文摘The development of generative architectures has resulted in numerous novel deep-learning models that generate images using text inputs.However,humans naturally use speech for visualization prompts.Therefore,this paper proposes an architecture that integrates speech prompts as input to image-generation Generative Adversarial Networks(GANs)model,leveraging Speech-to-Text translation along with the CLIP+VQGAN model.The proposed method involves translating speech prompts into text,which is then used by the Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining(CLIP)+Vector Quantized Generative Adversarial Network(VQGAN)model to generate images.This paper outlines the steps required to implement such a model and describes in detail the methods used for evaluating the model.The GAN model successfully generates artwork from descriptions using speech and text prompts.Experimental outcomes of synthesized images demonstrate that the proposed methodology can produce beautiful abstract visuals containing elements from the input prompts.The model achieved a Frechet Inception Distance(FID)score of 28.75,showcasing its capability to produce high-quality and diverse images.The proposed model can find numerous applications in educational,artistic,and design spaces due to its ability to generate images using speech and the distinct abstract artistry of the output images.This capability is demonstrated by giving the model out-of-the-box prompts to generate never-before-seen images with plausible realistic qualities.

文摘Topographic complexity supports the maintenance of a high diversity of microhabitats,which may act as important‘safe havens’-or microrefugia-for biodiversity.Microrefugia are sites with specific environmental conditions that facilitate the persistence of species during environmental changes and exhibit unique ecoevolutionary dynamics.However,our knowledge about how topographic complexity and related ecoevolutionary selective forces influence the functional and phylogenetic signatures of species assemblages in microrefugia is very limited.Although the conceptual framework on the systematic integration of plant functional traits into the study of refugia is well established,more empirical studies on functional trait composition and functional diversity in refugia are urgently needed for more effective conservation.Here we analyzed the distribution of various plant functional traits and phylogenetic patterns in microhabitats(south-and north-facing slopes,and bottoms)of 30 large topographic depressions(i.e.doline microrefugia)and microhabitats of the surrounding plateaus in two distant forested karst regions.We found that plant assemblages in the understory of dolines and their surroundings are characterized by unique functional values and combinations of traits.Doline bottoms had the highest functional diversity among doline microhabitats and supported plant assemblages with considerably different trait compositions from the plateaus.Bottoms also had the highest phylogenetic diversity.These results suggest that topographic complexity in forested dolines has a significant effect on the distribution of plant functional traits in the understory.High functional and phylogenetic diversity in doline bottoms can have important consequences for the long-term survival of plant populations,highlighting that these microhabitats may provide a higher resilience and support an adaptive community-level response to natural and anthropogenic stressors.Understanding mechanisms that drive the survival of species within microrefugia is required to determine the best conservation and management strategies.

文摘The relentless pursuit of advanced X-ray detection technologies has been significantly bolstered by the emergence of metal halides perovskites(MHPs)and their derivatives,which possess remarkable light yield and X-ray sensitivity.This comprehensive review delves into cutting-edge approaches for optimizing MHP scintillators performances by enhancing intrinsic physical properties and employing engineering radioluminescent(RL)light strategies,underscoring their potential for developing materials with superior high-resolution X-ray detection and imaging capabilities.We initially explore into recent research focused on strategies to effectively engineer the intrinsic physical properties of MHP scintillators,including light yield and response times.Additionally,we explore innovative engineering strategies involving stacked structures,waveguide effects,chiral circularly polarized luminescence,increased transparency,and the fabrication of flexile MHP scintillators,all of which effectively manage the RL light to achieve high-resolution and high-contrast X-ray imaging.Finally,we provide a roadmap for advancing next-generation MHP scintillators,highlighting their transformative potential in high-performance X-ray detection systems.
文摘BACKGROUND Immunoglobulin G4-related disease(IgG4-RD)is a persistent and progressive autoimmune condition marked by inflammation and fibrotic changes in the affected tissues.Cases of IgG4-RD causing pulmonary lesions are relatively rare,and some may be misdiagnosed as pulmonary tuberculosis.CASE SUMMARY In this report,we present an uncommon instance of IgG4-related lung disease,which was diagnosed through lung tissue biopsy conducted via puncture.A 67-year-old male was hospitalized with a two-month history of cough and sputum production.Chest computed tomography(CT)revealed infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis in both upper lungs.However,the initial diagnosis was unclear,and the patient received HZRE quadruple therapy for tuberculosis at a local hospital.After 45 days of anti-tuberculosis treatment,the patient's cough and sputum worsened,and he began coughing up blood,prompting transfer to our hospital.Serum tests revealed elevated IgG4 levels.A biopsy of a right lung showed localized fibrous and extensive plasma cell infiltration,with 30-40 IgG4-positive cells per high-power field,and an IgG4/IgG ratio of 40%.These findings led to a diagnosis of IgG4-related lung disease.Following treatment with prednisone and mycophenolate mofetil,follow-up lung CT scans showed significant lesion improvement.CONCLUSION The chest CT findings of IgG4-RD are diverse and nonspecific,often leading to misdiagnosis as pulmonary tuberculosis,especially in primary care settings with limited diagnostic resources.We confirmed the diagnosis of IgG4-related lung disease through histological examination.

