Treatment for Congenital Cytomegalovirus Infection: who, for how long,with what Drug Regimen?

Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is the most frequently identified viral cause of mental retardation and is the leading non-genetic cause of neurosensory hearing loss in developed countries, and is the most common congenital infection in human beings, with approximately 1% of all infants born alive in the United States being infected with CMV Infants with symptomatic CMV infection with observations at birth including petechiae, hepatosplenomegaly, microcephaly, thrombocytopenia, or jaundice with conjugated hyperbilirubinemia showed in 70% of cases abnormal computed tomographic (CT) scans with intracerebral calcification being the most frequent finding, and again 90% of the children with an abnormal newborn CT scan developed at least one sequela [4]. In addition, almost half of the children with CT abnormalities had an IQ <50 compared with none of those with a normal CT. Of infected fetuses, approximately 10% are symptomatic at birth, and 90% of symptomatic survivors have significant neurologic sequelae, including hearing deficits in 30% to 65%
Petrogenesis and PGE of the lower mineralized zone of the Waterberg Project, South Africa

6 The Waterberg deposit is located north of the Northern Lobe of the Bushveld Complex in South 7 Africa and represents a large, high-grade, new PGE discovery with the potential to change the 8 local and global miningPGE market. The rst comprehensive study of the lower ultrama c section 9 of thisthe exciting area has been conductedcompleted, and below core logging, whole-rock chemical 10 analysies and six element PGE data are presented. 11 The Waterberg Succession in the ssection studied comprises mineralized harzburgites and marginal 12 orthopyroxenite, rocks overlain by troctolite grading into gabbroic rocks. Whole-rock analyses 13 show geochemical signaturesvariations typical of di erentiated assemblages of cumulus olivine, 14 plagioclase, and pyroxene assemblages. Normalized trace element data display HREE depletion, 15 strong positive Eu and Sr anomalies and LREE enrichment. The position of positive as well as 16 negativenegative anomalies for Th, Rb, Nb and Ta isare typical for rocks of the Bushveld Complex. 17 Normalized PGE distributions are strongly fractionated (Pd/Ir 177) and, Pd-enriched, and Au18 poor. 19 Emplacement of the rocksmagmas was initiatedis believed to have commenced bywith west-east 20 trending, nger-like intrusions, followed by lateral dilation and emplacement of sul de droplet21 bearing, ultrama c chonolithsmagmas. This in turn was followed by a second phase of intrusiveons, 22 characterized by sheet-like emplacementbodies of troctolites. Fractionation of these magmas led to 23 the development of gabbroic rocks that make up the top of the succession. The Waterberg Project 24 is located in the Southern Marginal Zone of the Limpopo Belt. This position in a structurally 25 active area may have facilitated the creation of space for initial magmas. 26 It is argued, that the Waterberg successionma c to ultrama c succession of the Waterberg Project 27 does not represent a simple marginal extension of the Aurora Project of the Northern Lobe, nor 28 does it directly correlate with the Platreef. It shares geological features, but represents a separate 29 magmatic basin. 30 The conclusion that the WBWaterberg Succession does not represent a simple strike extension of 31 the Northern Lobe is excellent news for explorers of the Bushveld Complex. andIt demonstrates, 32 that cooperation of industry and academia, aided by 21st century geophysical techniques, that 33 mineralized successions with their own metal budgets can lead to signi cant discoveries in well34 explored terrains. 35
Cement Industry Overview and Market Price Forecasting In Azerbaijan

Global economic situation and energy resources’ prices influence local economic trends, investment of capital, status of financial institutions and cement industry in Azerbaijan in whole. These trends influence demand and activities of cement business communities which start to optimize expenses and find new priority decisions in business. Moreover some independent economic analysts refer to forecasts that since 2016 yearly demand will increase 4-5% in Azerbaijan. Objectives are to forecast cement price in the market using Fuzzy c-means (together with Fuzzy Inference System) and ANFIS which are entered MATLAB mathematical packet and to compare the results of these methods.Taking into consideration the results of research and applied forecast models the cement price can show the stable slow increasing in the market even there is probability of some periodic fluctuations and regulating actions by the state authorities. Therefore it is high probability that the cement price will increase next 1-2 years.
Sentiment Analysis for IMDb Movie Review

