Porn Streamer Recognition in Live Video Streaming via Attention-Gated Multimodal Deep Features

Live video streaming platforms have attracted millions of streamers and daily active users. For profit and popularity accumulation, some streamers mix pornography content into live content to avoid online supervision. Therefore, accurate recognition of porn streamers in live video streaming has become a challenging task. Porn streamers in live video present multimodal characteristics including visual and acoustic content. Therefore, a porn streamer recognition method in live video streaming is proposed that uses attention-gated multimodal deep features. Our contribution includes the following: (1) multimodal deep features, i.e., spatial, motion and audio, are extracted from live video streaming using convolutional neural networks (CNNs), in which the temporal context of multimodal features is obtained with a bi-directional gated recurrent unit (Bi-GRU); (2) the tri-attention gated mechanism is applied to map the associations between different modalities by assigning higher weights to important features for further reduction in the redundancy of multimodal features; (3) porn streamers in live video streaming are recognized via the attention-gated multimodal deep features. Six experiments are conducted on a real-world dataset, and the competitive results demonstrate that our method can effectively recognize porn streamers in live video streaming.
Hydroxyurea Effect On Marked Splenomegaly Associated with Primary Myelofibrosis: Response Rates and Correlation with JAK2V617F Allele Burden.

Abstract 4971 Background Marked splenomegaly severely compromises quality of life in primary myelofibrosis (PMF). Preliminary results from the use of small molecule JAK2 inhibitors suggest prominent activity in reducing spleen size. In order to put such salutary effect of investigational drug therapy in context, it is important to determine the value of conventional therapy in this regard. Methods Study population was selected from the Mayo Clinic PMF database and consisted of patients treated with hydroxyurea (HU) as first-line therapy for symptomatic, marked splenomegaly (palpable at >10 cm below the left costal margin) and in whom follow-up information was available to assess response. Palpable spleen size measurements were recorded before and after 3, 6 and 12 months of HU therapy. Spleen response was defined as minimal ( 50%). Standard statistical procedures were used to correlate spleen response with other clinical and laboratory parameters, including cytogenetic and JAK2 V617F mutational status. Results 46 consecutive patients (median age, 62 years; range 38-75; 30 males) met the above stipulated eligibility criteria for study inclusion. Pre-treatment IPSS risk categories were low, intermediate-1 (int-1), int-2 and high in 4, 13, 10 and 19 patients, respectively; 7 patients were transfusion-dependent. Quantitative JAK2 V617F and pre-treatment cytogenetic information were available in 25 and 36 patients, respectively; 15 (60%) patients were positive for JAK2 V617F and mutant allele burden was > 50% in 6 patients; 17 (47%) patients carried either favorable (n=5) or unfavorable (n=12) cytogenetic abnormalities. Overall response rate (major and minor) was 35% (16 of 46 patients) and major response rate 17%. Overall response rates were 10%, 67% and 33% in patients with undetectable JAK2 V617F or mutant allele burden of < or ≥ 50%, respectively (p=0.04). Overall response rates in patients with normal, favorable and unfavorable karyotype were 32%, 40% and 33%, respectively (p=0.9). Response was not affected by age, sex, HU dose or pretreatment status regarding spleen size, IPSS score or transfusion need. Conclusions The current study provides background information on the value of conventional chemotherapy for controlling PMF-associated marked splenomegaly. The study also suggests a positive effect of JAK2 V617F on treatment response to HU, a detail that needs to be considered when assessing the corresponding effect from a JAK2 inhibitor therapy. Disclosures Off Label Use: Hydroxyurea use in myelofibrosis.

Joint Viterbi detection and decoding algorithm for bluetooth low energy systems

An efficient joint Viterbi detection and decoding (JVDD) algorithm for a bluetooth low energy (BLE) system is proposed. Since the convolutional coded Gaussian minimum-shift keying (GMSK) signal is specified in the BLE 5.0 standard, two Viterbi processors are needed for detection and decoding. However, the proposed JVDD scheme uses only one Viterbi processor by modifying the branch metric with inter-symbol interference information from GMSK modulation; therefore, the hardware complexity can be significantly reduced without performance degradation.

