Colloid centrifugation could be a suitable technique to select those donkey sperm more resistant to DNA fragmentation after thawing. Previous studies have shown that to elucidate the latent damage of the DNA molecule, sDF should be assessed dynamically, where the rate of fragmentation between treatments indicates how resistant the DNA is to iatrogenic damage. The rate of fragmentation is calculated using the slope of a linear regression equation. However, it has not been studied if s DF dynamics fit this model. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of different after-thawing centrifugation protocols on sperm DNA fragmentation and elucidate the most accurate mathematical model（linear regression, exponential or polynomial） for DNA fragmentation over time in frozen-thawed donkey semen.Results： After submitting post-thaw semen samples to no centrifugation（UDC）, sperm washing（SW） or single layer centrifugation（SLC） protocols, sD F values after 6 h of incubation were significantly lower in SLC samples than in SW or UDC.Coefficient of determination（R-2） values were significantly higher for a second order polynomial model than for linear or exponential. The highest values for acceleration of fragmentation（aSDF） were obtained for SW, fol owed by SLC and UDC.Conclusion： SLC after thawing seems to preserve longer DNA longevity in comparison to UDC and SW. Moreover,the fine-tuning of models has shown that sDF dynamics in frozen-thawed donkey semen fit a second order polynomial model, which implies that fragmentation rate is not constant and fragmentation acceleration must be taken into account to elucidate hidden damage in the DNA molecule.展开更多

To alle...Deep convolutional neural networks with high performance are hard to be deployed in many real world applications, since the computing resources of edge devices such as smart phones or embedded GPU are limited. To alleviate this hardware limitation, the compression of deep neural networks from the model side becomes important. As one of the most popular methods in the spotlight, channel pruning of the deep convolutional model can effectively remove redundant convolutional channels from the CNN (convolutional neural network) without affecting the network’s performance remarkably. Existing methods focus on pruning design, evaluating the importance of different convolutional filters in the CNN model. A fast and effective fine-tuning method to restore accuracy is urgently needed. In this paper, we propose a fine-tuning method KDFT (Knowledge Distillation Based Fine-Tuning), which improves the accuracy of fine-tuned models with almost negligible training overhead by introducing knowledge distillation. Extensive experimental results on benchmark datasets with representative CNN models show that up to 4.86% accuracy improvement and 79% time saving can be obtained.展开更多

文摘Background： Sperm DNA fragmentation（sDF） has been proved to be an important parameter in order to predict in vitro the potential fertility of a semen sample. Colloid centrifugation could be a suitable technique to select those donkey sperm more resistant to DNA fragmentation after thawing. Previous studies have shown that to elucidate the latent damage of the DNA molecule, sDF should be assessed dynamically, where the rate of fragmentation between treatments indicates how resistant the DNA is to iatrogenic damage. The rate of fragmentation is calculated using the slope of a linear regression equation. However, it has not been studied if s DF dynamics fit this model. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of different after-thawing centrifugation protocols on sperm DNA fragmentation and elucidate the most accurate mathematical model（linear regression, exponential or polynomial） for DNA fragmentation over time in frozen-thawed donkey semen.Results： After submitting post-thaw semen samples to no centrifugation（UDC）, sperm washing（SW） or single layer centrifugation（SLC） protocols, sD F values after 6 h of incubation were significantly lower in SLC samples than in SW or UDC.Coefficient of determination（R-2） values were significantly higher for a second order polynomial model than for linear or exponential. The highest values for acceleration of fragmentation（aSDF） were obtained for SW, fol owed by SLC and UDC.Conclusion： SLC after thawing seems to preserve longer DNA longevity in comparison to UDC and SW. Moreover,the fine-tuning of models has shown that sDF dynamics in frozen-thawed donkey semen fit a second order polynomial model, which implies that fragmentation rate is not constant and fragmentation acceleration must be taken into account to elucidate hidden damage in the DNA molecule.
文摘In recent years,early detection and warning of fires have posed a significant challenge to environmental protection and human safety.Deep learning models such as Faster R-CNN(Faster Region based Convolutional Neural Network),YOLO(You Only Look Once),and their variants have demonstrated superiority in quickly detecting objects from images and videos,creating new opportunities to enhance automatic and efficient fire detection.The YOLO model,especially newer versions like YOLOv10,stands out for its fast processing capability,making it suitable for low-latency applications.However,when applied to real-world datasets,the accuracy of fire prediction is still not high.This study improves the accuracy of YOLOv10 for real-time applications through model fine-tuning techniques and data augmentation.The core work of the research involves creating a diverse fire image dataset specifically suited for fire detection applications in buildings and factories,freezing the initial layers of the model to retain general features learned from the dataset by applying the Squeeze and Excitation attention mechanism and employing the Stochastic Gradient Descent(SGD)with a momentum optimization algorithm to enhance accuracy while ensuring real-time fire detection.Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed fire prediction approach,where the YOLOv10 small model exhibits the best balance compared to other YOLO family models such as nano,medium,and balanced.Additionally,the study provides an experimental evaluation to highlight the effectiveness of model fine-tuning compared to the YOLOv10 baseline,YOLOv8 and Faster R-CNN based on two criteria:accuracy and prediction time.

