Multimodal Marketing Intent Analysis for Effective Targeted Advertising

People’s daily information sharing and acquisition through the Internet has become more and more popular. The comprehensive multimodal marketing advertorial generated by ‘We Media’ accounts besides the normal social news is gaining its importance on social media platforms. In order to achieve effective advertising, the marketing intent understanding is a key step towards generating targeted advertising strategies (push advertorials to specific people at a specific time). However, advertorials in real are usually designed to pretend as normal social news with a wide range of contents. This poses big challenges to the platforms on accurately recognizing and analyzing the marketing intents behind the advertorials. As a pioneering study, we address this new problem of multimodal-based marketing intent analysis and answer three core questions: (1) does a piece of social news contain marketing intent? (2) what is the topic of marketing intent? (3) what is the extent of marketing intent? Towards this end, we propose a novel Multimodal-based Marketing Intent Analysis scheme (MMIA) to estimate the marketing intent embedded in the multimodal contents. Specifically, a novel supervised neural autoregressive model (SmiDocNADE) is proposed to enhance the discriminative capacity of the learned hidden features so that a single system is capable of solving the three questions. In order to effectively model inter-correlations between images and text in advertorials, we fuse multimodal data and extract features by Graph Convolution Networks as an enhancement to SmiDocNADE. The extensive evaluations demonstrate the advantages of our proposed system in multimodal-based marketing intent analysis from multiple aspects.

Process of Implementation of International Financial Standards (IFRS)

This paper is concerned with the implementation of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in the Czech Republic. It was written as a reaction to constantly increasing number of businesses implementing IFRS. In order to ascertain the methods selected by such companies for IFRS implementation, I carried out my own research based on semi-structured interviews. The aim of this research was to determine the individual stages of implementation, which would be helpful for business anticipating IFRS implementation. Generalization of the individual interviews revealed that the process of IFRS implementation may be divided into four stages: project preparation, opening stage, trial operation and adaptation operation. The most important thing in the initial stage is to create a project plan. The opening stage contains preparation of the areas affected by the implementation and the changes in the information system; the output of this stage consists in draft statements or a financial statement. In the third stage, trial operation is launched and tested and errors are eliminated; the result is an opening balance sheet. The final stage of adaptation operation includes inspection, evaluation and corrections of possible errors. IAS/IFRS implementation is a multi-stage process, which is time-consuming and demanding in terms of qualified staff and funds.

The method has the detection limit of 12.9 pg Se, which was determined with 100 ml samples. The method was verified using the standard reference material - SeronormTM Trace Element Serum, NYCOMED PHARMA AS, Norway. The median level of Se in the serum of healthy volunteers from Bratislava (Slovakia) was 83.6 mg.l-1). The median concentrations of Se in the serum of male donors were higher (85.7 mg.l-1) than in female donors of the similar age (80.1 mg.l-1).
Delft University of Technology Effect of processing on microstructural features and mechanical properties of a reduced activation ferritic/martensitic EUROFER steel grade

The microstructure of a 9Cr-1W-0.22V-0.09Ta-0.11C reduced activation ferritic/martensitic (RAFM) steel has been investigated after thermo-mechanical rolling with subsequent annealing for 30 min at temperatures of 880°C, 920°C, 980°C and 1050°C, followed by water quenching. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy investigations and electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) measurements were performed to determine the microstructural features after the different thermal treatments. Additionally, the microstructure and the mechanical properties of the materials were studied after tempering at 750°C for 2 hours. This study aims to understand microstructural processes that occur in the material during thermo-mechanical treatment and to assess the effect of the microstructure on its strength and toughness, with a view on improving its © 2017 Manuscript version made available under CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 license https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Link to formal publication Journal of Nuclear Materials (Elsevier): https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jnucmat. 2017.07. 001
Extremely Flexible Indium‐Gallium‐Zinc Oxide (IGZO) Based Electronic Devices Placed on an Ultrathin Poly(Methyl Methacrylate) (PMMA) Substrate

The flexibility of metal oxide‐based electronic devices is severely limited by the thickness of their substrate. To enhance the flexibility of semiconducting metal oxide‐based electronic devices, a new and simple way to fabricate indium‐gallium‐zinc oxide (IGZO)‐based electronic devices on an ultrathin (1.9 µm) poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) substrate is introduced. The PMMA layer spin‐coated on an unmodified glass slide has no chemical interactions at the interface, resulting in weak adhesion. Therefore, the PMMA layer with the devices is readily peeled off the underlying glass slide without using any sacrificial layer. Thin film transistors (TFTs) and gas sensors are fabricated on a 1.9 µm thick PMMA substrate. The fabricated bottom‐gated IGZO TFTs exhibits excellent transistor performances with a mobility of 10.7 cm2 V−1 s−1, a threshold voltage of 8.4 V and an on/off current ratio of 5 × 105. The PMMA substrate having palladium (Pd)‐decorated IGZO H2 sensors is attached to the nonplanar substrates such as wrinkled hand glove and poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) gas tubes, and the sensors demonstrate an excellent sensitivity of ≈106% at 5% H2 concentration at room temperature. Furthermore, both electronic devices show superior flexibility without any performance degradation even at a bending radius down to <1 mm.
SnSx (x = 1, 2) nanocrystals as effective catalysts for photoelectrochemical water splitting

