Event Recognition Based on a Local Space-Time Interest Points and Self-Organization Feature Map Method

This paper proposes a novel method based on local space-time interest points and self-organization feature map to recognize and retrieval complex events in real movies. In this method, an individual video sequence is represented as a SOFM density map then we integrate such density map with SVM for recognition events. Local space-time features are introduced to capture the local events in video and can be adapted to size and velocity of the pattern of the event. To evaluate effectiveness of this method, this paper uses the public Hollywood dataset, in this dataset the shot sequences has collected from 32 different Hollywood movies and it includes 8 event classes. The presented result justify the proposed method explicitly improve the average accuracy and average precision compared to other relative approaches.

Value of Intraoperative Parathyroid Hormone Assay during Parathyroidectomy in Dialysis and Renal Transplant Patients with Secondary and Tertiary Hyperparathyroidism

&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Background:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; In dialysis and renal transplant patients with secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism (HPT), the value of intraoperative parathyroid hormone (ioPTH) during parathyroidectomy (PTX) and its association with long-term PTH levels are unknown. The present study aims at evaluating the relationship of ioPTH with long-term PTH levels post-PTX in dialysis and renal transplant patients in a single-center study. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Methods:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; The ioPTH was measured in 57 dialysis patients (33 females and 24 males) and 18 renal transplant recipients (12 males and 6 females) who underwent PTX from 2005 to 2015 for refractory HPT. Near-total PTX was performed in 56 patients and total PTX with autotransplantation in 20 patients. The PTH monitoring included 3 samples: pre-intubation, 10- and 20-min (pre-ioPTH, 10-ioPTH, and 20-ioPTH) post parathyroid gland excision. Patients were followed up for up to 5 years. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; In the dialysis group, the median (25th–75th percentile) pre-, 10-, and 20-ioPTH levels were 1,447 pg/mL (938–2,176), 143 pg/mL (78–244) and 112 pg/mL (59–153) respectively. In the renal transplant group, pre-, 10-, and 20-ioPTH levels were 273 pg/mL (180–403), 42 pg/mL (25–72), and 34 pg/mL (23–45) respectively. All patients in the transplant group had a functional kidney transplant at the time of PTX with a median serum creatinine of 1.3 mg/dL (1.2–1.7) and estimated glomerular filtration rate of 55 mL/min (40–60). The median time between renal transplant and PTX surgeries was 22 months (7–81). The last median follow-up PTH level was 66 pg/mL (15–201) in the dialysis group and 54 pg/mL (17–72) in the transplant group (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; = 0.438). The mean time for last PTH post-PTX was 2.3 ± 2.0 years. In both groups, there was no significant difference between 20-ioPTH and any-time post-PTX PTH levels (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; = 0.6 and &lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; = 0.9). Nineteen patients (25%) were readmitted within 90 days because of hypocalcemia. One patient in the dialysis group was readmitted for post-PTX hematoma evacuation. No patient required repeat PTX because of recurrent HPT that was refractory to medical therapy. Only one dialysis patient required repeat PTX because the first procedure failed. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; The 20-ioPTH is a good indicator of long-term PTH levels in dialysis and renal transplant patients. Hypocalcemia is a common complication, particularly in dialysis patients, and it is the main reason for readmission after PTX. Hypoparathyroidism is a potential concern after PTX in dialysis patients.
Point mass dynamics on spherical hypersurfaces

The equations of motion are derived for a system of point masses on the (hyper)surface <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" overflow="scroll"> <mml:msup> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi mathvariant="double-struck">S</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> </mml:msup> </mml:math> of a sphere embedded in <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" overflow="scroll"> <mml:msup> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi mathvariant="double-struck">R</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> <mml:mo>+</mml:mo> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:msup> </mml:math> for any dimension n &gt; 1. Owing to the symmetry of the surface, the equations take a particularly simple form when using the Cartesian coordinates of <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" overflow="scroll"> <mml:msup> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi mathvariant="double-struck">R</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> <mml:mo>+</mml:mo> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:msup> </mml:math> . The constraint that the distance of the j th mass ∥ r j ∥ from the origin remains constant (i.e. each mass remains on the surface) is automatically satisfied by the equations of motion. Moreover, the equations are a Hamiltonian system with a conserved energy as well as a host of conserved angular momenta. Several examples are illustrated in dimensions n = 2 (the sphere) and n = 3 (the glome). This article is part of the theme issue ‘Topological and geometrical aspects of mass and vortex dynamics’.
The Human Personality Development

The author are findings of the revolutionary theory of psychoanalysis, and it is indeed a “great” idea in human personality. Sigmund Freud’s perspective of human personality is a grand theory explain from the interactions among what he proposed as the three fundamental structures of the human mind: the id, ego, superego and the consciousness, the pre-consciousness and the unconsciousness. And the origins and course of human personality development, the nature of mind, the abnormal aspects of personality and how human personality can be changed by therapy. Additionally, the study the main factors that to integrate method human personality development of Sigmund Freud and Theravāda Buddhism perspective is mind development from the psychotherapy. The psychotherapy aims to improve a human beings well-being and mental health, to resolve or mitigate troublesome behaviors, beliefs, compulsions, thoughts or emotion and to improve relationships and social skills.
Regulatory logic, thresholds and epigenetic memory:  how cis-regulatory landscapes tune gene activity during mammalian development