A low voltage SONOS nonvolatile semiconductor memory technology

The triple dielectric SONOS (polysilicon-blocking oxide-silicon nitridetunnel oxide-silicon) structure is an attractive candidate for high density E/sup 2/PROM's suitable for semiconductor disks and a replacement for high-density DRAMS. Low programming voltages (5 V) and high endurance (greater than 10/sup 7/ cycles) are possible in this multi-dielectric technology as the intermediate Si/sub 3/N/sub 4/ layer is scaled to thicknesses of 50 A. The thin gate insulator and low programming voltage enable the scaling of the basic memory cell and as associated CMOS peripheral circuitry on the memory chip. A SONOS 1TC memory cell is proposed in a NOR architecture with a cell area of 6F/sup 2/, where F is the technology feature size. A 0.20 /spl mu/m feature size permits a 1TC area of 0.24 /spl mu/m/sup 2/ for advanced 1-Gb nonvolatile semiconductor memory chips. A physical model is presented to characterize the erase/write, retention and endurance properties of the nonvolatile semiconductor memory (NVSM) SONOS device.
Intentionality, scalar change, and non-culmination in Korean caused change-of-state predicates

Abstract This paper investigates the interpretations of caused change-of-state predicates in Korean, and in particular non-culmination readings in which the result state inherent to the meaning of the predicate fails to obtain either fully (zero result) or partially. We argue that zero result readings require that the subject intended the coming about of the result state, while readings in which some result obtains (partially or completely) lack this entailment. Yet zero result interpretations are not reducible to ‘try’-constructions since the former but not the latter require the direct causation. Furthermore, zero result readings arise only in active voice, a grammatical constraint not explicitly discussed for other languages. We argue that the full suite of possible readings arises from two factors: a sublexical modality over worlds conforming to the agent’s intentions for zero result readings that arises from a special active voice inflection in Korean and a scalar semantics for change-of-state verbs that derives partial result readings as a type of degree achievement interpretation. An interaction of these two factors produce the range of possible readings for Korean change-of-state predicates. Finally, we discuss our account in relation to the Agent Control Hypothesis of Demirdache and Martin (2015) that agentivity properties of the subject are necessary for certain non-culmination readings, and suggest that Korean exemplifies the ACH provided that what counts as “control” includes intentionality.
Best Practices for Normalizing Parents in the Academy: Higher- and Lower-Order Processes and Women and Parents’ Success

ABSTRACT Our research on bias in family formation is rooted in the extant literature of gender and academia but moves beyond discussion of the “leaky-pipeline” metaphor to explore less frequently addressed issues including pregnancy loss, illness, lactation, and challenges faced by academic parents who are the partners of those who have given birth. We explore the lower-order processes that inform the gap in professional achievement between men and women in political science specifically and in academia more broadly. In turn, these lower-order processes manifest as more observable higher-order outcomes such as the disparate rates of tenure and promotion. We conducted a 100-question survey from November 2017 through July 2019 involving more than 300 respondents. Through analysis of open-ended survey responses, we identified a common theme uniting faculty experiences at a range of universities: family formation and parenting can be isolating processes for academics, and there often is a gross lack of both formal and informal support within universities, which creates the potential for setbacks in both personal and professional life. We highlight the challenges confronting academic parents—especially women—and suggest potential avenues to a more inclusive and balanced approach to academia.
Is there an association between the ecological characteristics of anurans from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest and their extinction risk?

Extinctions of anuran amphibians are more alarming compared to all other vertebrates. Several reports of declines come from Atlantic Forest, which currently holds only 1.62% of natural vegetation under full protection. However, despite this degradation, the Atlantic Forest still shelters a great diversity of anurans with a high diversity of specific ecological characteristics. Thus, our objective was to identify which ecological characteristics of anurans from the Atlantic Forest can be associated to this extinction risk, in order to understand how these characteristics can promote the species persistence against environmental disturbance. For each species, we gathered biological/ecological characteristics from literature, as well the extinction risk based on the National List of Endangered Species of Wildlife. In 2015, 547 anuran species had been assigned to the Atlantic Forest, of which 406 had their extinction risk defined. However, we considered only 295 species in our analyses due to the availability of biological/ecological information. We observed that the clutch size and the altitudinal distribution are related to the extinction risk of anurans. Threatened species had a small clutch size and were distributed in low or high areas, whereas non-threatened species had a larger clutch size and were distributed in intermediate altitude areas. Studies that investigate ecological characteristics that determine the extinction risk of species can be useful to assist conservation actions, concentrating efforts to species more sensitive to environmental alterations, besides highlighting the importance of natural history and the ecology of organisms in conservation decisions.
Psychopharmacology and the Ethics of Resource Allocation

Economists in the UK have developed a particular view of ethical choice which puts the main focus on short-term, static decisions. As resources are scarce, decisions have to compete (O'Donnell et al, 1988). Although economists have also stressed the moral imperative of improving efficiency, the theme of choice as inexorable has come through much more strongly. Economists in the UK have been more hesitant about giving any clear advice on how to deal with the special problems of supply efficiencies and professional monopoly in health services.
Effects of early weaning calves from first calf heifers on calf and heifer performance.

