Lightweight and efficient skeleton-based sports activity recognition with ASTM-Net. by Bin Wu, Mei Xue, Ying Jia, Ning Zhang, GuoJin Zhao, XiuPing Wang, Chunlei Zhang

“…Skeletal data has emerged as a robust modality for HAR, overcoming challenges such as noisy backgrounds and lighting variations. However, current Graph Convolutional Network (GCNN)-based methods for skeletal activity recognition face two key limitations: (1) they fail to capture dynamic changes in node affinities induced by movements, and (2) they overlook the interplay between spatial and temporal information critical for recognizing complex actions. …”

In Silico Prediction of Maize microRNA as a Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitor: A New Approach to Treating Hyperuricemia Patients by Manas Joshi, Mohd Mabood Khan

“…Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the prospects of zma-miRs in XO gene regulation, the possible mechanism, and the interaction analysis of the zma-miR-XO mRNA transcript. Method: Significant features of miRNA-mRNA interaction were revealed using two popular miRNA target prediction software—intaRNA (version 3.3.1) and RNA hybrid (version 2.2.1) Results: Only 12 zma-miR-156 variants, out of the 325 zma-miR’s sequences reported in the miRNA database, efficiently interact with the 3′UTR of the XO gene. …”

Does the occurence of homostyly necessarily accompany the breakdown of heteromorphic incompatibility system? by Jing Zhao, Laiziti Kuliku, Aiqin Zhang, Fangfang Jiao, Dengfu Ren

“…The aim of this study was to clarify whether the occurrence of H-morph is also accompanied by the breakdown of heteromorphic incompatibility system, and the relationship between the H-morph and long-styled-/shortstyled-morph (L-/S-morph).MethodsThe floral morphs composition and frequency, heterostylous syndrome, pollinators and visiting efficiency were investigated in five natural populations of L. aureum based on field observation, artificial control pollination experiment and so on.Results and conclusionAll populations were composed of L-, S- and H-morphs, except for ATS population with only H-morph, and there were significant differences in flower size parameter, fruit set, and degree of pollination limitation, while no differences among morphs within population. …”
