Abstract: Methods and systems for determining information for a specimen are provided. One system includes a computer subsystem and one or more components executed by the computer subsystem. The one or more components include a pre-trained defect generative pre-trained transformer (DefectGPT) encoder configured for determining information for a specimen based on one or more inputs specific to the specimen. The computer subsystem is configured for inputting the one or more inputs into the pre-trained DefectGPT encoder.

Abstract: A system and method described herein is effective for generating automated visual analytics and player statistics for videos of sporting events. A dataset of videos is collected that comprises multiple teams. Training the networks on RGB and grayscale images affects the generalization ability of the network learned and augmenting more images using generative adversarial networks to the dataset helps further improves the performance.

Abstract: The present disclosure related to a method for screening compounds having the ability to prevent, treat or reduce malodor development on body surfaces. In particular, the method screens for compounds having the ability of preventing sweat malodor development caused by malodor causing volatile acid compounds and/or malodor causing volatile sulphur compounds. The present disclosure is based on a sensitive analytical method to determine the presence of the precursors of malodor causing volatile acid compounds and/or malodor causing volatile sulphur compounds present in sweat, which are metabolised by bacteria, such as, for example, Cornebacteria or Staphylococci to malodor causing volatile acid compounds and malodor causing volatile sulphur compounds.

Abstract: Described herein is a method of producing a drimane sesquiterpene, such as an albicanol compound and/or derivatives thereof, by contacting at least one polypeptide with farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) with a polypeptide of the Haloacid dehalogenase-like (HAD-like) hydrolase superfamily as obtainable from plants of the genus Dryopteris, in particular of the species Dryopteris fragrans. The method may be performed in vitro or in vivo. Also described herein are amino acid sequences of polypeptides useful in the methods and nucleic acids encoding the polypeptides described. Also described herein are host cells or organisms genetically modified to express the polypeptides and useful to produce a drimane sesquiterpene such as an albicanol compound.

Abstract: A method of providing resource unit based data block partitioning may include determining, for a bit stream to be encoded in a coding scheme including an upper layer coding and a physical layer coding, whether upper layer coding is enabled. The method may further include, in response to the upper layer coding being enabled, partitioning the bit stream into one or more blocks for forward error correction coding. The one or more blocks may have a block size determined based on a size of a resource unit. The resource unit size may correspond to one or more units predefined in the physical layer for the resource allocation. A corresponding apparatus is also provided.
