Daily Objective Physical Activity and Sedentary Time in Adults with COPD Using Spirometry Data from Canadian Measures Health Survey by P. Bernard, G. Hains-Monfette, S. Atoui, G. Moullec

“…Canadian adults with COPD with all disease severity levels combined did not show lower daily duration of light, moderate, and vigorous PA, and number of steps and higher daily sedentary time than those without airflow obstruction. Both groups are extremely sedentary and have low PA duration. Thus, “move more and sit less” public health strategy could equally target adults with or without COPD.…”

Spiking Neural Networks for Energy-Efficient Acoustic Emission-Based Monitoring by Federica Zonzini, Wenliang Xiang, Luca de Marchi

“…More specifically, both the continuous and the discrete WT alternatives have been explored to find the best compromise between time-frequency resolution and computational complexity in view of extreme edge deployments. Furthermore, the event-driven capabilities of neuromorphic architectures (and spiking neural networks (SNNs) in particular) in processing spiky and sparse temporal information are exploited to retrieve ToA in a beyond state-of-the-art power-efficient manner and negligible loss of performance with respect to standard models. …”

Stamens enclosed by petals in Berchemia (Rhamnaceae): a unique mechanism for pollen presentation by Fang Ma, Fang Ma, Qian Zhao, Xing Tian, Yao-lei Fu, Wen-zhe Liu

“…Subsequently, as the anthers emerge from the petal tube, residual pollen is directly presented to pollinators (primary pollen presentation).DiscussionIn Berchemia, the petals enclosing the stamens, effectively shield the pollen from extreme environmental conditions. The petal-stamen complex slow movement (first centrifugal, later centripetal) and pollen presentation in Berchemia suggest a unique reproductive strategy. …”
