Model experiment of magnetic field amplification in laser-produced plasmas via the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability
A model experiment of magnetic field amplification (MFA) via the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability (RMI) in supernova remnants (SNRs) was performed using a high-power laser. In order to account for very-fast acceleration of cosmic rays observed in SNRs, it is considered that the magnetic field has to be amplified by orders of magnitude from its background level. A possible mechanism for the MFA in SNRs is stretching and mixing of the magnetic field via the RMI when shock waves pass through dense molecular clouds in interstellar media. In order to model the astrophysical phenomenon in laboratories, there are three necessary factors for the RMI to be operative: a shock wave, an external magnetic field, and density inhomogeneity. By irradiating a double-foil target with several laser beams with focal spot displacement under influence of an external magnetic field, shock waves were excited and passed through the density inhomogeneity. Radiative hydrodynamic simulations show that the RMI evolves as the density inhomogeneity is shocked, resulting in higher MFA
MVA2023 Small Object Detection Challenge for Spotting Birds: Dataset, Methods, and Results
Small Object Detection (SOD) is an important machine vision topic because (i)
a variety of real-world applications require object detection for distant
objects and (ii) SOD is a challenging task due to the noisy, blurred, and
less-informative image appearances of small objects. This paper proposes a new
SOD dataset consisting of 39,070 images including 137,121 bird instances, which
is called the Small Object Detection for Spotting Birds (SOD4SB) dataset. The
detail of the challenge with the SOD4SB dataset is introduced in this paper. In
total, 223 participants joined this challenge. This paper briefly introduces
the award-winning methods. The dataset, the baseline code, and the website for
evaluation on the public testset are publicly available.Comment: This paper is included in the proceedings of the 18th International
Conference on Machine Vision Applications (MVA2023). It will be officially
published at a later date. Project page :

Specific peptide conjugation to a therapeutic antibody leads to enhanced therapeutic potency and thermal stability by reduced Fc dynamics
Abstract Antibody–drug conjugates are powerful tools for combatting a wide array of cancers. Drug conjugation to a therapeutic antibody often alters molecular characteristics, such as hydrophobicity and effector function, resulting in quality deterioration. To develop a drug conjugation methodology that maintains the molecular characteristics of the antibody, we engineered a specific peptide for conjugation to the Fc region. We used trastuzumab and the chelator (DOTA) as model antibody and payload, respectively. Interestingly, peptide/DOTA-conjugated trastuzumab exhibited enhanced antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and increased thermal stability. Detailed structural and thermodynamic analysis clarified that the conjugated peptide blocks the Fc dynamics like a “wedge.” We revealed that (1) decreased molecular entropy results in enhanced ADCC, and (2) blockade of Fc denaturation results in increased thermal stability. Thus, we believe that our methodology is superior not only for drug conjugation but also as for reinforcing therapeutic antibodies to enhance ADCC and thermal stability
