GazeNeRF: 3D-Aware Gaze Redirection with Neural Radiance Fields

We propose GazeNeRF, a 3D-aware method for the task of gaze redirection. Existing gaze redirection methods operate on 2D images and struggle to generate 3D consistent results. Instead, we build on the intuition that the face region and eyeballs are separate 3D structures that move in a coordinated yet independent fashion. Our method leverages...

Acceleration of corrosion of 304 stainless steel by outward extracellular electron transfer of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm

The influence of outward extracellular electron transfer (EET) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in accelerating corrosion of 304 stainless steel was investigated. With less NO₃⁻ available as electron acceptor, P. aeruginosa biofilm accelerated the pitting corrosion. The ICP-MS and XPS results indicated that P. aeruginosa...

Tracking traffic congestion and accidents using social media data: A case study of Shanghai

Traffic congestion and accidents take a toll on commuters' daily experiences and society. Locating the venues prone to congestion and accidents and capturing their perception by public members is invaluable for transport policy-makers. However, few previous methods consider user perception toward the accidents and congestion in finding and...

The effect of riboflavin on the microbiologically influenced corrosion of pure iron by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1

The microbiologically influenced corrosion of pure iron was investigated in the presence of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 with various levels of exogenous riboflavin (RF) serving as electron shuttles for extracellular electron transfer (EET). With more RF available, a larger and denser phosphate layer was formed on the surface of pure iron by...

A 2m-Range 711uW Body Channel Communication Transceiver Featuring Dynamically-Sampling Bias-Free Interface Front End

Body Channel Communication (BCC) offers a low-loss signal transmission medium for ultra-low-power wearable devices on human body [1]. However, the effective communication range on human body is limited to less than 1m in the state-of-the-art BCC transceivers [2], where the signal loss at the interface of body surface and BCC receiver remains to...

Adaptive bidirectional extracellular electron transfer during accelerated microbiologically influenced corrosion of stainless steel

Microbiologically influenced corrosion of metals is prevalent in both natural and industrial environments, causing enormous structural damage and economic loss. Exactly how microbes influence corrosion remains controversial. Here, we show that the pitting corrosion of stainless steel is accelerated in the presence of Shewanella oneidensis MR...
