Evolutionary dynamics of the chloroplast genome in Daphne (Thymelaeaceae): comparative analysis with related genera and insights into phylogenetics

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Comparative analysis of chloroplast genomes from 14 genera of Thymelaeaceae revealed variation in gene content, ranging from 128 to 142 genes, primarily influenced by IR expansion/contraction events and pseudogenization of ndhF, ndhI, and ndhG. Two large inversions were detected within the large single‐copy region, including a synapomorphic inversion ...

Characterization and Improvement of the Image Quality of the Data Taken with the Infrared Camera (IRC) Mid-Infrared Channels onboard AKARI

, 2011
Mid-infrared images frequently suffer artifacts and extended point spread functions (PSFs). We investigate the characteristics of the artifacts and the PSFs in images obtained with the Infrared Camera (IRC) onboard AKARI at four mid-infrared bands of the

Artifacts in EEG of simultaneous EEG-fMRI: pulse artifact remainders in the gradient artifact template are a source of artifact residuals after average artifact subtraction

Journal of Neural Engineering, 2018
The simultaneous application of electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) opens up new ways to investigate the human brain. The EEG recordings of simultaneous EEG-fMRI, however, are overlaid to a great degree by fMRI related artifacts and an artifact reduction is mandatory before any EEG analysis.

Age‐Related Changes in Myeloid Cells and Their Impact on Subcutaneous Melanoma Growth in Mice

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
Our findings reveal that age‐related changes in subcutaneous melanoma growth and immunotherapy response are context‐dependent. In models where tumor growth and treatment resistance increase with age, this effect is partly driven by enhanced immunosuppression from myeloperoxidase‐active Gr‐1⁺ myeloid cells.

Empowering Unskilled Production Systems Consultants through On-the-Job Training Support: A Digital Triplet Approach

Systems
This study aims to experimentally confirm whether knowledge that has been challenging to transfer through traditional on-the-job training (OJT) can be effectively transferred by introducing a formalized OJT approach that describes the improvement process

The Associations Between Chronic Active Lesions and White Matter Disease: A 7 Tesla Imaging Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The relationship between paramagnetic rim lesions (PRLs) and surrounding normally appearing white matter (NAWM) disease, potentially contributory to the associations seen between PRLs and clinical impairment, is underexplored. Objectives To assess whether PRLs correlate with a greater degree of NAWM injury in early MS.

Designometry – Formalization of Artifacts and Methods [PDF]

Two interconnected surveys are presented, one of artifacts and one of designometry. Artifacts are objects, which have an originator and do not exist in nature. Designometry is a new field of study, which aims to identify the originators of artifacts. The

Convolutional Neural Network Based Metal Artifact Reduction in X-ray Computed Tomography

, 2018
In the presence of metal implants, metal artifacts are introduced to x-ray CT images. Although a large number of metal artifact reduction (MAR) methods have been proposed in the past decades, MAR is still one of the major problems in clinical x-ray CT ...
