temporal non-equispaced sequence imagery by Zhi-peng Qi, Zi-yi Zhao, Xing Jin

“…To address this issue, we perform an adaptive transformer model (ATM) for reconstruction of remote sensing multi-temporal non-equispaced sequence imagery. To realize efficient information processing by dynamically adjusting the weight distribution of the internal relations of data, the core workflow of ATM is divided into three steps: feature coding, relationship evaluation and adaptive focusing. …”

Unraveling tissue-specific molecular mechanisms orchestrating arsenic response processes in Pteris vittata through transcriptomic analysis by Shujun Wei, Ryota Moriuchi, Christine Dwi A.P. Wiyono, Chihiro Inoue, Mei-Fang Chien

“…In the roots, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with the activation of glutathione metabolic process, cell wall biogenesis, antioxidant response, and signal transduction pathways enabled a prompt response to As-derived stimuli, facilitating efficient As uptake and transport. In the fronds, DEGs related to cell wall modification, oxidative stress response, signal transduction, and active transport systems may contribute to As detoxification and hyperaccumulation. …”
