We propose a method for animating static images using a generative adversarial network (GAN).Given a source image depicting a cloud image and a driving video sequence depicting a moving cloud image, our framework generates a video in which the source image is animated according to the driving sequence.By inputting the source image and optical flow

Fast and accurate taxonomic identification of invasive trans-located ladybird beetle species is essential to prevent significant impacts on biological communities, ecosystem functions, and agricultural business economics.Therefore, in this work we propose a two-step automatic detector for ladybird beetles in random environment images as the first s

Most marine bacteria produce exopolysaccharides (EPS), and bacterial EPS represent an important source of dissolved organic carbon in marine ecosystems.It was proposed that bacterial EPS rich in uronic acid is resistant to mineralization by microbes and thus has a long residence time in global oceans.To confirm this hypothesis, bacterial EPS rich i

Rarely are within-group differences among African American men explored in the context of mental health and well-being.Though current conceptual and empirical studies on depression among African American men exists, these studies do not offer a framework that considers how this disorder manifests over the adult life course for rail cover African Am

The technology of Augmented Reality is taking on an increasingly important role in the digital (and green) transformation of industry, including shipbuilding.Upgraded to the three-dimensional ship model in the form and content of a Digital Twin, (industrial) Augmented Reality contributes to the activities of sale and marketing, development, and des
