PCVR: a pre-trained contextualized visual representation for DNA sequence classification by Jiarui Zhou, Hui Wu, Kang Du, Wengang Zhou, Cong-Zhao Zhou, Houqiang Li

“…Machine learning methods learn implicit patterns from data with encoding techniques such as k-mer counting and ordinal encoding, which fail to handle long sequences or sacrifice structural and sequential information. Frequency chaos game representation (FCGR) converts DNA sequences of arbitrary lengths into fixed-size images, breaking free from the constraints of sequence length while preserving more sequential information than other representations. …”

Shape-controlled aerosol-assisted chemical vapour deposition of iron sulfide thin films using heterocyclic iron(II) dithiocarbamates as single-source molecular precursors by Sixberth Mlowe

“…The deposition of iron sulfide films were carried at temperatures of 350 °C and 450 °C using chloroform solution of precursors, and the resulting films were characterized for structural, optical, and morphological properties. Films deposited using precursor (1) at 350 °C displayed uniform spherical particles ranging from 240 nm to 370 nm and a direct band gap of 2.29 eV while those at 450 °C revealed anisotropic growth (650 – 1050 nm) and a reduced band gap of 2.19 eV, attributed to quantum confinement effects. …”