Sentiment analysis has long been a problem for business, marketing and management areas for more value earned in the decision process. Previous work about sentiment analysis has been focusing on document-level, sentence-level and word-level sentiment extraction, with both supervised and unsupervised approaches. In this paper, I’m introducing classification model for sentiment analysis with context information participated in the feature space. The dataset was captured from IMDb movie reviews, in which I sampled 1,000 instances from the huge dataset and split it by the 20%-70%-10% ratio for development, cross-validation and final test sets. Through multiple error analysis, including stretchy patterns, character N-grams and elimination of stop words, and tuning procedure on ridge parameter, the performance on final test set hit 84% of percentage correctness and 0.6806 in kappa statistics, revealing marginal improvement to the baseline Logistic Regression model. Some exploration of data and discussion about this, for error analysis and tuning, is also included through the work. Future work of this model may be focusing on some new approaches like deep learning, and introduction of embedded context information in the feature space.
Corvitin modulates the content of lipids in rat liver bile

Quercetin (QUE) and its water-soluble form сorvitin are medicinally important members of the flavonoid family and the most prominent dietary antioxidants. Numerous pharmacological effects of quercetin include protection against diseases, such as atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, and cerebrovascular disea ses. Corvitin modulates liver blood flow but its effects on liver lipid metabolism have not been understood. We investigated the influence of corvitin (2.5, 5, 10 mg/kg) on the formation and secretion of cholesterol (Chol), cholesterol esters (EChol), phospholipids (PLs), free fatty acids (FFAs), and triglycerides (TGs) into the bile. Secreted bile was collected during 2.5 h of the experiment. Lipid fractions of the bile were separated by thin-layer chromatography. We defined that administration of corvitin caused a significant (P < 0.05– 0.001) increase in levels of all studied lipid components of bile. At a dose of 2.5 and 5 mg/kg corvitin increased bile content of Chol, PLs and FFAs,and at a dose of 10 mg/kg had the largest effect on the total production of EChol and TGs. We concluded that corvitin activates the liver lipids metabolism and processes of bile formation.
EXCISION OF A TRAUMATIC FIBROMA WITH DIODE LASER IN A PEDIATRIC PATIENT: CASE REPORT

Fibroma is currently considered the most common reactive hyperplasia of fibrous connective tissue in response to local trauma in the oral cavity. This case deals with the excision of a traumatic fibroma using diode laser (Epic X, wavelength of 940nm, continuous mode, 5W power), whose energy is absorbed by hemoglobin and melanin (chromophores) and is indicated in soft tissue surgeries, favoring coagulation. The results are consistent with the benefits demonstrated in the scientific literature: better visibility in the surgical act due to achieved hemostasis, excellent postoperative phase due to the absence of pain and inflammation, with no need for analgesic medication, no use of sutures, no scarring and no recurrence. It is a safe and fast procedure that also allows performing a histopathological study without altering the tissues to be examined. In the case presented here, the histopathological study confirmed the presumptive diagnosis of fibroma.
Microphone Arrays for Speaker Recognition

This paper addresses the problem of remote speaker recognition (SRE). Nowadays, systems working with signals from close-talking microphones yield very good results. However, in the case of remotely obtained data, their accuracy decreases considerably. Therefore, we explore the applicability of microphone arrays for recovery from errors of SRE system introduced by the room reverberation, where microphone arrays are purposely positioned set of microphones. We discuss two approaches which are both based on microphone arrays – beamforming (delay-andsum) for enhancement of the input signals and the retraining of the SRE system components with the beamformed data. By the combination of both techniques, we have achieved significant improvement of accuracy in comparison with the results obtained with the single-microphone recordings.
The distribution of pitch patterns and communicative types in speech-chunks preceding pauses and gaps

As part of a broader study of voice prosody in speech communication, this paper looks at intonation in turn-taking. It exam-ines the distribution of pitch patterns and communicative types in the interpausal units (IPUs) preceding pause or gap silences extracted from a corpus of spontaneous speech of Irish English. IPUs preceding speaker change (‘Gaps’) and IPUs preceding silence where the same speaker continues talking (‘Pauses’) were selected in the course of automatic extraction of pause/gap silences in dyadic dialogue interactions. A listening test was conducted to establish ‘human predictable’ pause/gap data sets which were subsequently manually annotated in terms of pitch patterns and communicative types. Overall, the Gaps and Pauses subsets show differentiation in terms of both their communicative types and pitch tunes. Declaratives and Questions are mainly found in Gaps, whereas in Pauses we mainly find Hesitations and Incomplete Declaratives. Gaps are generally characterised by falling or rising pitch patterns, whereas in Pauses a large proportion of speech samples are realised with level pitch. Classification experiments reveal discrimination of pauses and gaps for both prosodic and functional annotation labels. Follow-up work aims to relate intonational characteristics of turn taking with voice quality and temporal dynamics, to provide a holistic view of the processes involved.
Organizing and the Process of Sensemaking

