DMOEA-DVC is compared with the other six state-of-the-art DMOEAs on 33 benchmark DMOPs. The experimental results demonstrate that the overall performance of the DMOEA-DVC is superior or comparable to that of the compared algorithms.Transrectal electrical impedance tomography (TREIT) is a novel imaging modality being developed for prostate biopsy guidance and cancer characterization. We describe a novel fused-data TREIT (fd-TREIT) system and approach developed to improve imaging robustness and evaluate it on challenging clinically-representative phantoms. The new approach incorporates 8 electrodes (in 2 rows) on a biopsy probe (BP) and 12 electrodes on the face of a transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) probe and includes a biopsy gun, instrument tracking, 3D-printed needle guide, and EIT hardware and software. The approach was evaluated via simulation, a series of prostate-shaped gel phantoms, and an ex vivo bovine tissue sample using only absolute reconstructions. The simulations surprisingly found that using only biopsy-probe electrode measurements, i.e. selleck chemicals llc omitting TRUS-probe electrode measurements, significantly improves robustness to noise thus leading to simpler modeling and significant decreases in computational times (~13x speed-up/reconstructions in ~27 minutes). The gel phantom experiments resulted in reconstructions with area under the curve (AUC) values extracted from receiver operator characteristic curves of > 0.85 for 4 out of the 5 tests, and when incorporating inclusion boundaries resulted in absolute reconstructions yielding 1.9% and 12.2% average percent errors for 3 consistent tests and all 5 tests, respectively. Ex vivo bovine tests revealed qualitatively that the fd-TREIT approach can largely discriminate a complex adipose and muscle interface in a realistic setting using data from 9 biopsy probe states (biopsy core locations). The algorithms developed here on challenging phantoms suggest strong promise for this technology to aid in imaging during routine 12-core biopsies.Background and aims Sexual dimorphism for floral traits is common in dioecious plant species. Beyond its significance for understanding how selection acts on plant traits through male versus female reproductive function, sexual dimorphism has also been proposed as a possible risky characteristic for insect pollinated plants, as it could drive pollinators to forage mostly on male plants. However, even though most flowering plant species spread their flowering across several weeks or months, the temporal variation of floral phenotypes and sexual dimorphism are rarely investigated. Methods We performed a survey of male and female plants from the dioecious generalist-pollinated Silenedioica (Caryophyllaceae) in a common garden experiment, over two consecutive flowering seasons. Flower number and floral size were measured each week, as well as pollen quantity and viability in male plants. Key results Sexual dimorphism was found for all investigated floral traits, with males showing an overall higher investment in flower production and flower size. Males and females show a similar temporal decline in flower size. The temporal dynamics of daily flower number differed between sexes, with males showing a peak in the middle of their flowering season, whereas flower production by females was rather stable over time. At the scale of the experimental population, both individual and floral sex ratios appeared to vary across the flowering season. Moreover, because the onset of flowering varied among plants, the magnitude of sexual dimorphism in floral size also strongly fluctuated through time. Conclusions Capturing male / females differences with only one temporal measurement per population may not be informative. This opens stimulating questions about how pollinator behaviour and resulting pollination efficiency may vary across the flowering season.Low-dose oral minoxidil (0.25mg daily) has been successfully used in combination with spironolactone in the treatment of female pattern hair loss (FPHL)1 . Oral minoxidil (5mg daily) has been shown to be efficacious in male pattern hair loss (MPHL)2,3 . The objective of our study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of low-dose sublingual minoxidil (0.45mg daily) in MPHL and FPHL. Sublingual administration bypasses hepatic metabolism, thereby increasing bioavailability compared with oral administration.In recent years, dynamic multiobjective optimization problems (DMOPs) have drawn increasing interest. Many dynamic multiobjective evolutionary algorithms (DMOEAs) have been put forward to solve DMOPs mainly by incorporating diversity introduction or prediction approaches with conventional multiobjective evolutionary algorithms. Maintaining a good balance of population diversity and convergence is critical to the performance of DMOEAs. To address the above issue, a DMOEA based on decision variable classification (DMOEA-DVC) is proposed in this article. DMOEA-DVC divides the decision variables into two and three different groups in static optimization and changes response stages, respectively. In static optimization, two different crossover operators are used for the two decision variable groups to accelerate the convergence while maintaining good diversity. In change response, DMOEA-DVC reinitializes the three decision variable groups by maintenance, prediction, and diversity introduction strategies, respectively. DMOEA-DVC is compared with the other six state-of-the-art DMOEAs on 33 benchmark DMOPs. The experimental results demonstrate that the overall performance of the DMOEA-DVC is superior or comparable to that of the compared algorithms.Flavonoids are essential for male fertility in some but not all plant species. In rice, the chalcone synthase mutant oschs1 produces flavonoid-depleted pollens and is male sterile. The mutant pollens are viable with normal structure but they displayed reduced germination rate and pollen tube length. Analysis of pollens of oschs1/+ heterozygous lines showed that pollen flavonoid deposition is a paternal effect and fertility is independent from the haploid genotypes (OsCHS1 or oschs1). To understand which classes of flavonoids are involved in male fertility, we further analyzed rice mutants for branch-point enzymes of the downstream flavonoid pathways, including flavanone 3-hydroxylase (OsF3H; flavonol pathway entry enzyme), flavone synthase II (CYP93G1; flavone pathway entry enzyme) and flavanone 2-hydroxylase (CYP93G2; flavone C-glycoside pathway entry enzyme). Rice osf3h and cyp93g1 cyp93g2 CRISPR/Cas9 mutants, and cyp93g1 and cyp93g2 T-DNA insertional mutants showed altered flavonoid profiles in anthers but only osf3h and cyp93g1 cyp93g2 mutants displayed reduction in seed yield.
