SHREC 2010 : robust feature detection and description benchmark

Feature-based approaches have recently become very popular in computer vision and image analysis applications, and are becoming a promising direction in shape retrieval. SHREC’10 robust feature detection and description benchmark simulates the feature detection and description stages of feature-based shape retrieval algorithms. The benchmark tests the performance of shape feature detectors and descriptors under a wide variety of transformations. The benchmark allows evaluating how algorithms cope with certain classes of transformations and strength of the transformations that can be dealt with. The present paper is a report of the SHREC’10 robust feature detection and description benchmark results.
Hybrid Method for Constrained Bayesian Optimization

In this article, we propose a hybrid Bayesian Optimization framework using an indicator function to solve constrained optimization problems eﬃciently. In our hybrid method, the revised acquisition function is used to eﬀectively guide the search that explores both the feasible and infeasible regions. We demonstrate the proposed method on ﬁve test problems, including two black-box problems, to evaluate the performance of our hybrid method and compare the results to hybrid methods based on Augmented Lagrangian and Log-barrier.
New Algorithm for Chunks Based Transfer and Image Rotation CAPTCHA Validation

In the case of the Wireless Sensor Networks, the two main issues which are required to be highlighted, first is the authentication of the nodes, that is nodes which are participating in the communication process, need to verify their identity. Sec-ondly, the data communications how we can save the nodes from get overloaded in the data communication process, when the communication channel is of low quality. The authentication password which we have generated with the combination of the photo based SHA-512 extract and the pattern generated using image CAPTCHA , are then tested with the various online tools for the examination of the strength of the pattern and simultaneously we test the patterns which are obtained from the base papers. The results are compared on the basis of the years required to crack the pattern as well as on the basis of entropy, and results shown that the proposed work perform better in all respects.
Brazilian food biodiversity: a richness invisible on our plates

Food biodiversity is essential for improving nutrition and reducing hunger in populations worldwide. However, the relationship between food availability and food consumption in middle and low-income countries is still controversial. We used Brazil, one of the world's megabiodiverse countries, as a case study to investigate the magnitude of biodiversity consumption in the diet of the entire population of the country. Here we show that food biodiversity was consumed by 1.3% of the population, varying according to socioeconomic aspects, such as race, sex and income. The consumption of unconventional food plants is an indicator of the risk for socioeconomic vulnerability among historically oppressed groups.
Probing the effect of uniaxial compression on cell migration

The chemical, physical and mechanical properties of the extra-cellular environment have a strong effect on cell migration. Aspects such as pore-size or stiffness of the matrix influence the selection of the mechanism used by cells to propel themselves, including pseudopod or blebbing. How a cell perceives its environment, and how such a cue triggers a change in behaviour are largely unknown, but mechanics is likely to be involved. Because mechanical conditions are often controlled by modifying the composition of the environment, separating chemical and physical contributions is difficult and requires multiple controls. Here we propose a simple method to impose a mechanical compression on individual cells without altering the composition of the gel. Live imaging during compression provides accurate information about the cell’s morphology and migratory phenotype. Using Dictyostelium as a model, we observe that a compression of the order of 500 Pa flattens the cells under gel by up to 50%. This uniaxial compression directly triggers a transition in the mode of migration, from primarily pseudopodial to bleb driven, in less than 30 sec. This novel device is therefore capable of influencing cell migration in real time and offers a convenient approach to systematically study mechanotransduction in confined environments.
Good-bootstrap: simultaneous confidence intervals for large alphabet distributions

Simultaneous conﬁdence intervals (SCI) for multinomial proportions are a corner stone in count data analysis and a key component in many applications. A variety of schemes were introduced over the years, mostly focusing on an asymptotic regime (where the sample is large), or a small sample regime, where the alphabet size is relatively small. In this work we introduce a new SCI framework which considers a large alphabet setup. Our proposed framework utilizes bootstrap sampling with the Good-Turing probability estimator as a plug-in distribution. We demonstrate the favorable performance of our proposed method in synthetic and real-world experiments. Importantly, we provide an exact analytical expression for the bootstraped statistic, which replaces the computationally costly sampling routine. Our proposed framework is publicly available at the ﬁrst author’s webpage.
Simultaneous meta-modeling for both input and output spaces for rapid design space exploration in structural shape optimization

