CMFX: Cross-modal fusion network for RGB-X crowd counting.

Currently, for obtaining more accurate counts, existing methods primarily utilize RGB images combined with features of complementary modality (X-modality) for counting. However, designing a model that can adapt to various sensors is still an unsolved issue due to the differences in features between different modalities. Therefore, this paper proposes a unified fusion framework called CMFX for RGB-X crowd counting.

Crystal Form-Dependent MnS for Diabetic Wound Healing: Performance and Mechanistic Insights.

In pharmaceuticals, the structural and functional alterations induced by biotransformation are well-documented. Many pharmaceuticals exist in various crystal forms, which govern their transformation and significantly impact their activity. However, in the field of inorganic nanomedicine, there is a paucity of research focusing on the influence of crystal form-dependent "metabolism" (transformation) on their activity and biomechanism.

LncRNA CCRR maintains Ca homeostasis against myocardial infarction through the FTO-SERCA2a pathway.

Cardiac conduction regulatory RNA (CCRR) has been documented as an antiarrhythmic lncRNA in our earlier investigation. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of CCRR on SERCA2a and the associated Ca homeostasis in myocardial infarction (MI). Overexpression of CCRR via AAV9-mediated delivery not only partially reversed ischemia-induced contractile dysfunction but also alleviated abnormal Ca homeostasis and reduced the heightened methylation level of SERCA2a following MI.

Metallophthalocyanine as ideal antibiotics without light: Mechanisms and applications.

The urgent global health problem of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) calls for the discovery of new antibiotics with innovative modes of action while considering the low toxicity to mammalian cells. This paper proposes a novel strategy for designing antibiotics with selective bacterial toxicity by exploiting the positional differences of electron transport chains (ETC) in bacterial and mammalian cells. The focus is on cytochrome c (cyt C) and its maturation system in E.

LncRNA CCRR Attenuates Postmyocardial Infarction Inflammatory Response by Inhibiting the TLR Signalling Pathway.

Background: Timely and proper suppression of inflammation can effectively reduce myocardial injury and promote the postmyocardial infarction (post-MI) wound-healing process. We have previously found that cardiac conduction regulatory RNA (CCRR), a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) transcribed by the gene located on chromosome 9, with abundant expression in the heart, elicits antiarrhythmic effects in heart failure, and this is a continuing study on the role of CCRR in MI.

Methods: CCRR was overexpressed in CCRR transgenic mice or after injection of adeno-associated virus-9 (AAV-9).

Pd nanoparticles anchored Co-MOF for nitrophenol reduction.

Three nitrophenols are among the 126 priority toxic pollutants identified by the US Environmental Protection Agency. Catalyzing hydrogenation is a simple way to convert these toxic nitrophenols into harmless aminophenols. Commercial PdC has excellent catalytic hydrogenation activity but has weaknesses such as high price and low reusability.

Identification of Reliable Reference Genes under Different Stresses and in Different Tissues of .

(L.) Kuntze () is an economic tree species that produces urushiol and urushi wax, and it is of great value in industry and medicine. However, the stability of reference genes (RGs) has not been systematically reported in to date.

Hydrothermal Synthesis of Polyhedral Nickel Sulfide by Dual Sulfur Source for Highly-Efficient Hydrogen Evolution Catalysis.

Transition metal sulfides are cheap and efficient catalysts for water splitting to produce hydrogen; these compounds have attracted wide attention. Nickel sulfide (NiS) has been studied in depth because of its simple preparation process, excellent performance and good stability. Here, we propose a modification to the hydrothermal synthesis method for the fabrication of a highly efficient and stable NiS electrocatalyst prepared by two different sulfur sources, i.

Cep57 and Cep57l1 function redundantly to recruit the Cep63-Cep152 complex for centriole biogenesis.

The Cep63-Cep152 complex located at the mother centriole recruits Plk4 to initiate centriole biogenesis. How the complex is targeted to mother centrioles, however, is unclear. In this study, we show that Cep57 and its paralog, Cep57l1, colocalize with Cep63 and Cep152 at the proximal end of mother centrioles in both cycling cells and multiciliated cells undergoing centriole amplification.

Mechanism study on highly efficient polymer light-emitting diodes utilizing double-layered alkali halide electron injection layer.

Enhancing the injection of electron is an effective strategy to improve the performance of polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs). In this work, we reported a 286% improvement in current efficiency (CE) of PLEDs by using double-layered alkali halide electron injection layer (EIL) NaCl/LiF instead of LiF. A significant enhancement of electron injection was observed after inserting the NaCl layer.

Measurement Structures of Image Compressive Sensing for Green Internet of Things (IoT).

Image compressive sensing (CS) is a potential imaging scheme for green internet of things (IoT). To further make CS-based sensor adaptable to low bandwidth and low power, this paper focuses on finding a good measurement structure, i.e.

An Energy-Efficient Compressive Image Coding for Green Internet of Things (IoT).

Aimed at a low-energy consumption of Green Internet of Things (IoT), this paper presents an energy-efficient compressive image coding scheme, which provides compressive encoder and real-time decoder according to Compressive Sensing (CS) theory. The compressive encoder adaptively measures each image block based on the block-based gradient field, which models the distribution of block sparse degree, and the real-time decoder linearly reconstructs each image block through a projection matrix, which is learned by Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) criterion. Both the encoder and decoder have a low computational complexity, so that they only consume a small amount of energy.

Adaptive Compressive Sensing of Images Using Spatial Entropy.

Compressive Sensing (CS) realizes a low-complex image encoding architecture, which is suitable for resource-constrained wireless sensor networks. However, due to the nonstationary statistics of images, images reconstructed by the CS-based codec have many blocking artifacts and blurs. To overcome these negative effects, we propose an Adaptive Block Compressive Sensing (ABCS) system based on spatial entropy.

Cis-Regulatory Elements Determine Germline Specificity and Expression Level of an Isopentenyltransferase Gene in Sperm Cells of Arabidopsis.

Flowering plant sperm cells transcribe a divergent and complex complement of genes. To examine promoter function, we chose an isopentenyltransferase gene known as PzIPT1. This gene is highly selectively transcribed in one sperm cell morphotype of Plumbago zeylanica, which preferentially fuses with the central cell during fertilization and is thus a founding cell of the primary endosperm.
