Dynamical or spatial properties of charged species can be obtained using electrostatic lenses by velocity map imaging (VMI) or spatial map imaging (SMI), respectively. Here, we report an approach for extracting dynamical and spatial information from patterns in SMI images that map the initial coordinates, velocity vectors, and angular distributions of charged particles onto the detector, using the same apparatus as in VMI. Deciphering these patterns required analysis and modeling, involving both their predictions from convolved spatial and velocity distributions and fitting observed images to kinetic energies (KEs) and anisotropy parameters (βs). As the first demonstration of this capability of SMI, the ensuing photoelectrons resulting from (2 + 1) resonant ionization of water in a selected rotational state were chosen to provide a rigorous basis for comparison to VMI. Operation with low acceleration voltages led to a measured SMI pattern with a unique vertical intensity profile that could be least-squares fitted to yield KE and β, in good agreement with VMI measurement. Due to the potential for improved resolution and the extended KE range achievable by this new technique, we expect that it might augment VMI in applications that require the analysis of charged particles and particularly in processes with high KE release.

The mosquito Aedes aegypti is an emerging model insect for invertebrate neurobiology. We detail the application of a dual transgenesis marker system that reports the nature of transgene integration with circular donor template for CRISPR-Cas9-mediated homology-directed repair at target mosquito chemoreceptor genes. Employing this approach, we demonstrate the establishment of cell-type-specific T2A-QF2 driver lines for the A.

In recent years, deep-network-based hashing has gained prominence in image retrieval for its ability to generate compact and efficient binary representations. However, most existing methods predominantly focus on high-level semantic features extracted from the final layers of networks, often neglecting structural details that are crucial for capturing spatial relationships within images. Achieving a balance between preserving structural information and maximizing retrieval accuracy is the key to effective image hashing and retrieval.

Manual labeling of lesions in medical image analysis presents a significant challenge due to its labor-intensive and inefficient nature, which ultimately strains essential medical resources and impedes the advancement of computer-aided diagnosis. This paper introduces a novel medical image-segmentation framework named Efficient Generative-Adversarial U-Net (EGAUNet), designed to facilitate rapid and accurate multi-organ labeling. To enhance the model's capability to comprehend spatial information, we propose the Global Spatial-Channel Attention Mechanism (GSCA).
