Vulnerable Road Users Classification of Smartphone Sensors Data Using Deep Transfer Learning

As the Autonomous Vehicle (AV) industry is rapidly advancing, classification of non-motorized (vulnerable) road users (VRUs) becomes essential to ensure their safety and to smooth operation of road applications. The typical practice of non-motorized road users’ classification usually takes numerous training time and ignores the temporal evolution and behavior of the signal. In this research effort, we attempt to detect VRUs with high accuracy be proposing a novel framework that includes using Deep Transfer Learning, which saves training time and cost, to classify images constructed from Recurrence Quantification Analysis (RQA) that reflect the temporal dynamics and behavior of the signal. Recurrence Plots (RPs) were constructed from low-power smartphone sensors without using GPS data. The resulted RPs were used as inputs for different pre-trained Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) classifiers including constructing 227×227 images to be used for AlexNet and SqueezeNet; and constructing 224×224 images to be used for VGG16 and Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 24 September 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202009.0566. v1 © 2020 by the author(s). Distributed under a Creative Commons CC BY license. 2 VGG19. Results show that the classification accuracy of Convolutional Neural Network Transfer Learning (CNN-TL) reaches 98.70%, 98.62%, 98.71%, and 98.71% for AlexNet, SqueezeNet, VGG16, and VGG19, respectively. The results of the proposed framework outperform other results in the literature (to the best of our knowledge) and show that using CNN-TL is promising for VRUs classification. Because of its relative straightforwardness, ability to be generalized and transferred, and potential high accuracy, we anticipate that this framework might be able to solve various problems related to signal classification.

18F-FDG PET-based radiomics model for predicting occult lymph node metastasis in clinical N0 solid lung adenocarcinoma.

Background This study aimed to develop a preoperative positron emission tomography (PET)-based radiomics model for predicting occult lymph node metastasis (OLM) in clinical N0 (cN0) solid lung adenocarcinoma. Methods The preoperative fluorine-18-fludeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET images of 370 patients with cN0 lung adenocarcinoma confirmed by histopathological examination were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into training and validation sets. Radiomics features and relevant data were extracted from PET images. A nomogram was developed in a training set via univariate and multivariate logistic analyses, and its performance was assessed by concordance-index (C-index), calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA) in the training and validation sets. Results The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that only carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), and the radiomics signature had statistically significant differences between patients with and without OLM (P<0.05). A nomogram was developed based on the logistic analyses, and its C-index was 0.769 in the training set and 0.768 in the validation set. The calibration curve demonstrated good consistency between the nomogram-predicted probability of OLM and the actual rate. The DCA also confirmed the clinical utility of the nomogram. Conclusions A PET/computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics model including CEA, MTV, and the radiomics signature was developed and demonstrated adequate predictive accuracy and clinical net benefit in the present study, and was conveniently used to facilitate the individualized preoperative prediction of OLM.
Life satisfaction, sense of coherence and social support of Finnish breast cancer survivors – with special reference to perceived sexuality and rehabilitation

With continuing improvement in early detection and treatment of breast cancer, the number of breast cancer survivors is steadily increasing. As breast cancer is becoming more and more a chronic condition rather than a life-threatening illness, health care professionals must recognize and manage the long-term sequelae of the constellation of therapeutic modalities. The aim of the thesis was to evaluate the psychological and social factors affecting the overall life satisfaction and sense of coherence and to review the effects of rehabilitation of survivors of advanced cancer. The thesis is composed of four sub-studies: Study I assessed the life satisfaction and sense of coherence of breast cancer survivors. Study II explored perceived social support during breast cancer trajectory, study III estimated the perceived importance of and satisfaction with sex life, and study IV was a systematic review of the effects of rehabilitation of patients with advanced cancer. The data of the studies I-III is drawn from the Finnish nationwide Health and Social Support (HeSSup) -study. Women diagnosed with breast cancer are as satisfied with their lives as healthy controls, and they report significantly better life satisfaction and a stronger sense of coherence than women suffering from depression. There was a positive correlation between coherence and life satisfaction. The most important source of social support is spouse or partner. Breast cancer survivors felt dissatisfaction with their sex life and found it less important than those with hypertension, and healthy controls. Multidisciplinary rehabilitation can be seen to be an effective form of support for cancer even in the chronic stage of the disease. The identification of factors affecting the improvement of the overall life satisfaction of breast cancer survivors is an important public health challenge. Moreover, the results underline the importance of social support, sexuality and rehabilitation during the trajectory of breast cancer survivors, and the awareness of this knowledge among healthcare professionals’ should be enhanced.

Eye Sight Processor using Optical Character Recognition

: Optical Character Recognition (OCR) plays an important role in the retrieval of information from pixel-based images to searchable and machine-editable text formats. In old or poorly printed documents, printed characters are typically broken and blurred, making character recognition potentially far more complex. In this work, deep neural network using Inception V3 is used to train and perform OCR. The Inception V3 network is trained with 53,342 noisy character images, which were collected from receipts and newspapers. Our experimental results show that the proposed deep neural network achieved significantly better recognition accuracy on poor quality text images and resulted in an overall 21.5% reduction in error rate compared to existing OCRs.

