Computer Vision Based Tracking Of Biological Cells-A Review

With the advent of highly advanced optics and imaging system, currently biological research has reached a stage where scientists can study biological entities and processes at molecular and cellular-level in real time. However, a single experiment consists of hundreds and thousands of parameters to be recorded and a large population of microscopic objects to be tracked. Thus, making manual inspection of such events practically impossible. This calls for an approach to computer-vision based automated tracking and monitoring of cells in biological experiments. This technology promises to revolutionize the research in cellular biology and medical science which includes discovery of diseases by tracking the process in cells, development of therapy and drugs and the study of microscopic biological elements. This article surveys the recent literature in the area of computer vision based automated cell tracking. It discusses the latest trends and successes in the development and introduction of automated cell tracking techniques and systems.

Redistribution as an income mobility process: The identification and measurement of redistribution

How can we evaluate the redistributive effect of welfare states? Do tax and transfer systems reduce the level of inequality generated in the market? In order to answer these questions, we need to be equipped with adequate measures of redistribution. Current measures employed in the sociology and politics of redistribution are seriously flawed. This paper elaborates the reasons why we cannot rely on those measures. Furthermore, it develops a framework to statistically identify redistribution as a micro-level income mobility process, and develops an index to measure it. Using data from the Luxembourg Income Study, the paper shows that the new measure of redistribution developed in this paper is empirically distinct from the conventional measures that have been used in the literature. The paper concludes by demonstrating the importance of the new measure of redistribution for improving our understanding of the social and political determinants of redistribution. In particular, it shows that the conventional wisdom in the political economy of redistribution does not hold in the light of the new measure developed in this paper.
Understanding Demographics Influence on Teleconsultation Acceptance in Hospitals: A Mixed-Method Study

The aim of this study is to explore and understand the influence of demographic factors on teleconsultation acceptance in Malaysian government hospitals. The materials of this study are based on an exploratory mixed-method study involving semi-structured interviews with key informants and questionnaires survey of health care providers. The prominent influence of demographic aspects over the acceptance of teleconsultation technology from the mixed methods standpoint is further discussed. The findings of both results provide evidence to suggest that teleconsultation acceptance differs across the types of hospital, distance between referring and referral hospital, role of teleconsultation, and user's computer ability. Interestingly, user's age, user's experience, urgency of case and presence of alternatives were not present as strong factors to influence teleconsultation acceptance in Malaysian government hospitals. In respect to theoretical development and future work, the categories that were generated from these studies may be used for the testability and development of demographics measures in exploring acceptance and adoption of technology in health care environment. 

Segmentation and Classification of Jaw Bone CT images using Curvelet based Texture features

The evaluation of jaw bone trabecular structure and quality could be useful for characterization and response of the bone for dental implants. Current clinical methods for assessment of bone quality at the implant sites largely depend on assessing bone mineral density using Dual energy X-ray absorptionometry. However, this does not provide any information about bone structure which is considered to be an equally important factor in assessing bone quality. This paper presents a novel approach for computer analysis of trabecular (or cancellous) bone structure using multiresolution based texture analysis to evaluate changes taking place in the architecture of bone with age and gender. The findings are compared with Hounsfield Units measured from the CT machine at different sites, which is a standard reference. Fifty patients were subjected to clinical CT to obtain the CT number and texture based architectural parameters respectively. In each site texture features were extracted using gray level co-occurrence matrices (GLCM), Run length matrices, Histogram and curvelet based statistical & co occurrence analysis. A very difficult problem in classification techniques is the choice of features to distinguish between classes. However the performance of any classifier is not optimized when all features are used. The feature optimization problem is addressed using Principle component analysis in terms of the best recognition rate and the optimal number of features. Testing this on a series of 120 image sections of trabecular bone with normal, partial and total edentulous patients correctly classified over 90% of the porous bone group with an overall accuracy of 87.8%-95.2%. The results shows that by using the Classification & Regression Tree approach the combination of the features from gray level and Ist order statistics achieved overall classification accuracy in the range of 87.8- 90.24%. Features selected from the curvelet based co occurrence matrix performed better with overall classification accuracy of 92.89%. In order to increase the success rate the classification is done using the combination of curvelet statistical features and curvelet co occurrence features as feature vector and using this, a mean success rate of 95.2% is obtained.