Development of multicellular organisms relies on differential gene activation in a single genome. In response to multiple quantitative signals, cell-type specific transcriptional programs are established that determine cell identify. Their perturbation can result in pathologies such as cancer. Large cis-regulatory landscapes integrate information on cell state, space and time to precisely tune the activity of developmental genes. How cis-regulatory landscapes decode multiple quantitative signals remains poorly understood. CisTune aims at gaining a functional and mechanistic understanding of how regulator levels are sensed, how the input from multiple regulators is integrated and how information is processed by cis-regulatory landscapes.
CisTune will use the Xist locus as a model, which controls X-chromosome inactivation, an essential developmental process in mammals. Xist's cis-regulatory landscape integrates multiple quantitative input signals that transmit information on sex and developmental time, to ensure up-regulation from one X chromosome in each female cell. In CisTune we will thus study an essential process in great depth to identify regulatory principles that control activity of the mammalian genome during development.
CisTune will use an interdisciplinary approach at the intersection of systems biology, epigenetics and gene regulation, where highly multiplexed perturbation experiments of endogenous genes are interpreted with the help of mathematical models. We will build on recent technological breakthroughs, including single-cell genomics and high-throughput CRISPR screens, which we will complement with a new approach to functionally link sequence elements to their input signals. CisTune has the potential to overcome challenges that have prevented mammalian quantitative biology of gene regulation to becoming more broadly applied and will set the stage for investigating gene regulation across multiple layers of complexity.
Numerical simulation of spectrum wave transformation and berthing stability in Jinhai Bay

The convention method of berthing stability study by physical scaled model was replaced by purely numerical model based on modified Boussinesq type wave equations in Jinhai Bay, Guangdong. Directional spectrum waves of mixed wind wave and surge wave was generated in pseudo three dimensional numerical wave basin. In front of vertical walls, typical reflection coefficient of 0.80 was introduced, and around the sloped breakwaters the reflection coefficients of 0.50~0.60 were applied. The calculation domain was located in Da-Ya Bay, with directional mixed wave incoming from WSW (west-south-west). By purely numerical method, the berthing stability was studied in accordance with the Code of Hydrology for Sea Harbor, China (“the Code”). It is concluded the numerical model is of satisfactory accuracy and can be of engineering reference value in the design and planning of coastal structures and harbors.

Identification in Structural Vector Autoregressive Models with Structural Changes, with an Application to US Monetary Policy

A growing line of research makes use of structural changes and different volatility regimes found in the data in a constructive manner to improve the identification of structural parameters in structural vector autoregressions (SVARs). A standard assumption made in the literature is that the reduced form unconditional error covariance matrix varies while the structural parameters remain constant. Under this hypothesis, it is possible to identify the SVAR without needing to resort to additional restrictions. With macroeconomic data, the assumption that the transmission mechanism of the shocks does not vary across volatility regimes is debatable. We derive novel necessary and sufficient rank conditions for local identification of SVARs, where both the error covariance matrix and the structural parameters are allowed to change across volatility regimes. Our approach generalizes the existing literature on ‘identification through changes in volatility’ to a broader framework and opens up interesting possibilities for practitioners. An empirical illustration focuses on a small monetary policy SVAR of the US economy and suggests that monetary policy has become more effective at stabilizing the economy since the 1980s.

Synthesis and evaluation of 123/131I-Iochlonicotinamide as a novel SPECT probe for malignant melanoma

Malignant melanoma expresses a highly aggressive metastasis. Early diagnosis of malignant melanoma is important for patient survival. Radiolabeled benzamides and nicotinamides have been reported to be attractive candidates for malignant melanoma diagnosis as they bind to melanin, a characteristic substance that displays in malignant melanoma, and show high tumor accumulation and retention. Herein, we designed and synthesized a novel (123/131)I-labeled nicotinamide derivative that specifically binds to melanin. (123/131)I-Iochlonicotinamide was prepared with good radiochemical yield (50-70%, decay corrected) and high specific radioactivity (50-80 GBq/μmol). (131)I-Iochlonicotinamide exhibited good in vitro stability (radiochemical purity >95% after a 24-h incubation) in human serum. High uptake of (123/131)I-Iochlonicotinamide in B16F0 melanoma cells compared to that in A375 amelanotic cells demonstrated its selective binding to melanin. Intravenous administration of (123/131)I-Iochlonicotinamide in a melanoma-bearing mouse model revealed high uptake in melanotic melanoma and high tumor-to-muscle ratio. MicroSPECT scan of (123/131)I-Iochlonicotinamide injected mice also displayed high contrast tumor imaging as compared with normal organs. The radiation-absorbed dose projection for the administration of (131)I-Iochlonicotinamide to human was based on the results of biodistribution study. The effective dose appears to be approximately 0.44 mSv/MBq(-1). The specific binding of (123/131)I-Iochlonicotinamide to melanin along with a prolonged tumor retention and acceptable projected human dosimetry suggest that it may be a promising theranostic agent for treating malignant melanoma.

