The use of convolutional neural networks improved greatly data synthesis in the last years and have been widely used for data augmentation in scenarios where very imbalanced data is observed, such as land cover segmentation.Balancing the proportion of classes for training segmentation models can be very challenging considering that samples where al

Abstract Oviraptorosaurians were a theropod click here dinosaur group that reached high diversity in the Late Cretaceous.Within oviraptorosaurians, the later diverging oviraptorids evolved distinctive crania which were extensively pneumatised, short and tall, and had a robust toothless beak, interpreted as providing a powerful bite for their herbiv
Signaling events leading to Schwann cell tumor initiation have been extensively characterized in the context of neurofibromatosis (NF).Similar tumors are also observed in patients with the endocrine neoplasia syndrome Carney complex, which results from inactivating mutations in PRKAR1A.Loss of PRKAR1A causes enhanced protein kinase A activity, alth
