Multiple Roles of the Y Chromosome in the Biology of Drosophila melanogaster by Roberto Piergentili

“…Nonetheless, a more accurate analysis reveals that this chromosome can influence several complex phenotypes: (1) it has a role in the fertility of both sexes and viability of males when over-represented; (2) it can unbalance the intracellular nucleotide pool; (3) it can interfere with the gene expression either by recruiting proteins involved in chromatin remodeling (PEV) or, to a higher extent, by influencing the expression of up to 1,000 different genes, probably by changing the availability of transcription factors; (4) it plays a major role (up to 50%) in the resistance to heat-induced male sterility; (5) it affects the behavior; and (6) it plays a role in genetic imprinting. In the present paper, all these Y-related phenotypes are described and a potential similarity with the human Y chromosome is drawn.…”

Wind turbine blade damage detection based on acoustic signals by Chenchen Yang, Shaohu Ding, Guangsheng Zhou

“…Considering the computational challenges of spectral subtraction under extreme noise intensities, a pretrained sound source separation neural network was used to distinguish between random wind noise and mechanical noise in wind turbine sound signals. In this paper, the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) time-frequency diagrams of signals processed using the spectral subtraction method are compared with those processed by combining the source separation model and spectral subtraction. …”