Obtaining DNA Samples from Sensitive and Endangered Bird Species: A Comparison of Saliva and Blood Samples

Los métodos utilizados para recolectar muestras biológicas de aves para análisis genéticos deberían permitir la obtención de ADN de alta calidad en cantidades suficientes, limitando al mismo tiempo los efectos negativos a los individuos muestreados. En este contexto, evaluamos el uso potencial del muestreo de saliva (usando hisopos bucales) como una alternativa al muestreo de sangre (supuestamente más estresante) en la paloma coronita Patagioenas leucocephala, una especie endémica del Caribe, casi amenazada, y conocida por ser altamente sensible a la captura y manejo. En el estudio se usaron muestras recolectadas de 28 aves adultas capturadas en la naturaleza. Comparamos cuantitativa y cualitativamente extractos de ADN, la amplificación de dos genes mitocondriales (∼430 pb y 1040 pb) y el sexado molecular entre la saliva y la sangre. Como era de esperar, las muestras de sangre produjeron mayores cantidades de ADN y con mayor peso molecular que los hisopos bucales. Sin embargo, los hisopos bucales resultaron ser tan confiables como las muestras de sangre como fuente de material genético para secuenciar el ADNmt. Por otro lado, las muestras de frotis bucales pueden requerir un protocolo de PCR mejorado para sexar a todos los individuos. Discutimos el uso de hisopos bucales frente a la toma de muestras de sangre como una forma de obtener ADN en relación con los objetivos de la investigación y la minimización del estrés y los efectos nocivos.—Cambrone, C., Motreuil, S., Reyes, F.O., Landestroy, M.A., Cézilly, F. y Bezault, E.

Systematic genetic code reprogramming

We will build an orthogonal translation system for the encoded synthesis of unnatural polymers in cells. The steps towards this goal are each significant and substantial and, importantly, our solutions for each step are both scalable and modular with those for other steps in the process.   In the first step we create a scalable and modular route to multiple new aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase/tRNA pairs that are orthogonal to each other and to endogenous synthetases and tRNAs.  In a second step we engineer a cell for orthogonal translation to enable each orthogonal tRNA to quantitatively and efficiently decode a distinct quadruplet codon.  In a third step we invent a modular and scalable route to program the active sites of mutually orthogonal synthetases to uniquely recognize distinct unnatural building blocks.  The modular combination of the advances in each step enables the conversion of genetic code expansion with one or two unnatural amino acids into a scalable technology for genetic code reprogramming, facilitating the encoded synthesis of unnatural polymers using a synthetic genetic code with more encoded monomers than the natural genetic code.

Epidemiological, clinical and virological characteristics of four cases of monkeypox support transmission through sexual contact, Italy, May 2022

Since May 2022, an outbreak of monkeypox has been ongoing in non-endemic countries. We report four cases in Italy in young adult men reporting condomless sexual intercourse. The patients are in good clinical condition with no need for specific antiviral drugs. Biological samples from seminal fluid were positive for monkeypox viral DNA. For many other viruses found in semen there is no evidence of sexual transmission. The possibility of sexual transmission of monkeypox virus needs to be investigated.
Robotic automation modules for production

RAMPup aims to improve European SME production competitiveness by effectively decreasing the integration effort needed for automating small production lines. A framework and infrastructure for modular industrial automation systems will be developed and applied to eight use-cases from four European end users, carefully selected to require a broad range of processes. Technologies for automating these processes exist, but are too inflexible and expensive for the business case for automation to be viable, certainly in SME contexts. Four demonstrators will be realized and brought to TRL7 proving their performance in real operational environments at end user sites.
The methodology involves creating manufacturer-independent process modules which are self-contained: hardware, software and process functionality; wrapped to be “plug-n-play” with all other modules in the set and with the framework platform. We anticipate that many modules will be based on existing technologies, completed and wrapped to become RAMPup modules. A repository of process modules at this level, accepted as usable by SIs, will greatly reduce the customization needed for new automation installations, thus reducing the cost to end-users. Modularisation also allows physical reconfiguration of the workcell and re-use of component modules across very different product variants.
Beyond the technical realization of the modular automation framework, RAMPup aims to open a new market allowing developers of automation solutions to deploy, distribute and commercialize their products. RAMPup will demonstrate the business perspectives within the project and thus convince module developers and system integrators to enter the new market.
The ambition in RAMPup is thus not only to create eight functioning robot workcells at end-user sites but also to provide a fast-track for SME robot developers to get their technologies to market.
