Shading Annotations in the Wild

, 2017
Understanding shading effects in images is critical for a variety of vision and graphics problems, including intrinsic image decomposition, shadow removal, image relighting, and inverse rendering.

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Modified cosine-quadratic reflectance model

Informatyka, Automatyka, Pomiary w Gospodarce i Ochronie Środowiska
In the article, a new light reflectance model is proposed. The model is based on the modified cosine-quadratic bidirectional reflectance distribution function. The concept of bidirectional reflectance distribution function is analyzed. The disadvantages

Design a photovoltaic system based on maximum power point tracking under partial shading [PDF]

, 2019
Photovoltaic systems have been given special attention given their long-term potential advantages. Solar panels can produce maximum power at specific operating points called maximum power points (MPP).

Shape from Shading through Shape Evolution

, 2017
In this paper, we address the shape-from-shading problem by training deep networks with synthetic images. Unlike conventional approaches that combine deep learning and synthetic imagery, we propose an approach that does not need any external shape ...

LDAcoop: Integrating non‐linear population dynamics into the analysis of clonogenic growth in vitro

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Limiting dilution assays (LDAs) quantify clonogenic growth by seeding serial dilutions of cells and scoring wells for colony formation. The fraction of negative wells is plotted against cells seeded and analyzed using the non‐linear modeling of LDAcoop.

Shading Contributes to the Reduction of Stem Mechanical Strength by Decreasing Cell Wall Synthesis in Japonica Rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Low solar radiation caused by industrial development and solar dimming has become a limitation in crop production in China. It is widely accepted that low solar radiation influences many aspects of plant development, including slender, weak stems and ...

Effects of Low Light after Heading on the Yield of Direct Seeding Rice and Its Physiological Response Mechanism

Plants, 2023
As a photophilous plant, rice is susceptible to low-light stress during its growth. The Sichuan Basin is a typical low-light rice-producing area. In this study, eight rice varieties with different shade tolerances were studied from 2021 to 2022.

Sun shield [PDF]

, 1987
A shading device which is capable of compactly storing a flexible shade on a biased, window shade type spring roller is disclosed. It is controlled to deliver the shade selectively to either its operative shading or compact storage ...
