Research on the Construction Mechanism of Consumers’ Trust Intentions and Behaviors in the Context of Live Streaming Shopping
As a new-type media form integrating text, image, video, and audio, live streaming itself is an excellent way of informationcarrying and interaction. And the development of information technology makes the use of live streaming shopping easier and more convenient. At the same time, with the popularity of live streaming marketing, there are also some consumption traps, which not only harm the rights and interests of consumers but also affect its own development. Thus, how to build trust and improve the credit evaluation mechanism has become a common concern of academic and industrial circles. Anchored in the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and other research results, this paper expounds on the definition and connotation of trust intention in live streaming shopping in detail. From the perspective of consumers, the trust model of live streaming shopping is constructed based on the comprehensive consideration of social presence, consumers\u27 personal attitude, and structural assurance. It adopts partial least squares (PLS) structural equation modeling (SEM) to evaluate the research model and hypothesis. On the basis of 259 samples, the result shows that consumers\u27 trust behavior in live streaming shopping is mainly affected by live streamers\u27 personalities, comment information, social presence, platform characteristics, usefulness, and structural assurance. The research result of this paper will play a positive role in building a more credible environment, improving the trust relationship with consumers, and promoting potential transactions. Meanwhile, it also lays a foundation for understanding consumers\u27 trust behavior and related theories in the context of China
Action Sensitivity Learning for Temporal Action Localization
Temporal action localization (TAL), which involves recognizing and locating
action instances, is a challenging task in video understanding. Most existing
approaches directly predict action classes and regress offsets to boundaries,
while overlooking the discrepant importance of each frame. In this paper, we
propose an Action Sensitivity Learning framework (ASL) to tackle this task,
which aims to assess the value of each frame and then leverage the generated
action sensitivity to recalibrate the training procedure. We first introduce a
lightweight Action Sensitivity Evaluator to learn the action sensitivity at the
class level and instance level, respectively. The outputs of the two branches
are combined to reweight the gradient of the two sub-tasks. Moreover, based on
the action sensitivity of each frame, we design an Action Sensitive Contrastive
Loss to enhance features, where the action-aware frames are sampled as positive
pairs to push away the action-irrelevant frames. The extensive studies on
various action localization benchmarks (i.e., MultiThumos, Charades,
Ego4D-Moment Queries v1.0, Epic-Kitchens 100, Thumos14 and ActivityNet1.3) show
that ASL surpasses the state-of-the-art in terms of average-mAP under multiple
types of scenarios, e.g., single-labeled, densely-labeled and egocentric.Comment: Accepted to ICCV 202
Izdvajanje dihidromiricetina iz lišća biljke Ampelopsis grossedentata mikrovalnom i višefaznom protustrujnom ekstrakcijom
Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) technique in combination with multi-stage countercurrent extraction (MCE), namely microwave multi-stage countercurrent extraction (MMCE), was evaluated for the extraction of dihydromyricetin (DMY) from Ampelopsis grossedentata. Ethanol, methanol and water were used as extract solvents in the MMCE method. Of the three solvents used, water was found to be the best in extracting DMY from Ampelopsis grossedentata because it had a good extraction yield and is inexpensive, non-toxic and environmentally friendly. The optimal conditions of MMCE for the extraction of DMY can be determined to be the ratio of the extraction solvent to plant material of 30:1, the extraction time of 5 min, the extraction temperature of 110 °C and the microwave power of 600 W. In addition, the extraction efficiency of the MMCE method was compared with that of the microwave static batch extraction (MSBE) under the optimum extraction conditions. It was found that the MMCE method offered higher extraction efficiency than the MSBE method. Thus, the study suggests that the MMCE method provides an alternative technique in terms of both cost and efficiency.Ekstrakcija dihidromiricetina iz lišća biljke Ampelopsis grossedentata pokusno je provedena metodom mikrovalne ekstrakcije u kombinaciji s višefaznom protustrujnom ekstrakcijom. Kao otapalo upotrijebljeni su etanol, metanol i voda. Voda je najbolja za ekstrakciju dihidromiricetina iz Ampelopsis grossedentata jer daje dobro iskorištenje, jeftina je, nije toksična i ekološki je prihvatljiva. Kao optimalni uvjeti ovako kombinirane metode za ekstrakciju dihidromiricetina određeni su: omjer otapala i biljnog materijala 30:1, vrijeme ekstrakcije od 5 min, temperatura od 110 °C i snaga mikrovalova od 600 W. Uspoređujući učinkovitost ove metode s metodom diskontinuirane mikrovalne ekstrakcije u optimalnim
uvjetima, vidi se da se veća učinkovitost ekstrakcije postiže višefaznom nego diskontinuiranom mikrovalnom ekstrakcijom. Stoga se, s obzirom na troškove i njezinu učinkovitost, može preporučiti kao alternativna metoda
Growth diagram of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 thin films using pulsed laser deposition
An experimental study was conducted on controlling the growth mode of
La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 thin films on SrTiO3 substrates using pulsed laser deposition
