YOLOv8-LCNET: An Improved YOLOv8 Automatic Crater Detection Algorithm and Application in the Chang’e-6 Landing Area by Jing Nan, Yexin Wang, Kaichang Di, Bin Xie, Chenxu Zhao, Biao Wang, Shujuan Sun, Xiangjin Deng, Hong Zhang, Ruiqing Sheng

“…The experimental results showed that the YOLOv8-LCNET model performs well in the impact crater detection task, achieving 87.7% Precision, 84.3% Recall, and 92% AP, which were 24.7%, 32.7%, and 37.3% higher than the original YOLOv8 model. The improved YOLOv8 model was then used for automatic crater detection in the CE-6 landing area (246 km × 135 km, with a DOM resolution of 3 m/pixel), resulting in a total of 770,671 craters, ranging from 13 m to 19,882 m in diameter. …”

Analysis of a mouse germ cell tumor model establishes pluripotency-associated miRNAs as conserved serum biomarkers for germ cell cancer detection by Amanda R. Loehr, Dennis M. Timmerman, Michelle Liu, Ad J. M. Gillis, Melia Matthews, Jordana C. Bloom, Peter K. Nicholls, David C. Page, Andrew D. Miller, Leendert H. J. Looijenga, Robert S. Weiss

“…We previously developed a genetically engineered mouse model featuring malignant mixed TGCTs consisting of pluripotent embryonal carcinoma (EC) and differentiated teratoma that, like the corresponding human malignancies, originate in utero and are highly chemosensitive. Here, we report that miRNAs in the mouse miR-290-295 cluster, homologs of the human miR-371-373 cluster, were detectable in serum from mice with malignant TGCTs but not from tumor-free control mice or mice with benign teratomas. miR-291-293 were expressed and secreted specifically by pluripotent EC cells, and expression was lost following differentiation induced by the drug thioridazine. …”

Late-time Optical and X-Ray Emission Evolution of the Oxygen-rich SN 1996cr by Daniel Patnaude, Kathryn E. Weil, Robert A. Fesen, Dan Milisavljevic, Ralph P. Kraft

“…The X-ray properties are consistent with what is expected from a shock breaking out into a lower-density environment. Though originally identified as a Type IIn SN, based upon late-time optical emission-line spectra, we argue that the SN 1996cr progenitor was partially or highly stripped, suggesting a Type IIb/Ib SN.…”
