Rats have a natural tendency to spend more time exploring novel objects than familiar objects, and this preference can be used as an index of object recognition. Rats also show an exploratory preference for objects in locations where they have not previously encountered objects (an index of place memory) and for familiar objects in contexts different from those in which the objects were originally encountered (an index of context memory). In this experiment, rats with cytotoxic lesions of the hippocampal formation were tested on all three versions of the novelty-preference paradigm, with a 5-min retention interval between the familiarization and test phases. Rats with sham lesions displayed a novelty preference on all three trial types, whereas the rats with hippocampal lesions displayed a novelty preference on Object trials but did not discriminate between the objects on Place trials or Context trials. The findings indicate that hippocampal damage impairs memory for contextual or spatial aspects of an experience, whereas memory for objects that were part of the same experience are left relatively intact.

A Semi-Supervised Fracture-Attention Model for Segmenting Tubular Objects with Improved Topological Connectivity.

School of Artificial Intelligence, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, 100049, China.
Motivation: Ensuring connectivity and preventing fractures in tubular object segmentation are critical for downstream analyses. Despite advancements in deep neural networks (DNNs) that have significantly improved tubular object segmentation, existing methods still face limitations. They often rely heavily on precise annotations, hindering their scalability to large-scale unlabeled image datasets.

In order to reduce the number of parameters in the Chinese herbal medicine recognition model while maintaining accuracy, this paper takes 20 classes of Chinese herbs as the research object and proposes a recognition network based on knowledge distillation and cross-attention - ShuffleCANet (ShuffleNet and Cross-Attention). Firstly, transfer learning was used for experiments on 20 classic networks, and DenseNet and RegNet were selected as dual teacher models. Then, considering the parameter count and recognition accuracy, ShuffleNet was determined as the student model, and a new cross-attention mechanism was proposed.

Aiming at the crucial engineering challenge of the ambiguous excavation deformation mechanism of hard and brittle surrounding rock under high geos-tress conditions, with the right bank diversion tunnel at the dam site of the hydropower station as the research object, the deformation and failure characteristics of the surrounding rock and their formation mechanisms during the layered excavation of the diversion tunnel were investigated. The research findings show: (1) The main factors influencing the deformation of the diversion tunnel's surrounding rock are the high ground stress environment, the degree of fracture development in the rock mass, and the effectiveness of the support system. (2) Following the excavation of the first layer, extensive shallow damage predominates, with damaged blocks primarily exhibiting sheet-like and plate-like forms.

Article Synopsis
- The red king crab and Japanese mitten crab are important for both their nutritional value and ecological research.
- A study focused on the changes in lipid profiles during the crabs' embryonic and larval stages, highlighting how triacylglycerols disappeared in early larvae but reappeared later with different compositions.
- The research revealed species-specific demands for polyunsaturated fatty acids, which could guide better diet selection in aquaculture practices.
Time-varying 3D optical torque via a single beam.

Department of Optics and Optical Engineering, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, China.
The spin angular momentum (SAM) plays a significant role in light-matter interactions. It is well known that light carrying SAM can exert optical torques on micro-objects and drive rotations, but 3D rotation around an arbitrary axis remains challenging. Here, we demonstrate full control of the 3D optical torque acting on a trapped microparticle by tailoring the vectorial SAM transfer.
