Cover Story: We reared Port Jackson shark eggs at present day temperatures and at plus 3 degrees to mimic future climate change scenarios. We found that fewer shark embryos survived at higher temperatures, but those that did survive had far stronger laterality and showed strong turn biases to the right. We suspect this increased cerebral lateralisation may be a compensatory mechanism to enhance cognitive capacity given a probable reduction in brain size due to developmental stress. View this paper.

14 June 2018

We represent the generating function of w-torsion Fubini polynomials by means of a fermionic p-adic integral on Zp. Then we investigate a quotient of such p-adic integrals on Zp, representing generating functions of three w-torsion Fubini polynomials...

Bayer Image Demosaicking Using Eight-Directional Weights Based on the Gradient of Color Difference

  • Yizheng Liu,
  • Chengyou Wang,
  • Hongming Zhao,
  • Jiayang Song and
  • Shiyue Chen

14 June 2018

In this paper, we propose a new demosaicking algorithm which uses eight-directional weights based on the gradient of color difference (EWGCD) for Bayer image demosaicking. To obtain the interpolation of green (G) pixels, the eight-directional G pixel...
