Mixed-precision Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) provide an efficient solution for hardware deployment, especially under resource constraints, while maintaining model accuracy. Identifying the ideal bit precision for each layer, however, remains a challenge given the vast array of models, datasets, and quantization schemes, leading to an expansive search space. Recent literature has addressed this challenge, resulting in several promising frameworks.

Herein, we evaluated for the first time the response of the whip coral Viminella flagellum to short-term acute Cu exposure. Nubbins of V.

The present study focuses on the early life history of the species aff. , a common deep-sea octocoral in the Azores.

The present study focused on two common deep-water octocoral species in the Azores Archipelago, Dentomuricea aff. meteor and Viminella flagellum, aiming at determining their ability to exploit different food sources.

We report herein three cases of such diverticula, analyzed retrospectively, and depicting some of these complications: small bowel obstruction due to enterolith in a giant diverticulum treated surgically, incidental intraoperative finding on an anastomotic jejunal limb affecting the surgical plan and diverticulitis with anemia.
