A joint learning method with consistency-aware for low-resolution facial expression recognition by Xie, Yuanlun, Tian, Wenhong, Song, Liang, Xue, Ruini, Zha, Zhiyuan, Wen, Bihan

“…This paper proposes a unified learning framework (namely SR-FER) by cascading the image super-resolution (SR) task and FER task to alleviate the low-resolution challenge. It effectively feeds back expression-related information from the FER network to the SR network, and returns the quality-enhanced expression images via a SR network. …”

The sustainable use of species-rich grasslands for forage and biogas production by French, K

“…My research had four main objectives: (1) to determine whether the nutritional composition of forage from species-rich grasslands was comparable to commercial livestock feeds, (2) to assess the bioenergy output of biomass from species-rich grasslands compared to current bioenergy feedstocks, (3) to determine the effect of land use change and agricultural intensification on microbial diversity, and (4) to determine whether grassland biodiversity was stable or changed (temporally and spatially) over time. …”

Predictive factors for the diagnosis of coeliac disease in children and young people in primary care: A systematic review and meta-analysis by Farrier, CE, Wanat, M, Harnden, A, Paterson, A, Roberts, N, Saatci, D, Hirst, J

“…Amongst the 14 factors we identified that were significant, three were potentially modifiable: breast feeding, antibiotic use and amount of gluten ingestion in early childhood. …”

Elongated magma plumbing system beneath the Coso volcanic field, California, constrained by seismic reflection tomography by Wang, Dongdong, Wu, Shucheng, Li, Tianjue, Tong, Ping, Gao, Yongxin

“…Our final velocity model reveals a prominent low-velocity body sitting right beneath the CVF at 5–20 km depths, which we interpret as a rhyolite magma reservoir that supplies heat flux to the hot springs and also feeds the volcanic activities at Coso. We find that the upper-middle crustal low-velocity body dips southwards into the lower crust, extending to regions beneath the Indian Wells Valley and the Garlock Fault at depth greater than 20 km. …”

Multifunctional Wireless Gut-Brain Neurotechnology by Sahasrabudhe, Atharva

“…This technology was validated by modulating the mesolimbic reward pathway in the mouse brain and the anatomically challenging intestinal lumen to demonstrate wireless control of sensory epithelial cells and vagal afferents that guide animal’s feeding and reward behaviors.…”

The Origins of the East Greenland Coastal Current on the Northeast Greenland Shelf: a Comparison of Two Reanalysis Products by Vianco, Sara L.

“…How this fresh water initially flows onto the Northeast Greenland Shelf (NEGS) and feeds the EGCC is not well known due in part to the lack of observations in the region. …”

Whole genome sequencing and comparative analysis of novel pathogen elizbethkingia anophelis against oxidative stress by Li, Yingying

“…Moreover, the transcriptome profiling comparison between E. anophelis NUHP1 treated with hydrogen peroxide and with mouse blood further showed that E. anophelis NUHP1 displayed the similar protective mechanism associated with iron siderophore and heme utilization when contact with mouse blood, indicating that oxidative stress is the major stress for E. anophelis NUHP1 when infect hosts and the strong resistance to oxidative stress enables E. anophelis to be dominant in the blood meal feeding mosquitoes. Furthermore, we also showed that hemoglobin but not ferric iron greatly facilitates the growth, hydrogen peroxide tolerance and biofilm formation of E. anophelis NUHP1. …”

Correlating physicochemical properties of commercial membranes with CO₂ absorption performance in gas-liquid membrane contactor by Xu, Yilin, Malde, Chandresh, Wang, Rong

“…PP membranes with pore size of 19 nm, thickness of 0.046 mm, and porosity of 58% achieved high CO₂ flux when feeding pure CO₂ (5.4 and 24.4×10 mol/m .s using absorbents of water and 1M monoethanolamine (MEA), respectively) whereas PVDF membranes with pore size of 24 nm, thickness of 0.343 mm, and porosity of 84% presented a good CO₂ separation performance from the simulated biogas using 1M MEA (6.8×10 mol/m .s and 99.9% CH recovery). …”

Encapsulation of host-derived probiotics using functional polysaccharides by Wong, Liqi

“…In the future, in vivo feeding trials will be conducted for Jade Perch to evaluate the persistence of the delivered bacteria in the gut, pathogen resistance, and other performances of encapsulated probiotics, to achieve the manipulation of the host gut microbiota and increase disease resistance.…”

Nuclei sorting-based genome-wide CRISPR screens to identify novel regulators of hepatic insulin signalling by Martin Perez, E

“…By modulating rates of hepatic glucose output and glucose uptake into skeletal muscle and adipose tissue, it is at the core of blood glucose homeostasis, ensuring normoglycaemia during fasting and feeding. The liver is one of the three major tissues that acts in sustaining appropriate blood glucose levels. …”

Exposure to Pb-halide perovskite nanoparticles can deliver bioavailable Pb but does not alter endogenous gut microbiota in zebrafish by Patsiou, Danae, del Rio-Cubilledo, Cristina, Catarino, Ana Isabel, Summers, Stephen, Afiq Mohd Fahmi, Boyle, David, Fernandes, Teresa F., Henry, Theodore B.

“…Induction of mt2 and reduction of ala-d expression levels in liver tissues showed Pb bioavailability after 2-d and 4-d dietary exposure to perovskite-spiked feeds. Changes in gut microbiota of adult zebrafish were detected after 14-d exposure to Pb-spiked food, but no changes were detected from perovskite-NP spiked food. …”