文摘Efficient and innovative nano-catalytic oxidation technologies offer a breakthrough in removing emerging contaminants(ECs)from water,surpassing the limitations of traditional methods.Environmental functional materials(EFMs),particularly high-end oxidation systems using eco-friendly nanomaterials,show promise for absorbing and degrading ECs.This literature review presents a comprehensive analysis of diverse traditional restoration techniques-biological,physical,and chemical-assessing their respective applications and limitations in pesticide-contaminated water purification.Through meticulous comparison,we unequivocally advocate for the imperative integration of environmentally benign nanomaterials,notably titanium-based variants,in forthcoming methodologies.Our in-depth exploration scrutinizes the catalytic efficacy,underlying mechanisms,and adaptability of pioneering titanium-based nanomaterials across a spectrum of environmental contexts.Additionally,strategic recommendations are furnished to surmount challenges and propel the frontiers of implementing eco-friendly nanomaterials in practical water treatment scenarios.
文摘This study presents an emission inventory for 2022,focusing on assessing the emissions of PM_(2.5),PM_(10),NO_(x),SO_(2),CO,and VOC from India's road transport,residential,and thermal power sectors.Road transport emissions were estimated using a vehicle kilometer traveled methodology derived from a survey of 200,000 vehicles.A regression analysis was conducted to assess residential fuel usage,considering recent changes in consumption patterns and updated data on cleaner fuels.Estimates for the thermal power sector were based on emission monitoring data.The residential sector is the predominant source of PM_(2.5)(1112 kt),PM_(10)(1678 kt),CO(10630 kt),and VOC(2558 kt).The thermal power sector is the predominant source of secondary air pollutant precursors such as NO_(x)(2328 kt)and SO_(2)(4694 kt).India has the highest emission intensity per gross domestic product(GDP)across sectors compared to other countries.For example,PM_(2.5)emissions per GDP from the roads in India are 14,21,and 10 times that of those in China,the USA,and Europe.The southern(29%),eastern(30%),and central(36%)regions were the notable contributors to emissions from transport,residential,and thermal power sectors.Urban areas contributed 5%of the total residential sector emissions across India but 25%of the total road transport sector emissions nationwide.Moreover,power plants within or near the non-attainment cities were responsible for 12%of the overall thermal power pollution recorded across India.The study identifies unequal emission burdens,with economically disadvantaged regions bearing the brunt.

文摘Variations in ocean mixed layer depth(MLD)show a significant impact on energy balance in the global climate systems and marine ecosystems.At present,the accuracy of modeling MLD,especially in the region with complex ocean dynamics,remains a challenge,thus calling for an emergency using artificial intelligence approach to improve the assessment of the MLD.A novel convolutional neural network model was developed based on a dual-attention module(DA-CNN)to estimate the MLD in the Bay of Bengal(BoB)by integrating multi-source remote sensing data and Argo gridded data.Compared with the original CNN model,the DA-CNN model exhibits superior performance with notable improvements in the annual average root mean square error(RMSE)and R2 values by 13.0%and 8.4%,respectively,while more accurately capturing the seasonal variations in MLD.Moreover,the results using the DA-CNN model show minimum RMSE and maximum R2 values,in comparison to the calculation by the random forest,artificial neural network model,and the hybrid coordinate ocean model.Accordingly,our findings suggest that the newly developed DA-CNN model provides an effective advantage in studying the MLD and the associated ocean processes.

