The relationship between segmental mobility and the organisation of thoracic stretch receptors was examined in the deep-sea isopod Bathynomus doederleini, which shows a developed adaptive behaviour during digging. The movements of segments during digging were analysed from video recordings, which showed that a large excursion occurred in the anterior thoracic segments. Dye-fills of axons reveal...

in recent years, the groundwater resources in guilan province have played an important role in irrigating paddy fields. the goal of this study was to evaluate temporal and spatial variations of groundwater quality in a 4-year period using ordinal kriging. water samples for this study were collected from 130 wells across guilan province, in september and march from 2003 to 2006.  maps of ec and ...

Recent advances in semi-supervised learning with deep generative models have shown promise in generalizing from small labeled datasets (xl,yl) to large unlabeled ones (xu). When the codomain (y) has known structure, a large unfeatured dataset (yu) is potentially available. We develop a parameter-efficient, deep semisupervised generative model for the purpose of exploiting this untapped data sou...

Due to its fast computational speed and low storage cost, hashing has been effectively applied large-scale multimedia retrieval tasks, such as medical video security retrieval. Most existing cross-view methods require good matching information, however, this exact pairing relationship is difficult fully realise in practice. The association between views incomplete, the label information. This t...

There are frequent sand digging and heaping activities in shoal in the Pearl River Estuary (PRE). Water depth has changed in patches, which can be imaged by synthetic aperture radar (SAR). According to SAR imaging mechanism of underwater bathymetry, a 3-D hydrodynamic model is used to demonstrate the temporal variations of the shoal topography changes due to sand digging and heaping. A microwav...
