Initiative Defense against Facial Manipulation [PDF]
Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence,
35(2), 1619-1627, 2021, 2021 Benefiting from the development of generative adversarial networks (GAN), facial manipulation has achieved significant progress in both academia and industry recently. It inspires an increasing number of entertainment applications but also incurs severe threats to individual privacy and even political security meanwhile.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.The addition of 10 μg cm−2 of Cry1Ac to the surface of GS‐omega/kappa‐Hxtx‐Hv1a (ω/κ‐Hv1a) incorporated diet can significantly increase the mortality of Cry‐resistant Helicoverpa zea compared to diets without the Cry1Ac toxin. Abstract BACKGROUND Helicoverpa zea and Spodoptera frugiperda are destructive insect pests of cotton and corn.

Giant Surface Plasmon Induced Drag Effect (SPIDEr) in Metal Nanowires [PDF]
, 2009 Here, for the first time we predict a giant surface plasmon-induced drag effect (SPIDEr), which exists under conditions of the extreme nanoplasmonic confinement. Under realistic conditions, in nanowires, this giant SPIDEr generates rectified THz potential differences up to 10 V and extremely strong electric fields up to 10^5-10^6 V/cm. The SPIDEr is an

Recent enrichment of megafauna in the north of Eurasia supports the concept of Pleistocene rewilding
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.‘Pleistocene rewilding' refers to the concept of restoring ecosystems to their state during the Pleistocene epoch, by (re‐)introducing species or their close relatives that were present during that time, in an effort to revive ecological processes that existed before human‐driven extinctions.
