Background: The blood volume of intraparenchymal vessels is reported to be increased in smokers. However, the blood volume can be affected by many confounders besides tobacco exposure. This study aimed to investigate the association between cigarette smoking and pulmonary blood volume after adjusting the related factors in a large cohort of Chinese males.

- The article discusses the co-use of two spacer cations, 1,4-butanediamonium (BDA) and 2-phenylethylammonium (PEA), to create perovskite precursor solutions that enhance solar cell performance.
- The resulting polycrystalline films have improved properties such as lower exciton binding energy, better carrier transport, and enhanced crystallinity, contributing to a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 17.21%.
- Additionally, the mixed cations provide excellent stability against humidity and heat, with devices maintaining over 95% efficiency after 500 hours in humid conditions.
Discriminative Feature Learning with Foreground Attention for Person Re-identification.
IEEE Trans Image Process
March 2019
The performance of person re-identification (Re-ID) has been seriously effected by the large cross-view appearance variations caused by mutual occlusions and background clutters. Hence learning a feature representation that can adaptively emphasize the foreground persons becomes very critical to solve the person Re-ID problem. In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective foreground attentive neural network (FANN) to learn a discriminative feature representation for person Re-ID, which can adaptively enhance the positive side of foreground and weaken the negative side of background.