The relative growth rate of Liquidambar formosana C/N was the highest, which reached to-26%, which of Liquidambar styraciflua was the lowest, reached to-56%. The results also indicated that the rootlet at 0d0.5mm had a significant contribution in seedling stage, especially Liquidambar styraciflua. The drought resistance strength of three kinds of root system was in the order: Liquidambar formosana Liquidambar styraciflua Liquidambar acalycina.
QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE CONTEXT OF THE LEVEL OF EDUCATION AND THE RATES OF PAY ЯКІСТЬ ЖИТТЯ В КОНТЕКСТІ РІВНЯ ОСВІТИ ТА РІВНЯ ОПЛАТИ ПРАЦІ

Quality of Life plays an ever know the importance in the modern world. Determinants affecting the quality of life are constantly changing. Studies show that education plays an important role in determining the situation on the labor market and in generating wage rates. Wage rates, in turn, correlate very strongly with standard of living, quality of life and satisfaction of individual residents. People with primary education and basic vocational education are exposed to much greater fluctuations in the demand for labor than other groups. Instability is manifested also by frequent interruptions and shorter work experience less educated people. Please also note that the level of education affects not only the probability of hitting to unemployment. As a result of the processes of modernization of the economy, there was unusually large increase in wages of skilled people, which results in a large increase in wage disparities in the society.
Prevalence of trypanosomosis in horses of Western Maharashtra

A total sum of 136 blood samples of horses were collected from various location and organized farms of Nasik, Baramati, Pachgani, Mahabaleshwar and Maharashtra Police Academy, Nasik. All the samples were screened by microscopic examinations for prevalence of Trypanosoma spp. and further confirmed by PCR. Out of 116 samples 12 samples (10.34%) were found to be positive by microscopic examinations and 4 samples were further confirmed as Trypanosoma evansi by PCR. For PCR assay primers targeting Variable Surface Glucoprotein (VSG) gene having amplicon size of 400 base pair were used. The prevalence of Trypanosomosis was recorded highest in age group 2-18 years (10.71%) while, lower prevalence was recorded in the age group 0-12 months age (5.26%). For 1-2 years age group, and 18 years age group, the prevalence was recorded as 8.57% and 7.69% respectively. The incidence of Trypanosomosis was recorded highest in Marwari breed (14.28%), followed by Non-descript (9.37%) Spiti (7.69%), Kathiyawadi (6.89%) and Thorough breeds (3.70%).
Parasitism behavior of parasitoid and host relationship of Acerophagus papayae on Paracoccus marginatus under laboratory conditions

Acerophagus papaya, a solitary endoparasitoid, is widely used in classical biological control of papaya mealybug, Paracoccus marginatus. The parastism behaviour of A. papayae on two host stages of P. marginatus at ambient environment was examined. The results revealed that there were more percent parasitism when A. papayae offered adult female and 2 instar nymph of P. marginatus in choice situations (44±5.47%) as compared to adult female only (36±5.47%). The higher number of female parasitoids, were emerged from adult female hosts while the developmental time for male parasitoids was shorter than female in both no choice and choice situations. This information may lead that parasitoid efficiency will be increased with diverse stages of papaya mealybug in the field.
Effects of Hydrolyzed Yeast on Growth Performance,Lipids Metabolism and Intestinal Structure of Largemouth Bass(Micropterus salmoides)

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of hydrolyzed yeast on growth performance,lipids metabolism and intestinal structure of largemouth bass( Micropterus salmoides),and to evaluate the efficacy of hydrolyzed yeast in the largemouth bass diet. In the experiment,three isoproteic( 47 % crude protein)and isoenergetic(20. 0 M J / kg gross energy) diets were formulated: a high fish meal diet containing 35 % low-temperature drying fish meal was designed as control diet( named FM),and 50 % of the fish meal was replaced by plant protein mixture( soybean meal + wheat gluten) with 3 % hydrolyzed yeast( named HY) or not(named SBM) on the basis of amino acid balance. Largemouth bass with the initial body weight of(20. 80 ±0. 04) g were as experimental animal,and those were randomly divided into 3 groups which reared in an indoor water-recirculating system lasted for 8 weeks. Each group had 4 replicates and each replicate had 25 fish.The results showed that the weight gain rate,specific growth rate and feed intake in HY group were significantly higher than those in FM and SBM groups( P 0. 05),while the hepaticsomatic index in HY group was significantly lower than that in FM and SBM groups( P 0. 05). The content of whole body crude lipid in FM group was significantly lower than that in HY and SBM groups( P 0. 05). The content of serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in HY and SBM groups was significantly higher than that in FM group( P 0. 05),while the content of liver total cholesterol in HY and SBM groups was significantly lower than that in FM group(P 0. 05). The contents of serum triglyceride and free fatty acids and the content of liver fat showed a similar change,that was FM group was significantly lower than SBM group( P 0. 05) and no significant differences were found in FM and HY groups( P 0. 05). After 50 % of the fish meal was replaced by plant protein mixture,the intestinal tissue appeared muscular layer thinner and villi integrity drop,while the symptoms of intestinal injuries were released by hydrolyzed yeast. This study indicates that 3 % hydrolyzed yeast supplementation can significantly improve the growth performance,improve the live healthy status,promote the liver fat and cholesterol metabolism and repair the intestinal injuries of largemouth bass when 50 % fish meal substitution by plant protein mixture under this experimental conditions.
Étude du maintien et de la rupture de l'association symbiotique Cnidaire-Dinoflagellés : approches cellulaires et moléculaires chez l'anémone de mer Anemonia viridis

