In standard Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), the receptive fields of artificial neurons
in each layer are designed to share the same size. It is well-known in the neuroscience …

Many mammalian viruses have acquired genes from their hosts during their evolution 1 . The
rationale for these acquisitions is usually quite clear: the captured genes are subverted to …

Covalently closed circular RNAs (circRNAs) are produced by precursor mRNA back-splicing
of exons of thousands of genes in eukaryotes. circRNAs are generally expressed at low …

Nitrogen-doped carbon nanofiber webs (CNFWs) with high surface areas are successfully
prepared by carbonization-activation of polypyrrole nanofiber webs with KOH. The as-…

Background Numerous population-based studies of age-related macular degeneration have
been reported around the world, with the results of some studies suggesting racial or ethnic …

Purpose Glaucoma is the leading cause of global irreversible blindness. Present estimates
of global glaucoma prevalence are not up-to-date and focused mainly on European ancestry …

AI is undergoing a paradigm shift with the rise of models (eg, BERT, DALL-E, GPT-3) that are
trained on broad data at scale and are adaptable to a wide range of downstream tasks. We …

Fine-tuning is the de facto way to leverage large pretrained language models to perform
downstream tasks. However, it modifies all the language model parameters and therefore …

We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
in a Chinese Han population by genotyping 1,047 cases and 1,205 controls using …

The SARS-CoV-2 epidemic started in late December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and has since
impacted a large portion of China and raised major global concern. Herein, we investigated …