Résumé — Engineering design problems generally involve a high-dimensional input space of design variables yielding an output space by means of costly high-ﬁdelity evaluations. In order to decrease the overall cost, reduced-order models for the output space such as Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) and proper Generalized Decomposition (PGD) are a promising area of research. However, little research has been conducted into alleviating the problems associated with a high-dimensional input space. In this paper, we present a simultaneous meta-modeling protocol for both spaces : reparametrization of the input space by constrained shape interpolation using the a -manifold of admissible shapes (ﬁnite element/CFD meshes, etc), and constrained Proper Orthogonal Decomposition for reducing the output space and apply the approach to two industrial shape optimization problems. Mots clés — Input space reduction, model reduction, design, diffuse approximation.
THE MODERATING ROLE OF SERVICE UTILIZATION BETWEEN NEWBORN MOTHERS FINANCIAL WORRIES AND DEPRESSION

The experience of pregnancy and childbirth is both an exciting and stressful time in a woman’s life. New mothers, particularly those experiencing depression, can experience difficulty handling life’s daily activities, including increases in financial stressors during pregnancy and after childbirth. Women are more likely to experience depression compared to men; and women of child-bearing age are even more at risk, regardless what their race or economic status is (Cadigan & Skinner, 2015). Moreover, financial worry occurs when a person has difficulty meeting basic needs including housing, food, health care, or having late and skipped bills. The United States provides a number of social services to support those in need, such as Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Cash Assistance, Housing Assistance and Head Start to name a few. However, a number of barriers interfere with participating in service utilization including job conflicts, transportation, environmental barriers, confusion about eligibility, dissatisfaction, stigma, embarrassment and lack of social support related to accepting government assistance (Panzera et al., 2017). The current study examines new mothers’ experiences with social service utilization, financial worries and concerns and maternal depression. The association be-tween psychological and social factors in the health outcomes of new mothers is explored using the psychosocial theoretical framework. This study utilizes data collected from The Baby’s First Years Project; a randomized control trial in the US designed to identify the impact of poverty reduction on children’s development. The sample included 1,050 low-income mother/infant dyads from four cities in America; New York
‘A spade was called a spade...it was not called a garden tool...’: Youth and intervention implementers’ perceptions of a resilience-based HIV prevention intervention for reducing risky sexual behaviors among youth in South Africa

Background: Youth (15-24 years) in South Africa remain at high risk of HIV infection despite interventional efforts to control the disease. Programs directed at promoting resilience or protective factors in youth have been recommended as a multifaceted approach to mitigate risky sexual behaviors associated with HIV infection among youth. However, limited research exists on how relevant stakeholders, such as youth and intervention implementers perceive resilience-based HIV prevention interventions targeting youth. This study explored youth and intervention implementers’ perceptions of a resilience-based HIV prevention intervention (You Only Live Once) aimed at reducing risky sexual behaviors among youth in South Africa. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 youth who participated in the intervention and four intervention implementers at a not-for-prot organization in Maluti-a-Phofung Local Municipality, South Africa. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: Three main themes emerged from the data: (1) Acceptability and impact of the intervention – the intervention was perceived as important and helpful in fostering positive behavior change among youth and enhancing their sexual health and social skills knowledge; self-condence; and relationships with parents and peers. (2) Factors in�uencing intervention implementation – participants reported several multi-level factors which impeded or promoted the implementation of the intervention. (3) Recommendations to improve intervention implementation – participants made suggestions on how intervention implementation could be enhanced. Conclusion: These �ndings provide insights into youth and intervention implementers’ perceptions about the acceptability, impact and barriers and facilitators of resilience-based HIV prevention interventions for youth in South Africa and similar contexts. The �ndings can help researchers, policy makers and healthcare practitioners in the �eld of HIV prevention to improve interventions targeting young people.
Cost-effectiveness analysis of a psychosocial web-based intervention for adolescents distressed by a visible difference: Results from a randomized controlled trial in Norway.

Adolescents with a visible difference to the face or body (e.g., due to a congenital condition, illness, or injury), may be at risk of elevated psychological distress. Young Person's Face IT (YPF), a web-based psychosocial intervention, has displayed effectiveness, but no previous study has specifically evaluated its cost-effectiveness. The aim of our study was to investigate whether YPF could be a cost-effective alternative for psychosocial support to adolescents distressed by a visible difference, relative to care-as-usual (CAU). Within the context of a randomized controlled trial in Norway, 102 participants (43% boys) were allocated to intervention (n = 55) or waiting list control group (n = 47). Mean age was 13.9 years (SD = 1.71; range 11-18), and all self-identified as experiencing distress related to a visible difference. Participants answered questionnaires including measures of health-related quality of life and social anxiety at baseline and 3-month follow-up. A health economic evaluation using the method of cost-utility analysis was performed, including quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs). Results indicated that the incremental cost-effectiveness of YPF was 63,641 Norwegian kroner per QALYs gained, which is well within the acceptability threshold in the Norwegian healthcare sector. Hence, YPF could potentially be considered a cost-effective intervention for adolescents experiencing distress related to a visible difference, but more research is needed that includes comparisons of YPF to other health- and societal resources and long-term follow-ups. Our study also constitutes an addition to research as, compared to interventions for somatic diseases, there is a lack of studies exploring the cost-effectiveness of psychological interventions.
Accuracy of Invisalign Progress Assessment with Clear Aligners: A Retrospective Study

