Chromosome-level and haplotype-resolved genome assembly of Dracaena cambodiana (Asparagaceae).

Dracaena cambodiana Pierre ex Gagn. (Asparagaceae) is the source plant of Dragon's blood and has high ornamental values in gardening. Currently, this species is classified as the second-class state-protected species in the National Key Protected Wild Plants (NKPWP) of China. However, limited genomic data has hindered a more comprehensive scientific understanding of the processes involved in the production of Dragon's blood and the related conservation genomics research. In this study, we assembled a haplotype-resolved genome of D. cambodiana. The haploid genomes, haplotype A and haplotype B, are 1,015.22 Mb and 1,003.13 Mb in size, respectively. The completeness of haplotype A and haplotype B genomes was 98.60% and 98.20%, respectively, using the "embryophyta_10" dataset. Haplotype A and haplotype B genomes contained 27,361 and 27,066 protein-coding genes, respectively, with nearly all being functionally annotated. These findings provide new insights into the genomic characteristics of D. cambodiana and will offer additional genomic resources for studying the biosynthesis mechanism of Dragon's blood and the horticultural application of Dragon trees.

Genetic profiles of multiple system atrophy revealed by exome sequencing, long-read sequencing and spinocerebellar ataxia repeat expansion analysis.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a progressive, adult-onset neurodegenerative disorder clinically characterized by combinations of autonomic failure, parkinsonism, cerebellar ataxia and pyramidal signs. Although a few genetic factors have been reported to contribute to the disease, its mutational profiles have not been systemically studied. METHODS: To address the genetic profiles of clinically diagnosed MSA patients, exome sequencing and triplet repeat detection was conducted in 205 MSA patients, including one familial case. The pathogenicity of variants was determined according to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics and the Association for Molecular Pathology guidelines. RESULTS: In the familial patient, a novel heterozygous COQ2 pathogenic variant (p.Ala351Thr) was identified in the MSA pedigree. In the sporadic patients, 29 pathogenic variants were revealed in 21 genes, and the PARK7 p.Ala104Thr variant was significantly associated with MSA (p = 0.0018). Moreover, burden tests demonstrated that the pathogenic variants were enriched in cerebellar ataxia-related genes in patients. Furthermore, repeat expansion analyses revealed that two patients carried the pathogenic CAG repeat expansion in the CACNA1A gene (SCA6), one patient carried the (ACAGG)exp/(ACAGG)exp expansion in RFC1 and one carried the GAA-pure expansion in FGF14 gene. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, a novel COQ2 pathogenic variant was identified in a familial MSA patient, and repeat expansions in CACNA1A, RFC1 and FGF14 gene were detected in four sporadic patients. Moreover, a PARK7 variant and the burden of pathogenic variants in cerebellar ataxia-related genes were associated with MSA.

Accelerating the electron-transfer of nitrogen electro-fixation through assembling Fe nanoparticles into Fe nanochains.

Electrochemically synthesizing NH3 via N2 is a facile and sustainable approach that involves multistep electron and proton transfer processes. Thus, consecutive electron and proton transfer is necessary. Here, a universal method with the assistance of magnetic stirring that can assemble Fe, Co, and Ni nanoparticles into nanochains is developed. Notably, the Fe nanochain, composed of amorphous Fe nanoparticles, facilitates electron and proton transfer, resulting in an enhanced NH3 yield (92.42 µg h-1 mg-1) and faradaic efficiency (20.02%) at -0.4 V vs. RHE during the electrochemical reduction of N2. This work offers new insight into designing tandem electrocatalysts.

High-Throughput Screening and Prediction of Nucleophilicity of Amines Using Machine Learning and DFT Calculations.

