We introduce a novel algorithm that turns a flash selfie taken with a smartphone into a studio-like photograph with uniform lighting. Our method uses a convolutional neural network trained on a set of pairs of photographs acquired in a controlled environment. For each pair, we have one photograph of a subject's face taken with the camera flash enabled and another one of the same subject in the same pose illuminated using a photographic studio-lighting setup. We show how our method can amend lighting artifacts introduced by a close-up camera flash, such as specular highlights, shadows, and skin shine.

Development of patient-specific pre-treatment verification procedure for FLASH proton therapy based on time resolved film dosimetry.

Background: Pre-clinical studies demonstrate that delivering a high dose at a high dose rate result in less toxicity while maintaining tumor control, known as the FLASH effect. In proton therapy, clinical trials have started using 250 MeV transmission beams and more trials are foreseen. A novel aspect of FLASH treatments, compared to conventional radiotherapy, is the importance of dose rate next to dose and geometry.

Precise calibration of event camera systems is essential for applications such as 3D vision. The cessation of extra gray frame production in popular models like the dynamic vision sensor (DVS) poses significant challenges to achieving high-accuracy calibration.

The distribution of the species is largely unknown due to sporadic survey efforts and its historically low detection using traditional live trapping methods. There is an urgent need to determine the best methods of detection to optimise survey methodologies and more effectively manage species conservation efforts.

Regular population monitoring of imperilled charismatic species such as large carnivores is critical for conservation. However, the role of monitoring in conservation is frequently diminished due to: 1) surveys being implemented in isolation, 2) limited on-ground-capacity leading to infrequent monitoring, and 3) inappropriate methods being applied. Wildlife monitoring is often resource-intensive and the utility and cost of different field protocols is rarely reported.

Article Synopsis
- An adult tawny owl with head trauma showed severe neurological issues, including lethargy and an unresponsive left pupil during examination.
- A series of tests, like CT scans and auditory responses, indicated brain damage and altered visual pathways, suggesting serious impacts from the trauma.
- Understanding bird neurological injuries is crucial for prevention and treatment, highlighting the importance of advanced diagnostic tools in veterinary care.