文摘The presence of a positive deep surgical margin in tongue squamous cell carcinoma(TSCC)significantly elevates the risk of local recurrence.Therefore,a prompt and precise intraoperative assessment of margin status is imperative to ensure thorough tumor resection.In this study,we integrate Raman imaging technology with an artificial intelligence(AI)generative model,proposing an innovative approach for intraoperative margin status diagnosis.This method utilizes Raman imaging to swiftly and non-invasively capture tissue Raman images,which are then transformed into hematoxylin-eosin(H&E)-stained histopathological images using an AI generative model for histopathological diagnosis.The generated H&E-stained images clearly illustrate the tissue’s pathological conditions.Independently reviewed by three pathologists,the overall diagnostic accuracy for distinguishing between tumor tissue and normal muscle tissue reaches 86.7%.Notably,it outperforms current clinical practices,especially in TSCC with positive lymph node metastasis or moderately differentiated grades.This advancement highlights the potential of AI-enhanced Raman imaging to significantly improve intraoperative assessments and surgical margin evaluations,promising a versatile diagnostic tool beyond TSCC.

文摘Current research on heterogeneous advanced oxidation processes(HAOPs)predominantly emphasizes catalyst iteration and innovation.Significant efforts have been made to regulate the electron structure and optimize the electron distribution,thereby increasing the catalytic activity.However,this focus often overshadows an equally essential aspect of HAOPs:the adsorption effect.Adsorption is a critical initiator for triggering the interaction of oxidants and contaminants with heterogeneous catalysts.The efficacy of these interactions is influenced by a variety of physicochemical properties,including surface chemistry and pore sizes,which determine the affinities between contaminants and material surfaces.This dispar ity in affinity is pivotal because it underpins the selective removal of contaminants,especially in complex waste streams containing diverse contaminants and competing matrices.Consequently,understanding and mastering these interfacial interactions is fundamentally indispensable not only for improving pro cess efficiency but also for enhancing the selectivity of contaminant removal.Herein,we highlight the importance of adsorption-driven interfacial interactions for fundamentally elucidating the catalytic mechanisms of HAOPs.Such interactions dictate the overall performance of the treatment processes by balancing the adsorption,reaction,and desorption rates on the catalyst surfaces.Elucidating the adsorption effect not only shifts the paradigm in understanding HAOPs but also improves their practical ity in water treatment and wastewater decontamination.Overall,we propose that revisiting adsorption driven interfacial interactions holds great promise for optimizing catalytic processes to develop effective HAOP strategies.

文摘Silicon(Si)is a promising anode material for rechargeable batteries due to its high theoretical capacity and abundance,but its practical application is hindered by the continuous growth of porous solid-electrolyte interphase(SEI),leading to capacity fade.Herein,a LiF-Pie structured SEI is proposed,with LiF nanodomains encapsulated in the inner layer of the organic cross-linking silane matrix.A series of advanced techniques such as cryogenic electron microscopy,time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry,and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry have provided detailed insights into the formation mechanism,nanostructure,and chemical composition of the interface.With such SEI,the capacity retention of LiCoO_(2)||Si is significantly improved from 49.6%to 88.9%after 300 cycles at 100 mA g^(-1).These findings provide a desirable interfacial design principle with enhanced(electro)chemical and mechanical stability,which are crucial for sustaining Si anode functionality,thereby significantly advancing the reliability and practical application of Si-based anodes.