Nucleophilic index (NNu) as a significant parameter plays a crucial role in screening of amine catalysts. Indeed, the quantity and variety of amines are extensive. However, only limited amines exhibit an NNu value exceeding 4.0 eV, rendering them potential nucleophiles in chemical reactions. To address this issue, we proposed a computational method to quickly identify amines with high NNu values by using Machine Learning (ML) and high-throughput Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. Our approach commenced by training ML models and the exploration of Molecular Fingerprint methods as well as the development of quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models for the well-known amines based on NNu values derived from DFT calculations. Utilizing explainable Shapley Additive Explanation plots, we were able to determine the five critical substructures that significantly impact the NNu values of amine. The aforementioned conclusion can be applied to produce and cultivate 4920 novel hypothetical amines with high NNu values. The QSAR models were employed to predict the NNu values of 259 well-known and 4920 hypothetical amines, resulting in the identification of five novel hypothetical amines with exceptional NNu values (>4.55 eV). The enhanced NNu values of these novel amines were validated by DFT calculations. One novel hypothetical amine, H1, exhibits an unprecedentedly high NNu value of 5.36 eV, surpassing the maximum value (5.35 eV) observed in well-established amines. Our research strategy efficiently accelerates the discovery of the high nucleophilicity of amines using ML predictions, as well as the DFT calculations.

Monitoring overloaded trucks with infrared thermal imaging of tire sidewall.

Overloaded trucks have long posed a threat to the road safety. To assess truck payload more effectively, this study focus on tire temperature data obtained through infrared thermal imaging. It is feasible to analyse the payload by monitoring one single representative tire. Tire sidewall surface is the best area for data extraction. Truck overload caused significant increase of gas temperature in tires, as well as external temperature. The internal temperature can be calculated with real gas equation of state. By studying the relationship between internal gas temperature of tire and payload, it is demonstrated that monitoring the temperature of tire sidewall surface is an innovative, remote, and real-time method to assess the payload situation of moving trucks.

L-Cysteine: A promising nutritional supplement for alleviating anxiety disorders.

Anxiety disorders are prevalent chronic psychological disease with complex pathogenic mechanisms. Current anxiolytics have limited efficacy and numerous side effects in many anxiety patients, highlighting the urgent need for new therapies. Recent research has been focusing on nutritional supplements, particularly amino acids, as potential therapies for anxiety disorders. Among these, L-Cysteine plays a crucial role in various biological processes. L-Cysteine exhibits antioxidant properties that can enhance the antioxidant functions of the central nervous system (CNS). Furthermore, metabolites of L-cysteine, such as glutathione and hydrogen sulfide have been shown to alleviate anxiety through distinct molecular mechanisms. Long-term administration of L-Cysteine has anxiolytic, antidepressant, and memory-improving effects. L-Cysteine depletion can lead to increased oxidative stress in the brain. This review delves into the potential mechanisms of L-Cysteine and its main products, glutathione (GSH) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in the management of anxiety and related diseases.

Protein A immunoadsorption for anti-glomerular basement membrane nephritis.

Anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) nephritis is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by acute and rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis. In this report, we present the case of a 52-year-old woman with anti-GBM nephritis who was treated with Staphylococcus Protein A immunoadsorption in combination with glucocorticoids and cyclophosphamide. After 8 cycles of immunoadsorption, the patient's anti-GBM antibodies decreased from 363 AU/mL to less than 20 AU/mL, accompanied by a dropped immunoglobin G level, although renal impairment persisted. We reviewed the therapeutic options for anti-GBM nephritis and compared plasma exchange, double filtration plasmapheresis, and immunoadsorption with regard to plasma consumption, allergic events, and plasma components loss. Protein A immunoadsorption appears to be a promising treatment modality for anti-GBM nephritis.

Chromosome-level assembly of Lindenbergia philippensis and comparative genomic analyses shed light on genome evolution in Lamiales.

Lamiales, comprising over 23,755 species across 24 families, stands as a highly diverse and prolific plant group, playing a significant role in the cultivation of horticultural, ornamental, and medicinal plant varieties. Whole-genome duplication (WGD) and its subsequent post-polyploid diploidization (PPD) process represent the most drastic type of karyotype evolution, injecting significant potential for promoting the diversity of this lineage. However, polyploidization histories, as well as genome and subgenome fractionation following WGD events in Lamiales species, are still not well investigated. In this study, we constructed a chromosome-level genome assembly of Lindenbergia philippensis (Orobanchaceae) and conducted comparative genomic analyses with 14 other Lamiales species. L. philippensis is positioned closest to the parasitic lineage within Orobanchaceae and has a conserved karyotype. Through a combination of Ks analysis and syntenic depth analysis, we reconstructed and validated polyploidization histories of Lamiales species. Our results indicated that Primulina huaijiensis underwent three rounds of diploidization events following the γ-WGT event, rather than two rounds as reported. Besides, we reconfirmed that most Lamiales species shared a common diploidization event (L-WGD). Subsequently, we constructed the Lamiales Ancestral Karyotype (LAK), comprising 11 proto-chromosomes, and elucidated its evolutionary trajectory, highlighting the highly flexible reshuffling of the Lamiales paleogenome. We identified biased fractionation of subgenomes following the L-WGD event across eight species, and highlighted the positive impacts of non-WGD genes on gene family expansion. This study provides novel genomic resources and insights into polyploidy and karyotype remodeling of Lamiales species, essential for advancing our understanding of species diversification and genome evolution.

