Two types of net cages commonly used in Taiwan are compared under typhoon wave and monsoon wave conditions to determine the suitable one. The submersible function of the selected cages to reduce the typhoon wave effect is analyzed. The yearly probability of the remaining volumes of the selected cages (deformed volume/undeformed volume) under a wave scatter diagram combined with a tidal current of the study area are analyzed and discussed. The influences of water depth on the selected cages for the site selection are investigated. Regarding the seabed sand waves in the study area, two potential disasters of mooring line failure and anchor sinking on the selected cages are considered and discussed. Both issues are a concern for the wind farm developers, fishery groups, and government authorities. According to the results, the selected cage aquaculture is feasible from an engineering standpoint in the case study area.

Most SoTA (State-of-the-Art) vision-based methods can read only cyclometers and fail to handle dial meters due to their in-between problem and ambiguous patterns to interpret a digit and are not light enough to be run on an embedded platform. This paper focuses on the design and development of an Internet of Things (IoT)-assisted real-time Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) system for utility billing in a smart city. To enhance the accuracy of object detection, most SoTA methods use a very deep CNN-based architecture to create rich feature maps. However, this backbone also makes small objects in the last layer become one pixel or less. This paper proposes a novel BI-Fusion Mixed Stage Partial (BIF-MSP) network to hold the spatial information of a smaller object at the end of network architecture and also increase the efficiency while operating on an embedded system. It can accurately detect small digits not only from cyclometers but also from dial meters. It can automatically decide a rule (anticlockwise or clockwise) to accurately read digits on a dial-type meter. After that, a carry-out re-checking module is proposed to further improve the accuracy of this AMR system. The experiments show the superiorities of our ARM system in terms of accuracy and efficiency.

The Z alpha domain protein family includes cellular (ADAR1, ZBP1 and PKZ) and viral (vaccinia virus E3 and cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3) ORF112) proteins. We studied CyHV-3 ORF112, which contains an intrinsically disordered region and a Z alpha domain. Genome editing of CyHV-3 indicated that the expression of only the Z alpha domain of ORF112 was sufficient for normal viral replication in cell culture and virulence in carp. In contrast, its deletion was lethal for the virus. These observations revealed the potential of the CyHV-3 model as a unique platform to compare the exchangeability of Z alpha domains expressed alone in living cells. Attempts to rescue the ORF112 deletion by a broad spectrum of cellular, viral, and artificial Z alpha domains showed that only those expressing Z-binding activity, the capacity to induce liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), and A-to-Z conversion, could rescue viral replication. For the first time, this study reports the ability of some Z alpha domains to induce LLPS and supports the biological relevance of dsRNA A-to-Z conversion mediated by Z alpha domains. This study expands the functional diversity of Z alpha domains and stimulates new hypotheses concerning the mechanisms of action of proteins containing Z alpha domains.