(PLD) by tuning growth temperature, pressure and laser fluence. Different thin
film morphology, crystallinity and stoichiometry have been observed depending
on growth parameters. To understand the microscopic origin, the adatom
nucleation, step advance processes and their relationship to film growth were
theoretically analyzed and a growth diagram was constructed. Three boundaries
between highly and poorly crystallized growth, 2D and 3D growth, stoichiometric
and non-stoichiometric growth were identified in the growth diagram. A good fit
of our experimental observation with the growth diagram was found. This case
study demonstrates that a more comprehensive understanding of the growth mode
in PLD is possible

Lensless polarimetric coded ptychography (pol-CP) for high-resolution, high-throughput birefringence imaging on a chip
Polarimetric imaging provides valuable insights into the polarization state
of light interacting with a sample. It can infer crucial birefringence
properties of bio-specimens without using any labels, thereby facilitating the
diagnosis of diseases such as cancer and osteoarthritis. In this study, we
introduce a novel polarimetric coded ptychography (pol-CP) approach that
enables high-resolution, high-throughput birefringence imaging on a chip. Our
platform deviates from traditional lens-based polarization systems by employing
an integrated polarimetric coded sensor for lensless diffraction data
acquisition. Utilizing Jones calculus, we quantitatively determine the
birefringence retardance and orientation information of bio-specimens from four
recovered intensity images. Our portable pol-CP prototype can resolve the
435-nm linewidth on the resolution target and the imaging field of view for a
single acquisition is limited only by the detector size of 41 mm^2. The
prototype allows for the acquisition of gigapixel birefringence images with a
180-mm^2 field of view in ~3.5 minutes, achieving an imaging throughput
comparable to that of a conventional whole slide scanner. To demonstrate its
biomedical applications, we perform high-throughput imaging of malaria-infected
blood smears, locating parasites using birefringence contrast. We also generate
birefringence maps of label-free thyroid smears to identify thyroid follicles.
Notably, the recovered birefringence maps emphasize the same regions as
autofluorescence images, indicating the potential for rapid on-site evaluation
of label-free biopsies. The reported approach offers a portable, turnkey
solution for high-resolution, high-throughput polarimetric analysis without
using lenses, with potential applications in disease diagnosis, sample
screening, and label-free chemical imaging
Research progress in the relationship between EPIYA motif and <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> infection-associated gastropathy
Helicobacter pylori (Hp) is a major human pathogen. Hp infection will cause a series of gastrointestinal diseases, such as chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer and gastric cancer, etc. In recent years, with the increasing incidence of these diseases, their etiology and pathogenesis have attracted more and more attention from many scholars around the world. The pathogenic mechanism of cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA), one of the virulence genes of Hp, has captivated widespread attention. EPIYA motif and Hp infection-associated gastropathy have become a hot topic. In this article, the relationship between EPIYA motif and gastropathy related to Hp infection was briefly reviewed
A Locality-based Neural Solver for Optical Motion Capture
We present a novel locality-based learning method for cleaning and solving
optical motion capture data. Given noisy marker data, we propose a new
heterogeneous graph neural network which treats markers and joints as different
types of nodes, and uses graph convolution operations to extract the local
features of markers and joints and transform them to clean motions. To deal
with anomaly markers (e.g. occluded or with big tracking errors), the key
insight is that a marker's motion shows strong correlations with the motions of
its immediate neighboring markers but less so with other markers, a.k.a.
locality, which enables us to efficiently fill missing markers (e.g. due to
occlusion). Additionally, we also identify marker outliers due to tracking
errors by investigating their acceleration profiles. Finally, we propose a
training regime based on representation learning and data augmentation, by
training the model on data with masking. The masking schemes aim to mimic the
occluded and noisy markers often observed in the real data. Finally, we show
that our method achieves high accuracy on multiple metrics across various
datasets. Extensive comparison shows our method outperforms state-of-the-art
methods in terms of prediction accuracy of occluded marker position error by
approximately 20%, which leads to a further error reduction on the
reconstructed joint rotations and positions by 30%. The code and data for this
paper are available at https://github.com/non-void/LocalMoCap.Comment: Siggraph Asia 2023 Conference Pape
Phase transitions in Ising magnetic films and superlattices
Within the framework of mean field theory, we examine the phase transitions
in Ising magnetic films and superlattices. By transfer matrix method, we derive
two general nonlinear equations for phase transition temperatures of Ising
magnetic films and superlattices, respectively. The equations can be applied to
the films and superlattices with arbitrary exchange interaction constants and
arbitrary layer number. Numerical results for phase transition temperatures as
a function of exchange interaction constants are presented.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures, accepted by Solid State Communication
