Weld Inspection Based on Radiography Image Segmentation with Level Set Active Contour Guided Off-Center Saliency Map

Radiography is one of the most used techniques in weld defect inspection. Weld defect detection becomes a complex task when uneven illumination and low contrast characterize radiographic images. In this paper we propose a new active contour based level set method for weld defect detection in radiography images. An off-center saliency map exploited as a feature to represent image pixels is embedded into a region energy minimization function to guide the level set active contour to defects boundaries. The aim behind using salient feature is that a small defect can frequently attract attention of human eyes which permits enhancing defects in low contrasted image. Experiment results on different weld radiographic images with various kinds of defects show robustness and good performance of the proposed approach comparing with other segmentation methods.
Image Processing and SVM Application for Microscopic Counting and Size Measuring of Staphylococci

Microscopic count and size measurement of bacteria are necessary for microbiological work. Staphylococci are one of the most frequently found bacteria in food industry and hospitals. However, an expert is needed for such count. He needs to perform at least 10 visual counts, which cause eye strain and are time consuming. This research proposes the developed software, namely Micros-Staph, to aid in the microscopic count of these bacteria as well as the size measurement of the individual cell using extracted features from image processing techniques. These features are used to train Support Vector Machine (SVM) to differentiate the bacterial colony from noises in the images. Therefore, the number of colony can be easily counted. The cell size is obtained by comparing the number of pixels on the stage micrometer with the cell bounding box at the smallest area found after angle rotation. The experimental results show that the extracted features can be used to count the number of colony effectively. The number of colony counted by SVM provides a linear relationship with those counted by the experts at the correlation value (r 2 ) of 0.99 and 0.98 for the images captured with 400 and 1,000 times of magnification, respectively. Additionally, the time of microscopic count spent by the Micros-Staph software is reduced by more than half. The cell size measured by the software is 0.5 – 0.9 μm in diameter which is absolutely correlated to the actual cell size of staphylococci.

Dynamic Annotation by Web Database SearchResults

The Internet provides a great extent of beneficial knowledge which is usually formatted for its users, which makes it troublesome to extract relevant data from diverse sources. The World Wide Web plays an major role as all kinds of information repository and has been very success full in disseminating information to users. For the encoded data units to be machine process able, which is essential for many applications such as deep web data collection and internet comparison shopping, they need to be extracted out and allot meaningful labels. Search result presents an automatic annotation approach that first aligns the data units on a result page into different groups such that the data in the same group have the same semantic. Then for each group annotate it from different aspects and aggregate the different annotations to predict a final annotation label for it. An annotation wrapper for the search site is automatically constructed and can be used to annotate new results from the same wed database. Proposed system is to make the system dynamic by outlier detection technique.
Identification of key proteins and lncRNAs in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy by integrated network analysis

Introduction Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a genetically heterogeneous disorder of cardiac myocytes, is one of the main causes of sudden cardiac death of young people. However, the molecular mechanism involved in HCM has remained largely unclear. Of note, non-coding RNAs were reported to play an important role in human diseases. In this study, we focused on identifying differentially expressed long non-coding RNA (lncRNAs) and mRNAs in HCM by analyzing a public dataset (GSE36961). Material and methods We performed bioinformatics analysis to explore key pathways underlying HCM progression. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis was first performed to evaluate the potential roles of differentially expressed genes and lncRNAs in HCM. Moreover, protein–protein interaction (PPI) networks were constructed to reveal interactions among differentially expressed proteins. Specifically, co-expression networks were also constructed to identify hub lncRNAs in HCM. Results A total of 6147 mRNAs (p < 0.001) and 126 lncRNAs (p < 0.001) were found to be dysregulated in HCM. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis showed that these differentially expressed genes and lncRNAs were associated with metabolism, energy pathways, signal transduction, and cell communication. Moreover, TSPYL3, LOC401431, LOC158376, LOC606724, PDIA3P and LOH3CR2A (p < 0.001) were identified as key lncRNAs in HCM progression. Conclusions Taken together, our analysis revealed a series of lncRNAs and mRNAs that were differentially expressed in HCM and which were involved in HCM progression by regulating pathways, such as metabolism, energy pathways, signal transduction, and cell communication. This study will provide useful information to explore the mechanisms underlying HCM progression and to provide potential candidate biomarkers for diagnosis in HCM.
Simulation fine d'optique adaptative à très grand champ pour des grands et futurs très grands télescopes

