Proposal-free instance segmentation methods mainly generate instance-agnostic semantic labels and instance-aware features to group pixels into different object instances. However, previous mostly employ separate modules for these two sub-tasks require multiple passes inference. In addition the lack of efficiency, also failed perform as well proposal-based approaches. To this end, work proposes ...

Evidence accumulated over the last decade has shown that allopolyploid genomes may undergo drastic reorganization. However, timing and mechanisms of structural diploidization over evolutionary timescales are still poorly known. As transposable elements (TEs) represent major and labile components of plant genomes, they likely play a pivotal role in fuelling genome changes leading to long-term di...

Before the 2005 launch of the New Zealand SunSmart Schools Accreditation Programme (SSAP), 242 randomly sampled primary schools completed a mail survey about sun protection policies, practices, curriculum and environment. A 2009 follow-up included 189 (78%) and their mean Total Accreditation Score (TAS = total SSAP requirements met, range 0-12), increased by 0.8 (95% CI 0.5-1.2, P < 0.001) from...

Long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons constitute the majority of the content of angiosperm genomes, but their evolutionary dynamics remain poorly understood. Here, we report the isolation and characterization of a putative full-length (~9550 bp) Ty1/copia-like retrotransposon in Excoecaria agallocha and its evolution in Euphorbiaceae. The so-called EARE-1 is phylogenetically closely relat...

This study reports the discovery of abyssal giant depressions located at toe Bahamian carbonate platform, along Blake Bahama structurally-controlled Escarpment (BBE) that exhibits up to 4 km submarine elevation above San Salvador Abyssal Plain (SSAP). Analysis seismic reflection and bathymetric data collected during CARAMBAR 2 cruise revealed presence 29 depressions; their water depths range fr...

In many countries, particularly in Iraq, the students&amp;rsquo; academic performance (SsAP) system is based on final grade scores high school. This school may not reflect intelligence level or interests that link student to a relevant university. Also, skills are used predict score-related college. this research, seven-subject, one-grade, one-output (SOO) model was proposed simulate classic Ss...