The long-term effects of perceived instructional leadership on teachers' psychological well-being during COVID-19.

The COVID-19 outbreak led to widespread school closures and the shift to remote teaching, potentially resulting in lasting negative impacts on teachers' psychological well-being due to increased workloads and a perceived lack of administrative support. Despite the significance of these challenges, few studies have delved into the long-term effects of perceived instructional leadership on teachers' psychological health. To bridge this research gap, we utilized longitudinal data from 927 primary and secondary school teachers surveyed in two phases: Time 1 in mid-November 2021 and Time 2 in early January 2022. Using hierarchical linear modeling (HLM), our findings revealed that perceptions of instructional leadership, especially the "perceived school neglect of teaching autonomy" at Time 1 were positively correlated with burnout levels at Time 2. Additionally, burnout at Time 2 was positively associated with psychological distress and acted as a mediator between the "perceived school neglect of teaching autonomy" and psychological distress. In light of these findings, we recommend that schools prioritize teachers' teaching autonomy and take proactive measures to mitigate burnout and psychological distress, aiming for the sustainable well-being of both teachers and students in the post-pandemic era.

Discovery of clinical isolation of drug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae with overexpression of OqxB efflux pump as the decisive drug resistance factor.

Background emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial strains is a public health concern that threatens global and regional security. Efflux pump-overexpressing MDR strains from clinical isolates are the best subjects for studying the mechanisms of MDR caused by bacterial efflux pumps. A Klebsiella pneumoniae strain overexpressing the OqxB-only efflux pump was screened from a clinical strain library to explore reverse OqxB-mediated bacterial resistance strategies. We identified non-repetitive clinical isolated K. pneumoniae strains using a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry clinical TOF-II (Clin-TOF-II) and susceptibility test screening against levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin. And the polymorphism analysis was conducted using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. Efflux pump function of resistant strains is obtained by combined drug sensitivity test of phenylalanine-arginine beta-naphthylamide (PaßN, an efflux pump inhibitor) and detection with ethidium bromide as an indicator. The quantitative reverse transcription PCR was performed to assess whether the oqxB gene was overexpressed in K. pneumoniae isolates. Additional analyses assessed whether the oqxB gene was overexpressed in K. pneumoniae isolates and gene knockout and complementation strains were constructed. The binding mode of PaßN with OqxB was determined using molecular docking modeling. Among the clinical quinolone-resistant K. pneumoniae strains, one mediates resistance almost exclusively through the overexpression of the resistance-nodulation-division efflux pump, OqxB. Crystal structure of OqxB has been reported recently by N. Bharatham, P. Bhowmik, M. Aoki, U. Okada et al. (Nat Commun 12:5400, 2021, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-25679-0). The discovery of this strain will contribute to a better understanding of the role of the OqxB transporter in K. pneumoniae and builds on the foundation for addressing the threat posed by quinolone resistance.IMPORTANCEThe emergence of antimicrobial resistance is a growing and significant health concern, particularly in the context of K. pneumoniae infections. The upregulation of efflux pump systems is a key factor that contributes to this resistance. Our results indicated that the K. pneumoniae strain GN 172867 exhibited a higher oqxB gene expression compared to the reference strain ATCC 43816. Deletion of oqxB led a decrease in the minimum inhibitory concentration of levofloxacin. Complementation with oqxB rescued antibiotic resistance in the oqxB mutant strain. We demonstrated that the overexpression of the OqxB efflux pump plays an important role in quinolone resistance. The discovery of strain GN 172867 will contribute to a better understanding of the role of the OqxB transporter in K. pneumoniae and promotes further study of antimicrobial resistance.