Two-dimensional SnSx (x = 1, 2) nanocrystals are attractive catalysts for photoelectrochemical water splitting as their components are earth abundant and environmentally friendly. We have fabricated SnS thin-film photoelectrodes by spin coating mixed-phase SnS nanocrystals synthesized via a hot-injection technique on glass/Cr/Au substrates. The obtained SnS thin films can be transformed into SnS2 by introducing structural phase changes via a facile low-vacuum annealing protocol in the presence of sulfur. This sulfurization process enables the insertion of sulfur atoms between layers of SnS and results in the generation of shallow donors that alter the mechanism for water splitting. The SnS2 thin films are used as stable photocatalysts to drive the oxygen evolution reaction, and the light-current density of 0.195 mA/cm2 at 0.8 V vs. Ag/AgCl can be achieved due to the high carrier density, lower charge transfer resistance, and a suitable reaction band position. Based on a combination of UV-Vis spectroscopy (ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy), cyclic voltammetry and Mott–Schottky analysis, the band positions and band gaps of SnS and SnS2 relative to the electrolyte are determined and a detailed mechanism for water splitting is presented. Our results demonstrate the potential of layered tin sulfide compounds as promising photocatalysts for efficient and large-scale water splitting.
Phytosome: A Novel Approach to Enhance the Bioavailability of Phytoconstituent

Novel drug delivery systems have gained significant importance because of their enhanced bioavailability and overall therapeutics. Hydrophilic nature and unique chemical structure of most of the therapeutically useful phytoconstituents which result in poor bioavailability and less absorption. The water soluble phytoconstituents have excellent bioactivity in vitro, but less or no action in vivo. Phytosome technology can overcome this problem in which the phytoconstituent is allowed to react with phospholipid. The phytoconstituent with poor lipid solubility on complexation into phytosome, can exhibit better pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics profile as compared to conventional herbal extract. Phytoconstituent must have good hydrophilicity which helps in dissolution in gastrointestinal fluid and hydrophobicity which helps cross lipid-rich cell membrane. Phytosome technology results in an intermolecular bonding between phospholipid, phosphatidylcholine and a single molecule of phytoconstituent. Phosphatidylcholine used in phytosome technology has also proven its clinical efficacy by acting as a carrier for fat and water miscible nutrients and natural digestive aid. Phytosomes can be used to treat acute and chronic liver failure due to improved pharmacological and pharmacokinetic property. In market, many products based on phytosome technology are available which include herbal extracts and phytochemicals with great therapeutic potential such as curcumin, ginkgo biloba, grape seed, silymarin, and many more. The present review highlights the method of preparation, properties, advantages, characterization, and applications.
Reconstructing seawater carbonate chemistry using foraminiferal B/Ca

Planktonic B/Ca holds promise of reconstructing the surface seawater carbonate chemistry, which is linked to the past levels of atmospheric partial pressure of CO2. However, it is still not clear to what extent the carbonate chemistry control on planktonic B/Ca is complicated by physiological activities of foraminifera. In this thesis, the environmental controls on B/Ca in two planktonic foraminiferal species, Globigerinoides ruber (white) and Globigerinoides sacculifer (without final sac-like chamber), are examined using core-top samples from the Atlantic Ocean. For an accurate estimation of the ambient calcification environments, the calcification depths and seasonality of the studied species at these core-top locations are determined by planktonic Mg/Ca. The dissolution effect on B/Ca, which is evident from planktonic B/Ca data from three depth transects, proves to have little impact on the interpretation of planktonic B/Ca data from the Atlantic core-tops. While the carbonate chemistry control on planktonic B/Ca can be detected from these core-top data, a strong calcification rate control on planktonic B/Ca is demonstrated by the correlation between B/Ca and Sr/Ca, where Sr/Ca is employed as an indicator of the calcification rate. This calcification rate control on planktonic B/Ca complicates the direct link between planktonic B/Ca and seawater carbonate chemistry. Nevertheless, based on the different responses of B/Ca in the two studied species to the calcification rate, it is possible that B/Ca in some species are less susceptible to this influence, and thus can be employed for carbonate chemistry reconstructions. Benthic B/Ca is a recently developed quantitative proxy for deepwater carbonate ion concentration ([CO2− 3 ]). In this thesis, deepwater [CO 2− 3 ] variations during the last 150 thousand years are reconstructed using two cores from the deep Southwestern Pacific, a critical but not fully investigated region to regulate the carbon inventory in the deep ocean. Since Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5a, the deep the SW Pacific [CO2− 3 ] varied in concert with benthic carbon isotopes (δCb). These covariations, on the timescale of ∼10 kyr, are similar to those observed in the deep Atlantic. This suggests that the deep SW Pacific [CO2− 3 ] could be affected by changes in the Atlantic Overturning Circulation and the biological pump. However, the deep SW Pacific [CO2− 3 ] showed little change during Termination II (T II), despite that variations of δCb, neodymium isotopes (εNd), and foraminifer-bound nitrogen isotopes (δNpf) were similar to those during Termination I (T I). This difference is interpreted as the result of coral reef regrowth on continental shelves, which decreased the whole ocean [CO2− 3 ] and counteracted the [CO 2− 3 ] increase due to the influences from Atlantic Overturning Circulation and the biological pump changes during T II.
Influence of the methyl position on the binding of 5-epi-taiwaniaquinone G to HSA investigated by spectrofluorimetry and molecular modeling

