This study proposes a mobile-based lightweight deep learning model (Lite-MCC) capable of reconstructing three-dimensional (3D) spatial structures from a single RGB image. Conventional 3D reconstruction models require multi-view inputs or point cloud data and depend on large-scale computational resources, which limits their real-time applicability in practical environments. To address this limitation, the proposed Lite-MCC model simplifies the existing Multiview Compressive Coding (MCC) architecture, enabling accurate 3D reconstruction using only a single image. The model adopts a parallel structure consisting of a Vision Transformer (ViT-Tiny) and a Geometry Encoder to extract visual and spatial features simultaneously, while a Transformer Decoder generates the corresponding 3D point cloud. Furthermore, depth map–based input transformation and ONNX-based optimization are employed to achieve efficient real-time inference on edge devices. Experimental results on the CO3D dataset demonstrate that Lite-MCC reduces computational cost by 87% and memory usage by 65%, while maintaining a Chamfer Distance of 0.045, comparable to the original MCC model. These results indicate that the proposed method provides a promising direction for lightweight AI models enabling low-cost, real-time 3D recording and visualization.
Transition metal/porous carbon composite is good electrode candidate since porous carbon provides high surface porosity which promotes the access of electrolyte ions, and transition metal enables redox reactions to improve specific capacitance and energy density. In this study, iron/carbon nanofiber (CNF) composite electrodes were prepared by grafting ferrocenecarboxaldehyde to the CNFs which were fabricated by electrospinning and thermal treatment of polyacrylonitrile (PAN). The presence of iron on the CNF surface was confirmed by SEM/EDS, ICP-MS and XPS. Electrochemical performance was evaluated using a three-electrode cell with 1 M Na2SO4 as an electrolyte. Iron-grafted CNFs exhibited a high specific capacitance of 358 F g− 1 and an energy density of 49.7 Wh kg− 1 at 0.5 A g− 1, which is significantly higher than those for untreated CNFs (68 F g− 1 and 9.4 Wh kg− 1). This demonstrates that this iron/CNF composite is promising candidate for supercapacitor electrode with outstanding energy storage performance.
Porous carbon nanofiber (CNF) electrodes for supercapacitors were prepared by using polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and cucurbituril (CB), which is a macrocyclic compound comprising glycoluril units containing hollow cores. Mixture of PAN and CB in dimethyl sulfoxide was electrospun, and thermally treated to produce CNF electrodes. Their thermal stability, surface morphology, carbon microstructures, and surface porosity were investigated. Electrochemical properties were measured using three-electrode with synthesized CNFs without further treatment as a working electrode and 1 M Na2SO4 as an electrolyte. CNFs derived from PAN and CB exhibited a high specific capacitance of 183.5 F g− 1 and an energy density of 25.4 Wh kg− 1 at 0.5 A g− 1 with stable cyclic stability during 1000 cycles, which is significantly higher than those for CNFs derived from PAN only. This demonstrated that the introduction of CB successfully improved the energy storage performance of CNF electrodes.
Despite that porcine spermatogonial stem cells (pSSCs) have been regarded as a practical tool for preserving eternally genetic backgrounds derived from pigs with high performance in the economic traits or phenotypes of specific human diseases, there were no reports about precise definition of niche conditions promoting proliferation and maintenance of pSSCs. Accordingly, we tried to determine niche conditions supporting proliferation and maintenance of undifferentiated pSSCs for short-term. For these, undifferentiated pSSCs were progressively cultured in different composition of culture medium, seeding density of pSSCs, type of feeder cells and concentration of growth factors, and then total number of and alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity of pSSCs were investigated at post-6 day culture. As the results, the culture of 4x105 pSSCs on mitotically in activated 2x105 STO cells in the mouse embryonic stem cell culture medium (mESCCM) supplemented with 30 ng/ml glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) was identified as the best niche condition supporting effectively the short-term maintenance of undifferentiated pSSCs. Moreover, the optimized short-term culture system will be a basis for developing long-term culture system of pSSCs in the following researches.
