Scale Enhancement Pyramid Network for Small Object Detection from UAV Images

Object detection is challenging in large-scale images captured by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), especially when detecting small objects with significant scale variation. Most solutions employ the fusion of different scale features by building multi-scale feature pyramids to ensure that the detail and semantic information are abundant. Although feature fusion benefits object detection, it still requires the long-range dependencies information necessary for small objects with significant scale variation detection. We propose a simple yet effective scale enhancement pyramid network (SEPNet) to address these problems. A SEPNet consists of a context enhancement module (CEM) and feature alignment module (FAM). Technically, the CEM combines multi-scale atrous convolution and multi-branch grouped convolution to model global relationships. Additionally, it enhances object feature representation, preventing features with lost spatial information from flowing into the feature pyramid network (FPN). The FAM adaptively learns offsets of pixels to preserve feature consistency. The FAM aims to adjust the location of sampling points in the convolutional kernel, effectively alleviating information conflict caused by the fusion of adjacent features. Results indicate that the SEPNet achieves an AP score of 18.9% on VisDrone, which is 7.1% higher than the AP score of state-of-the-art detectors RetinaNet achieves an AP score of 81.5% on PASCAL VOC.

Efficient modification with flexible spacing coating for in situ reversible assembly of semirigid macroscopic objects through hierarchical metal coordination

Macroscopic supramolecular assembly plays a key role to bridge the fundamental researches on molecular recognition to the potential applications as supramolecular materials. However, the challenge remains to promote the research from soft hydrogel system to semirigid objects or building blocks. Herein, the concept of flexible spacing coating was employed to modify the model polydimethylsiloxane building blocks, and reversible macroscopic assembly was successfully realized through introducing highly directional, dynamic, and reversible coordinate interactions as driving forces. The driving force for the macroscopic assembly was confirmed by introducing highly competitive ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid solution as an orthodox system to disassemble the assembled blocks. Moreover, the coordinate interaction was further understood through unique in situ measurements of binding forces between building blocks during assembly process. This work of macroscopic supramolecular assembly provides an in situ visible platform, which is significant to clarify the highly fascinating and facile coordinate interactions on the macroscopic assembly behavior.

Carbon,natural and synthetic sorbents for decontamination of objects of ecosystems from pathogenic microflora

Physico-chemical characteristics and sorption activity of carbon, organosilica sorbents and their modified forms towards proteins, possessing specific activity, and cholerae vibrio have been studied. It was found, that carbon materials modified by copper (II) effectively extracts cholerae vibrio (100%) and may be recommended for disinfection of drinking water. Sorption capacity of organosilica sorbents and their modified by copper (II) forms towards pathogenic microflora (E.coli, St.aureus, Ps.aeruginosa) depending on the composition of the sorbents, concentration of the modified reagent, pH of medium have been evaluated. The rows of the increase of sorption of pathogenic microorganisms by synthetic sorbents in water-salt solutions were established: Al(III)<Zn(II)<Cu (II). It was shown that inhibiting effect of modified synthetic organosilica and natural sorbents towards such pathogenic microorganisms as E-coli, St.aureus Ps.aeruginosa and fungus Bacillus pyocyaneus accordingly is equal 80–98%.     

Characterisation of natural polysaccharides (plant gums) used as binding media for artistic and historic works by capillary zone electrophoresis

The monosaccharide constituents of plant gums were separated by capillary electrophoresis at pH 12.1 and detected with indirect UV absorbance. The plant gums investigated were gum arabic, gum acacia, gum tragacanth, cherry gum and locust bean gum (carob gum). The monosaccharides obtained after hydrolysis with 2M trifluoroacetic acid and lyophilisation of the hydrolysate were arabinose, galactose, mannose, rhamnose, xylose, fucose, and glucose, and the two sugar acids galacturonic and glucuronic acid, in accordance with the literature. They were separated in a background electrolyte consisting of NaOH to adjust the pH, 20 mM 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid as chromophore for detection and 0.5 mM cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as additive to reverse the electroosmotic flow. Based on their electropherograms, the plant gums could be identified by their typical composition (depicted in a decision scheme) as follows: a peak of glucuronic acid, together with that of rhamnose, is indicative for gum arabic. Peaks of galacturonic acid and fucose point to gum tragacanth. Locust bean gum shows a major peak for mannose (with the concomitant galactose peak in ratio 4-1), whereas a glucuronic acid and a mannose peak together with a prominent arabinose peak indicates cherry gum. The method was applied to identify the plant gums in samples like watercolours and in several paint layers like gum tempera or those with egg white or drying oils as additives. Artificial aging experiments of thin layers of gum arabic on paper or glass carried out with UV-A radiation (366 nm) did not result in changes of the saccharide patterns, in contrast to the simultaneously conducted aging of a drying oil layer.     

Two criteria for locally noetherian Grothendieck categories

We give two criteria for a Grothendieck category to be locally noetherian. The first of these is in terms of direct sum decompositions into uniform components. The second is related to the existence of finitely injective objects that cannot be expressed as a direct sum of injectives.
