Research on Road Scene Understanding of Autonomous Vehicles Based on Multi-Task Learning.

Road scene understanding is crucial to the safe driving of autonomous vehicles. Comprehensive road scene understanding requires a visual perception system to deal with a large number of tasks at the same time, which needs a perception model with a small size, fast speed, and high accuracy. As multi-task learning has evident advantages in performance and computational resources, in this paper, a multi-task model YOLO-Object, Drivable Area, and Lane Line Detection (YOLO-ODL) based on hard parameter sharing is proposed to realize joint and efficient detection of traffic objects, drivable areas, and lane lines.

MiR-125b-5p is targeted by curcumin to regulate the cellular antioxidant capacity.

As a natural polyphenolic food supplement and the principal curcuminoid in turmeric, curcumin shows antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor activities. However, its specific functional mechanism remains unclear. Our preliminary study indicated that miR-125b-5p was downregulated by a curcumin extract.

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) exhibits antioxidant activity via mitochondrial modulation.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are mitochondrial respiration byproducts, the accumulation of which may cause oxidative damage and is associated with several chronic health problems. As an essential unsaturated fatty acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) provides various physiological functions; however, its exact regulatory role remains elusive. The current study aimed to address how EPA regulates cellular antioxidant capacity and the possible mechanisms of action.

Antioxidant Activity of Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) and Its Regulatory Roles in Mitochondria.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are single-electron-bearing oxidation-reduction products that are mainly produced in mitochondria. Excessive ROS accumulation may lead to oxidative damage. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an essential component of brain phospholipids and is mainly derived from the diet.
