    Abstract Multi-object tracking (MOT) systems typically rely on object detection results for tracking, so the accuracy of the MOT system is significantly affected by the error of the detector. Changes in error usually lead to unstable tracking. Regarding this problem, we proposed an adaptive MOT method based on detection confidence. At first, we use a simple data fusion method to combine the detection results of LiDAR and camera to reduce the large number of false detections. And then we used a factor based on confidence to adjust the estimating covariance matrix and measurement covariance matrix adaptively. The algorithm can judge which is more reliable between prediction and detection, and choose which is more important in the update step. Meanwhile, we set a factor based on confidence to control the search range in the data association module. Our method reduces the impact of detector error while ensuring accuracy and speed, and improves the robustness of the MOT algorithm. Through experiments conducted on the KITTI multi-object tracking dataset, our method has demonstrated significant advantages over state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods in terms of both accuracy and processing speed. The results of MOTA for 90.02% and FPS for 262.

    Abstract Objective: To compare the clinical outcomes of large or giant vestibular schwannomas (VSs) between older patients and younger patients who underwent microsurgery and to explore whether the incidence of postoperative complications increased and whether the postoperative hospital stay was prolonged.
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective matched cohort study based on the surgical approach, maximum tumor diameter and extent of resection. Older patients (≥ 60 years) and a matched group (<60 years) who had undergone microsurgery for VSs between January 2015 and December 2021 were included. Clinical data, surgical outcomes and postoperative complications were analyzed statistically.
    Results: Forty-two older patients (≥ 60 years, 66.0 ± 3.8 years) were identified and matched to younger patients (<60 years, 43.9 ± 11.2 years), and they all underwent microsurgery through a retrosigmoid approach. There were twenty-nine patients with 3-4 cm VSs and thirteen patients with > 4 cm VSs in both groups. The older patients had a higher proportion of imbalance (P = 0.016) and lower American Society of Anesthesiology scores (P = 0.003) before surgery than the younger patients. There was no significant difference in facial nerve function one week (p = 0.851) and one year (p = 0.756) after surgery and no difference in the postoperative complication incidence (40.5% vs. 23.8%, p = 0.102) between the older patients and controls. Furthermore, the older patients had longer postoperative hospital stays than the younger patients (p = 0.043). In the older group, six patients with near total resection and five with subtotal resection were administered stereotactic radiotherapy, and one had recurrence three years after surgery and received conservative treatment. The postoperative follow-up time ranged from 1 to 83 months, with an average of 33.5 ± 21.1 months.
    Conclusions: For older patients (≥ 60 years) with symptomatic, large or giant -VSs, microsurgery is the only effective method to prolong lifespan, alleviate clinical symptoms and cure the tumor. However, radical resection of VSs may result in a decreased preservation rate of facial-acoustic nerve function and an increased postoperative complication incidence. Therefore, subtotal resection followed by stereotactic radiotherapy should be recommended.

    Abstract Phosphorus speciation in the sediments is regulated by a series of physicochemical and microbial processes, and directly affects water phosphorus pool. However, the influence of culture activities and microbial metabolism on the sedimentary phosphorus speciation is poorly studied. In this study, we compared the abundance of distinguishable phosphorus phases and other physicochemical properties of sediments from oyster-farming areas and reference areas. The Geochip 5.0 technique was introduced to reveal the microbiological mechanisms of phosphorus metabolic alteration. The results showed that oyster culture enhanced the bioavailability of phosphorus in sediments. The free organic phosphorus was reduced significantly, whereas the free inorganic phosphorus and iron-bound phosphorus greatly increased in the oyster culture area (P ≤ 0.05). Moreover, the results of Geochip showed that the oyster culture reshaped the microbial network structure in sediments, with typical phosphate-solubilizing and phosphorus-accumulating microbes being enriched by 17.76% and 10.60%. The abundance of functional genes related to the main phosphorus cycle pathways were also significantly increased (P ≤ 0.05) in the culture area compared to the reference area. This work suggested that oyster culture can greatly improve the microbial phosphorus metabolism and provided insights into the environmental recovery and reconstruction from marine aquaculture activities.