Objective: The objective of this study was to detective the accuracy of model superimposition and automatic analysis for upper and lower dentition width in Invisalign Progress Assessment during the process of clear aligners. Methods 19 cases were included in this study. Pre-treatment dental cast(T0) and post-treatment dental cast after staged treatment(T1) were available for three-dimensional model superimposition. Subsequently, movements of maxillary teeth in horizontal plane (cross section) after staged treatment, width of upper and lower dentition were measured by three-dimensional model superimposition in real world and Invisalign Progress Assessment separately. Consequently, the data collected from these two methods was compared. Results In Invisalign Progress Assessment, movements of maxillary teeth in horizontal plane after staged treatment was 2.31（1.59,3.22 ） (median (upper quartile, lower quartile)) millimeter (mm), while in three-dimensional model superimposition, the result was 1.79（1.21,3.03）mm. The difference between two groups is significant(P＜0.05). Intercanine width upper, intermolar width upper, intercanine width lower, and intermolar width lower were 36.55±2.76mm, 56.98±2.62mm, 28.16±1.85mm, 53.21±2.72mm separately in Invisalign Progress Assessment and were 36.48±2.78mm, 56.89±2.58mm, 28.05±1.85mm, 53.16±2.64mm separately in three-dimensional model analysis, which were no significant difference among these groups (P＞0.05). Conclusions The data from Invisalign Progress Assessment was not in parallel with what achieved from model superimposition with palate as reference completely. The accuracy of model superimposition in Invisalign Progress Assessment needs further investigation, whereas the accuracy of model analysis in Invisalign Progress Assessment was accurate. Thereby, results from Invisalign Progress Assessment should be interpreted with caution by the orthodontist in clinic.
Numerical solutions of differential equations having cubic nonlinearity using Boole collocation method

: The aim of the study is to develop a numerical method for the solution of cubic nonlinear differential equations in which the numerical solution is based on Boole polynomials. That solution is in the form of the truncated series and gives approximate solution for nonlinear equations of cubic type. In this method, firstly, the matrix form of the serial solution is set and the nonlinear differential equation is converted into a matrix equation system. By adding the effect of both the conditions of the problem and the collocation points to this system of equations, we obtain the new system of equations. The coeﬀicients of Boole-based serial solution are obtained from the solution of the resulting system of equations. The theoretical part is reinforced by considering three test problems. Numerical data for Boole solutions of test problems and absolute error functions are given in tables and figures.
Kubernetes and the Edge?

: Cloud Computing infrastructures have highlighted the importance of container orchestration software to manage the life cycle of distributed applications. With the advent of Edge Computing era, DevOps expect to ﬁnd features that made the success of containerized applications in the cloud, also at the edge. However, orchestration systems have not been designed to deal with resources geo-distribution aspects such as latency, intermittent networks, locality-awareness, etc. In other words, it is unclear whether they could be directly used on top of such massively distributed infrastructures or whether they must be revised. In this paper, we provide reﬂections regarding Kubernetes, the well-known container orchestration platform. More precisely, we provide two contributions. First, we discuss results we obtained during an experimental campaign we made to analyze the impact of WAN links on the vanilla Kubernetes. Second, we analyze ongoing initiatives that propose to revise part of the Kubernetes design to better address geo-distribution aspects.
TOP CITED PAPERS IN INTERNATIONAL PSYCHOGERIATRICS: 6b. BEHAVIORAL DISORDERS AND CAREGIVERS' REACTION IN TAIWANESE PATIENTS WITH ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE

The behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) are common and serious problems that affect the quality of life of the patients who experience such symptoms as well as their caregivers (Matsui et al., 2006). BPSD present a major challenge in the medical management of cognitively impaired patients. Our paper entitled “Behavioral disorders and caregivers’ reaction in Taiwanese patients with Alzheimer's disease” (hereafter referred to as the “paper”) (Fuh et al., 2001) has been cited widely, reflecting the importance of these clinical issues and the growing international interest in studies of BPSD.
Ecology and natural history of the green rat snake at Leslie Canyon National Wildlife Refuge, Cochise County, Arizona