A New Guideline for Using Erythromycin in Management of Childhood Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome

Cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) is a functional disorder without any determined cause, though some motility disorders are considered in stream of this syndrome. There is no clear treatment for CVS and all treatments are borrowed from treatment of other similar diseases such as migraine. Clinical practice guideline instructs the pediatricians and pediatric gastroenterologists for treatment of CVS in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Since there is no practical guideline for the empirical management of CVS, this guideline was prepared for framing the treatments in a scientific and simple way for this disorder.
Structure of evolved cluster-forming regions

Context. An approach towards understanding the formation of massive stars and star clusters is to study the structure of their hot core phase, an evolutionary stage where dust has been heated, but molecules have not yet been destroyed by ultraviolet radiation. These hot molecular cores are very line-rich, but the interpretation of line surveys is also hampered by poor knowledge of the physical and chemical structure. Aims. To constrain the radial structure of high-mass star-forming regions containing hot cores, we attempt to reproduce by radiative transfer modeling both the intensity and shape of a variety of molecular lines. Methods. We observed 12 hot cores with the Atacama Pathfinder EXperiment (APEX) in lines of HCN, HCO + , CO, and their isotopologues, including high-J lines and vibrationally excited HCN. We investigate how well the sources can be modeled as centrally heated spheres with a power-law density gradient, making use of the radiative transfer code RATRAN and the radial profile of the submm continuum emission, taken from the APEX Telescope Large Area Survey of the GALaxy (ATLASGAL). Results. Most of the observed lines have complicated shapes that incorporate self-absorption, asymmetries, and line wings. Vibrationally excited HCN is detected in all sources, and vibrationally excited H 13 CN in half of the sources. We are able to successfully model most features seen in the APEX data, such as the ratio of the isotopologue lines (very high optical depths), self-absorption (temperature gradient), blue asymmetries (moderate infall), vibrationally excited HCN (high inner temperatures), and H 13 CN (high HCN abundance under dense and hot conditions). Other features could not be reproduced, such as an occasional lack of self-absorption, the emission from high-J lines in the outer pixels of the CHAMP+ receiver (15"-20" from the center), the outflow wings, and the red asymmetric profiles. Conclusions. The amount of molecular gas, in particular of HCN, at very high temperatures is larger than previously thought. A complex interplay between infall and outflow motions is present. Our basic model assumptions of pure central heating and a power-law radial density distribution can serve as approximations for most sources, but are too simple to explain all observed lines. In particular, taking into account clumpiness, multiplicity of heating sources and a more complex velocity field seems to be necessary to more closely match model calculations to observations. This would require three-dimensional radiative transfer modeling of high-resolution interferometric data.
State of R in Hydrological Modelling

Access to clean and safe water is a human right and to grant it under a sustainable development point of view is paramount for well being of the future generations. Therefore, it is important to understand the interaction between the material flows to coastal waters that are constrained by catchment boundaries and the human activities therein, and those materials that are tied to trade and other trans-boundary processes (e.g. residence time, transport and fate of physical, chemical and microbiological water-quality determinants) and their global implications on preserving the quality of the natural environment.

Morphological characterization of Ampelomyces spp., a hyperparasite of Bhendi (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench) powdery mildew

