Artificial Intelligence in Fetal Resting-State Functional MRI Brain Segmentation: A Comparative Analysis of 3D UNet, VNet, and HighRes-Net Models
Introduction: Fetal resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging
(rs-fMRI) is a rapidly evolving field that provides valuable insight into brain
development before birth. Accurate segmentation of the fetal brain from the
surrounding tissue in nonstationary 3D brain volumes poses a significant
challenge in this domain. Current available tools have 0.15 accuracy. Aim: This
study introduced a novel application of artificial intelligence (AI) for
automated brain segmentation in fetal brain fMRI, magnetic resonance imaging
(fMRI). Open datasets were employed to train AI models, assess their
performance, and analyze their capabilities and limitations in addressing the
specific challenges associated with fetal brain fMRI segmentation. Method: We
utilized an open-source fetal functional MRI (fMRI) dataset consisting of 160
cases (reference: fetal-fMRI - OpenNeuro). An AI model for fMRI segmentation
was developed using a 5-fold cross-validation methodology. Three AI models were
employed: 3D UNet, VNet, and HighResNet. Optuna, an automated
hyperparameter-tuning tool, was used to optimize these models. Results and
Discussion: The Dice scores of the three AI models (VNet, UNet, and
HighRes-net) were compared, including a comparison between manually tuned and
automatically tuned models using Optuna. Our findings shed light on the
performance of different AI models for fetal resting-state fMRI brain
segmentation. Although the VNet model showed promise in this application,
further investigation is required to fully explore the potential and
limitations of each model, including the HighRes-net model. This study serves
as a foundation for further extensive research into the applications of AI in
fetal brain fMRI segmentation

Integrable Structure of Interface Dynamics
We establish the equivalence of a 2D contour dynamics to the dispersionless
limit of the integrable Toda hierarchy constrained by a string equation.
Remarkably, the same hierarchy underlies 2D quantum gravity.Comment: 5 pages, no figures, submitted to Phys. Rev. Lett, typos correcte
Formation of dense partonic matter in relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions at RHIC: Experimental evaluation by the PHENIX collaboration
Extensive experimental data from high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions were
recorded using the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider
(RHIC). The comprehensive set of measurements from the first three years of
RHIC operation includes charged particle multiplicities, transverse energy,
yield ratios and spectra of identified hadrons in a wide range of transverse
momenta (p_T), elliptic flow, two-particle correlations, non-statistical
fluctuations, and suppression of particle production at high p_T. The results
are examined with an emphasis on implications for the formation of a new state
of dense matter. We find that the state of matter created at RHIC cannot be
described in terms of ordinary color neutral hadrons.Comment: 510 authors, 127 pages text, 56 figures, 1 tables, LaTeX. Submitted
to Nuclear Physics A as a regular article; v3 has minor changes in response
to referee comments. Plain text data tables for the points plotted in figures

The Plant Diversity Sampling Design for The National Ecological Observatory Network
The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) is designed to facilitate an understanding of the impact of environmental change on ecological systems. Observations of plant diversity—responsive to changes in climate, disturbance, and land use, and ecologically linked to soil, biogeochemistry, and organisms—result in NEON data products that cross a range of organizational levels. Collections include samples of plant tissue to enable investigations of genetics, plot-based observations of incidence and cover of native and non-native species, observations of plant functional traits, archived vouchers of plants, and remote sensing airborne observations. Spatially integrating many ecological observations allows a description of the relationship of plant diversity to climate, land use, organisms, and substrates. Repeating the observations over decades and across the United States will iteratively improve our understanding of those relationships and allow for the testing of system-level hypotheses as well as the development of predictions of future conditions
Constraints on Axion Models from
We explore a new class of axion models in which some, but not all, of the
left-handed quarks have a Peccei-Quinn symmetry. These models are potentially
afflicted by flavour changing neutral currents. We derive the bounds on the
Peccei-Quinn symmetry-breaking scale from bounds on the
branching ratio, showing that in some cases they are even stronger than the
astrophysical ones, but still not strong enough to kill off the models.Comment: 15pp RevTeX, 1 eps fig, uses graphics style. Expanded discussion on
massive scalars and pseudoscalars, typos. To appear in Physical Review