S ensemaking involves turning circumstances into a situation that is comprehended explicitly in words and that serves as a springboard into action. In this paper we take the position that the concept of sensemaking ﬁlls important gaps in organizational theory. The seemingly transient nature of sensemaking belies its central role in the determination of human behavior, whether people are acting in formal organizations or elsewhere. Sensemaking is central because it is the primary site where meanings materialize that inform and constrain identity and action. The purpose of this paper is to take stock of the concept of sensemaking. We do so by pinpointing central features of sensemaking, some of which have been explicated but neglected, some of which have been assumed but not made explicit, some of which have changed in signiﬁcance over time, and some of which have been missing all along or have gone awry. We sense joint enthusiasm to restate sensemaking in ways that make it more future oriented, more action oriented, more macro, more closely tied to organizing, meshed more boldly with identity, more visible, more behaviorally deﬁned, less sedentary and backward looking, more infused with emotion and with issues of sensegiving and persuasion. These key enhancements provide a foundation upon which to build future studies that can strengthen the sensemaking perspective.
Analysis of the Influence of Safety Education on Construction Safety Behavior

Safety accidents in the construction industry occur frequently, which threatens the safety of life and property of construction workers and affects the success or failure of construction projects. In order to reduce the probability of construction accidents, effectively solve the problem of safety production, further explore the mechanism of safety education on the safety behavior of employees, the questionnaire survey method was used to collect data from the construction site and use it as a sample to study the impact of safety education on the safety behavior of construction workers.Based on the theoretical analysis, AMOS software was used to collate and analyze the survey data, and the structural equation model was used for empirical testing. The results show that the safety atmosphere and safety awareness have a direct and significant positive impact on the safety behavior of construction personnel; and safety education acts on safety behavior of construction personnel through safety atmosphere and safety awareness. Research shows that safety education is conducive to the improvement of construction workers' safety behavior and improve safety production capacity.
Man lives with arteriosclerosis, and dies of the complicating thrombosis

Oldgren, J. 2001. Inflammation and coagulation activity in unstable coronary artery disease and the influences of thrombin inhibition. Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Medicine 1103. 68 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 91-554-5182-9. In patients with unstable coronary artery disease, this study evaluated the degree of inflammation and coagulation activity, relations to myocardial cell damage, prognosis, and influences of randomisation to 72 h infusion with three different doses of inogatran, a direct thrombin inhibitor (n=904), or unfractionated heparin (n=305). Anticoagulant treatment effects were evaluated with aPT time. In inogatran treated patients with aPT times ≥ 44 s (median), the 7-days event rate death, myocardial infarction or refractory angina – was 11.6%, compared to 6.6% with aPT times < 44 s (p=0.01). Higher aPT times was related to improved outcome during heparin treatment. Markers of inflammation, i.e. fibrinogen and C-reactive protein (CRP), and coagulation, i.e. prothrombin fragment 1+2 (F1+2), thrombin-antithrombin complex (TAT), soluble fibrin (SF) and D-dimer were analysed in serial samples (n=320). High fibrinogen, F1+2 and D-dimer levels persisted at 30 days. Patients with myocardial damage, detected by elevated troponin, had higher levels of all markers except TAT. Ischemic events occurred at 30 days in 17% of patients with high (pre-treatment top tertile) and 8.5% of patients with lower fibrinogen levels (p=0.03), while high CRP levels only were related to increased mortality. At 30 days, patients with high compared to low pre-treatment levels of TAT or SF had 40% lower event rate. Patients with early decreased compared to raised F1+2 or TAT levels during treatment had 50% lower 30-days event rate (p<0.05). Conclusions: The aPT time is an inappropriate indicator of antithrombotic efficacy. The raise in fibrinogen in the acute phase is sustained, and indicates risk of thrombosis and new ischemic events. The pronounced CRP elevation is transient, but associated with increased mortality. Higher coagulation activity may identify patients with a thrombotic condition as the major cause of instability, who are best responders to anticoagulant therapy. However, reactivation of coagulation activity with raised risk of ischemic events is a concern at cessation of treatment.
Öznitelik Birleştirmeye Dayalı Çok-Dilde El Alfabesi Tanıma

In this paper, we present a fingerspelling recognition module that has been designed to function in a smart system that is intended to act as a communication medium between people with hearing and visual disabilities. The method described is a computer vision based, close to real-time, automatic skin color based model hand gesture recognition module. We analyze and compare the recognition performance of appearance based hand descriptors on a self collected dataset. The dataset contains isolated videos of 88 different signs of the Czech, Turkish and Russian Sign Alphabets from 5 different signers with a total training and test length of 4 hours. On our test sets, we have achieved signer dependent and signer independent fingerspelling recognition rates of %82 and %42, respectively.
THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO LATENT BACKDOOR ATTACKS ON DEEP NEURAL NETWORKS A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE DIVISION OF THE PHYSICAL SCIENCES IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE BY HUIYING LI

