Cyrano de Bergerac and his voyages to the Moon, the Sun… and the brain by Rita Benkő

“…His writings open a window into the early modern understanding of biology as well as to some new concepts of his, including probably the first investigation on twins resulting in a description of empathy as a motor function. An analysis of recent data about mental decline in the elderly in relation to his father’s words allows the consideration of their relationship. …”

Optimal tuning of bacterial sensing potential by Anand Pai, Lingchong You

“…Abstract Through production and sensing of small signal molecules, quorum sensing (QS) enables bacteria to detect changes in their density and regulate their functions accordingly. QS systems are tremendously diverse in terms of their specific sensory components, the biochemical and transport properties of signaling molecules, their target functions and the context in which QS‐mediated functions are activated. …”

Transportation scene recognition based on high level feature representation by Wenhua LIU, Yidong LI, Tao WANG, Jun WU, Yi JIN

“…With the development of intelligent transportation,it has become an urgent problem to quickly and accurately recognize complex traffic scene.In recent years,a large number of scene recognition methods have been proposed to improve the effectiveness of traffic scene recognition,however,most of these algorithms cannot extract the semantic characteristics of the concept of vision,leading to the low recognition accuracy in traffic scenes.Therefore,a novel traffic scene recognition algorithm which extracts the high-level semantic and structural information for improving the accuracy was proposed.A system to discover semantically meaningful descriptions of the scene classes to reduce the “semantic gap” between the high level and the low-level feature representation was built.Then,the multi-label network was trained by minimizing loss function (namely,element-wise logistic loss) to obtain the high-level semantic representation of traffic scene images.Finally,experiments on four large-scale scene recognition datasets show that the proposed algorithm considerably outperforms other state-of-the-art methods.…”
