Article Synopsis
  • Sleep deprivation (TSD) was studied in female mice to understand its effects on fertility, with no significant difference in ovulation rates but notable hormonal changes.
  • RNA sequencing revealed that 42 genes were differently expressed in oocytes from TSD mice, indicating issues with mitochondrial function and cell cycle processes.
  • The study concluded that TSD leads to oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, resulting in oocyte defects and negatively impacting early embryo development.

Article Synopsis
  • - GP-Recon is a new method for creating high-quality 3D reconstructions from single-camera videos, focusing on capturing fine geometric details that previous methods often miss.
  • - The approach integrates geometric prior information into neural geometry learning and includes an online volume rendering process to improve detail retention during reconstruction.
  • - Compared to existing state-of-the-art techniques, GP-Recon demonstrates superior accuracy and completeness in 3D reconstructions, clearly displaying finer geometric elements.

Texture synthesis is a fundamental problem in computer graphics that would benefit various applications. Existing methods are effective in handling 2D image textures. In contrast, many real-world textures contain meso-structure in the 3D geometry space, such as grass, leaves, and fabrics, which cannot be effectively modeled using only 2D image textures.

Most existing point cloud completion methods suffer from the discrete nature of point clouds and the unstructured prediction of points in local regions, which makes it difficult to reveal fine local geometric details. To resolve this issue, we propose SnowflakeNet with snowflake point deconvolution (SPD) to generate complete point clouds. SPD models the generation of point clouds as the snowflake-like growth of points, where child points are generated progressively by splitting their parent points after each SPD.

Background: Establishing a successful pregnancy depends on the endometrium and the embryo. It is estimated that suboptimal endometrial receptivity account for one-third of implantation failures. Despite the indepth understanding of the processes associated with embryo-endometrial cross-talk, little progress has been achieved for diagnosis and treatments for suboptimal endometrial receptivity.

Point cloud completion concerns to predict missing part for incomplete 3D shapes. A common strategy is to generate complete shape according to incomplete input. However, unordered nature of point clouds will degrade generation of high-quality 3D shapes, as detailed topology and structure of unordered points are hard to be captured during the generative process using an extracted latent code.

We present a learning-based approach to reconstructing high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) shapes with detailed geometry and high-fidelity textures. Albeit extensively studied, algorithms for 3D reconstruction from multi-view depth-and-color (RGB-D) scans are still prone to measurement noise and occlusions; limited scanning or capturing angles also often lead to incomplete reconstructions. Propelled by recent advances in 3D deep learning techniques, in this paper, we introduce a novel computation- and memory-efficient cascaded 3D convolutional network architecture, which learns to reconstruct implicit surface representations as well as the corresponding color information from noisy and imperfect RGB-D maps.

With broader availability of large-scale 3D model repositories, the need for efficient and effective exploration becomes more and more urgent. Existing model retrieval techniques do not scale well with the size of the database since often a large number of very similar objects are returned for a query, and the possibilities to refine the search are quite limited. We propose an interactive approach where the user feeds an active learning procedure by labeling either entire models or parts of them as "like" or "dislike" such that the system can automatically update an active set of recommended models.
