Learning multi-scale feature representations is essential for medical image segmentation.Most existing frameworks are based on U-shape architecture in which the high-resolution representation is recovered progressively by connecting different levels of the decoder with the low-resolution representation from the encoder.However, intrinsic defects in
A two-year field experiment was conducted to determine whether a conservation biological control strategy could be applied to enhance the biological control of green apple aphids, Aphis spp., in a high-density and scab-resistant apple orchard at the non-bearing stage.The natural Oval Platter occurrence of aphid predators and their impact on aphid p
Background & aim: Skin-to-skin contact immediately after birth plays a pivotal role in proper breastfeeding and mother-infant interaction.Despite numerous benefits of mother-infant skin-to-skin contact, this health behavior is not performed by many midwives.This study aimed to evaluate the influential factors for mother-infant skin-to-skin contact
This paper initiates the pommel sack analysis of the relation between evacuation time and group size by applying an extended floor-field cellular automaton model.Multi-speed-agents, a group structure containing leaders and followers, and a local-density-dependent dynamic field are implemented all together in the model.Most importantly, a complete b
