Underwater light attenuation leads to decreased image contrast. This reduction in contrast subsequently decreases target visibility. Additionally, marine target detection is challenging due to multi-scale problems from varying target-to-device distances, complex target clustering, and noise from waterborne particulates.

The revenue function is based on the Theil entropy measure, whose factors are in the residual energy of the nodes and their neighbors. By using a primary payoff function that considers all initial network factors and a secondary one that addresses connectivity in case of reduced residual energy, a segmentation function can calculate the model's payoff.

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is well known as a critical modulator of neuronal excitability and synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. The aim of the present study is to investigate the role of BDNF in the infralimbic cortex and the prelimbic cortex of the mPFC in complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-induced inflammatory pain.

However, the effectiveness and underlying mechanisms of EE-VEx remain unclear. In mice with intraplantar injection of complete Freund's adjuvant, our results revealed that EE-VEx alleviated perceptual, affective, and cognitive dimensions of chronic inflammatory pain.
