The Giardia ventrolateral flange is a lamellar membrane protrusion that supports attachment. by William R Hardin, Germain C M Alas, Nikita Taparia, Elizabeth B Thomas, Melissa C Steele-Ogus, Kelli L Hvorecny, Aaron R Halpern, Pavla Tůmová, Justin M Kollman, Joshua C Vaughan, Nathan J Sniadecki, Alexander R Paredez

“…Flangin complexes with Giardia actin (GlActin) and is enriched in the ventrolateral flange making it a valuable marker for studying the flanges' role in Giardia biology. Live imaging revealed that the flange grows to around 1 μm in width after cytokinesis, then remains uniform in size during interphase, grows in mitosis, and is resorbed during cytokinesis. …”

Attentive Self-supervised Contrastive Learning (ASCL) for plant disease classification by Getinet Yilma, Mesfin Dagne, Mohammed Kemal Ahmed, Ravindra Babu Bellam

“…The ASCL framework enhances interpretability by incorporating attention mechanisms, such as squeeze-excitation and convolutional block attention module, which highlight key regions in plant images, aiding in transparent decision-making. In the present work, a pre-trained squeeze-excitation ResNet50 Siamese backbone network on the unlabeled PlantVillage dataset was used to validate the generalizability of the learned representations. …”
