Multi-modal action recognition via advanced image fusion techniques for cyber-physical systems by Zaiyong Shou, Daoyu Zhu

“…IntroductionThe increasing complexity of cyber-physical systems (CPS) demands robust and efficient action recognition frameworks capable of seamlessly integrating multi-modal data. Traditional methods often lack adaptability and perform poorly when integrating diverse information sources, such as spatial and temporal cues from diverse image sources.MethodsTo address these limitations, we propose a novel Multi-Scale Attention-Guided Fusion Network (MSAF-Net), which leverages advanced image fusion techniques to significantly enhance action recognition performance in CPS environments. …”

Nitrates and nitrites intoxications’ management by Alexandra Trif

“…The study pointed out the major sources for clinical and subclinical intoxications with nitrates/nitrites (drinking water and nitrates containing fertilizers), circumstances that determine fertilizers to became sources of intoxication (excessive fertilization/consecutive high level of nitrates in fodders, free access of animals to the fertilizers, administration into the diet instead of natrium chloride), factors that determine high nitrates accumulation in fodders despite optimal fertilization (factors related to the plants, soil, clime, harvest methods, storage, agrotechnical measures), nitrates/nitrites toxicity (over 45 ppm nitrates in drinking water, over 0.5 g nitrate/100 g D.M fodder/diet), the factors that influence nitrates/nitrites toxicity ( species, age, rate of feeding, diet balance especially energetically), pathological effects and symptoms (irritation and congestions on digestive tract, resulting diarrhoea, transformation of hemoglobin into methemoglobin determining severe respiratory insufficiency, vascular collapse, low blood pressure inthe acute nitrates intoxication; hypotiroidism, hypovitaminosis A, reproductive disturbances(abortion, low rate of fertility, dead born offspring), diarrhoea and/or respiratory insufficiency in new born e.g. calves), immunosuppression, decrease of milk production in chronic intoxication. …”