文摘Sentence classification is the process of categorizing a sentence based on the context of the sentence.Sentence categorization requires more semantic highlights than other tasks,such as dependence parsing,which requires more syntactic elements.Most existing strategies focus on the general semantics of a conversation without involving the context of the sentence,recognizing the progress and comparing impacts.An ensemble pre-trained language model was taken up here to classify the conversation sentences from the conversation corpus.The conversational sentences are classified into four categories:information,question,directive,and commission.These classification label sequences are for analyzing the conversation progress and predicting the pecking order of the conversation.Ensemble of Bidirectional Encoder for Representation of Transformer(BERT),Robustly Optimized BERT pretraining Approach(RoBERTa),Generative Pre-Trained Transformer(GPT),DistilBERT and Generalized Autoregressive Pretraining for Language Understanding(XLNet)models are trained on conversation corpus with hyperparameters.Hyperparameter tuning approach is carried out for better performance on sentence classification.This Ensemble of Pre-trained Language Models with a Hyperparameter Tuning(EPLM-HT)system is trained on an annotated conversation dataset.The proposed approach outperformed compared to the base BERT,GPT,DistilBERT and XLNet transformer models.The proposed ensemble model with the fine-tuned parameters achieved an F1_score of 0.88.

文摘Enriching the library of chiral plasmonic structures is of significant importance in advancing their applicability across diverse domains such as biosensing,nanophotonics,and catalysis.Here,employing triangle nanoplates as growth seeds,we synthesized a novel class of chiral-shaped plasmonic nanostructures through a wet chemical strategy with dipeptide as chiral inducers,including chiral tri-blade boomerangs,concave rhombic dodecahedrons,and nanoflowers.The structural diversity in chiral plasmonic nanostructures was elucidated through their continuous morphological evolution from two-dimensional to threedimensional architectures.The fine-tuning of chiroptical properties was achieved by precisely manipulating crucial synthetic parameters such as the amount of chiral molecules,seeds,and gold precursor that significantly influenced chiral structure formation.The findings provide a promising avenue for enriching chiral materials with highly sophisticated structures,facilitating a fundamental understanding of the relationship between structural nuances and chiroptical properties.

文摘Deep convolutional neural networks with high performance are hard to be deployed in many real world applications, since the computing resources of edge devices such as smart phones or embedded GPU are limited. To alleviate this hardware limitation, the compression of deep neural networks from the model side becomes important. As one of the most popular methods in the spotlight, channel pruning of the deep convolutional model can effectively remove redundant convolutional channels from the CNN (convolutional neural network) without affecting the network’s performance remarkably. Existing methods focus on pruning design, evaluating the importance of different convolutional filters in the CNN model. A fast and effective fine-tuning method to restore accuracy is urgently needed. In this paper, we propose a fine-tuning method KDFT (Knowledge Distillation Based Fine-Tuning), which improves the accuracy of fine-tuned models with almost negligible training overhead by introducing knowledge distillation. Extensive experimental results on benchmark datasets with representative CNN models show that up to 4.86% accuracy improvement and 79% time saving can be obtained.

文摘Using gas and rock samples from major petroliferous basins in the world,the helium content,composition,isotopic compositions and the U and Th contents in rocks are analyzed to clarify the helium enrichment mechanism and distribution pattern and the exploration ideas for helium-rich gas reservoirs.It is believed that the formation of helium-rich gas reservoirs depends on the amount of helium supplied to the reservoir and the degree of helium dilution by natural gas,and that the reservoir-forming process can be summarized as"multi-source helium supply,main-source helium enrichment,helium-nitrogen coupling,and homogeneous symbiosis".Helium mainly comes from the radioactive decay of U and Th in rocks.All rocks contain trace amounts of U and Th,so they are effective helium sources.Especially,large-scale ancient basement dominated by granite or metamorphic rocks is the main helium source.The helium generated by the decay of U and Th in the ancient basement in a long geologic history,together with the nitrogen generated by the cracking of the inorganic nitrogenous compounds in the basement rocks,is dissolved in the water and preserved.With the tectonic uplift,the ground water is transported upward along the fracture to the gas reservoirs,with helium and nitrogen released.Thus,the reservoirs are enriched with both helium and nitrogen,which present a clear concomitant and coupling relationship.In tensional basins in eastern China,where tectonic activities are strong,a certain proportion of mantle-derived helium is mixed in the natural gas.The helium-rich gas reservoirs are mostly located in normal or low-pressure zones above ancient basement with fracture communication,which later experience substantial tectonic uplift and present relatively weak seal,low intensity of natural gas charging,and active groundwater.Helium exploration should focus on gas reservoirs with fractures connecting ancient basement,large tectonic uplift,relatively weak sealing capacity,insufficient natural gas charging intensity,and rich ancient formation water,depending on the characteristics of helium enrichment,beyond the traditional idea of searching for natural gas sweetspots and high-yield giant gas fields simultaneously.
