On algebraic TVD-VOF methods for tracking material interfaces
We revisit simple algebraic VOF methods for advection of material interfaces based of the well established TVD paradigm. We show that greatly improved representation of contact discontinuities is obtained through use of a novel CFL-dependent limiter ...

Reduced Type‐I Interferon by Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells and Asthma in School‐Aged Children
Low type‐I interferon response to in vitro stimulation of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) with a TLR7/8 agonist (R848) is associated with current asthma in school‐aged children. Low type‐I interferon response is associated with increased level of atopy but appears to have limited impact on early life viral infection susceptibility.

Flexural strength of glass with poly(methyl methacrylate)‐silica nanoparticle composite coatings
Abstract Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) silica nanoparticle composite coatings are applied to glass for improved strength. The coatings are applied to glass slides via the dip‐coating method, and the strength is evaluated using 4‐point bend flexural tests.

Local Variation as a Statistical Hypothesis Test
The goal of image oversegmentation is to divide an image into several pieces, each of which should ideally be part of an object. One of the simplest and yet most effective oversegmentation algorithms is known as local variation (LV) (Felzenszwalb and ...

gSLICr: SLIC superpixels at over 250Hz
We introduce a parallel GPU implementation of the Simple Linear Iterative Clustering (SLIC) superpixel segmentation. Using a single graphic card, our implementation achieves speedups of up to $83\times$ from the standard sequential implementation. Our implementation is fully compatible with the standard sequential implementation and the software is now

The Roles of Plant MicroRNAs in Defence Against Pathogens
miRNAs modulate plant immunity against various pathogens, including fungi, bacteria, viruses, nematodes and oomycetes, by targeting pathogen effectors and modulating hormonal signalling. ABSTRACT MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of noncoding RNAs that play important roles in regulating gene expression.

Nighttime sky/cloud image segmentation
Imaging the atmosphere using ground-based sky cameras is a popular approach to study various atmospheric phenomena. However, it usually focuses on the daytime. Nighttime sky/cloud images are darker and noisier, and thus harder to analyze.

Commodity risk assessment of Petunia spp. and Calibrachoa spp. unrooted cuttings from Uganda
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to evaluate the likelihood of pest freedom at entry in the EU, including both regulated and non‐regulated pests, potentially associated with unrooted cuttings of the genera Petunia and Calibrachoa produced under physical isolation in Uganda.