La simulation fine de systemes d'OA a grand champ de type MOAO ou LTAO pour l'ELT se heurte a deux problematiques: l'augmentation du nombre de degres de liberte du systeme. Cette augmentation rend les codes de simulation classiques peu utilisables, en particulier en ce qui concerne les processus d'inversion et de calcul matriciel. La complexite des systemes, combinant EGL et EGN, grands miroirs deformables couvrant tout le champs et des miroirs dedies dans les instruments eux memes, des rotations differentielles de pupille et ou de champs. Cette complexite conduit aux developpements de procedures nouvelles d'etalonnage, de filtrage et fusion de donnees, de commande distribuee ou globale. Ces procedures doivent etre simulees finement, comparees et quantifiees en termes de performances, avant d'etre implantees dans de futurs systemes. Pour repondre a ces deux besoins, le LAM developpe en collaboration avec l'ONERA un code de simulation complet, base sur une approche de resolution iterative de systemes lineaires a grand nombre de parametres (matrices creuses). Sur cette base, il incorpore de nouveaux concepts de filtrage et de fusion de donnees pour gerer efficacement les modes de tip/tilt/defocus dans le processus complet de reconstruction tomographique. Il permettra aussi, de developper et tester des lois de commandes complexes ayant a gerer un la combinaison du telescope adaptatif et d'instrument post-focaux comportant eux aussi des miroirs deformables dedies.La premiere application de cet outil se fait naturellement dans le cadre du projet EAGLE, un des instruments phares du futur E-ELT, qui, du point de vue de l'OA combinera l'ensemble de ces problematiques.
Economic Incentives and Labour Market Transitions of the Aged Finnish Workforce

This PhD thesis is a collection of studies on retirement in Finland. The main purpose is to assess labour market transitions of the aged and focus on the e.ect of the economic incentives. All of the studies are empirical and use large micro panels. The first study describes the main features of the pension system, and tests whether economic incentives have an e.ect on how long individuals stay at work. The second study takes a deeper focus on disability and unemployment, and analyses the e.ect of the disability application rejections. The third study assesses part-time retirements. Financial incentives for full-time work, part-time pension and full-time pension are compared, and estimates are provided for the most likely labour market choice in case the part-time pension is not available. The fourth study considers the e.ect of the incentives to the firm to displace their elderly workers.
Seasonality of snow accumulation at Mount Wrangell, Alaska, USA

Abstract We recorded the burial times of temperature sensors mounted on a specially constructed tower to determine snow accumulation during individual storms in the summit caldera of Mount Wrangell, Alaska, USA, (62° N, 144° W; 4100 m a.s.l.) during the accumulation year June 2005 to June 2006. The experiment showed most of the accumulation occurred in episodic large storms, and half of the total accumulation was delivered in late summer. The timing of individual events correlated well with storms recorded upwind, at Cordova, the closest Pacific coastal weather station (200 km south-southeast), although the magnitude of events showed only poor correlation. Hence, snow accumulation at Mount Wrangell appears to be a reflection of synoptic-scale regional weather systems. The accumulation at Mount Wrangell’s summit (>2.5 m w.e.) exceeded the precipitation at Cordova. Although the direct relationship between accumulation of individual storms at the summit of Mount Wrangell and precipitation events at Cordova may be unique in the region, it is useful for interpreting ice cores obtained on Mount Wrangell. This is especially the case here because the high rate of accumulation allows high time resolution within the core.
Vegetative compatibility groups of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense

Vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs) of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense (FOC) were investigated by collecting 117 isolates from banana plantations in 25 provinces in five parts of Thailand and nit mutants were regenerated and identified for each isolate. VCGs were assessed on the basis of heterokaryon formation between nit1 and NitM of different isolates paired on specific nutrient media in complementary tests. The ability of heterokaryon formation among isolates and VCGs testers was evaluated and the existing physiological races were also discussed. The results indicated that almost 117 isolates of FOC were identified from the Klaui Namwa cultivar and they were classified to 6 VCGs: VCG 0123, VCG 0124, VCG 0125, VCG 0124/0125, VCG 01218 and VCG 01221. VCG 0123 represented the predominant population of FOC in Thailand with 76.0% of total isolates found in all parts of Thailand. VCG 01221 showed the lowest FOC population with 1.7% of total isolates. VCG 0124/0125 was classified as a cross compatible group to which some isolates in VCG 0124 and VCG 0125 were closely related and divided into subgroups. On the basis of pathogenic ability on banana genomics, the FOC race in Thailand was classified to be race 2 and it was less virulent than others worldwide. In this study, the FOC population of Thailand was the primative population and exhibited specific pathogens on one cultivar of banana—namely, Klaui Namwa (ABB genome).
Continuum Models of Collective Migration in Living Tissues

This dissertation investigates the physical mechanics of collective cell migration in monolayers of epithelial cells. Coordinated cell motion underlies a number of biological processes, including wound healing, morphogenesis and cancer metastasis, and is controlled by the interplay of single cell motility, cell-cell adhesions, cell-substrate interaction, and cell contractility modulated by the acto-myosin cytoskeleton. Here we examine the competing roles of these mechanisms via a continuum model of a tissue as an active elastic medium, where mechanical deformations are coupled to and feed back onto chemical signaling. We begin in Chapter 1 with a brief review of cell migration at both the single-cell and many-cell levels, and of the experimental tools used to probe the mechanical properties of cells and tissues. In Chapter 2 we formulate our minimal continuum model of a tissue as an overdamped active elastic medium on a frictional substrate. The model couples mechanical deformations in the tissue to myosin-based contractile activity and to cell polarization. Two new ingredients of our model are: (i) a feedback between the on-off dynamics of myosin motors and the active contractile stresses they induce in the tissue, and (ii) the coupling of cell directed motion or polarization to tissue strain. In the following two chapters we employ this model to describe collective cell dynamics in expanding (Chapter 3) and confined (Chapter 4) tissues and compare with experiments. In expanding monolayers, as realized for instance in wound healing assays where an initially confined tissue is allowed to expand freely on a substrate, our model reproduces the propagating waves of mechanical stress observed in experiments and believed to play a key role in controlling the transmission of information across the tissue and mediating coordinated cell motion. Combining analytical and numerical work we construct a phase diagram that identifies various dynamical regimes in terms of single-cell properties, such as contractility and stiffness. In Chapter 4, we use our model to describe collective dynamics of cells confined to a circular geometry. In this case the propagating waves are replaced by standing sloshing waves guided by both contractility and polarization. The work on confined tissues was carried out in collaboration with the experimental group of Jeff Fredberg at the Harvard School of Public Health. By combining theory and experiment we can provide a quantitative understanding of how contractility and polarization regulate the mechanics of the tissue by renormalizing the tissue elastic moduli and controlling the frequency of oscillatory modes.

How to assess children’s virtue literacy: methodological lessons learnt from the Knightly Virtues programme

Abstract Character education is of growing importance in educational discourse. The Knightly Virtues programme draws on selected classic stories to teach eight moral virtues to nine- to 11-year-olds; it has proved to be hugely popular with UK schools. A finding of the trial was the different levels of ‘virtue literacy’ in faith and non-faith schools. This article outlines the key features of this trial which yielded the positive results and details its methodological strengths and potential shortcomings. Overall, statistical concerns are less problematic than the practical concerns of running trials designed to measure the impact of character education interventions. Of greatest theoretical interest is the conflation of general and virtue-specific literacy; in addition, we tease apart differences in understanding and motivation. The article highlights and discusses the challenges of running trials designed to measure character education, as well as providing insights into promising methodological approaches.
Loss of quantum coherence due to nonstationary glass fluctuations

Low-temperature dynamics of insulating glasses is dominated by a macroscopic concentration of tunneling two-level systems (TTLS). The distribution of the switching/relaxation rates of TTLS is exponentially broad, which results in a nonequilibrium state of the glass at arbitrarily long time scales. Due to the electric dipolar nature, the switching TTLS generate fluctuating electromagnetic fields. We study the effect of the nonthermal slow fluctuators on the dephasing of a solid-state qubit. We find that at low enough temperatures nonstationary contribution can dominate the stationary (thermal) one, and we discuss how this effect can be minimized.
Performance of finisher broiler chickens fed maggot meal as a replacement for fish meal.

