PSHead: 3D Head Reconstruction from a Single Image with Diffusion Prior and Self‐Enhancement

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We introduce PSHead, a coarse‐to‐fine framework guided by both object and face priors, to produce a Gaussian‐based 3D avatar for a single frontal‐view reference image. In the coarse stage, we create an initial 3D representation by applying diffusion models trained for general object generation, using Score Distillation Sampling losses over novel views.

Improving spine‐based age estimation in centrarchid fishes using otolith‐derived training sets

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Nonlethal age determination is a priority in fish biology contexts where sacrifice is restricted, but estimates derived from nonlethally attainable structures tend to suffer from poor precision and accuracy relative to necessarily lethal, otolith‐derived estimates.

Salt Treatment Confers Protection Against Acute Carp Edema Virus Reinfection While Promoting Viral Persistence

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carp edema virus (CEV) infects the common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and causes the lethal koi sleepy disease (KSD). Signs of KSD include respiratory, detoxification, and osmoregulatory difficulties. Salt treatment re‐equilibrates blood sodium levels and can save the fish. However, it is unclear whether these fish are immunized, remain chronically

Feeding Laboratory Mice: Comparing a Standard Versus a Purified Diet – Marked Effects on Digestive Physiology

open access: yesJournal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diet composition and processing have a major impact on its utilisation by the animal, as is known from farm and pet animal species. This includes effects on energy and nutrient digestibility, the intermediary metabolism, and the intestinal microbiome, with all the resulting impacts. For laboratory animals, data is scarce on influencing factors

Disruption of Asparagine Synthetase Is Associated to Increased Biomass in Lotus japonicus

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Asparagine (Asn) constitutes the major form of nitrogen translocated within Lotus japonicus plants. In this work we use knock‐out (KO) LORE1 mutants‐deficient in the asparagine synthetase gene (LjASN1), which is the most highly expressed ASN gene in plants grown under non‐symbiotic (NS) conditions, but much less expressed under symbiotic (S ...
