    Abstract In this study, magnesium hydroxide (MH) particles with distinct morphologies were obtained through direct precipitation and subsequent hydrothermal treatment with various magnesium salts. The synthesized products were systematically characterized and utilized for the removal of Pb(ii) ions from aqueous solutions. The adsorption process of Pb(ii) by two different MH structures, namely flower globular magnesium hydroxide (FGMH) and hexagonal plate magnesium hydroxide (HPMH), adhered to the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order model. FGMH exhibited higher Pb(ii) removal capacity (2612 mg g

    Abstract The traditional algorithms for generating 3D human point clouds often face challenges in dealing with issues such as phantom targets and target classification caused by electromagnetic multipath effects, resulting in a lack of accuracy in the generated point clouds and requiring manual labeling of the position of the human body. To address these problems, this paper proposes an adaptive method for generating 3D human point clouds based on 4D millimeter-wave radar (Self-Adaptive mPoint, SA-mPoint). This method estimates the rough human point cloud by considering micro-motion and respiration characteristics while combining the echo dynamic with static information. Furthermore, it enhances the density of point cloud generation. It reduces interference from multipath noise through multi-frame dynamic fusion and an adaptive density-based clustering algorithm based on the center points of humans. The effectiveness of the SA-mPoint algorithm is verified through experiments conducted using the TI Millimeter Wave Cascade Imaging Radar Radio Frequency Evaluation Module 77G 4D cascade radar to collect challenging raw data consisting of single-target and multi-target human poses in an open classroom setting. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves an average accuracy rate of 97.94% for generating point clouds. Compared to the popular TI-mPoint algorithm, it generates a higher number of point clouds on average (increased by 87.94%), improves the average accuracy rate for generating point clouds (increased by 78.3%), and reduces the running time on average (reduced by 11.41%). This approach exhibits high practicality and promising application prospects.

    Abstract Parapanteles hypsidrae (Wilkinson, 1928) and Protapanteles immunis (Haliday, 1834) are the most important parasitic wasps of Ectropis grisescens Warren and Ectropis obliqua (Prout). We sequenced and annotated the mitochondrial genomes of Pa. hyposidrae and Pr. immunis, which are 17,063 bp and 16,397 bp in length, respectively, and possess 37 mitochondrial genes. We discovered two novel types of gene rearrangement, the local inversion of nad4L in Pa. hyposidrae and the remote inversion of the block cox3-nad3-nad5-nad4 in Pr. immunis, within the mitogenomes of Braconidae. The phylogenetic analysis supported the subfamily Microgastrinae is a monophyletic group, but the tribes Apantelini and Cotesiini within this subfamily are paraphyletic groups.

    Abstract Transfer learning has emerged as a key approach in the machine learning domain, enabling the application of knowledge derived from one domain to improve performance on subsequent tasks. Given the often limited information about these subsequent tasks, a strong transfer learning approach calls for the model to capture a diverse range of features during the initial pretraining stage. However, recent research suggests that, without sufficient regularization, the network tends to concentrate on features that primarily reduce the pretraining loss function. This tendency can result in inadequate feature learning and impaired generalization capability for target tasks. To address this issue, we propose Variance-Covariance Regularization (VCR), a regularization technique aimed at fostering diversity in the learned network features. Drawing inspiration from recent advancements in the self-supervised learning approach, our approach promotes learned representations that exhibit high variance and minimal covariance, thus preventing the network from focusing solely on loss-reducing features. We empirically validate the efficacy of our method through comprehensive experiments coupled with in-depth analytical studies on the learned representations. In addition, we develop an efficient implementation strategy that assures minimal computational overhead associated with our method. Our results indicate that VCR is a powerful and efficient method for enhancing transfer learning performance for both supervised learning and self-supervised learning, opening new possibilities for future research in this domain.

    Abstract Self-supervised learning has shown superior performances over supervised methods on various vision benchmarks. The siamese network, which encourages embeddings to be invariant to distortions, is one of the most successful self-supervised visual representation learning approaches. Among all the augmentation methods, masking is the most general and straightforward method that has the potential to be applied to all kinds of input and requires the least amount of domain knowledge. However, masked siamese networks require particular inductive bias and practically only work well with Vision Transformers. This work empirically studies the problems behind masked siamese networks with ConvNets. We propose several empirical designs to overcome these problems gradually. Our method performs competitively on low-shot image classification and outperforms previous methods on object detection benchmarks. We discuss several remaining issues and hope this work can provide useful data points for future general-purpose self-supervised learning.

    Abstract Stem cell and cell therapies, particularly autologous cell therapies, are becoming a common practice. However, in order for these technologies to achieve wide-scale clinical application, the prohibitively high cost associated with these therapies must be addressed through creative engineering. Membranes can be a disruptive technology to reshape the bioprocessing and manufacture of cellular products and significantly reduce the cost of autologous cell therapies. Examples of successful membrane applications include expansions of CAR-T cells, various human stem cells, and production of extracellular vesicles (EVs) using hollow fibre membrane bioreactors. Novel membranes with tailored functions and surface properties and novel membrane modules that can accommodate the changing needs for surface area and transport properties are to be developed to fulfil this key role.

    Abstract Currently, little information is available on relative contributions among biochar (BC), activated carbon (AC), magnetic BC (MBC), and magnetic AC (MAC) to enhance the effectiveness of a microbial electrolytic cells coupled with anaerobic digestion (MEC-AD) system and the impact of carbon-based materials on microbial community. In this study, six anaerobic reactors were constructed to demonstrate the effects of different carbon-based materials on organic matter elimination in the MEC-AD system. Remarkably, the reactor containing MBC exhibited a significant increase in organic removal, achieving 95.0 % chemical oxygen demand (COD) eradication. Additionally, the MBC-added MEC-AD reactor yields acetic acid at a rate 2.9 times higher than that of the BC-added reactor. Electrical stimulation enriched electro-producing bacteria such as Pseudomonas (18.1 %) and Gordonia (6.8 %), which were further promoted by the addition of MBC, indicating that the microbial communities cultivated with the MBC could provide the necessary microbiome for the MEC.
