Realistic Facial Age Transformation with 3D Uplifting

Computer Graphics Forum, Volume 43, Issue 4, July 2024.
Abstract While current facial re‐ageing methods can produce realistic results, they purely focus on the 2D age transformation. In this work, we present an approach to transform the age of a person in both facial appearance and shape across different ages while preserving their identity.

Chromosome‐level genome assembly of the aster leafhopper (Macrosteles quadrilineatus) reveals the role of environment and microbial symbiosis in shaping pest insect genome evolution

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 24, Issue 3, April 2024.
Abstract Leafhoppers comprise over 20,000 plant‐sap feeding species, many of which are important agricultural pests. Most species rely on two ancestral bacterial symbionts, Sulcia and Nasuia, for essential nutrition lacking in their phloem and xylem plant sap diets. To understand how pest leafhopper genomes evolve and are shaped by microbial symbioses,

Oriented Bedrock Samples Drilled by the Perseverance Rover on Mars

Earth and Space Science, Volume 11, Issue 3, March 2024.
Abstract A key objective of the Perseverance rover mission is to acquire samples of Martian rocks for future return to Earth. Eventual laboratory analyses of these samples would address key questions about the evolution of the Martian climate, interior, and habitability.

Fixing the shadows while moving the gnomon [PDF]

, 2015
It is a common practice to fix a vertical gnomon and study the moving shadow cast by it. This shows our local solar time and gives us a hint on the season in which we perform the observation.

A framework for identifying fertility gene targets for mammalian pest control

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 24, Issue 2, February 2024.
Abstract Fertility‐targeted gene drives have been proposed as an ethical genetic approach for managing wild populations of vertebrate pests for public health and conservation benefit. This manuscript introduces a framework to identify and evaluate target gene suitability based on biological gene function, gene expression and results from mouse knockout

A Preliminary Study on the Yang-cheon-cheok (量天尺) in the Late Joseon Dynasty [PDF]

Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2015
We investigated the six remaining Yang-cheon-cheoks (量天尺), which were first described in the Veritable Record of King Sukjong (肅宗實錄). These woodblock sundials from Korea are structurally very similar to a Gyupyo (圭表, gnomon) or an altitude sundial and ...

High‐Latitude Geomagnetic Secular Variation at the End of the Cretaceous Normal Superchron Recorded by Volcanic Flows From the Okhotsk‐Chukotka Volcanic Belt

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 129, Issue 1, January 2024.
Abstract The Cretaceous Normal Superchron (CNS, 84–121 Ma) is a singular period of the geodynamo's history, identified by a prolonged absence of polarity reversals. To better characterize the paleosecular variation (PSV) of the geomagnetic field at the end of this interval, we sampled seven continuous sequences of lava flows from the Okhotsk‐Chukotka ...

Solar Astrometry in Rome at the End of the Maunder Minimum

Universe
With the great Clementine Gnomon in St. Maria degli Angeli, a 45 m pinhole meridian line, built in 1700–1702 upon the will of Pope Clemens XI, Francesco Bianchini inaugurated the Roman tradition of solar astrometry.

Commodity risk assessment of Corylus avellana plants from the UK

EFSA Journal, Volume 22, Issue 1, January 2024.
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to prepare and deliver risk assessments for commodities listed in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2019 as ‘High risk plants, plant products and other objects’. This Scientific Opinion covers plant health risks posed by plants of Corylus avellana imported from the ...
