Pre-training, fine-tuning, and distillation (PFD): Automatically generating machine learning force fields from universal models [PDF]

PHYSICAL REVIEW MATERIALS
Universal force fields generalizable across the periodic table represent a new trend in computational materials science. However, the applications of universal force fields in material simulations are limited by their slow inference speed and the lack of

Knowledge, attitudes, and practice of pelvic floor dysfunction and pelvic floor ultrasound among women of childbearing age in Sichuan, China

Frontiers in Public Health, 2023
ObjectivePelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) is highly prevalent among women. Pelvic floor ultrasound (PFU) is a critical method for assessing PFD. This study examined the knowledge, attitudes, and practice (KAP) of women of childbearing age regarding PFD and

Current Terminology of Pelvic Floor Dysfunctions

Bezmiâlem Science, 2021
Pelvic floor disorders (PFD) affect the quality of life of millions of people worldwide. PFD, which increase in frequency with advancing age, affect not only the individual with the symptoms but also the family, caregivers and the society.

Demographic and clinical parameters are comparable across different types of pediatric feeding disorder

Scientific Reports, 2022
Knowledge and understanding of risk mechanisms associated with pediatric feeding disorder (PFD) remain limited. We aimed to investigate factors associated with PFD and their relation to specific PFD types according to the recent consensus WHO-based ...

Can the progressive increase of C₄ bundle sheath leakiness at low PFD be explained by incomplete suppression of photorespiration?

Plant, Cell and Environment, 2010
The ability to concentrate CO2 around Rubisco allows C-4 crops to suppress photorespiration. However, as phosphoenolpyruvate regeneration requires ATP, the energetic efficiency of the C-4 pathway at low photosynthetic flux densities (PFD) becomes a ...

Modeling the probability of failure on demand (pfd) of a 1-out-of-2 system in which one channel is "quasi-perfect"

Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 2017
Our earlier work proposed ways of overcoming some of the difficulties of lack of independence in reliability modeling of 1-out-of-2 software-based systems.

Pirfenidone Attenuates the EMT Process and the Secretion of VEGF in TGF-β2-Induced ARPE-19 Cells via Inhibiting the Activation of the NF-κB/Snail Signaling Pathway

Journal of Ophthalmology, 2023
Aim. Pirfenidone (PFD), an antifibrotic drug, has various beneficial functions such as antioxidant, antifibrotic, and anti-inflammatory effects. This study aimed to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying how PFD modulates retinal pigment epithelial (

Prevalence of pelvic floor dysfunction and associated risk factors among Nulligravida college students: a cross-sectional study

Bulletin of Faculty of Physical Therapy, 2023
Background Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) is a global health problem affecting millions of women worldwide. Vaginal childbirth has been reported to be the most important factor in the etiology of PFD though a prior study also reported a high prevalence ...