A 35-day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the performance of finisher broiler chickens fed maggot meal as a replacement for fish meal. Maggot meal was analysed to contain 44.44% CP, 1.84% CF, 9.76%EE, 14.29%Ash, 16.81%NFE, 0.03%Ca and 0.05%P. Five diets were formulated such that maggot replaced fish meal at 0, 20, 30, 40 and 50%. The chicken fed the control diet consumed less feed (P 0.05) to those fed 40 and 50% maggot meal. The chicken fed maggot meal diets has superior feed conversion ratio than those fed the control diet. The cost of diets decreased with increased level of maggot meal. A kilogram live weight of the birds fed 50% dietary maggot meal was 34.22% cheaper than those fed the control diet. Dressing percentage was similar (P>0.05) for chicken fed the control (0%), 30, 40 and 50% maggot meal. The weight of the heart significantly (P 0.05) differences. Weight of gizzard was significantly (P<0.05) increased by dietary maggot meal. Inguinal fat deposit was significantly (P<0.05) promoted by dietary maggot meal, especially at the 30% and 40%. The replacement of a 4.00% dietary fish meal in finisher broiler chicken’s diet with 50% maggot meal showed superior performance characteristics to the basal diet, and also proved to be a more economical option.
Arrangement for vertical angle calibration of geodetic instruments

Many opto-electronic digital instruments, such as rotary encoders, theodolites, total stations, laser trackers, etc. are used in machine engineering and instrumentation, geodesy, surveying, robotics and other branches of indus-try. Most of optical - electronic geodetic measuring in-struments consist, among the other elements, of the circu-lar scales and angular transducers for angle determination in two perpendicular planes – horizontal and vertical. Ac-curacy of the instrument mostly depends on the accuracy of these means for angle measurement. Metrology of the angular transducers including the raster scales has some specific features and needs the specific arrangements for its calibration. Here we present a review and some simple means and methods that can be used in the angle meas-urement metrology, especially for vertical plane angle calibration.
BIOCHEMICAL AND MOLECULAR GENETICS DISTINCTION AMONG SHEEP POX VIRUS STRAINS

This study was planned to investigate SPV strains in order to choose the most suitable strains for vaccine production which will give e a good immune response for controlling the circulating virus in Egypt. For this purpose, the following experiments were done: propagation of ESPV strain on Vero cell for 18 passages, RSPV strain for 8 passages and KSPV strain for 13 passages the CPE was clear and completed after (5, 5 and 6) DPI for Egyptian, Romanian and Kenyan strains respectively. Titrations of SPV strains were 5.5, 5.2 and 6.3 TCID 50/ml for Egyptian, Romanian and Kenyan SPV strains, respectively. Concentration of virus to 1/10 from its size to prepare antigen of SPV to each strain. Hyper immune serum was used in western blot as a polyclonal antibody which reacts with nitrocellulose membrane. Sodium dodcyl sulphate-poly acrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed that there are similarity in molecular weight between Egyptian and Romanian strains were estimated by comparing their electrophoreses mobilities with those of known standard molecular weight marker after electrophoresis in the same gel following staining by coomassie blue stain the M.W of Egyptian and Romanian strains (172, 155, 128, 91, 72, 52, 40, 30, 29, 17, 15, and 13 kDa). But there are differentiating between them and Kenyan strain which M.W is (130, 50, 40, and15 kDa). Western blotting technique from this test concluded that there is relationship in immune response between Egyptian. Romanian which immunogenic protein fractions were ESPV and RSPV (67, 34, 32, 26) kDa KSPV (100, 75, 67, 49 kDa). From this result the RSPV is a best strain for vaccine production which gives high immune response for sheep pox. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) revealed that no difference between three strains which have a similar positive reaction from these results we conclude that RSPV have close relation ship with ESPV