Ampelomyces is a naturally occurring hyperparasite on powdery mildews. Survey was conducted in major bhendi (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench) growing districts of Tamil Nadu during June 2014 to assess the incidence of powdery mildew and to collect different isolates of Ampelomyces spp. The results of the survey revealed that the disease incidence ranged from 15.54 to 63.45 %. Ten isolates of Ampelomyces spp. were collect-ed from surveyed areas of powdery mildew. Isolation of Ampelomyces spp. was done from powdery mildew infected bhendi leaf parasitized by Ampelomyces spp. using tissue segment method. All the isolates were identified by their morphological characters. The colour of the colonies in various medium was brownish black to greenish white. Most of the isolates showed radial and fluffy growth pattern with raised growth. The pycnidia of different isolates of Ampelomyces varied in their shape and were mostly ovoid, ellipsoid, cylindrical, pyriform to globose in shape. The size of pycnidia varied from 29.2-72.5A—22.4-43.1 I¼m. The number of pycnidia was found to be more in isolates viz., TNAU-AQ101 and TNAU-AQ103. Pycnidiospores are hyaline, unicellular and guttulate in shape. The pycnidial production was higher in TNAU-AQ101 and TNAU-AQ103. Application of agrochemicals is one of the oldest and most effective methods to manage powdery mildew disease. However, incessant use of these agrochemicals has many demerits such as development of resistance to pathogens, residual toxicity and environmental pollution. Hence, search for an alternative means for disease management is envisaged. The genus Ampelomyces are the major antagonists as an alternative of Erysiphales fungi being a significant group of phytopathogens.
EMERGING MYTHS AND REALITIES IN TEACHING AND LEARNING

One of the key points in Late President Yar’adua’s 7- point agenda is the accomplishment of qualitative and functional Education. This can be monitored through assessing academic achievement of students. Chemistry Education occupies a central position to all disciplines. This study examined the correlates between age and gender on academic achievement (CGPA) of Chemistry students. The study used thirty six (36) females and forty (40) males giving a total of sample seventy eight (76). Scatter – plot, mean and standard deviation were used for the descriptive statistics while univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multiple regression were used for inferential statistics. T-test was used to test the null hypothesis formulated (P<0.05). Result revealed a linear relationship between, age-CGPA and gender-CGPA.A low positive correlation coefficients was obtained for ages and gender (r=0.006 and 0.105) which were not significant. The predictor variables jointly accounted for 1.1% of the variance, age was the better predictor. The null hypothesis tested was accepted implying no significant difference in academic achievements of students. It was suggested that some more variables be included so as to determine significant correlation of students’ academic achievement of Chemistry students.
Soluble and cell wall bound peroxidase activities are markers of flower bud development stages in lemon (Citrus limon L.).

Specific activities of H2O2 scavenging enzymes, soluble peroxidase (G-POD), catalase (CAT) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and cell wall bound (CWB) G-POD, have been characterized in flower buds and leaves in potted lemon trees (Citrus limon L. Burm.) growing in a glasshouse in Tunisia. In leaves during the winter rest period (from September to December), enzyme activities did not change markedly. Then, leaf G-POD (soluble and CWB activity) increased 4-5 fold in January as the buds reached dormancy release. In growing buds, the activities of the three enzymes increased strongly (10to 100-fold) between dormancy and full bloom and decreased slightly (3-fold) post-bloom (beginning of fruit-set). Along the shoots, the developmental stages of flower buds advanced from node 1 to node 5. G-POD activity increased from the shoot apex toward the base of the twig in both leaves and buds. A similar trend was observed for APX and CAT but their activities tended to decrease slightly farther from the apex. Retardation of flowering by application of growth regulators strongly reduced leaf-specific activities of the H2O2 scavenging enzymes. Therefore, G-POD activity (and to a lesser extent APX and CAT) appears to be a good marker of flower formation in lemon (from bud swelling to full bloom). The results also suggest a link between H2O2 production and flower bud development.

A U-SHAPED MEANDERED SLOT ANTENNA FOR BIOMEDICAL APPLICATIONS

In this paper, a U-shaped microstrip patch antenna with meandered slots is presented. It is designed for biomedical applications to operate at 2.45 GHz. Based on the simulation experience, two designs of the patch are introduced with and without use of meandered slots. The comparative study between these two is also demonstrated. It is observed that the antenna with meandered slots shows good performance with sufficient bandwidth, low losses and is capable of use in biomedical applications. Furthermore, the proposed antenna has small size of 35∗29∗1.6 mm3, and the size of the ground is only 14% of the overall antenna size. The measured and simulated results show good agreement with each other. The antenna is fabricated on an FR4 substrate, and simulation is carried out on FDTD based Empire XCcel simulator.
Rethink Of Diabetes Treatment and Drug Development

