Advanced EPISM approach for holographic stereogram generation utilizing neural radiance fields.

This paper presents a synthetic holographic stereogram printing approach that integrates neural radiance fields (NeRF) with the effective perspective images segmentation and mosaicking (EPISM) method. Sparse perspectives of a 3D scene are captured through random sampling and used to train a NeRF model with multi-resolution hash encoding, enabling rapid construction of an implicit scene representation. The EPISM method calculates the camera pose parameters needed for parallax images, which are rendered through the trained neural network.

Constructing Anion Solvation Microenvironment Toward Durable High-Voltage Sodium-Based Batteries.

Sodium-based rechargeable batteries are some of the most promising candidates for electric energy storage with abundant sodium reserves, particularly, sodium-based dual-ion batteries (SDIBs) perform advantages in high work voltage (≈5.0 V), high-power density, and potentially low cost.

Enhanced piezoelectric sensor to distinguish real-time arrhythmia for predicting heart failure.

Monitoring cardiac rhythm is crucial for diagnosis of heart failure. However, the deficient sensitivity of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) sensors impede their application in monitoring of cardiac rhythm due to the limited piezoelectricity. Here, doping of CoFeO and aligning fibers were jointly adopted to enhance the piezoelectricity of PVDF, attributed to the transformation of α-PVDF to β-PVDF from 51.

Depletion of Gibberellin Signaling Up-Regulates Transcription and Promotes Adventitious Root Formation in Leaf Explants.

Adventitious root (AR) formation in plants originates from non-root organs such as leaves and hypocotyls. Auxin signaling is essential for AR formation, but the roles of other phytohormones are less clear. In , at least two distinct mechanisms can produce ARs, either from hypocotyls as part of the general root architecture or from wounded organs during de novo root regeneration (DNRR).

CsMPDB 1.0: An interactive web application for visualizing and exploring the microRNAs and phasiRNAs of tea plant (Camellia sinensis var. sinensis 'Shuchazao').

The microRNAs and phasiRNAs of plant are small non-coding RNAs with important functions through regulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. However, identifying miRNAs, phasiRNAs and their target genes from numerous sequencing raw data requires multiple software and command-line operations, which are time-consuming and labor-intensive for non-model plants. Therefore, we present CsMPDB (miRNAs and phasiRNAs database of Camellia sinensis), an interactive web application with multiple analysis modules developed to visualize and explore miRNA and phasiRNA in tea plants based on 259 sRNA-seq samples and 24 degradome-seq samples in NCBI.

Generation of Multiple-Depth 3D Computer-Generated Holograms from 2D-Image-Datasets Trained CNN.

Generating computer-generated holograms (CGHs) for 3D scenes by learning-based methods can reconstruct arbitrary 3D scenes with higher quality and faster speed. However, the homogenization and difficulty of obtaining 3D high-resolution datasets seriously limit the generalization ability of the model. A novel approach is proposed to train 3D encoding models based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) using 2D image datasets.

Endogenetic Carbon Dot Strategy within Melamine-Formaldehyde Microspheres for Multifunctional Hybrid Fluorescence/Room-Temperature Phosphorescence Applications in Dry States and Aqueous Environments.

Developing hybrid fluorescence (FL)/room-temperature phosphorescent (RTP) materials in dry-state, aqueous, and organic solvents holds paramount importance in broadening their applications. However, it is extremely challenging due to dissolved oxygen and solvent-assisted relaxation causing RTP quenching in an aqueous environment and great dependence on SiO-based materials. Herein, an efficient endogenetic carbon dot (CD) strategy within melamine-formaldehyde (MF) microspheres to activate RTP of CDs has been proposed through the pyrolysis of isophthalic acid (IPA) molecules and branched-chain intra-microspheres.
