An improved U-net and attention mechanism-based model for sugar beet and weed segmentation by Yadong Li, Ruinan Guo, Rujia Li, Rongbiao Ji, Mengyao Wu, Dinghao Chen, Cong Han, Ruilin Han, Yongxiu Liu, Yuwen Ruan, Jianping Yang, Jianping Yang

“…To address this issue, this paper proposes an efficient crop-weed segmentation model based on an improved UNet architecture and attention mechanisms to enhance both recognition accuracy and processing speed.MethodsThe model adopts the encoder-decoder structure of UNet, utilizing MaxViT (Multi-Axis Vision Transformer) as the encoder to capture both global and local features within images. Additionally, CBAM (Convolutional Block Attention Module) is incorporated into the decoder as a multi-scale feature fusion module, adaptively adjusting feature map weights to enable the model to focus more accurately on the edges and textures of crops and weeds.Results and discussionExperimental results show that the proposed model achieved 84.28% mIoU and 88.59% mPA on the sugar beet dataset, representing improvements of 3.08% and 3.15% over the baseline UNet model, respectively, and outperforming mainstream models such as FCN, PSPNet, SegFormer, DeepLabv3+, and HRNet. …”

The Transcription Factor SOX18 Inhibitor Small Molecule 4 Is a Potential Treatment of Cancer‐Induced Lymphatic Metastasis and Lymphangiosarcoma by Katja K. Koll, Martin M. Zimmermann, Patrick A. Will, Ulrich Kneser, Christoph Hirche

“…Sm4 treatment decreased the Sox18 expression level at the mRNA and protein levels in both HDLEC and MO‐LAS significantly, a phenomenon confirmed through immunofluorescence images. Additionally, Sm4 treatment suppressed the expression of key lymphatic phenotype markers (Prox1, Flt4, and Lyve1) and hindered migration in both HDLEC and MO‐LAS, all while maintaining cell viability. …”

Advancing Alzheimer’s Diagnosis: The Role of AI - A Review by Dominka Rehan, Sven Solisch, Anna Blazhkova, Anna Susłow, Adam Szwed, Ewa Szczęsna

“…However, theories of neurodegeneration related to the deposition of pathological proteins in the brain and the imbalance between individual neurotransmitters have allowed the development of effective diagnostic methods - laboratory determination of specific biomarkers (tau protein, β-amyloid) and their marking using PET (Amyloid PET, Tau PET). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is also important in diagnostics. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a promising, new, and rapidly developing path that can significantly affect the diagnostic process of Alzheimer's disease. …”
