Full-length inhibitor protein is the most effective to perturb human dUTPase activity by Bianka Kőhegyi, Zoé S. Tóth, Enikő Gál, Máté Laczkovich, András Benedek, Beáta G. Vértessy, Kinga Nyíri

“…The effect of StlNT and a peptide derived from the full-length inhibitor on the activity of the human dUTPase was also tested. We showed that the C-terminal part of the Stl protein omitted from the crystal structure has an important role in the enzyme inhibition as the full-length Stl is needed to exert maximal inhibition on the human dUTPase.…”

Rethinking the Key Factors for the Generalization of Remote Sensing Stereo Matching Networks by Liting Jiang, Feng Wang, Wenyi Zhang, Peifeng Li, Hongjian You, Yuming Xiang

“…To improve the generalization ability of stereo matching networks on cross-domain data from different optical sensors and scenarios, in this article, we are dedicated to studying the key training factors from three perspectives. 1) When selecting a training dataset, prioritize data with similar regional target distribution as the test set, rather than relying on data from the same sensor. 2) Regarding the training modes, unsupervised methods generalize better than supervised methods. 3) We devised an unsupervised early stop strategy to help preserve the best model based on the pretrained weights. …”