    Abstract The occurrence of the 'black-malodorous phenomenon' in a waterbody is a clear sign of a highly eutrophic bay, the formation of which is associated with microbial sulfur and iron metabolism in the sediments. Oyster farming restoration has been widely studied as an important method for treating eutrophication and related ecological problems. However, few studies focus on the ecosystem-level consequences of oyster farming concerning microbial sulfur and iron cycles in the sediment. Here, we compared the physicochemical features and microbial functions of oyster farms with those of reference areas using the Geochip5.0 technique. Our results showed a significant reduction of acid volatile sulfide (AVS) content associated with oyster farming, thus alleviating the black-malodorous status of Shenzhen Bay in China. Oyster farming created loose and porous sedimentary structures and stimulated the oxidation of black-odorous compounds. Moreover, we observed that the introduction of oysters changed microbial biodiversity significantly based on gyrB gene structure, with typical sulfur- and iron-cycling microbes being enriched. We also demonstrated that microbial abilities involved in sulfur and iron metabolism were greatly increased in oyster farming areas compared with reference areas. Under such circumstances, some cascading processes (AVS uptake and rates of organic matter turnover) were improved, which eventually contributed to black odor reduction. From the microecological perspective, we conclude that the biodeposition of oysters was the key factor for water retention and improvement of microbial metabolism. This study suggests that biodeposition shapes the microbial functional communities in adjacent territories and presumably alleviates the black-malodorous compounds in sediments.

    Abstract The introduction of oysters to a waterbody is an efficient method for decreasing levels of eutrophication. Oysters affect sedimental environments and benthic microbes via their roles in nutrient cycling. However, little is known about how long-term oyster culturing affects benthic microbial community assembly. In the present study, top and bottom sediments from an oyster-culture area and non-culture area, in a eutrophic bay with a long history of oyster culturing, were obtained for environmental parameter measurement and microbe identification. Deterministic and stochastic processes in microbial community assembly were assessed. In particular, keystone species identification through network analysis was combined with measured environmental parameters to determine the factors related to community assembly processes. Our results suggest that oyster culturing relates to greater variation in both biological and non-biological sediment profiles. In benthic communities, Proteobacteria and Chloroflexi were the most abundant phyla, and community compositions were significantly different between sample groups. We also found that community assembly was more affected by deterministic factors than stochastic ones, when oysters were present. Moisture, or water content, and pH were identified as affecting deterministic and stochastic processes, respectively, but only water content was a driver associated with oyster culturing. Additionally, although keystone species presented a similar pattern of composition to peripheral species, they responded to their environments differently. Furthermore, model selection, fitting keystone species to community assembly processes, indicates their role in shaping microbial communities.

    Abstract Due to the paired valence electrons configuration, all known two-dimensional (2D) carbon allotropes are intrinsically nonmagnetic. Based on the reported 2D carbon structure database and first-principles calculations, herein we demonstrate that inherent ferromagnetism can be obtained in the prominent allotrope, penta-graphene, which has a unique Mexican-hat valence band edge, giving rise to van Hove singularities and electronic instability. Induced by modest hole-doping that is achievable in electrolyte gate, the semiconducting penta-graphene can be transformed into different ferromagnetic half-metals with room-temperature stability and switchable spin directions. In particular, multiple anisotropic Weyl states, including type-I and type-II Weyl cones and hybrid quasi Weyl nodal loop, can be found in a sizable energy window of spin-down half-metal under proper strains. These findings not only identify a promising carbon allotrope to obtain the inherent magnetism for carbon-based spintronic devices, but highlight the possibility to realize different Weyl states by combining the electronic and mechanical means as well.

    Abstract Some algae possess a multi-morphic life cycle, either in the form of free-living solitary cells or colonies which constantly occur in algal blooms. Though colony formation seems to consume extra energy and materials, many algae tend to outbreak in form of colonies. Here, we hypothesized that colony formation is a selected evolutionary strategy to improve population competitiveness and environmental adaptation. To test the hypothesis, different sizes of colonies and solitary cells in a natural bloom of Phaeocystis globosa were investigated. The large colony showed a relatively low oxidant stress level, a nutrient trap effect, and high nutrient use efficiency. The colonial nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations were about 5–10 times higher than solitary cell phycosphere and cellular nutrient allocation decreased with the enlargement of the colonial diameter following the economies of scale law. These features provide the colony with monopolistic competence and could function as an evolutionary strategy for competitive adaptation.
