Robust long-tailed recognition with distribution-aware adversarial example generation.

Confronting adversarial attacks and data imbalances, attaining adversarial robustness under long-tailed distribution presents a challenging problem. Adversarial training (AT) is a conventional solution for enhancing adversarial robustness, which generates adversarial examples (AEs) in a generation phase and subsequently trains on these AEs in a training phase. Existing long-tailed adversarial learning methods follow the AT framework and rebalance the AE classification in the training phase.

Rectify representation bias in vision-language models for long-tailed recognition.

Natural data typically exhibits a long-tailed distribution, presenting great challenges for recognition tasks. Due to the extreme scarcity of training instances, tail classes often show inferior performance. In this paper, we investigate the problem within the trendy visual-language (VL) framework and find that the performance bottleneck mainly arises from the recognition confusion between tail classes and their highly correlated head classes.

The Equalization Losses: Gradient-Driven Training for Long-tailed Object Recognition.

Long-tail distribution is widely spread in real-world applications. Due to the extremely small ratio of instances, tail categories often show inferior accuracy. In this paper, we find such performance bottleneck is mainly caused by the imbalanced gradients, which can be categorized into two parts: (1) positive part, deriving from the samples of the same category, and (2) negative part, contributed by other categories.

Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of ESPs and NSPs Involved in Glucosinolate Hydrolysis and Insect Attack Defense in Chinese Cabbage ( subsp. ).

Glucosinolates are secondary plant metabolites that are part of the plant's defense system against pathogens and pests and are activated via enzymatic degradation by thioglucoside glucohydrolases (myrosinases). Epithiospecifier proteins (ESPs) and nitrile-specifier proteins (NSPs) divert the myrosinase-catalyzed hydrolysis of a given glucosinolate to form epithionitrile and nitrile rather than isothiocyanate. However, the associated gene families have not been explored in Chinese cabbage.

Enhanced Resistance to in by Activating Host Immunity through Exogenous Aspf2-like Protein (VDAL) Treatment.

Sclerotinia stem rot caused by is one of the most destructive diseases in . Aspf2-like protein (VDAL) is a secretory protein of . which has been shown to enhance the resistance against fungal infections in several plants.

Glutamic Acid and Poly-γ-glutamic Acid Enhanced the Heat Resistance of Chinese Cabbage ( L. ssp. ) by Improving Carotenoid Biosynthesis, Photosynthesis, and ROS Signaling.

Heat stress is one of the most common agrometeorological risks in crop production in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China. This study aimed to investigate whether glutamic acid (Glu) or poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) biostimulants can improve the thermotolerance of a cool-season Chinese cabbage ( L. ssp.

Glycine Betaine and β-Aminobutyric Acid Mitigate the Detrimental Effects of Heat Stress on Chinese Cabbage ( L. ssp. ) Seedlings with Improved Photosynthetic Performance and Antioxidant System.

Heat stress is one of the major abiotic factors that limit the growth, development, and productivity of plants. Both glycine betaine (GB) and β-aminobutyric acid (BABA) have received considerable attention due to their roles in stimulating tolerance to diverse abiotic stresses. In order to understand how GB and BABA biostimulants alleviate heat stress in a cool-weather Chinese cabbage ( L.

The Implementation of a Primary Care-Based Integrated Mobile Health Intervention for Stroke Management in Rural China: Mixed-Methods Process Evaluation.

There is a lack of evidence concerning the effective implementation of strategies for stroke prevention and management, particularly in resource-limited settings. A primary-care-based integrated mobile health intervention (SINEMA intervention) has been implemented and evaluated a 1-year-long cluster-randomized controlled trial. This study reports the findings from the trial implementation and process evaluation that investigate the implementation of the intervention and inform factors that may influence the wider implementation of the intervention in the future.

Hypertension in China: burdens, guidelines and policy responses: a state-of-the-art review.

Hypertension is a leading risk factor of cardiovascular disease and it is becoming increasingly prevalent globally. Correspondingly, the Chinese government and public health institutions have issued a series of policy documents and guidelines for hypertension. However, no comprehensive review of such documents has been conducted.

Hypertension Care Coordination and Feasibility of Involving Female Community Health Volunteers in Hypertension Management in Kavre District, Nepal: A Qualitative Study.

Background: Hypertension and related complications are major contributors to morbidity and mortality in Nepal. Community health workers have been proposed as promising health cadres to meet the growing healthcare demand for non-communicable disease management in other developing countries.

Objective: We aimed to explore existing workflows, needs and challenges for hypertension care coordination and to assess the feasibility of establishing a Female Community Health Volunteer (FCHV)-based hypertension management program in Kavre, Nepal.

Correction: Evaluating the Feasibility and Acceptability of a Mobile Health-Based Female Community Health Volunteer Program for Hypertension Control in Rural Nepal: Cross-Sectional Study.

Evaluating the Feasibility and Acceptability of a Mobile Health-Based Female Community Health Volunteer Program for Hypertension Control in Rural Nepal: Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Hypertension is a major modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, the world's leading cause of death. The prevalence of hypertension is disproportionately higher in South Asian countries than in other regions of the world. Screening for hypertension in primary care settings remains a challenge in many South Asian countries, including Nepal.
