Score Images as a Modality: Enhancing Symbolic Music Understanding through Large-Scale Multimodal Pre-Training.

Symbolic music understanding is a critical challenge in artificial intelligence. While traditional symbolic music representations like MIDI capture essential musical elements, they often lack the nuanced expression in music scores. Leveraging the advancements in multimodal pre-training, particularly in visual-language pre-training, we propose a groundbreaking approach: the Score Images as a Modality (SIM) model.

Release characteristics of heavy metals from electrolytic manganese residue under varying environmental factors.

High levels of manganese (Mn) and other heavy metals from electrolytic manganese residue (EMR) stockpiled would be released into the environment under natural conditions. A batch-leaching test was carried out to investigate the release characteristics of heavy metals from EMR with different storage times under simulated environmental conditions such as acid rain with different pH (3.0, 4.

Insights into the Luminescence Thermochromism of a Triarylboron Derivative: The Role of Intramolecular Group Interaction.

The organic fluorescent probes for temperature have received increasing interest due to their extremely high spatial and temporal resolution. A few of triarylboron derivatives, as almost the only molecular probes consisting of a single luminophore, have the ability to change their luminescent color at different temperatures. The mechanism of their luminescence thermochromism is controversial.

Pasteurization of fruit juices of different pH values by combined high hydrostatic pressure and carbon dioxide.

The inactivation of the selected vegetative bacteria Escherichia coli, Listeria innocua, and Lactobacillus plantarum by high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) in physiological saline (PS) and in four fruit juices with pHs ranging from 3.4 to 6.3, with or without dissolved CO(2), was investigated.

Inactivation of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli by the synergistic action of high hydrostatic pressure and dissolved CO₂.

This study focused on the synergistic inactivation effects of combined treatment of HHP and dissolved CO₂ on microorganisms. The aim was to reduce the treatment pressure of the traditional HHP technology and make it more economically feasible. The combined treatment showed a strong bactericidal effect on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli in liquid culture, which usually have high levels of barotolerance under pressure alone.

[Determination of 1-deoxynojirimycin in Morus alba L. leaves using reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography fluorescence detection with pre-column derivatization].

A rapid, reliable and suitable method for the determination of 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) in Morus alba L. leaves has been developed. The DNJ in 100 mg dried leaves was extracted twice with 10 mL aqueous 0.

Fluorescence detection of total count of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus on water-soluble CdSe quantum dots coupled with bacteria.

The aim of this paper was to demonstrate a fluorescence measurement method for rapid detection of two bacterial count by using water-soluble quantum dots (QDs) as a fluorescence marker, and spectrofluorometer acted as detection apparatus, while Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) were as detection target bacteria.
