We present for learning robust, flexible and generalizable 3D object representations without requiring heavy annotation efforts or supervision. Unlike conventional 3D generative models, our algorithm aims for building a structured latent space where certain factors of shape variations, such as object parts, can be disentangled into independent sub-spaces. Our novel decoder then acts on these individual latent sub-spaces (i. Read More

Twelve shale fracture veins and forty-nine fluid inclusion assemblages within the veins of 3800-4200 m in three wells located in different tectonic zones in the Yuxi Region, southern Sichuan Basin were selected in this study. The burial and thermal histories of single wells were reconstructed, and time-temperature-pressure of oil and gas filling were clarified using microscopy observation, Raman microprobe analyses, geochemical tests, and fluid inclusion microtemperature measurement. The shale fracture veins of the Wufeng-Longmaxi Formation in the Yuxi Region are mainly formed vertically and horizontally, where the vein-forming fluids are derived from endogenous fluids.

The opportunistic pathogen is gaining attention because of its disease-causing risks to aquatic animals and humans. In this study, seven strains isolated from different shrimp hatcheries in Southeast China were subjected to genome sequencing and subsequent comparative analysis to explore their intricate relationships with shrimp aquaculture. The seven isolates had an average nucleotide identity of ≥ 98. Read More

Fontan surgery by step-wise completing the isolation of originally mixed pulmonary and systemic circulation provides an operative approach for functional single-ventricle patients not amenable to biventricular repair and allows their survival into adulthood. In the absence of a subpulmonic pumping chamber, however, the unphysiological Fontan circulation consequently results in diminished cardiac output and elevated central venous pressure, in which multiple short-term or long-term complications may develop. Current understanding of the Fontan-associated complications, particularly toward etiology and pathophysiology, is extremely incomplete. Read More

Background: Abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism plays a critical role in gastric carcinogenesis and development. Hence, we presented a systematic analysis of glucose and lipid metabolism-related genes to explore their function and prognostic value in gastric cancer (GC).

Methods: The consensus clustering algorithm was used to identify the molecular subtypes based on glucose and lipid metabolism-related genes. Read More