文摘A primary hallmark of pathological cardiac hypertrophy is excess protein synthesis due to enhanced translational activity.However,regulatory mechanisms at the translational level under cardiac stress remain poorly understood.Here we examined the translational regulations in a mouse cardiac hypertrophy model induced by transaortic constriction(TAC)and explored the conservative networks versus the translatome pattern in human dilated cardiomyopathy(DCM).The results showed that the heart weight to body weight ratio was significantly elevated,and the ejection fraction and fractional shortening significantly decreased 8 weeks after TAC.Puromycin incorporation assay showed that TAC significantly increased protein synthesis rate in the left ventricle.RNAseq revealed 1,632 differentially expressed genes showing functional enrichment in pathways including extracellular matrix remodeling,metabolic processes,and signaling cascades associated with pathological cardiomyocyte growth.When combined with ribosome profiling analysis,we revealed that translation efficiency(TE)of 1,495 genes was enhanced,while the TE of 933 genes was inhibited following TAC.In DCM patients,1,354 genes were upregulated versus 1,213 genes were downregulated at the translation level.Although the majority of the genes were not shared between mouse and human,we identified 93 genes,including Nos3,Kcnj8,Adcy4,Itpr1,Fasn,Scd1,etc.,with highly conserved translational regulations.These genes were remarkably associated with myocardial function,signal transduction,and energy metabolism,particularly related to cGMP-PKG signaling and fatty acid metabolism.Motif analysis revealed enriched regulatory elements in the 5′untranslated regions(5′UTRs)of transcripts with differential TE,which exhibited strong cross-species sequence conservation.Our study revealed novel regulatory mechanisms at the translational level in cardiac hypertrophy and identified conserved translation-sensitive targets with potential applications to treat cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure in the clinic.

文摘Subduction initiation is a critical part of the plate tectonic system,but its geodynamic process is still poorly understood due to the lack of well-preserved geological records.Based on new zircon U–Pb–Hf isotopic and whole-rock geochemical data,we report the first discovery of a latest Cambrian–Early Ordovician forearc-arc rock sequence in the Eastern Alps.This sequence includes granitic gneisses,amphibolites,and amphibole plagiogneisses from the ophiolitic Speik Complex and Gleinalpe Complex.These rocks exhibit geochemical affinities with typical oceanic plagiogranites,forearc basalts(FABs),and island arc basalts,respectively.The latest Cambrian plagiogranitic protoliths(491±2 Ma)are shearing-type plagiogranites that were formed in the tectonic setting of forearc spreading.The latest Cambrian FABs(496–489 Ma)have similar geochemical compositions and positiveεHf(t)values(+2.5 to+14.9)to the depleted mid-ocean ridge basalts.However,they show depletion in high field strength elements(HFSEs;e.g.,Nb,Ta,and Zr)and have relatively low Ti/V ratios.These features suggest that they were derived from a depleted mantle source modified by subducting slab-released components in a forearc environment.The Early Ordovician basaltic protoliths(476–472 Ma)of amphibole plagiogneisses show enrichment in large ion lithophile elements and depletion in HFSEs(e.g.Nb,Ta,Zr,and Hf),implying a mature island arc environment.These metaigneous rocks,along with the coeval boninite-like high-Mg amphibolites near the study area,form a typical rock sequence resembling that of the Izu–Bonin–Mariana(IBM)arc system.The Speik and Gleinalpe complexes document a complete magmatic evolution from subduction initiation to mature arc development within the West Proto-Tethys Ocean.Integrating our new data with published work,we reconstruct the late Ediacaran–early Paleozoic tectonic evolution of the northern Gondwana.During the late Ediacaran–early Cambrian,the rollback of the West Proto-Tethys oceanic plate triggered the separation of the Wechsel-Silvretta-Gleinalpe continental arc from the northern Gondwana.This process led to the formation of the Speik back-arc oceanic basin,a southwestern branch of the West Proto-Tethys Ocean.In the latest Cambrian–Early Ordovician,subduction initiation occurred in the Speik Ocean,which subsequently developed into an intra-oceanic arc system.During the Early Devonian,the Speik Ocean closed and the Wechsel-Silvretta-Gleinalpe continental arc reattached to the Gondwana,as evidenced by the metamorphic event at ca.400 Ma.
