Zero-Shot Classification of Art With Large Language Models by Tatsuya Tojima, Mitsuo Yoshida

“…The proposed method can perform annotation without new training data. Thus, it minimizes human costs. Our experiments demonstrated that the 4-bit quantized Llama-3 70B model, which can run on a local server, achieved the most accurate (over 0.9) automatic annotation of different art forms using LLMs, performing slightly better than the GPT-4o model from OpenAI. …”

Vibration Suppression of Bolter Miner Employing Dynamic Vibration Absorber by Ang Li, Bukang Wang, Teng Wang, Zhifu Guo, Zhaokun Yan

“…It was found that the cutting caused the first-order modal vibration, and the DVA was placed in the cavity of the cutting arm to control the modal vibration of this order. To minimize the vibration, a coupled dynamics model between the DVA and bolter miner was developed, and the DVA parameters were optimized. …”

Exercising Tactically for Taming Postmeal Glucose Surges by Elsamma Chacko

“…The results show that a light aerobic exercise for 60 min or moderate activity for 20–30 min starting 30 min after meal can efficiently blunt the glucose surge, with minimal risk of hypoglycemia. Exercising at other times could lead to glucose elevation caused by counterregulation. …”

Sex Determination in Reptiles: A Review by Alessandro Vetere, Michele Capasso, Francesco Di Ianni

“…Captive breeding programs play a crucial role in conservation; however, effective management requires accurate sex determination, especially due to the fact that many reptile species exhibit minimal or no sexual dimorphism. When present, sexual dimorphism manifests as differences such as size, coloration, and morphological features influenced by evolutionary pressures and hormones. …”