Green rat snakes (Senticolis triaspis) appear to be rare throughout their range, and little is known about their ecology and life history. Using opportunistically captured S. triaspis coupled with captive observations, natural observations, and radio telemetry, we document sev- eral natural history and ecological aspects of the species. The only known food items are small mammals; the species only rarely climbs in trees; preferred habitats are steep, rocky east-facing slopes with desertscrub vegetation; and active body temperatures typically are 23.4 - 29.7 o C. The species' conservation will depend on knowing its life-history and ecology, and protecting rocky slopes and mammalian food items.
The Influence of Focus on the Activation of Alternatives in Speech Production—An Online Picture-Word-Interference Experiment

In previous picture naming tasks, semantically related distractor words (co-hyponyms to the target word) induce interference, which is usually taken as evidence for lexical competition. In an online picture-word-interference experiment, we showed that distractor words that share a feature with the target (here: their natural prototypical color), also induced interference. Pictures were not named with single words but with short descriptive sentences (“The heart is red”). Focus on the noun modulated the interference effect. In particular, when target and distractor were presented simultaneously, the interference effect was significantly reduced in the narrow focus condition, compared to broad focus. We discuss our findings for focus production against the findings on language comprehension reported in the literature, which mostly observed facilitatory effects of focus marking on the comprehension of focus alternatives.
Improvement of social cognition in a Down’s syndrome patient after Bilateral PFC Deep HF-rTMS: A Clinical Case Report

Bilateral PFC Deep HF-rTMS protocol improved social cognition in a patient with Down’s Syndrome (DS, also known as Trisomy 21). DS is a genetic disorder originating from the existence of all or part of the third copy of chromosome 21 and is usually associated with di�culties in motor development, expressive language, grammar, speech clarity, number skills, verbal short-term memory etc.
When the Minister speaks: Framings of the vaccination hesitant and impact on the propensity to vaccinate girls for HPV

Vaccination hesitancy is a complex phenomenon in�uenced by numerous factors, including the communicative messages to which individuals are exposed. Policy-makers, through public communication, might contribute to shape this behaviour. In the study we report the results of an experiment in which respondents were randomly exposed to three different messages about the vaccination against the human papilloma virus (HPV) of girls. The messages were derived from the public statements (2015–2017) of the Italian Minister of Health and contained different frames of the vaccination hesitant (misinformed, antiscienti�c, or socially dangerous) and correspondingly policy solutions to counteract vaccination hesitancy (information campaigns, compulsory vaccination or compulsory vaccination and sanctions). Results show how framing the vaccination hesitant as antiscienti�c or socially dangerous, that in turn supports coercive and sanctioning policies, tends to discourage vaccination. These �ndings alert us to the importance of designing with great care the communication about vaccinations and avoid counterproductive effects.
The Chalk aquifer of the South Downs

The Chalk aquifer of the South Downs comprises one of the most heavily utilised and strictly managed groundwater resources in Britain. It is appropriate, therefore, that the South Downs aquifer was chosen for the first systematic regional review to be carried out within the National Groundwater Study. The study aims to compile available hydrogeological information, at least by reference or database address, and to provide a summary in report form as well as populating the National Water Well Archive and associated data listings on a regional basis. The South Downs study was carried out collaboratively by the British Geological Survey Hydrogeology Group, the University of Brighton, the Environment Agency —Southern Region, the Southern Water Group, and others within BGS. The work was carried out between 1992 and 1994 and has subsequently been collated into this report. Much of the book is a review of earlier work, not least of the history of groundwater management in the region, but there are also a number of original contributions including the association of structure and groundwater flow patterns as well as the new lithostratigraphy of the Chalk, the role of down-hole geophysics in monitoring saline intrusion, and the most recent resource-management policy. This report is intended to provide information for future workers on the Chalk aquifer of the South Downs. As such, it concludes with a vision of the work that is required for the South Downs Aquifer to keep pace with the modern day stresses applied to it. It is the first in a new series of books describing regional components of the major aquifers, and will be followed by a description of the hydrogeology and hydrogeochemistry of the Chalk of Yorkshire, and later by regional reports of the Triassic sandstones and other major aquifers. National hydrogeology is described in a separate Special Memoir Series. The National Groundwater Study brings together hydrogeologists with a diversity of interests and roles, mapping geologists, tectonic and structural engineering geologists, hydrogeochemists, environmentalists and economists. This book reflects this multidisciplinarity so that the South Downs aquifer is portrayed as a dynamic and renewable resource which is capable of satisfying demand, provided that it is appropriately and sensibly managed.
