SimSC: a simple framework for semantic correspondence with temperature learning by Li, X, Han, K, Wan, X, Prisacariu, VA

“…We discover that when fine-tuning ImageNet pre-trained backbone on the semantic matching task, L2 normalization of the feature map, a standard procedure in feature matching, produces an overly smooth matching distribution and significantly hinders the fine-tuning process. …”

Efficient position decoding methods based on fluorescence calcium imaging in the mouse hippocampus by Tu, Mengyu, Zhao, Ruohe, Adler, Avital, Gan, Wen-Biao, Chen, Zhe S.

“…Here, we develop an efficient strategy to extract features from fluorescence calcium imaging traces and further decode the animal's position. We validate our spike inference-free decoding methods in multiple in vivo calcium imaging recordings of the mouse hippocampus based on both supervised and unsupervised decoding analyses. …”

Field instrumentation for performance assessment of Geobarrier System by Rahardjo, Harianto, Qian, Zhai, Satyanaga, Alfrendo, Leong, Eng Choon, Wang, Chien Looi, Wong, Johnny Liang Heng

“…The saturated hydraulic conductivity of a coarse-grained material is normally higher than that of a fine-grained material. However, the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity of the coarse-grained material decreases much faster than that of the fine-grained material with increasing matric suction and consequently the coarse-grained material can be less permeable than the fine-grained material in unsaturated condition. …”

Clinical course, immunogenicity, and efficacy of BNT162b2 mRNA vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 infection in liver transplant recipients by Tan, Eunice X., Lim, Wen Hui, Thong, Elizabeth, Chavatte, Jean-Marc, Zhang, Jinyan, Lim, Jonathan, Jin, Jocelyn Y., Lim, Daniel R. X., Kang, Jaclyn Y. T., Tang, Ansel Shao Pin, Chan, Kai En, Tan, Caitlyn, Tan, Shi Ni, Nah, Benjamin, Huang, Daniel Q., Wang, Lin-Fa, Tambyah, Paul A., Somani, Jyoti, Young, Barnaby Edward, Muthiah, Mark D.

“…We measured the antibody response against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein using the Roche Elecsys immunoassay to the receptor-binding domain of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, and the presence of neutralizing antibodies was measured by the surrogate virus neutralization test (cPass) before first and second doses of vaccination and also between 2 and 3 mo after the second dose of vaccination. …”

Technological transmission of knowledge in Neolithic northwestern China: mineralogical and chemical analyses of Yangshao and Majiayao painted ware by Spataro, M, Hein, A

“…The analyses were carried out to detect differences or similarities in the chaînes opératoires of ceramic production at the three sites, in particular, to examine the clay types selected to make the three main categories of wares for which Yangshao and Majiayao are known, namely painted fine wares, burnished fine wares, and unpainted coarse wares. …”

Evaluation of population immunity against SARS-CoV-2 variants, EG.5.1, FY.4, BA.2.86, JN.1, JN.1.4, and KP.3.1.1 using samples from two health demographic surveillance systems in K... by Lugano, D, Kutima, B, Kimani, M, Sigilai, A, Gitonga, J, Karani, A, Akech, D, Karia, B, Ziraba, AK, Maina, A, Lambisia, A, Omuoyo, D, Mugo, D, Lucinde, R, Owuor, S, Konyino, G, Newman, J, Bailey, D, Nduati, E, Githinji, G, Agoti, CN, Bejon, P, Scott, JAG, Agweyu, A, Warimwe, GM

“…The majority of these mutations mainly target the spike protein, allowing the new variants to escape the immunity previously raised by vaccination and/or infection by earlier variants of SARS-CoV-2. …”

An immunoinformatic approach for identifying and designing conserved multi-epitope vaccines for coronaviruses by Ong, Yu Chuan, Tejo, Bimo Ario, Yap, Wei Boon

“…Methods: This study utilized an immunoinformatic approach to identify evolutionarily conserved CD4+ (HTL) and CD8+ (CTL) T cells, and B-cell epitopes in the coronaviral spike (S) glycoprotein. Results: A total of 132 epitopes were identified, with the majority of them found to be conserved across the bat CoVs, pangolin CoVs, endemic coronaviruses, SARS-CoV-2, and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV). …”

Transfer-recursive-ensemble learning for multi-day COVID-19 prediction in India using recurrent neural networks by Chakraborty, Debasrita, Goswami, Debayan, Ghosh, Susmita, Ghosh, Ashish, Chan, Jonathan H., Wang, Lipo

“…A study is conducted by building four models pre-trained on COVID-19 data from four different countries (United States of America, Brazil, Spain, and Bangladesh) and fine-tuned on India's data. Since the four countries chosen have experienced different types of infection curves, the pre-training provides a transfer learning to the models incorporating diverse situations into account. …”
