To address the problems of low resolution, compression artifacts, complex noise, and color loss in image restoration, we propose a High-Quality Prior-Guided Blind Face Restoration Generative Adversarial Network (HPG-GAN). This mainly consists Coarse Sub-Network (CR-Net) Fine (FR-Net). HPG-GAN extracts high-quality structural textural priors facial feature from coarse restoration images to recon...

OBJECTIVE Ventricular hypertrophy predisposes for cardiac arrhythmias, presumably due to prolongation of repolarization (electrical remodeling). The temporal relation between the development of hypertrophy and electrical remodeling, as well as their reversibility upon restoration of normal load, however, are poorly understood. This was investigated in the present study using volume overload hyp...

 Image restoration is an essential preprocessing step for many image analysis applications. In any image restoration techniques, keeping structure of the image unchanged is very important. Such structure in an image often corresponds to the region discontinuities and edges. The techniques based on partial differential equations, such as the heat equations, are receiving considerable attention i...

Restoration seedbanks have become a key infrastructure resource in efforts to restore damaged and degraded environments across the globe. Large-scale ecological restoration typically utilizes large volumes of valuable, usually wild-collected seeds, but insufficient knowledge seed biology (including storage requirements some cases) ecology for many species continues hamper utility meet this risi...

The recreational and restorative functions of urban forests are gaining increasing attention as people focus more on having a higher quality life. While the rationale behind spatial layout forest parks is important, real psychological perceptions users cannot be ignored. This study has developed structural equation model to examine relationship between environmental restoration accessibility. S...

o bjectives: caries and dental trauma are common reasons for primary anterior teeth restorations in children. this non-control clinical trial was designed to eva- luate crown restorations reinforced with a sectioned file post for the restoration of severely damaged primary maxillary incisors. materials and methods: thirty-eight primary maxillary incisors of 12 children (3-5 years old) with earl...

introduction: the purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the sealing ability of the readymade temporary filling and hand mixed materials by assessing coronal microleakage. materials & methods: standardized access cavities were prepared in 80 intact human permanent premolar teeth. they were divided randomly into four experimental groups (n=20). the teeth were restored using one of the te...

In macroecology, the concept of r- and K-strategy has been widely applied, yet, there have limited studies on microbial life-history strategies in temperate grasslands using multiple sequencing approaches. Total phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis, high-throughput meta-genomic sequencing, GeoChip technologies were used to examine changes traits a chronosequence restored (1, 5, 10, 15, 25, 3...