Backdoor attacks on deep neural networks (DNNs) are hidden malicious behaviors embedded into DNN models, where misclassification rules are hidden inside normal models, only to be triggered by very specific inputs. When models are compromised, extremely dangerous consequences might happen since DNNs are widely deployed in safety and security-critical areas like self-driving cars. However, these “traditional” backdoors assume a context where users train their own models from scratch, which rarely occurs in practice. Instead, users typically customize “Teacher” models which are pretrained by model providers like Google, through a process called transfer learning. This customization process introduces significant changes to models and disrupts hidden backdoors, greatly reducing the actual impact of backdoors in practice. In this study, we describe latent backdoors, a more powerful and stealthy variant of backdoor attacks that functions under transfer learning. Latent backdoors are incomplete backdoors embedded into a “Teacher” model, and automatically inherited by multiple “Student” models through transfer learning. If any Student models include the label targeted by the backdoor, then its customization process completes the backdoor and makes it active. We show that latent backdoors can be quite effective in a variety of application contexts, and validate its practicality through real-world attacks against traffic sign recognition, iris identification of volunteers, and facial recognition of public figures (politicians). Finally, we evaluate 4 potential defenses, and find that only one is effective in disrupting latent backdoors, but might incur a cost in classification accuracy as tradeoff.
Motion Processing: The Next Breakthrough Function in Handsets

Cell phone manufacturers are seeking new functionality to differentiate their mobile handsets and update relatively primitive interfaces with too many buttons and menus. Motion processing is emerging as the only solution that can deliver a new user interface and experience that will make a specific mobile handset stand out. MotionProcessingTM technology from InvenSenseTM can bring about next generation gesture-based user interface (UI) for menu navigation, enables mobile authentication, enhances location based services (LBS), delivers an immersive gaming experience and improves camera image stabilization (IS). But in order to do this credibly, existing solutions based purely on 3axis accelerometer motion sensing are not sufficient. There is a need for full, six degrees of freedom (6-DoF) motion processing that can precisely translate human motion for the various applications. This paper provides an overview of a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) based 6-axis motion processing solution that can enable these emerging motion-based applications for handsets.

Protecting the Environment by Acquintance and Learning

“Israeli Hope in Academia” is a program, designed by the president of the state of Israel, Reuven Rivlin. The program is based on the perception that Israeli society is changing, from having a clear majority and several minorities, to a society comprised of four principal sectors that are roughly similar in size: secular Jews, religious Jews, Haredi (ultra-orthodox) Jews, and Arabs. The program acts to encourage a more diverse and culturally competent higher education system that promotes partnership. One of the means to achieve that goal is to create meaningful educational interactions between people from academia, and the younger generation of these sectors. Over the past year, students from various faculties in the Holon Institute of Technology (HIT), took part in a course called “Green Ambassadors”, which corresponds with the “Israeli Hope” program. This course was considered an action learning course, which is a course that combines academic learning and social involvement that has an impact on the community. In the course, the students studied environmental issues, and then passed that knowledge on to pupils in the religious elementary school “Yeshurun” in the city of Holon, through enjoyable educational activities. In order to illustrate the environmental topics, and to achieve high participation levels of the pupils, the students created a mobile laboratory containing experiments and demonstrations, in which the pupils took an active part. The final questionnaires, answered by the classes teachers, show high rates of pupil participation, understanding and enjoyment. Thus, the course managed to make a significant impact on the community, and achieve the goals set by the “Israeli Hope” program. This paper will present the “Israeli Hope” program, HIT and the “Green Ambassadors” course, as well as the methodology used to achieve the course’s goals. Finally, this paper will discuss the success levels of the course.
A Scenes-Detection and Recommendation Method Using GPS Information Embedded Photographs from WWW

The sharing of travel photos on web albums, online communities and personal blogs has become increasingly popular (e.g. through Flickr or Facebook web albums) in this age of fast-growing markets for tourism, ever shortening IT development life cycles and ubiquity of digital cameras. The most critical challenge is how to analyze and filter out the useful clues of travel photographs to mine relevant travel information from the vast troves of photographs on the Internet. We design and implemented a system to detect the scenes and recommand their rank with a experiment which is restricted the range of photographs to those taken in Taiwan.