Adsorption mechanism and remediation of heavy metals from soil amended with hyperthermophilic composting products: Exploration of waste utilization.

Due to high humification, hyperthermophilic composting products (HP) show potential for remediating heavy metal pollution. However, the interaction between HP and heavy metals remains unclear. This study investigated the adsorption mechanism and soil remediation effect of HP on heavy metals. The results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity of HP increased by an average of 30.74 % compared to conventional composting products. HP transformed 34.87 % of copper, 42.55 % of zinc, and 35.63 % of lead from exchangeable and reducible forms into residual and oxidizable forms, thus reducing the soil risk level. In conclusion, HP significantly enhanced the adsorption of heavy metals and their transformation from unstable to stable forms, primarily due to the higher content of hydroxyl and carboxyl groups. This study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of HP for remediating heavy metal pollution and to enhance the understanding of the underlying mechanism, which lays a foundation for waste utilization.

The chromosome-level genome assembly of the red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii.

Red swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, is the most cultured freshwater crayfish species. It attracts significant research attention due to its considerable economic importance. However, the limited availability of genome information has impeded further genetic studies and breeding programs. By utilizing Illumina, PacBio, and Hi-C sequencing technologies, we present a more comprehensive and continuous chromosome-level assembly for P. clarkii than the published one. The final genome size is 4.03 Gb, consisting of 2,358 scaffolds with a N50 of 42.87 Mb. Notably, 3.68 Gb, corresponding to 91.42% of the genome, was anchored to 94 chromosomes. The assembly comprises 70.64% repetitive sequences, including 5.21% tandem repeats and 65.40% transposable elements. Additionally, a total of 4,456 non-coding RNAs and 28,852 protein-coding genes were predicted in the P. clarkii genome, with 96.26% of the genes were annotated. This high-quality genome assembly not only represents a significant improvement for the genome of P. clarkii and provides insights into the unique genome evolution, but also offers valuable information for developing freshwater aquaculture and accelerating genetic breeding.

Surface Au-H Species as Self-Generated Prosthetic Groups of a Formate Dehydrogenase-like Au Nanozyme to Engineer Multienzymatic Activities.

Although the past decade has witnessed a rapid development of oxidoreductase-mimicking nanozymes, the mimicry of cofactors that play key roles in mediating electron and proton transfer remains limited. This study explores how surface Au-H species conjugated to Au nanoparticles (NPs) that imitate formate dehydrogenase (FDH) can serve as cofactors, analogous to NADH in natural enzymes, offering diverse possibilities for FDH-mimicking Au nanozymes to mimic various enzymes. Once O2 is present, Au-H species assist Au NPs to complete the on-demand H2O2 generation for cascade reactions. Alternatively, when oxidizing organic molecules are introduced as substrates, Au-H species confer nitro reductase- and aldehyde reductase-like activities on Au NPs under anaerobic conditions. Furthermore, similar to the dehydrogenase-NADH complex, Au NPs possessing Au-H species are gifted with esterase-like activity for ester hydrolysis. By revealing that Au-H species are prosthetic groups for FDH-mimicking Au nanozymes, this work may inspire explorations into future self-generated cofactor mimics for nanozymes, thereby circumventing the need for exogenous cofactors.

Impact of genomic and epigenomic alterations of multigene on a multicancer pedigree.

