To address the challenge of low recognition accuracy in transformer fault detection, a novel method called swarm budorcas taxicolor optimization-based multi-support vector (SBTO-MSV) is proposed. Firstly, a multi-support vector (MSV) model is proposed to realize multi-classification of transformer faults based on dissolved gas data. Then, a swarm budorcas taxicolor optimization (SBTO) algorithm is proposed to iteratively search the optimal model parameters during MSV model training, so as to obtain the most effective transformer fault diagnosis model.

Talking face generation is a promising approach within various domains, such as digital assistants, video editing, and virtual video conferences. Previous works with audio-driven talking faces focused primarily on the synchronization between audio and video. However, existing methods still have certain limitations in synthesizing photo-realistic video with high identity preservation, audiovisual synchronization, and facial details like blink movements.

Two skeletally immature female dogs were each investigated for chronic weight-bearing thoracic limb lameness. The first patient was lame for 2 months following a tumble whilst playing, and the second patient had been intermittently lame since 3 weeks of age. In both cases, radiographic examination of the shoulder revealed fissuring of the caudal humeral head consistent with an incomplete proximal humeral Salter-Harris type IV fracture with an Enoki-mushroom-like appearance of the caudal fragment, where two heads rise from a common stem.

To explore the dynamic molecular responses to CO-driven ocean acidification (OA) during the early developmental stages of sea urchins, gametes of Strongylocentrotus intermedius were fertilized and developed to the four-armed larva stage in either natural seawater (as a control; pH = 7.99 ± 0.01) or acidified conditions (ΔpH = -0.

Transition metal oxides (TMOs), especially zinc- and iron-based materials, are known to be one of the most innovative anode materials based on their high theoretical capacity, low price and abundant natural reserves. However, the application of these materials is limited by poor electronic conductivity, slow ion mobility and large structural transformations during charging/discharging processes. To overcome these drawbacks, sacrificial template technology has been proposed as a promising strategy to optimize the electrochemical performance and structure stability of TMOs, showing its potential especially in the storage design of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).
