    Abstract Self-supervised learning, which is strikingly referred to as the dark matter of intelligence, is gaining more attention in biomedical applications of deep learning. In this work, we introduce a novel self-supervision objective for the analysis of cells in biomedical microscopy images. We propose training deep learning models to pseudo-colorize masked cells. We use a physics-informed pseudo-spectral colormap that is well suited for colorizing cell topology. Our experiments reveal that approximating semantic segmentation by pseudo-colorization is beneficial for subsequent fine-tuning on cell detection. Inspired by the recent success of masked image modeling, we additionally mask out cell parts and train to reconstruct these parts to further enrich the learned representations. We compare our pre-training method with self-supervised frameworks including contrastive learning (SimCLR), masked autoencoders (MAEs), and edge-based self-supervision. We build upon our previous work and train hybrid models for cell detection, which contain both convolutional and vision transformer modules. Our pre-training method can outperform SimCLR, MAE-like masked image modeling, and edge-based self-supervision when pre-training on a diverse set of six fluorescence microscopy datasets. Code is available at: https://github.com/roydenwa/pseudo-colorize-masked-cells.

    Abstract Wind turbines organized in wind farms will be one of the main electric power sources of the future. Each wind turbine causes a wake with a reduced wind speed. This wake influences the power of downstream turbines. Therefore, there is a strong interaction between the individual wind turbines in a wind farm. This interaction is an opportunity for optimal control to maximize the total power and decrease the load (i.e., tower activity and pitch activity) of a wind farm. We use the already known axial-induction-based control but investigate its potential in the case of a wind gust using mathematical optimization. This case is particularly interesting because a wind gust requires a dynamic control reaction and the consideration of the time delay with which downstream turbines are affected. In particular, this enables to reduce the tower load of downstream wind turbines by dynamic axial-induction-based control of an upstream turbine.

    Abstract Background: Leaf hairiness (pubescence) is an important plant phenotype which regulates leaf transpiration, affects sunlight penetration, and provides increased resistance or susceptibility against certain insects. Cotton accounts for 80% of global natural fibre production, and in this crop leaf hairiness also affects fibre yield and value. Currently, this key phenotype is measured visually which is slow, laborious and operator-biased. Here, we propose a simple, high-throughput and low-cost imaging method combined with a deep-learning model, HairNet, to classify leaf images with great accuracy.
    Results: A dataset of [Formula: see text] 13,600 leaf images from 27 genotypes of Cotton was generated. Images were collected from leaves at two different positions in the canopy (leaf 3 & leaf 4), from genotypes grown in two consecutive years and in two growth environments (glasshouse & field). This dataset was used to build a 4-part deep learning model called HairNet. On the whole dataset, HairNet achieved accuracies of 89% per image and 95% per leaf. The impact of leaf selection, year and environment on HairNet accuracy was then investigated using subsets of the whole dataset. It was found that as long as examples of the year and environment tested were present in the training population, HairNet achieved very high accuracy per image (86-96%) and per leaf (90-99%). Leaf selection had no effect on HairNet accuracy, making it a robust model.
    Conclusions: HairNet classifies images of cotton leaves according to their hairiness with very high accuracy. The simple imaging methodology presented in this study and the high accuracy on a single image per leaf achieved by HairNet demonstrates that it is implementable at scale. We propose that HairNet replaces the current visual scoring of this trait. The HairNet code and dataset can be used as a baseline to measure this trait in other species or to score other microscopic but important phenotypes.

    Abstract High Definition (HD) maps are necessary for many applications of automated driving (AD), but their manual creation and maintenance is very costly. Vehicle fleet data from series production vehicles can be used to automatically generate HD maps, but the data is often incomplete and noisy. We propose a system for the generation of HD maps from vehicle fleet data, which is tolerant to missing or misclassified detections and can handle drives with multiple routes, generating a single complete map, model-free and without prior reference lines. Using randomly selected drives as pivot drives, a step-wise lateral sampling of detections is performed. These sampled points are then clustered and aligned using Expectation Maximization (EM), estimating a lateral offset for each drive to compensate localization errors. The clustered points are replaced with the maxima of their probability density function (PDF) and connected to form polylines using a modified rectangular linear assignment algorithm. The data from vehicles on varying routes is then fused into a hierarchical singular map graph. The proposed approach achieves an average accuracy below 0.5 meters compared to a hand annotated ground truth map, as well as correctly resolving lane splits and merges, proving the feasibility of the use of vehicle fleet data for the generation of highway HD maps.

    Abstract During the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), global sea levels were 120–130 m lower than today, resulting in the emergence of most continental shelves and extirpation of subtidal organisms from these areas. During the interglacial periods, rapid inundation of shelf regions created a dynamic environment for coastal organisms, such as the charismatic leafy seadragon (Phycodurus eques, Syngnathidae), a brooder with low dispersal ability inhabiting kelp beds in temperate Australia. Reconstructions of the palaeoshoreline revealed that the increase of shallow areas since the LGM was not uniform across the species' range and we investigated the effects of these asymmetries on genetic diversity and structuring. Using targeted capture of 857 variable ultraconserved elements (UCEs, 2,845 single nucleotide polymorphisms) in 68 individuals, we found that the regionally different shelf topographies were paralleled by contrasting population genetic patterns. In the west, populations may not have persisted through sea‐level lows because shallow seabed was very limited. Shallow genetic structure, weak expansion signals and a westward cline in genetic diversity indicate a postglacial recolonization of the western part of the range from a more eastern location following sea‐level rise. In the east, shallow seabed persisted during the LGM and increased considerably after the flooding of large bays, which resulted in strong demographic expansions, deeper genetic structure and higher genetic diversity. This study suggests that postglacial flooding with rising sea levels produced locally variable signatures in colonizing populations.

    Abstract Background: Establishing the existence of health inequalities remains a high research and policy agenda item in the United Kingdom. We describe ethnic and socio-economic differences in paediatric cancer survival, focusing specifically on the extent to which disparities have changed over a 20-year period.
    Methods: Cancer registration data for 2674 children (0-14 years) in Yorkshire were analysed. Five-year survival estimates by ethnic group (south Asian/non-south Asian) and Townsend deprivation fifths (I-V) were compared over time (1997-2016) for leukaemia, lymphoma, central nervous system (CNS) and other solid tumours. Hazard ratios (HR: 95% CI) from adjusted Cox models quantified the joint effect of ethnicity and deprivation on mortality risk over time, framed through causal interpretation of the deprivation coefficient.
    Results: Increasing deprivation was associated with significantly higher risk of death for children with leukaemia (1.11 (1.03-1.20)) and all cancers between 1997 and 2001. While we observed a trend towards reducing differences in survival over time in this group, a contrasting trend was observed for CNS tumours whereby sizeable variation in outcome remained for cases diagnosed until 2012. South Asian children with lymphoma had a 15% reduced chance of surviving at least 5 years compared to non-south Asian, across the study period.
    Discussion: Even in the United Kingdom, with a universally accessible healthcare system, socio-economic and ethnic disparities in childhood cancer survival exist. Findings should inform where resources should be directed to provide all children with an equitable survival outcome following a cancer diagnosis.
