Localization and detection of deepfake videos based on self-blending method by Junfeng Xu, Xintao Liu, Weiguo Lin, Wenqing Shang, Yuefeng Wang

“…Moreover, research on the precise localization of manipulated regions within deepfake videos is limited, primarily due to the absence of datasets with fine-grained annotations that specify which regions have been manipulated.To address these challenges, this paper proposes a novel spatial-based training method that does not require fake samples to detect spatial manipulations in deepfake videos. …”

The use of maize haploidy inducers as a tool in agricultural plant biotechnology by A. V. Ulyanov, A. V. Karlov, E. B. Khatefov

“…Haploid inducers carrying R1-nj genes for anthocyanin pigmentation of the seed and embryo are able not only to mark the hybrid embryo and identify haploid genotypes, but also to detect genes that suppress the anthocyanin color of the grain, like C1-I, C2-Idf, and In1-D. Depending on their quantity, the phenotypic manifestation of the gene in the seed varies. …”

Two new species of Plagiostomum (Prolecithophora, Plagiostomidae) from China with its morphology, phylogeny, and reproductive strategy by Leyuan Feng, Shiyan Zhang, Ming Tao, Ting Sun, Antai Wang

“…Additionally, Plagiostomum plagae sp. nov. can be distinguished from P. nanhaiensis sp. nov. and other congeneric species by its two connected dorsal stripes, multiple spherical testes arranged along the ventral midline, a hemispherical vesicula seminalis located on the right ventral side, and grain-shaped sperm. Kimura’s two-parameter distance and phylogenetic analyses further support the recognition of these two new species, showing that the three specimens of P. nanhaiensis sp. nov. and P. plagae sp. nov. form two separate clades within Plagiostomum with solid support. …”

SSNMR confirms silicate ion substitution in the apatitic structure of 0.8wt% Si hydroxyapatite by Marc-Krystelle Mafina, Rory M. Wilson, Gregory J. Rees, Peter Gierth, Alice C. Sullivan, Karin A. Hing

“…It has been hypothesized that silicon is present in the form of silicate groups site-specifically substituted in the hydroxyapatite lattice for phosphate groups, or that there may be an amorphous silicon-rich phase in the vicinity of the grain boundaries. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) spectroscopy was carried out to view the elemental interactions using phosphorus (31P) and silicon (29Si) probes to confirm or refute the presence of silicate groups in relation to phosphate groups in the bulk material structure. …”
