Pixel-Inconsistency Modeling for Image Manipulation Localization.

Digital image forensics plays a crucial role in image authentication and manipulation localization. Despite the progress powered by deep neural networks, existing forgery localization methodologies exhibit limitations when deployed to unseen datasets and perturbed images (i.e.

Robust and Transferable Backdoor Attacks Against Deep Image Compression With Selective Frequency Prior.

Recent advancements in deep learning-based compression techniques have demonstrated remarkable performance surpassing traditional methods. Nevertheless, deep neural networks have been observed to be vulnerable to backdoor attacks, where an added pre-defined trigger pattern can induce the malicious behavior of the models. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to launch a backdoor attack with multiple triggers against learned image compression models.

Temporal bone pneumatization: meta-analysis of its characteristics with implications for head and neck surgery.

Background: The present meta-analysis aimed to analyze the morphological and morphometric aspects of temporal bone pneumatization based on the data in the available literature. It is hoped that our results may be useful for physicians, especially head and neck surgeons, performing procedures in the temporal bone region.

Materials And Methods: A systematic search was conducted in which all articles regarding the temporal bone pneumatization were searched for.

The Impact of Selenium on the Physiological Activity of Yeast Cells ATCC 7090 and CCY 20-2-26.

Background: This study investigated the selenium-binding capacity of the biomass of two yeast strains, American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) 7090 and CCY 20-2-26.

Methods: The studies carried out methods of bioaccumulation by yeast biomass. Inorganic selenium was added to the culture media as an aqueous solution of NaSeO at concentrations ranging from 0 to 40 mg Se/L.

Blood Circulating LncRNAs: SNHG5 and ZFAS1 as Biomarkers Reflecting Cachexia Incidence in Chronic Heart Failure Patients.

Background: Systemic inflammation plays a crucial role in the development and progression of chronic heart failure (CHF) across all phenotypes. The continuous release of proinflammatory cytokines causes muscle atrophy and adipocyte breakdown, ultimately resulting in cachexia. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as potential biomarkers associated with cachexia, as they indirectly regulate muscle and fat tissue metabolism.
