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. …”

Insertion sequences accelerate genomic convergence of multidrug resistance and hypervirulence in Klebsiella pneumoniae via capsular phase variation by Da-Wei Wei, Yuqin Song, Yi Li, Gang Zhang, Qi Chen, Linhuan Wu, Jiangqing Huang, Xueru Tian, Chao Wang, Jie Feng

“…However, during long-term intestinal colonization, IS element excision restored capsule expression, leading to the recovery of hypervirulence and enhanced colonization efficiency. Conclusions Our findings reveal that IS elements mediate capsular phase variation by toggling gene activity, accelerating the genomic convergence of multidrug resistance and hypervirulence in K. pneumoniae, as well as facilitating adaptive transitions in different environments.…”