L’endosymbiose trophique etablie entre un hote Cnidaire et ses symbiotes Dinoflagelles photosynthetiques est a l’origine du succes evolutif des ecosystemes coralliens. Les symbiotes sont internalises par un mecanisme de phagocytose et maintenus dans les cellules du gastroderme de l'hote. La symbiose est regie par un dialogue moleculaire intime entre les deux partenaires, interrompu lors de perturbations environnementales ou anthropiques, responsables du declin mondial des recifs coralliens. Les objectifs de mon projet de recherche sont de definir les acteurs moleculaires localises a l’interface symbiotique chez l’anemone de mer, Anemonia viridis. Premierement, nous avons etudie les mecanismes cellulaires impliques dans differents types de rupture de la symbiose et mis en evidence des phenomenes d’apoptose, necrose et symbiophagie. Parallelement, nous avons caracterise chez l’anemone les genes npc1 et npc2, impliques chez les vertebres dans le transport endosomal de sterols, et dont l’expression est modulee par l’etat symbiotique. Nous avons pu montrer que le gene npc2d est issus d’une duplication et vraisemblablement d’une sub-fonctionnalisation et que les proteines NPC1 et NPC2 sont exprimees au voisinage des symbiotes. Nous proposons donc que la proteine NPC2-d soit utilisee comme marqueur de l’etat de sante des Anthozoaires symbiotiques et que la proteine NPC1 soit un marqueur de la membrane perisymbiotique. Nous avons egalement developpe un protocole afin d’identifier les proteines associees a l’interface symbiotique entre les deux partenaires. A terme, les cibles identifiees permettront une meilleure comprehension des mecanismes qui regulent la relation symbiotique.

Impacts of River Engineering on Multi-Decadal Water Discharge of the Mega-Changjiang River

Knowledge of river engineering impacts on water discharge is significant to flow guidelines and sustainable water resource managements for balancing human consumption and the natural environment. In this study, based on the collected multi-decadal discharge data at Yichang, Hankou, and Datong stations, we determined that in October, Three Gorges Dam contributed 34.4%, 24.5%, and 18.7% to the discharge decrease in the upper, middle, and lower reach, respectively, while Gezhouba Dam contributed 14.5%, 10.7%, and 10%. Danjiangkou Reservoir caused the discharge ratio of Hanjiang to Changjiang to decline from 7.2% during 1954–1973 to 6.3% during 1973–2014. Owing to growing water withdrawal and consumption, we suggest that the distribution of water diversion and consumption should be regulated to prevent the probable occurrence of the severe issue of salt water intrusion in the Changjiang Estuary in 2028.
Effect of fermented liquid feed on gut morphology of Large White Yorkshire (LWY) grower-finisher pigs

The study was for comparative assessment of gut morphology of grower-finisher LWY pigs fed dry feed, non-fermented liquid feed and fermented liquid feed prepared with Lactobacillus acidophilus and Enterococcus faecium. After 180 days of feeding trial, 3 pigs from each group were slaughtered and duodenal, jejunal and ileal samples were collected and processed following standard procedures for histo-morphological study. Significant (P< 0.05) improvements of villi height, crypt depth and apparent villi surface area were recorded in all the sections of small intestine of pigs fed fermented liquid feed as compared to pigs fed dry and non-fermented liquid feed. Histo-morphology enumerated in all the three segments of the small intestine revealed that the villi and epithelial cellular structures were normal indicating that feeding of fermented and non-fermented liquid feeds did not have any adverse effect. The tips of the villi showed hyper-cellularity with more mononuclear cells and crypts between the villi were also observed to have more mononuclear epithelial cells in pigs fed fermented liquid feed. Except in pigs fed dry feed and non-fermented liquid feed, numerous lymphoid follicles were also observed above the lamina propria of the duodenal sections of pigs fed fermented liquid feed. No significant difference was observed between pigs fed fermented liquid feeds with different inoculums. The findings of the study revealed that feeding of liquid feed/fermented liquid feed had favourable effect on the development of the intestinal epithelium and infiltration of mononuclear cells with large number of glandular epithelium and lymphoid follicles in the intestinal sections of pigs fed fermented liquid feed might be the indication of better digestive efficiency and immune status of pigs.
