Visual defect obfuscation based self-supervised anomaly detection.

Due to scarcity of anomaly situations in the early manufacturing stage, an unsupervised anomaly detection (UAD) approach is widely adopted which only uses normal samples for training. This approach is based on the assumption that the trained UAD model will accurately reconstruct normal patterns but struggles with unseen anomalies. To enhance the UAD performance, reconstruction-by-inpainting based methods have recently been investigated, especially on the masking strategy of suspected defective regions.

Unveiling the Potential of Natural Compounds: A Comprehensive Review on Adipose Thermogenesis Modulation.

The process of adipocyte browning has recently emerged as a novel therapeutic target for combating obesity and obesity-related diseases. Non-shivering thermogenesis is the process of biological heat production in mammals and is primarily mediated via brown adipose tissue (BAT). The recruitment and activation of BAT can be induced through chemical drugs and nutrients, with subsequent beneficial health effects through the utilization of carbohydrates and fats to generate heat to maintain body temperature.

Structural Characteristics of a Conical-Frustum-Patterned Stretchable Heater in an External-Force Environment.

Stretchable heaters are mechanically and biomedically advantageous because they are more flexible than the conventional microheaters. To determine the way that a heater can be used appropriately in a wide range of application fields, studies on the mechanical and thermal characteristics regarding various film configurations are underway. In this study, the mechanical characteristics of conical-frustum-patterned stretchable heaters with various configurations with upper-radius (R1), bottom-radius (R2), and height (h) aspect ratios were numerically investigated when tensile forces and bending moments were applied to the film of heater.

Wide-baseline stereo matching based on the line intersection context for real-time workspace modeling.

Line matching in widely separated views is challenging because of large perspective distortion and violation of the planarity assumption in local regions. We introduce a novel method of wide-baseline image matching based on the coplanar line intersections for poorly textured and/or nonplanar structured scenes. The local areas of the coplanar line pairs are normalized into canonical frames by rectifying the coplanar line pairs to be orthogonal.

Effects of CH4893237, a new orally active estrogen receptor downregulator, on breast cancer xenograft models with low serum estrogen levels.

We compared the antitumor efficacy and estrogen receptor (ER) degradation of CH4893237, a new orally active selective ER downregulator, with fulvestrant and tamoxifen in human breast cancer xenografts with low levels of serum estrogen (E2) (50.6, 22.9 and <16.
