Gene expansion in the hawkmoth Manduca sexta drives evolution of food-associated odorant receptors by Megha Treesa Tom, Philipp Brand, Sascha Bucks, Jin Zhang, Mario Ernesto Escobar Huezo, Bill S. Hansson, Sonja Bisch-Knaden

“…Summary: In insects, odorant receptors (ORs) are required for the detection of most olfactory cues. We investigated the function of a clade of four duplicated ORs in the hawkmoth Manduca sexta and found that these paralogs encode broadly tuned receptors with overlapping but distinct response spectra. …”

Genotyping from targeted NGS data based on a small set of SNPs correctly matches patient samples by Deyan Yordanov Yosifov, Christof Schneider, Stephan Stilgenbauer, Daniel Mertens, Eugen Tausch

“…In two cohorts of totally 1441 patients with sequential samples, we could identify 3 sample swaps, 7 mislabelled samples (3 externally and 4 internally) and 1 mistake of unknown origin. We provide an R function for automated detection of sample swaps and mislabelling to the community as a free and open-source tool.…”

Texture-preserving and information loss minimization method for infrared and visible image fusion by Qiyuan He, Yongdong Huang

“…TPFusion consists of the following key components: a multi-scale feature extraction module for enhancing the capability of capturing features; a texture enhancement module and contrast enhancement module, which helps to preserve fine-grained textures and extract salient contours and contrast information; a dual-attention fusion module for fusing the features extracted from the source images; an information content based loss function minimizing the feature discrepancy between the fused images and the source images and effectively reducing the information loss. …”

Granular analysis of pathways to care and durations of untreated psychosis: A marginal delay model. by Walter S Mathis, Maria Ferrara, Shadie Burke, Emily Hyun, Fangyong Li, Bin Zhou, John Cahill, Emily R Kline, Matcheri S Keshavan, Vinod H Srihari

“…Marginal-delay, or the portion of overall delay attributable to a specific node, was computed as the number of days between the start dates of contiguous nodes on the PTC. Sources of delay within the network of care were quantified and patient characteristic (sex, age, race, income, insurance, living, education, employment, and function) influences on such delays were analyzed via bivariate and mixed model testing.…”