The interactions between human serum albumin (HSA) and 5-epi-taiwaniaquinone G (G2) or its isomeride (G1) was investigated by fluorescence, UV–visible absorption, resonance light scattering, synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy and 3D spectroscopy under mimic physiological conditions in combination with molecular modeling. The results revealed that G1 and G2 caused the fluorescence quenching of HSA by the formation of G1-HSA and G2-HSA complex, respectively. The binding constants and thermodynamic parameters at three different temperatures were obtained. Hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions played a role in the binding process of HSA and G1. Van der Waals force and hydrogen bond interaction played a role in the binding process of HSA and G2. Results showed that G2 was the stronger quencher and the position of methyl influenced the binding process between HSA and G1 (G2).
Stenting with high-intensity focused ultrasound ablation for distal biliary obstruction caused by pancreatic carcinoma: a meta-analysis

Introduction Between 42% and 77% of patients with distal malignant biliary obstruction (MBO) suffer from pancreatic carcinoma (PC). Aim To analyse the clinical efficacy of stenting accompanied by high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation in patients with distal MBO from PC. Material and methods Relevant articles published through March 2021 were identified in the Pubmed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Wanfang, VIP, and CNKI databases. RevMan v5.3 and Stata v12.0 were used for the meta-analysis. Results Twenty-nine articles were initially identified, and 5 of these were eventually included. These articles described 142 patients who underwent biliary stenting alone and 132 patients who underwent biliary stenting with HIFU ablation. The pooled Δ total bilirubin (TBIL) values were comparable between the 2 treatment groups (p = 0.10). The pooled stent dysfunction rate was significantly greater in the group with stenting alone (p = 0.03), and the pooled HR for the stent patency duration indicated that the duration of stent patency was increased in the stenting with HIFU ablation group (p < 0.0001). Overall survival rates were significantly longer in the stenting with HIFU ablation group (p < 0.0001). HIFU ablation was associated with an 80% pooled clinical response rate. The pooled cholangitis (p = 0.47) and pancreatitis (p = 0.56) rates were comparable between the 2 groups. Funnel plots did not reveal any significant evidence of endpoint-associated publication bias. Conclusions Stenting with HIFU ablation increased both stent patency and overall survival in patients with distal MBO caused by PC compared to stenting alone.
Exploration of Planetary Skylights and Tunnels

While planetary pits and caves have been fiction for a century, they have been seen from orbit only in the last few years. These discoveries exceed the fantasies in diversity, scale, and abundance. For pits and caves, this is the age of discovery, ranging from a few pits on the Moon and Mars in 2009 to hundreds within the time of this research, with many more to come. Pits with subsurface voids have been confirmed on the Moon and Mars and indicated on Venus, Phobos, Eros, Gaspra, Ida, Enceladus, and Europa. Compelling next steps are surface and subsurface exploration.Pits and caves are opportunistic study targets for unique origins, geology, and climate that will broadly impact planetary science. Holes on Mars are of particular interest because their interior caves are relatively protected from the harsh surface, making them good candidates to contain Martian life. Pits are prime targets for possible future spacecraft, robots, and even human interplanetary explorers. Caves and caverns could be ready-_made shelters for future Moon and Mars explorers and colonists. Discoveries to date look down from on high with satellites but cannot reveal the wonders of caves. They cannot enter, touch, or view pits up close. Genuine exploration is only achievable through surface missions. Robotic missions can assess suitability for safe entry and habitation, plus inform techniques for developing subsurface infrastructure.Missions into planetary voids redefine the future of exploration, science, and habitation beyond Earth. We can reach this future only by targeting specific technological advancement now. Prior missions and current roadmap priorities target regions of benign terrain. While in-cave concepts have been postulated, the critical technologies have not been identified and demonstrated.While robotic exploration of skylights and caves can seek out life, investigate geology and origins, and open the subsurface of other worlds to humankind, it is a daunting venture. Planetary voids present perilous terrain requiring innovative technologies for access, exploration, and modeling. These same technologies are broadly applicable to explorations of rough and/or subsurface planetary environments, including caves, craters, cliffs, and rock fields. This research speculates on the possibilities and means of such exploration with fundamental contributions to exploring, modeling, and visualizing this new class of large-scale, highly three-dimensional concave planetary features.
Oscillatory Reversible Osmotic Growth of Sessile Saline Droplets on the Floating Polydimethylsiloxane Membrane

