'Thibaud Biatek' 'Mikael Raulet' 'Jean Le Feuvre'] Versatile Video Coding (VVC) is the most recent international video coding standard jointly developed by ITU-T and ISO/IEC, which has been finalized in July 2020. VVC allows for significant bit-rate reductions around 50% for the same subjective video quality compared…

'Mahmoud Reza Hashemi'] While the next generation video compression standard, Versatile Video Coding (VVC), provides a superior compression efficiency, its computational complexity dramatically increases. This paper thoroughly analyzes this complexity for both encoder and decoder of VVC Test Model 6, by quantifying the…

This paper presents a memory assessment of the next-generation Versatile Video Coding (VVC). The memory analyses are performed adopting as a baseline the state-of-the-art High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). The goal is to offer insights and observations of how critical the memory requirements of VVC are aggravated…

When recalling past episodes, different features of an experience, such as conceptual meaning and perceptual detail, are reconstructed and reinstated across distributed cortical regions. However, current models of human memory remain unclear how these feature-specific reinstatements unfold over time, and whether they…

Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), caused by the commensal pathobiont Candida albicans, affects >75% of women, marring quality of life and incurring significant health costs. Estrogen (E2) activity is tightly linked to VVC susceptibility, and preclinical models employ E2 to establish vaginal colonization. Unlike most…

—To facilitate the development of reinforcement learning (RL) based power distribution system Volt-VAR control (VVC), this paper introduces a suite of open-source datasets for RL-based VVC algorithm research that is sample efficient, safe, and robust. The dataset consists of two components: 1. a Gymlike VVC testing…

'Aline Roumy'] Abstract—The promising improvement in compression efficiency of Versatile Video Coding (VVC) compared to High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) [1] comes at the cost of a non-negligible encoder side complexity. The largely increased complexity overhead is a possible obstacle towards its industrial…

Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a highly prevalent condition affecting up to 75% of women, yet the mechanisms underpinning the transition from asymptomatic colonisation by Candida albicans to symptomatic infection remain incompletely understood. VVC is hormonally driven and rare in young girls and postmenopausal…

Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (VVC) is the most prevalent Candida infection in humans affecting 75% of women at least once throughout their lifetime. In its debilitating recurrent form, RVVC is estimated to affect 140 million women annually. Despite this strikingly high prevalence, treatment options for RVVC remain limited…

1## INTRODUCTION Verrucous carcinoma (VC) of the vulva is a rare form of squamous cell carcinoma that accounts for approximately 1% of vulvar tumors., VC was first classified as a form of squamous cell carcinoma by Ackerman in 1948 in a case of VC of the oral cavity. In 1963 Goethals et al. first suggested involvement…

Earlier QM/MM studies of the resting state of vanadium chloroperoxidase (VCPO) focused on the diprotonated states of the vanadate cofactor. Herein, we report a new extensive QM/MM study that includes the tri- and quadprotonated states of VCPO at neutral pH. We identify certain di- and triprotonated states as being…

A major health burden for the elderly, vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) is a disease that combines cognitive (CD) and cardiovascular (CVD) components. The molecular mechanisms underlying this disease are poorly understood, and our work attempts to bridge this knowledge gap by building protein-protein interaction…

Verrucous venous malformation (VVM), formerly known as verrucous hemangioma, is a rare type of congenital vascular malformations that typically presents as a raised, warty lesion on the skin. It was first described in 1991 by Mulliken and Glowacki, who coined the term “verrucous hemangioma” to describe the distinctive…

Verrucous Venous Malformations (VVMs) are a rare subtype of Congenital Vascular Malformations (CVMs) characterised by a hyperkeratotic, verrucous surface. We present the case of a ten-year-old male with a VVM localised to the right knee, which presented as a gradually enlarging, asymptomatic lesion since birth. A…

The design of photoactive compounds is challenging due to the complicated nature that the ensuing photodynamics can assume. The complexity of this problem increases with the size and flexibility of the system, and the challenge becomes especially difficult in the rational design of open-shell transition-metal complexes…

Von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) is an autosomal dominant rare disease that causes the formation of angiogenic tumors. When functional, pVHL acts as an E3 ubiquitin ligase that negatively regulates hypoxia inducible factor (HIF). Genetic mutations that perturb the structure of pVHL result in dysregulation of HIF…

Electrosurgery procedures produce airborne contaminants including volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The effectiveness of commercial grade activated carbon at removing toluene, a typical VOC, from the air in an enclosed simulated operating room when interfaced with an air recirculation device was tested. The…

The compound Ni4V3O10 forms a new structure type in the tetragonal space group P4/n. The material can be produced using solid-state synthesis in a narrow temperature range, and the structure was confirmed using X-ray and neutron powder diffraction data. The phase contains occupationally disordered Ni/V in tetrahedral…

Zimbabwe is one of the 14 countries in eastern and southern Africa that have adopted Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (VMMC) as an HIV prevention intervention in response to WHO’s recommendation for countries with generalised high HIV epidemics and low VMMC prevalence. However, since 2013 when VMMC was scalled up in…

The rapid depressurisation of pressure vessels containing hazardous substances in chemical plants, known as blowdown, is a critical process for ensuring plant safety. Blowdown significantly reduces the inventory as well as duration and rate of potential leaks, thereby mitigating the risks of escalation, fire and…
