Converting High-Performance and Low-Latency SNNs Through Explicit Modeling of Residual Error in ANNs.

Spiking neural networks (SNNs) have garnered interest due to their energy efficiency and superior effectiveness on neuromorphic chips compared with traditional artificial neural networks (ANNs). One of the mainstream approaches to implementing deep SNNs is the ANN-SNN conversion, which integrates the efficient training strategy of ANNs with the energy-saving potential and fast inference capability of SNNs. However, under extremely low-latency conditions, the existing conversion theory suggests that the problem of SNNs' neurons firing more or fewer spikes within each layer, i.

microRNA Targeting Cytochrome P450 Is Involved in Chlorfenapyr Tolerance in the Silkworm, (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae).

We first measured the content of chlorfenapyr and tralopyril in silkworm larvae using HPLC, revealing that chlorfenapyr can be biotransformed into tralopyril in silkworms. Then, a differential transcriptomic database of small RNA was constructed through Illumina RNA-Sequencing. qRT-PCR was conducted to determine the expression levels of Bmo-miR-6497-5p and the target CYP450 gene, and Bmo-miR-6497-5p was significantly upregulated in the L3 silkworm larvae 24, 48, and 72 h after they were treated with chlorfenapyr.

Genome-wide identification of Morus notabilis Aquaporin gene family and differential expression of plasma membrane intrinsic proteins in response to Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum infection.

Background: Aquaporins (AQPs) play crucial roles in plant water transport, growth and development, and response to biotic and abiotic stresses. Despite their essential functions, the role of AQPs in mulberry trees (Morus L.) during Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum infection remains largely unknown.

Assisting Training of Deep Spiking Neural Networks With Parameter Initialization.

Spiking neural networks (SNNs) exhibit significant advantages in terms of information encoding, computational capabilities, and power usage. We regard initializing weight distribution as a key problem for effective SNN training. When backpropagation (BP) through time is used in the initial training phase, it has a significant impact on gradient generation.

Transcriptome analysis and functional study of phospholipase A in Galleria mellonella larvae lipid metabolism in response to envenomation by an ectoparasitoid, Iseropus kuwanae.

There is abundant evidence that parasitoids manipulate their hosts by envenomation to support the development and survival of their progeny before oviposition. However, the specific mechanism underlying host nutritional manipulation remains largely unclear. To gain a more comprehensive insight into the effects induced by the gregarious ectoparasitoid Iseropus kuwanae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) on the greater wax moth Galleria mellonella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) larvae, we sequenced the transcriptome of both non-envenomed and envenomed G.

Identification and functional study of detoxification-related genes in response to tolfenpyrad stress in Glyphodes pyloalis Walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae).

Glyphodes pyloalis Walker (G. pyloalis) is a common destructive mulberry pest. Due to the long-term and frequent use of insecticides, it has developed tolerance to commonly used insecticides.

Fatty acid synthases and desaturases are essential for the biosynthesis of α-linolenic acid and metamorphosis in a major mulberry pest, Glyphodes pyloalis walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae).

Background: α-linolenic acid is an essential unsaturated fatty acid in organisms. However, there is a large gap between α-linolenic acid accumulation and its synthesis mechanism in insects. Fatty acid synthases (FASs) and desaturases (Desats) are vital enzymes required for the synthesis of unsaturated fatty acids.

The role of Glutathione-S-transferases in phoxim and chlorfenapyr tolerance in a major mulberry pest, Glyphodes pyloalis walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae).

Glyphodes pyloalis Walker is a destructive pest on mulberry trees and poses a significant threat to the sericultural industry in China. Phoxim and chlorfenapyr are two commonly used insecticides in mulberry fields. Glutathione-S-transferases (GSTs) comprise a multifunctional protein superfamily that plays important roles in the detoxification of insecticides and xenobiotic compounds in insects.

Characterization, and Functional Analysis of Hsp70 and Hsp90 Gene Families in Walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae).

Walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) is a destructive mulberry pest, causing great damage to mulberry in China. Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are involved in various signal pathways and regulate lots of physiological processes in insects. The function of Hsps in , however, has still received less attention.

A role of peptidoglycan recognition protein in mediating insecticide detoxification in Glyphodes pyloalis.

Glyphodes pyloalis Walker has become one of the most significant mulberry pests, and it has caused serious economic losses in major mulberry growing regions in China. Peptidoglycan recognition proteins (PGRPs) are responsible for initiating and regulating immune signalling pathways in insects. However, their roles responding to chemical pesticides is still less known.

Characterization and Functional Analysis of Related to Chitin Metabolism in Walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae).

Walker () is a serious pest on mulberry. Due to the increasing pesticide resistance, the development of new and effective environmental methods to control is needed. Trehalase is an essential enzyme in trehalose hydrolysis and energy supply, and it has been considered a promising target for insect pest control.

Analysis of the Glyphodes pyloalis larvae immune transcriptome in response to parasitization by its endoparasitoid, Aulacococentrum confusum.

The interaction between a host and its parasitoid is one of the most fascinating relationships of insects. Immune-related genes play crucial roles in this association. Nevertheless, until now, identification of these genes on a large scale has not received much attention.

Identification, Characterization, and Functional Analysis of Chitin Synthase Genes in Walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae).

Walker () causes significant damage to mulberry every year, and we currently lack effective and environmentally friendly ways to control the pest. Chitin synthase (CHS) is a critical regulatory enzyme related to chitin biosynthesis, which plays a vital role in the growth and development of insects. The function of CHS in , however, has not been studied.