BACKGROUND: Germline mutations have been identified in a small number of hereditary cancers, but the genetic predisposition for many familial cancers remains to be elucidated. METHODS: This study identified a Chinese pedigree that presented different cancers (breast cancer, BRCA; adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction, AEG; and B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, B-ALL) in each of the three generations. Whole-genome sequencing and whole-exome sequencing were performed on peripheral blood or bone marrow and cancer biopsy samples. Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing was conducted on the monozygotic twin brothers, one of whom developed B-ALL. RESULTS: According to the ACMG guidelines, bioinformatic analysis of the genome sequencing revealed 20 germline mutations, particularly mutations in the DNAH11 (c.9463G > A) and CFH (c.2314G > A) genes that were documented in the COSMIC database and validated by Sanger sequencing. Forty-one common somatic mutated genes were identified in the cancer samples, displaying the same type of single nucleotide substitution Signature 5. Meanwhile, hypomethylation of PLEK2, MRAS, and RXRA as well as hypermethylation of CpG island associated with WT1 was shown in the twin with B-ALL. CONCLUSIONS: These findings reveal genomic alterations in a pedigree with multiple cancers. Mutations found in the DNAH11, CFH genes, and other genes predispose to malignancies in this family. Dysregulated methylation of WT1, PLEK2, MRAS, and RXRA in the twin with B-ALL increases cancer susceptibility. The similarity of the somatic genetic changes among the three cancers indicates a hereditary impact on the pedigree. These familial cancers with germline and somatic mutations, as well as epigenomic alterations, represent a common molecular basis for many multiple cancer pedigrees.

Modulation of Polarization in Sliding Ferroelectrics by Introducing Intrinsic Electric Fields.

The emergence of sliding ferroelectricity facilitates low-barrier ferroelectrics in two-dimensional materials, while limited electric polarizations impede practical applications. Herein, we propose an effective strategy to enlarge the polarization by introducing an intrinsic electric field, exemplified by Janus transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) with the first-principle calculations. The intrinsic electric field is introduced and regulated by leveraging the electronegativity differences among chalcogens. An improved polarization is achieved in the Janus TeMoS bilayer with a polarization of 1.18 pC/m, a 65% enhancement compared to normal TMD bilayers. Through differential charge density analysis, the inner mechanism is attributed to the effects of intrinsic electric fields on charge redistribution. Furthermore, the feasibility of polarization reversal is determined by evaluating switching barriers and the responses under an electric field. The provided proposal is applicable and available for broader systems and will pave the way for the development of novel electronic devices.

Turning copper into an efficient and stable CO evolution catalyst beyond noble metals.

Using renewable electricity to convert CO2 into CO offers a sustainable route to produce a versatile intermediate to synthesize various chemicals and fuels. For economic CO2-to-CO conversion at scale, however, there exists a trade-off between selectivity and activity, necessitating the delicate design of efficient catalysts to hit the sweet spot. We demonstrate here that copper co-alloyed with isolated antimony and palladium atoms can efficiently activate and convert CO2 molecules into CO. This trimetallic single-atom alloy catalyst (Cu92Sb5Pd3) achieves an outstanding CO selectivity of 100% (±1.5%) at -402 mA cm-2 and a high activity up to -1 A cm-2 in a neutral electrolyte, surpassing numerous state-of-the-art noble metal catalysts. Moreover, it exhibits long-term stability over 528 h at -100 mA cm-2 with an FECO above 95%. Operando spectroscopy and theoretical simulation provide explicit evidence for the charge redistribution between Sb/Pd additions and Cu base, demonstrating that Sb and Pd single atoms synergistically shift the electronic structure of Cu for CO production and suppress hydrogen evolution. Additionally, the collaborative interactions enhance the overall stability of the catalyst. These results showcase that Sb/Pd-doped Cu can steadily carry out efficient CO2 electrolysis under mild conditions, challenging the monopoly of noble metals in large-scale CO2-to-CO conversion.

Evans syndrome suggests disease progression in lung adenocarcinoma.

We admitted a 60-year-old male patient diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma who had a shrinking lung cancer mass after radiotherapy and 6 cycles of chemotherapy, but developed facial inflammation 2 weeks after the end of the final chemotherapy treatment, and was admitted to the hospital with anemia and thrombocytopenia, and diagnosed with Evans syndrome, and brain metastasis of lung cancer was found in the course of the consultation, which suggested disease progression. Evans syndrome was seen as a paraneoplastic syndrome.

MiR-200b-3p elevates 5-FU sensitivity in cholangiocarcinoma cells via autophagy inhibition by targeting KLF4.

