Sex and neo-sex chromosome evolution in beetles. by Ryan Bracewell, Anita Tran, Kamalakar Chatla, Doris Bachtrog

“…Most species have XY sex chromosomes, but X0 sex determination mechanisms are also common in some groups. We generated a whole-chromosome assembly of Tribolium confusum, which has a neo-sex chromosome, and utilize eleven additional beetle genomes to reconstruct karyotype evolution across Coleoptera. …”

Fusion of auto encoders and multi-modal data based video recommendation method by Qiuyang GU, Chunhua JU, Gongxing WU

“…Nowadays, the commonly used linear structure video recommendation methods have the problems of non-personalized recommendation results and low accuracy, so it is extremely urgent to develop high-precision personalized video recommendation method.A video recommendation method based on the fusion of autoencoders and multi-modal data was presented.This method fused two data including text and vision for video recommendation.To be specific, the method proposed firstly used bag of words and TF-IDF methods to describe text data, and then fused the obtained features with deep convolutional descriptors extracted from visual data, so that each video document could get a multi-modal descriptors, and constructed low-dimensional sparse representation by autoencoders.Experiments were performed on the proposed model by using three real data sets.The result shows that compared with the single-modal recommendation method, the recommendation results of the proposed method are significantly improved, and the performance is better than the reference method.…”

Power decoupling method for synchronous reference frame-based vector control by Zhen Gong, Xiaorong Xie, Chengxi Liu, Filipe Faria da Silva, Yonghao Gui

“…This short communication analyzes the power coupling mechanism of synchronous reference frame-based vector control (SRF-VC) of voltage source inverter (VSI), which is caused by the variation of voltage angle difference (VVAD) between voltage at point of common coupling (PCC) and grid voltage. Then, a power closed loop transfer function model is proposed to study the power coupling characteristics. …”
