a.recent trend of the a.toma.ic spea.er verifica.ion (a.V) systems is to use spea.er representa.ions extra.ted from deep lea.ning-ba.ed spea.er encoders. Those representa.ions a.e robust a.a.nst linguistic va.ia.ion but sensitive to emotiona. fluctua.ion tha. potentia.ly degra.es the performa.ce of a.V systems. To ta.kle this issue, we a.plied a.correla.ion-ba.ed objective function ca.led Ba.low Twins objective to spea.er representa.ion lea.ning for the a.V ta.k with expressive speech. This helps the lea.ned representa.ions from the sa.e spea.er become simila. despite their emotiona. sta.e. Our experiment showed tha. our representa.ion lea.ning using Ba.low Twins objective improves the sta.da.d devia.ion of the EERs between different emotions from 2.43 to 1.52 a.d the tota. EER from 10.77% to 6.47% on the CREMa.D da.a.et. The study a.so eva.ua.es the system’s genera.iza.ion performa.ce a.ross out-of-doma.n da.a.ets, demonstra.ing improved sta.da.d devia.ion of the EERs a.d tota.

However, numerous ca.es of resista.ce ha.e emerged, often linked to muta.ions in the nicotinic a.etylcholine receptor (na.hR) a.pha.6 subunit, the ma.n molecula. ta.get of spinosyns. In this study, toxicologica. da.a.for spinosa.a.d spinetora. were obta.ned from a.susceptible stra.n of Fra.kliniella.occidenta.is, a. well a. two field-collected resista.t stra.ns ca.rying the G275E resista.ce muta.ion.

Further, CRISPR/Ca.9-media.ed knockout (KO) of a.pha.6 wa. performed in the susceptible stra.n to shed light on the phenotypic strength of this resista.ce mecha.ism previously observed in the field. The KO conferred complete insensitivity to spinosa.a.d significa.t resista.ce to spinetora., a.though higher doses of spinetora. rema.ned letha., suggesting potentia. intera.tion with a.seconda.y ta.get.

Objective: Educa.ion a.d self-ma.a.ement pla.s enha.ce pa.ents' self-effica.y in ma.a.ing their child's a.thma.symptoms. By understa.ding how pa.ents recognize a.d interpret a.ute a.thma.symptoms, we ca. compile pa.ient informa.ion using terms tha.a.e fa.ilia. to pa.ents. Method: Semi-structured interviews were ca.ried out with 27 pa.ents of children with a.thma.a.ed 2-12 yea.s. The interviewees were selected from three groups: pa.ents of children a.mitted for a.ute a.thma. pa.ents of children receiving outpa.ient a.thma.ca.e, a.d pa.ents who ha.a.cess to a.self-ma.a.ement pla.. Pa.ents were invited to report symptoms they would a.socia.e with a.ute a.thma. Subsequently, pa.ents were queried a.out their recognition of symptoms from a.predefined list a.d a.ked to expla.n how they would a.sess these symptoms in ca.e their child would experience a.a.ta.k of a.ute a.thma. Results: The most frequently reported symptoms for a.ute a.thma.were shortness of brea.h (77.8%) a.d coughing (63%). Other signs such a. retra.tions, na.a. fla.ing, a.d wheezing were reported by less tha. 25% of the pa.ents. a.l pa.ents recognized shortness of brea.h, wheezing a.d ga.ping for brea.h from a.predefined list of medica. terms. Retra.tions a.d na.a. fla.ing were recognized by 81.5% a.d 66.7% of the pa.ents, respectively. Recognizing the medica. terms did not necessa.ily tra.sla.e into pa.ents being a.le to expla.n how to a.sess these symptoms. Conclusion: Pa.ents a.d hea.thca.e professiona.s do not a.wa.s spea. the sa.e la.gua.e concerning symptoms of a.ute a.thma.

Mea.uring the dyna.ics a.d mecha.ica. properties of muscles a.d joints is importa.t to understa.d the (pa.ho)physiology of muscles. However, a.quiring dyna.ic time-resolved MRI da.a.is cha.lenging. We ha.e previously developed Spectro-Dyna.ic MRI which a.lows the cha.a.teriza.ion of dyna.ica. systems a.a.high spa.ia.a.d tempora. resolution directly from k-spa.e da.a. This work presents a. extended Spectro-Dyna.ic MRI fra.ework tha. reconstructs 1) time-resolved MR ima.es, 2) time-resolved motion fields, 3) dyna.ica. pa.a.eters, a.d 4) a.a.tiva.ion force, a.a.tempora. resolution of 11 ms. a. itera.ive a.gorithm solves a.minimiza.ion problem conta.ning four terms: a.motion model rela.ing the motion to the fully-sa.pled k-spa.e da.a.a.dyna.ica. model describing the expected type of dyna.ics, a.da.a.consistency term describing the undersa.pling pa.tern, a.d fina.ly a.regula.iza.ion term for the a.tiva.ion force. We a.quired MRI da.a.using a.dyna.ic motion pha.tom progra.med to move like a.a.tively driven linea. ela.tic system, from which a.l dyna.ic va.ia.les could be a.cura.ely reconstructed, rega.dless of the sa.pling pa.tern. The proposed method performed better tha.a.two-step a.proa.h, where time-resolved ima.es were first reconstructed from the undersa.pled da.a.without a.y informa.ion a.out the motion, followed by a.motion estima.ion step.

Pa.hs P-1, ..., P-k a.e mutua.ly induced if a.y two distinct P-i a.d P-j ha.e neither common vertices nor a.ja.ent vertices (except perha.s their end-vertices). The INDUCED DISJOINT Pa.HS problem is to decide if a.gra.h G with k pa.rs of specified vertices (s(i), t(i)) conta.ns k mutua.ly induced pa.hs P-i such tha. ea.h P-i connects s(i) a.d t(i). This problem is NP-complete even for k = 2. We prove tha. it ca. be solved in polynomia. time for a.-free gra.hs even when k is pa.t of the input. Consequently, the problem of deciding if a.a.-free gra.h conta.ns a.fixed gra.h H a.a. induced topologica. minor a.mits a.polynomia.-time a.gorithm. We show tha. such a.a.gorithm is essentia.ly optima. by proving tha. the problem is W[1]-ha.d with pa.a.eter vertica. ba.

Using the preda.ory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis - herbivorous mite Tetra.ychus urtica. system in a. experimenta. evolution setup, we studied the a.a.ta.ion mecha.isms to toma.o a.d cucumber, pla.ts tha. possess a.distinct repertoire of defensive tra.ts. RESULTS;Experimenta. evolution experiments on whole pla.ts revea.ed tha.a.lowing P. persimilis to a.a.t to toma.oes led to a. simila. to 100% la.ger popula.ion size. Independent feeding a.sa.s showed tha. toma.o- a.d cucumber-a.a.ted prey reduced preda.or fecundity. The deleterious effect of ingesting low-qua.ity prey persisted a.ter a.a.ta.ion of the preda.or to both cucumber a.d toma.o. We demonstra.ed tha. ja.monic a.id (Ja.-dependent defences reduce prey qua.ity by eva.ua.ing preda.or performa.ce on prey fed on Ja.defence-deficient toma.o pla.ts. Tra.scriptomic profiling of the replica.ed P. persimilis lines showed tha. long-term propa.a.ion on toma.o a.d cucumber pla.ts produces distinctive gene-expression levels.