Diabetes Mellitus is a modern epidemics and refractory disease caused by overeating or insulin-related pathogenesis. However, treatment for diabetes mellitus is no easy task. There are many problems facing diabetes mellitus therapy; Insulin or its peptide derivatives need needle injection every day, which lead to treatment inconvenience and burdens for patients; Disease complications, such as cardiovascular symptoms, eye impairment or kidney failure are even fatal for some of patients; Drug toxicities owing to long-term utilization of chemical drugs are equally harmful for patients. In this editorial, we will offer some new ideas for building diabetes mellitus treatment systems, drug design and development pipelines and possible future directions are given and highlighted.
Electra scuticifera sp. nov.: Redescription of Electra pilosa from New Zealand as a new species (Bryozoa, Cheilostomata)

A new species of the genus Electra is described from the Indo-West Pacific. Electra scuticifera sp. nov., a common bryozoan on coasts of New Zealand, was until now regarded as conspecific to the Atlantic species Electra pilosa . Morphologic and morphometric comparisons between E. pilosa the New Zealand bryozoan revealed differences in morphology of colonies and zooids, sizes of zooids and thickness of spines. Phylogenetic relationships, evolution, geography, and ecology of the new species are briefly discussed.
A Fast Converged Solution for Power Allocation of OFDMA System

In this paper, we propose a fast adaptive power allocation method for an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) system that employs an adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) scheme. The proposed scheme aims to reduce the calculation complexity of greedy adaptive power allocation (APA), which is known as the optimal algorithm for maximizing the utility argument of power. Unlike greedy APA, which starts power allocation from "0", the proposed algorithm initially allocates a certain level of power determined by the water-filling scheme. We theoretically demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has almost the same capability of maximizing the utility argument as the greedy APA while reducing the number of operations by 2M, where M is the number of AMC levels.
Survival Analysis with PHREG: Using MI and MIANALYZE to Accommodate Missing Data

Survival analyses based on a data collection process which the researcher has little control over are often plagued by problems of missing data. Deleting cases with any missing data will result in information loss and usually results in bias, while many analytic procedures that retain this information in some form underestimate the resulting uncertainty in parameter estimates and other output. SAS ® Version 8 includes two new procedures that allow the researcher to generate "complete" data sets from incomplete data by multiple imputation and to analyze the resulting data in ways which adequately account for the uncertainty involved. This paper presents suggestions for optimal use of PROC MI to perform such multiple imputation and PROC MIANALYZE to conduct various statistical analyses of modeling output, in this case from PROC PHREG, including design of control macros, structure of multiply imputed datasets, generation of binary from non-binary categorical variables, and options for presentation of results.
Influence of Tropical Pacific El Nino on the SST of the Southern Ocean through atmospheric bridge

El Nino is a major interannual climate signal resulting from complex ocean-atmosphere interactions in the Tropical Pacific. Its impact on the SST (Sea Surface Temperature) of the Southern Ocean through an atmospheric bridge are investigated with an atmospheric general circulation model coupled to a slab mixed-layer ocean. Simulated results suggest that SST changes in the midand high-latitude oceans and the Tropical Indian Ocean can be explained by modifications of heat-flux exchange at the air-sea interface. For the Tropical Atlantic, however, the discrepancy is large, indicating that the oceans dynamics are not negligible.
Timing Decisions in a Multinational Context: Implementing the Amin/Bodurtha Framework

The Amin/Bodurtha framework was developed for the valuation of American-style financial instruments driven by three sources of uncertainty— domestic interest rate risk, foreign interest rate risk and exchange rate risk. The model is not only appropriate for pricing a number of financial derivatives, but also, as we show, for valuing foreign investment projects in the presence of real options. In this paper we propose the most natural directly implementable specification within the Amin/Bodurtha framework that permits all combinations of up and down moves of these three risk factors without restricting volatility functions of the factors or correlations between them. By use of the depth-first algorithm, we can show that this specification is implementable at reasonable computation times
