RAMAS-Net: a module-optimized convolutional network model for aortic valve stenosis recognition in echocardiography by Yejia Gan, Wanzhong Huang, Yan Deng, Xiaoying Xie, Yuanyuan Gu, Yaozhuang Zhou, Qian Zhang, Maosheng Zhang, Yangchun Liu

“…IntroductionAortic stenosis (AS) is a valvular heart disease that obstructs normal blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta due to pathological changes in the valve, leading to impaired cardiac function. Echocardiography is a key diagnostic tool for AS; however, its accuracy is influenced by inter-observer variability, operator experience, and image quality, which can result in misdiagnosis. …”

Effects of shading on photosynthetic characteristics and shade-tolerance evaluation of three Ranunculaceae plants by HAN Ruiting, ZHAO Dandan, WANG Weiyi, ZHANG Gexiang*

“…The light saturation point(LSP), light compensation point(LCP)and dark respiration rate(Rd)of the three plants decreased gradually.(3)The original fluorescence(Fo)decreased first and then increased, while the maximum fluorescence(Fm), variable fluorescence(Fv), maximum photochemical efficiency of PS Ⅱ(Fv/Fm)and potential activity of PS Ⅱ(Fv/Fo)values increased first and then decreased; the quantum ratio of heat dissipation(φDo)and the energy dissipated per unit reaction center(DIo/RC)decreased first and then increased, while electron transport quantum yield(φEo), light energy absorbed per unit reaction center(ABS/RC), light energy captured per unit reaction center(TRo/RC), energy used to transfer electrons per unit reaction center(ETo/RC), photosynthetic performance index(PIabs)and comprehensive performance index(PItotal)increased first and then decreased.(4)Comprehensive analysis on 20 single indicators by using analysis methods such as principal component analysis and membership function method showed that the shade-tolerance of the three plants ranked as Thalictrum fortunei > Delphinium anthriscifolium var. savatieri > R. japonicus. …”