We report cyclic growth/retraction phenomena observed for saline droplets placed on the cured PDMS membrane with the thickness of 7.8±0.1 µm floating on pure water surface. Osmotic mass transport across the micro-scaled floating PDMS membrane provided the growth of the sessile saline droplets followed by evaporation of the saline droplets. The observed growth/retraction cycle was reversible. The model of the osmotic mass transfer across the cured PDMS membrane is suggested. The model explains semi-quantitatively the time evolution of a droplet.
Parker Solar Probe FIELDS Instrument Charging in the Near Sun Environment: Part 1: Computational Model

The Spacecraft Interaction Plasma Software package (SPIS), a three‐dimension particle in cell (PIC) code, was used to model the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) spacecraft and FIELDS instrument and their interactions with the Solar wind. Our SPIS modeling relied on material properties of new spacecraft materials that we had obtained in previous work. The model was used to find the floating potentials of the spacecraft and FIELDS antennas at different distances from the Sun (from 1AU to 0.046AU). We find the following results: At greater distances from the Sun, the shadowed spacecraft charges negatively while the illuminated Thermal Protection System (TPS) charges positive due to the high resistance of the TPS Alumina shield at low temperatures. As the spacecraft approaches the Sun, the temperature of the TPS increases, the resistance between it and the spacecraft drops, and its photoemission increases, driving the spacecraft more positive. At the same time, an electrostatic barrier forms near the illuminated surface of the TPS and reflects the photoelectrons back leading to negative charging of some surfaces. The FIELDS antennas and shield also see this barrier forming but on a smaller scale. The FIELDS antennas charge positively at all distances modeled when no current bias is applied. Current biasing of the antennas affects their floating potential.
Effects of Kinesthetic Imagery, Active and Combined Exercises on the Electromyographic Pattern of Hip Hyperextension and Tests of Relation with Lumbar Hyperlordosis

Abstract: Background: Mental exercise uses the same neuronal pathways involved in physical exercise to modify the pattern and function without the stress caused by physical exercise. This study investigated the effects of the three methods of kinesthetic imagery, active, and combined exercise (imagery and active) on the pattern of hip hyperextension and the strength of selected muscle of lumbo-pelvic in women with lumbar hyperlordosis. Method: In this semi-experimental study, 36 women with lumbar hyperlordosis (age: 34.47±3.79, height: 160.48±12.63, weight: 64.46±18.26) were sorted into three groups. The groups practiced three sessions per week for six weeks. The degree of lumbar lordosis using flexible ruler, electromyographic activity of the lumbo-pelvic muscles during hip hyperextension in the prone position using surface electromyogram, the strength of the gluteus maximus during hip hyperextention using dynamometer, the strength of abdominal muscles during lowering two legs test using goniometer, flexibility of hip flexor muscles during the Thomas test using goniometer, and flexibility of erector spine muscles during the Schober test using a meter were measured before and after the intervention. The Shapiro-Wilk test was used for normality of data, and the repeated measures variance test was used for the statistical analysis of data at a significance level of 0.05. Results: The results showed a significant difference between the three methods of kinesthetic imagery, active and combined (p -value = 0.001). There was a significant difference between the method of imagery exercise and the methods of active and combined exercise, but no significant difference was observed between the methods of active and combined exercise. Conclusion: Imagery exercises were effective in modifying the electromyographic activity of some lumbo-pelvic muscles (gluteus maximus and rectus femoris muscles); however, they did not have a significant effect on the strength, flexibility, or degree of lumbar lordosis. Combined exercise was as effective as active exercise in modifying the electromyographic activity of the lumbo-pelvic muscles, the strength of the abdominal and gluteus maximus muscles, and the flexibility of erector spine and hip flexor muscles.
