Most of existing salient object detection models have achieved great progress by aggregating multi-level features extracted from convolutional neural networks. However, because of the different receptive fields of different convolutional layers, there exists big differences between features generated by these layers. Common feature fusion strategies (addition or concatenation) ignore these differences and may cause suboptimal solutions. In this paper, we propose the F3Net to solve above problem, which mainly consists of cross feature module (CFM) and cascaded feedback decoder (CFD) trained by minimizing a new pixel position aware loss (PPA). Specifically, CFM aims to selectively aggregate multi-level features. Different from addition and concatenation, CFM adaptively selects complementary components from input features before fusion, which can effectively avoid introducing too much redundant information that may destroy the original features. Besides, CFD adopts a multi-stage feedback mechanism, where features closed to supervision will be introduced to the output of previous layers to supplement them and eliminate the differences between features. These refined features will go through multiple similar iterations before generating the final saliency maps. Furthermore, different from binary cross entropy, the proposed PPA loss doesn't treat pixels equally, which can synthesize the local structure information of a pixel to guide the network to focus more on local details. Hard pixels from boundaries or error-prone parts will be given more attention to emphasize their importance. F3Net is able to segment salient object regions accurately and provide clear local details. Comprehensive experiments on five benchmark datasets demonstrate that F3Net outperforms state-of-the-art approaches on six evaluation metrics.

All-inorganic perovskite solar cells (pero-SCs) are attracting considerable attention due to their promising thermal stability, but their inferior power-conversion efficiency (PCE) and moisture instability are hindering their application. Here, we used a gradient thermal annealing (GTA) method to control the growth of a-CsPbI 2 Br crystals and then utilized a green anti-solvent (ATS) isopropanol to further optimize the morphology of a-CsPbI 2 Br film. Through this GTA-ATS synergetic effect, the growth of a-CsPbI 2 Br crystals could be precisely controlled, leading to a high-quality perovskite film with one-micron average grain size, low root-mean-square of 25.9 nm, and reduced defect density. Pero-SCs based on this CsPbI 2 Br film achieved a champion scan PCE of 16.07% (stabilized efficiency of 15.75%), which is the highest efficiency reported in all-inorganic pero-SCs. Moreover, the CsPbI 2 Br pero-SC demonstrates excellent robustness against moisture and oxygen, and maintains 90% of initial PCE after aging 120 hr under 100 mW/cm 2 UV irradiation.
We report a 3.5-angstrom-resolution cryo–electron microscopy structure of a respiratory supercomplex isolated fromMycobacterium smegmatis.It comprises a complex III dimer flanked on either side by individual complex IV subunits. Complex III and IV associate so that electrons can be transferred from quinol in complex III to the oxygen reduction center in complex IV by way of a bridging cytochrome subunit. We observed a superoxide dismutase-like subunit at the periplasmic face, which may be responsible for detoxification of superoxide formed by complex III. The structure reveals features of an established drug target and provides a foundation for the development of treatments for human tuberculosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