Calves from 31 first calf2-yr-old Hereford heifers in thin condition were weaned at 6 to 8 weeks of age. Thirty additional heifers were assigned to raise their calves to normal weaning age (7 months). One-half of the early weaned calves remained in drylot to normal weaning age and were fed complete mixed rations. At 41/2 months of age, one-half of the early weaned calves were moved from drylot to a native pasture with the drylot ration available as creep feed. Early weaning improved heifer conception rates from 59 to 97 percent (P<.05). Heifers with early weaned calves gained more (P< .05) weight from calving to breeding, during the breeding season and weighed 87 Ib more in the fall than heifers that suckled calves. Calves reared in drylot weaned at about the same weight as calves raised by their dams. Calves fed creep on range the last 2 months of the study gained less (P<.05) than calves in drylot, but consumed 40 percent less feed.
Perceived kansei and performance-based usability impact on satisfaction for web-based applications

Kansei Engineering has been applied intensively for product design and development considering the deepest layer of customer needs, known as Kansei, which is related to emotional need or affect. This method has been extended into service design and innovation. It has been shown that Kansei’s impact on customer loyalty is equally important as that of cognition or performance. A recent research in investigating the proportional effect of Kansei and performance on usability measurement for e-services has been conducted. It shows that both Kansei and performance is found to be equally significant as well. Then, a question is raised, whether they are antecedent of customer satisfaction. This study is proposed to investigate both perceived Kansei-based and performance-based usability measures on satisfaction. Both theoretical and practical implication is highly expected due to the growth of more human-computer interaction (HCI) features and services nowadays. A proposed applicative framework followed by an empirical study on how the perceived Kansei and performance-based usability impact on satisfaction for web-based applications is discussed.
Drosha Regulates Oogenesis and microRNAs Germline Autonomously and Non-autonomously in C. elegans

Small non-coding RNAs regulate multiple aspects of development including germ cell development. The microRNA pathway genes Dicer, Drosha and Pasha have been shown to regulate oocyte meiotic maturation in C. elegans. However, Dicer controls oocyte meiotic maturation through endo-siRNAs, rather than microRNAs. A repertoire of Drosha-dependent oocyte-expressed microRNAs were identified which regulate various aspects of oogenesis but not oocyte meiotic maturation. These data lead to the following models: (a) microRNAs function redundantly to regulate oocyte meiotic maturation, (b) Drosha and microRNAs function germline non-autonomously to regulate meiotic maturation. We investigated these models and observed that Drosha regulates oocyte meiotic maturation in a germline non-autonomous manner. Additionally, we uncovered a role for Drosha in regulating pachytene progression and oocyte development in a germline autonomous manner through miR-35 family and miR-51 respectively. Interestingly we also find that though Drosha-dependent oocyte-expressed microRNAs, miR-61 and miR-72, are sufficient to regulate pachytene progression and oocyte development respectively, they are generated in a germline non-autonomous manner. Collectively these data reveal a Drosha-dependent microRNA circuit, which coordinates oocyte development germline autonomously as well as through soma-germline communication.
Relationship between Childhood Relationships and Antisocial and Lifestyle Characteristics of Psychopathic Traits

