Spiking neural networks (SNNs) inherently rely on the timing of signals for representing and processing information. Augmenting SNNs with trainable transmission delays, alongside synaptic weights, has recently shown to increase their accuracy and parameter efficiency. However, existing training methods to optimize such networks rely on discrete time, approximate gradients, and full access to internal variables such as membrane potentials.

Physicochemical, microbiological, and microstructural changes in germinated wheat grain.

PLoS One

September 2025

Department of Science, LLP "Research and Production Enterprise "Innovator", Astana, Kazakhstan.

This study investigates the physicochemical, microbiological, and microstructural changes in soft wheat grain during germination under varying moisture conditions: moderately dry, moist, and wet. Pre-harvest sprouting can severely compromise grain quality and usability; however, understanding germination-induced changes offers insights into potential utilization strategies. Physical parameters-including thousand-kernel weight, test weight, and falling number-showed strong correlation with germination time, decreasing by 8.

In industrial scenarios, semantic segmentation of surface defects is vital for identifying, localizing, and delineating defects. However, new defect types constantly emerge with product iterations or process updates. Existing defect segmentation models lack incremental learning capabilities, and direct fine-tuning (FT) often leads to catastrophic forgetting.

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of MRP inhibition by MK571 on prostate hypercontractility in diet-induced obesity, based on the hypothesis that this intervention enhances intracellular cAMP and cGMP signaling.

Methods: Adult C57BL/6 mice were divided into three groups: (i) lean, (ii) obese, and (iii) obese + MK571 (5 mg/kg/day, 14 days). The prostate was isolated for immunohistochemistry, biochemistry and functional assays.

The German Federal Ex Situ Genebank for Agricultural and Horticultural Crops (IPK) harbours over 3000 pea plant genetic resources (PGRs), backed up by corresponding information across 16 key agronomic and economical traits. The unbalanced structure and inconsistent format of this historical data has precluded effective leverage of genebank accessions, despite the opportunities contained in its genetic diversity. Therefore, a three-step statistical approach founded in linear mixed models was implemented to enable a rigorous and targeted data curation.
