AvatarWild: Fully controllable head avatars in the wild by Shaoxu Meng, Tong Wu, Fang-Lue Zhang, Shu-Yu Chen, Yuewen Ma, Wenbo Hu, Lin Gao

“…Moreover, casually captured input, involving both head poses and camera movements, introduces additional difficulties to existing methods of head avatar reconstruction. To address the challenge posed by video data captured with camera motion, we propose a novel method, AvatarWild, for reconstructing head avatars from monocular videos taken by consumer devices. …”

High-Accuracy Determination of Potassium and Selenium in Human Serum by Two-Step Isotope Dilution ICPMS by Jian Yang, Lixia Chi, Shengmin Li

“…A high-accuracy measurement technique for determining potassium and selenium in human serum was developed by using two-step Isotope Dilution Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICPMS) in this research. A more accessible method of the quadrupole ICPMS was employed in this research to achieve an equally high accuracy which had been achieved by a much more expensive method, namely, high-resolution sector field ICPMS (SF-ICPMS), with a comparatively easy and simple operation. …”