Psychopathy is a heterogeneous personality construct that has long been associated with antisocial behaviors and outcomes (Hare, 2003; Walsh & Kosson, 2006). However, some literature suggests that socially deviant behaviors and outcomes may not necessarily be a fundamental component of psychopathy (Cooke & Michie, 2001; DeMatteo, Heilbrun, & Marczyk, 2001; Lilienfeld & Widows, 2005). Research on externalizing behaviors and psychopathy has broadened from examining the quality of early relationships as a risk factor (Salekin & Lochman, 2008), to also examining early relationships as a potential protective factor against the development of psychopathic characteristics and antisocial outcomes (i.e. Backman, Laajasalo, Jokela, & Aronen., 2018; Buck, 2015; Gao, Raine, Chan, Venables, & Mednik, 2010). This study retrospectively investigated the quality of early relationships with parents and peers as potential protective factors in moderating the relationship between psychopathic characteristics and self-reported socially deviant behaviors in an undergraduate sample from an urban, Northeastern university. Higher quality relationships with friends and family during childhood and early adolescence were hypothesized to correlate with a lower frequency and versatility of self-reported antisocial behavior. Results were mixed. Higher quality relationships with fathers buffered the relationship between affective and total psychopathy characteristics with antisocial versatility, while high-quality peer relationships appeared to enhance the relationship between psychopathic characteristics and antisocial frequency and versatility. These results suggest that the impact of relationship quality with participants may be differential between parents and peers and should be conceptualized separately.
Opposed type double stage cell for Mbar pressure experiment with large sample volume

ABSTRACT A new opposed type double-stage large volume cell has been developed to compress large volume samples to more than 100 GPa (Mbar) pressure. A pair of second-stage diamond anvils is introduced into the first-stage Paris–Edinburgh press. The double-stage large volume cell allows the generation of ultrahigh pressures using a large culet diameter of the second-stage diamond anvils (diameters of 0.5–1.2 mm). Pressure generation up to 131 GPa has been achieved by using the culet diameter of 0.5 mm. Sample volume of the double-stage large volume cell can be more than ∼100 times larger than that of conventional Mbar experiment using a diamond anvil cell. The double-stage large volume cell has a large opening in the horizontal plane for X-ray measurements, which is particularly suited for the multi-angle energy dispersive X-ray diffraction measurement, thus opening a new way of in situ structural determinations of amorphous materials at Mbar pressures.
Research on Taiwan’s Agricultural Industry Introducing E-Commerce Auction Trading System

Taiwan has joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) in recent years. Taiwan’s economic and trade market has gradually become internationalized. Facing the competitive trend of global economic and trade liberalization, and the agricultural production environment have transformed; it has hit Taiwan’s agricultural economic market. The main influencing factors include the high cost of agricultural production, the farmer system of small-scale farming, the small population of the rural population and the ageing. The agricultural challenge in Taiwan is even more severe. Therefore, how to strengthen the agricultural production and marketing supply chain structure, innovative agricultural technology research and development is an important issue at present. The main purpose of this study is to use information technology to promote the e-commerce auction trading mode of agricultural products, strengthen the supply and marketing order, ensure the trading information of agricultural products are transparent and opened, and improve the marketing system of agricultural products and expand the multiple marketing channels of agricultural products. The research method uses SWOT analysis and five-force analysis, and the secondary data collection method and literature exploration method in qualitative research are carried out. The research results show that: 1. By constructing a high-stability B2B e-commerce architecture, agricultural products can achieve good efficiency in the process of transportation and sales; 2. An innovative agricultural product trading system can strengthen the agricultural economic system. In addition, in the research, the “business model innovation” that this study failed to mention is worthy of inclusion in continuous research to increase the contribution of research.
The effects of water pollution on the phylogenetic community structure of aquatic plants in the East Tiaoxi River, China

Water pollution is one of the most serious aquatic environmental problems worldwide. In China, recent agricultural and industrial development has resulted in rapid changes in aquatic ecosystems. Here, we reveal the effects of water pollution on the phylogenetic community structure of aquatic macrophytes in the Tiaoxi River, China. We placed a rectangular plot at 47 sites within the Tiaoxi River from the mouth of the river to 88.5 km upstream, in which we recorded species abundance and measured 22 physico‐chemical variables. Bayesian phylogeny using the rbcL and matK gene sequences was employed to quantify phylogenetic α‐ and β‐diversity, and test the phylogenetic signal in four growth forms: emergent, floating‐leaved, free‐floating, and submerged. Within communities, water contamination and phytoplankton abundance decreased species richness and phylogenetic diversity, which resulted in phylogenetic clustering; species within communities were more closely related to each other than expected. Between communities, differences in geographical distance and phytoplankton abundance resulted in phylogenetic dissimilarity among plots. Aquatic macrophytes showed phylogenetic signals in which related species responded more similarly to disturbance. Thus, the observed patterns could be explained by environmental filtering and suggested that water pollution by human activity has added more filters to the existing environmental filters that drive the species assembly of macrophyte communities.
