3-Ethyl-4-[(E)-2-methyl­benzyl­idene­amino]-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5(4H)-thione

Crystals of the title compound, C12H14N4S, were obtained from a condensation reaction of 4-amino-3-ethyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5(4H)-thione and 2-methyl­benzaldehyde. In the mol­ecular structure, there is a short N=C double bond [1.255 (2) Å], and the benzene and triazole rings are located on opposite sites of this double bond. The two rings are approximately parallel to each other, the dihedral angle being 1.75 (11)°. A partially overlapped arrangement is observed between the nearly parallel triazole and benzene rings of adjacent mol­ecules; the perpendicular distance of the centroid of the triazole ring from the benzene ring is 3.482 Å, indicating the existence of π–π stacking in the crystal structure

(E)-2-Acetyl­pyrazine 4-nitro­phenyl­hydrazone

In the title compound, C12H11N5O2, the mol­ecule adopts an E configuration, with the benzene and pyrazine rings located on opposite sides of the N=C double bond. The face-to-face separations of 3.413 (14) and 3.430 (8) Å, respectively between parallel benzene rings and between pyrazine rings indicate the existence of π–π stacking between adjacent mol­ecules. The crystal structure also contains N—H⋯N and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonding

2-Methyl­benzaldehyde 2-methyl­benzyl­idenehydrazone

The mol­ecule of the title compound, C16H16N2, is centrosymmetric and the dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the dimethyl­hydrazine mean plane is 16.11 (15)°

Mask-guided modality difference reduction network for RGB-T semantic segmentation

By exploiting the complementary information of RGB modality and thermal modality, RGB-thermal (RGB-T) semantic segmentation is robust to adverse lighting conditions. When fusing features from RGB images and thermal images, the existing methods design different feature fusion strategies, but most of these methods overlook the modality differences caused by different imaging mechanisms. This may result in insufficient usage of complementary information. To address this issue, we propose a novel Mask-guided Modality Difference Reduction Network (MMDRNet), where the mask is utilized in the image reconstruction to ensure that the modality discrepancy within foreground regions is minimized. Doing so enables the generation of more discriminative representations for foreground pixels, thus facilitating the segmentation task. On top of this, we present a Dynamic Task Balance (DTB) method to balance the modality difference reduction task and semantic segmentation task dynamically. The experimental results on the MFNet dataset and the PST900 dataset demonstrate the superiority of the proposed mask-guided modality difference reduction strategy and the effectiveness of the DTB method

SN 2018gk Revisited: the Photosphere, the Central Engine, And the Putative Dust

In this paper, we perform a comprehensive study for the physical properties of SN 2018gk which is a luminous type IIb supernova (SN). We find that the early-time photospheric velocity vary from a larger value to a smaller value before the photosphere reach a temperature floor. We generalize the photosphere modulus and fit the multi-band light curves (LCs) of SN 2018gk. We find that the $^{56}$Ni mass model require $\sim0.90$ M$_\odot$ of $^{56}$Ni which is larger than the derived ejecta mass ($\sim0.10$ M$_\odot$). Alternatively, we use the magnetar plus $^{56}$Ni and the fallback plus $^{56}$Ni models to fit the LCs of SN 2018gk, finding that the two models can fit the LCs. We favor the magnetar plus $^{56}$Ni since the parameters are rather reasonable ($M_{\rm ej} =1.65$ M$_\odot$, $M_{\rm Ni}=0.05$ M$_\odot$ which is smaller than the upper limit of the value of the $^{56}$Ni mass can by synthesized by the neutrino-powered core collapse SNe $B=6.52\times10^{14}$ G which is comparable to those of luminous and superluminous SNe studied in the literature, and $P_0=10.42$ ms which is comparable to those of luminous SNe), while the validity of the fallback plus $^{56}$Ni model depends on the accretion efficiency ($\eta$). Therefore, we suggest that SN 2018gk might be a SN IIb mainly powered by a central engine. Finally, we confirm the NIR excesses of the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of SN 2018gk at some epochs and constrain the physical properties of the putative dust using the blackbody plus dust emission model.Comment: 26 pages, 11 figures, 5 tables, Accepted for publication in Ap

(E)-N′-[1-(4-Amino­phen­yl)ethyl­idene]benzohydrazide

Crystals of the title compound, C15H15N3O, were obtained from a condensation reaction of benzohydrazide and 1-(4-amino­phen­yl)ethanone. The mol­ecule assumes an E configuration with the amino­phenyl and benzohydrazide units located on opposite sites of the C=N double bond. In the crystal structure, the benzene rings of the mol­ecule are slightly twisted with respect to the central hydrazide, the dihedral angles being 18.22 (12) and 27.62 (12)°. The crystal structure contains inter­molecular N—H⋯O and weak C—H⋯N hydrogen bonding