Cholangiocarcinoma is one of the most lethal human cancers, and chemotherapy failure is a major cause of recurrence and poor prognosis. We previously demonstrated that miR-200 family members are downregulated in clinical samples of cholangiocarcinoma and inhibit cholangiocarcinoma tumorigenesis and metastasis. However, the role of differentially expressed miR-200b-3p in 5-fluorouracil chemosensitivity remains unclear. Here, we examined how miR-200b-3p modulates 5-fluorouracil chemosensitivity in cholangiocarcinoma. We observed that miR-200b-3p was associated with 5-fluorouracil sensitivity in cholangiocarcinoma and increased 5-fluorouracil-induced mitochondrial apoptosis in cholangiocarcinoma cells. Mechanistically, miR-200b-3p suppressed autophagy in cholangiocarcinoma cells to mediate 5-fluorouracil sensitivity. Further, we identified KLF4 as an essential target of miR-200b-3p in cholangiocarcinoma. Notably, the miR-200b-3p/KLF4/autophagy pathway augmented the chemosensitivity of cholangiocarcinoma cells to 5-fluorouracil. Our findings underscore the key role of miR-200b-3p in chemosensitivity to 5-fluorouracil and highlight the miR-200b-3p/KLF4/autophagy axis as a potential therapeutic target for cholangiocarcinoma.

Differential responses of the phyllosphere abundant and rare microbes of Eucommia ulmoides to phytohormones.

Phyllosphere microbiota play a crucial role in plant productivity and adaptation, and the abundant and rare microbial taxa often possess distinct characteristics and ecological functions. However, it is unclear whether the different subcommunities of phyllosphere microbiota respond variably to the factors that influence their formation, which limits the understanding of community assembly. The effects of two phytohormones, namely, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and N6-(delta 2-isopentenyl)-adenine (IP), on the phyllosphere microbial subcommunities of Eucommia ulmoides were investigated using potted experiments. The results demonstrated that the phytohormones induced significant variations in the composition, diversity, and function of the abundant microbial subcommunity in the phyllosphere of E. ulmoides, however, their effects on the rare subcommunity were negligible, and their effects on the moderate subcommunity were between those of the abundant and rare taxa. The phytohormones also induced significant alterations in the phenotypic and physiological properties of E. ulmoides, which indirectly affected the phyllosphere microbial community. Leaf thickness and average leaf area were the main phenotypic variables that affected the composition of the phyllosphere microbial community. The total alkaloid content and activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) were the main physiological variables that affected the composition of the phyllosphere microbial community. The phenotypic and physiological indices of E. ulmoides explained the variations in the phyllosphere microbial subcommunities in descending order: abundant > moderate > rare taxa. These variables explained a significant proportion of the variations in the abundant taxa, and an insignificant proportion of the variations in the rare taxa. This study improves our understanding of the assembly of the phyllosphere microbiota, which provides important theoretical knowledge for future sustainable agriculture and forestry management based on the precise regulation of phyllosphere microbiota.

An electric bicycle tracking algorithm for improved traffic management.

This paper proposes an efficient electric bicycle tracking algorithm, EBTrack, utilizing the high-precision and lightweight YOLOv7 as the target detector to enhance the efficiency of illegal detection and recognition of electric bicycles. The EBTrack effectively captures the position and trajectory of electric bicycles in complex traffic monitoring scenarios. Firstly, we introduce the feature extraction network, ResNetEB, specifically designed for feature re-identification of electric bicycles. To maintain real-time performance, feature extraction is performed only when generating new object IDs, minimizing the impact on processing speed. Secondly, for accurate target trajectory prediction, we incorporate an adaptive modulated noise scale Kalman filter. Additionally, considering the uncertainty of electric bicycle entry directions in traffic monitoring scenarios, we design a specialized matching mechanism to reduce frequent ID switching. Finally, to validate the algorithm's effectiveness, we have collected diverse video image data of electric bicycle and urban road traffic in Hefei, Anhui Province, encompassing different perspectives, time periods, and weather conditions. We have trained the proposed detector and have evaluated its tracking performance on this comprehensive dataset. Experimental results demonstrate that EBTrack achieves impressive accuracy, with 89.8 % MOTA (Multiple Object Tracking Accuracy) and 94.2 % IDF1 (ID F1-Score). Furthermore, the algorithm effectively reduces ID switching, significantly improving tracking stability and continuity.
