Euler Principal Component Analysis

Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is perhaps the most prominent learning tool for dimensionality reduction in pattern recognition and computer vision. However, the ? 2-norm employed by standard PCA is not robust to outliers. In this paper, we propose a kernel PCA method for fast and robust PCA, which we call Euler-PCA (e-PCA). In particular, our algorithm utilizes a robust dissimilarity measure based on the Euler representation of complex numbers. We show that Euler-PCA retains PCA's desirable properties while suppressing outliers. Moreover, we formulate Euler-PCA in an incremental learning framework which allows for efficient computation. In our experiments we apply Euler-PCA to three different computer vision applications for which our method performs comparably with other state-of-the-art approaches.
Understanding the dynamic determinants of glucose homeostasis and social capability to promote healthy and active aging

The Gluco-Psychosocial Axis (GPA) concerns the interplay of factors determining glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity and the neuroendocrine response resulting from exposure to psychosocial stress. A sub-optimal GPA influences the development of type 2 diabetes and related impairments with varying degrees of interplay between genetics and early growth (particularly adiposity and cognitive function), and social, occupational, and other modifiable lifestyle factors. Many exposures apply from  throughout life, and potential exposure to a sub-optimal GPA lead to a cumulative risk of ill health and decreased economic prospects for the ageing. Understanding these factors, interactions and extent they contribute to the preservation of glucose homeostasis and psychosocial functioning is important for the development of preventive and therapeutic measures promoting healthy and active ageing. DynaHEALTH will contribute to implementing a dynamic model for early GPA risk identification and validation, allowing development of risk-based prevention tools and policies that will help to inform policy makers on the best periods to invest in cost-effective and sustainable healthcare strategies. DynaHEALTH comprises 13 partners from academic/private sectors and will leverage data from 21 birth cohorts and intervention studies, involving 1.5 million Europeans. By identifying biological and psychosocial determinants of the GPA and characterising metabolic and epigenetic factors, whilst quantifying the impact of exposure to an optimal lifelong GPA, DynaHEALTH will influence weight gain, glucose homeostasis, employability, health deterioration and disease accumulation as individuals age. DynaHEALTH includes the potential to exploit the results for new technologies and strategies, adding to our understanding of pathways related to healthy and active ageing, underpinning options for targeted, personalised healthcare and mitigating the effects of sub-optimal GPA on ageing.
Hei10-Mediated elevations in bread wheat recombination

The increasing demand for food, in the context of a changing climate and deteriorating environments, will be one of the major challenges facing society in the coming decades. However, as breeding a new crop variety currently takes on average 10 years, the predicted changes in food demand and climate are only several breeding cycles away. Meiotic recombination and crossover is a major tool used in crop breeding when diverse strains are hybridized in order to combine useful traits. Therefore, in the current climate of change, there is an urgent need to reduce the time needed to produce new crop varieties, and meiotic recombination is one target to achieve this. In my ERC Consolidator grant SynthHotSpot, we are investigating the molecular control of meiotic recombination using the model plant Arabidopsis. We have identified the gene HEI10, which encodes a conserved meiotic ubiquitin E3 ligase, as a major regulator of crossover numbers. Importantly, during this work we discovered that HEI10 is highly dosage-sensitive and introduction of additional copies of this gene more than doubled crossovers throughout the Arabidopsis chromosome arms. As HEI10 is conserved between plants, fungi and animals, this may provide a gene target to manipulate crossover numbers in diverse species. In light of the demands on breeding companies to develop new, high yielding crop varieties, HEIREC will fast-track the development of a new platform technology to increase recombination frequency during breeding, via introduction of additional HEI10 copies. Within HEIREC we will generate proof of concept data where we increase HEI10 copy number within bread wheat, in order to increase recombination and thereby accelerate crop improvement. Bread wheat is a major crop globally where recombination level limits strain improvement. Therefore, by increasing recombination frequency during breeding, HEIREC will accelerate the development of new crop varieties and contribute to ensuring food security.
Study on the Interactive Development Between Venture Capital and China's Information Industry

We select the Information industry and the total amount of venture capital,during 1998 and 2011 in our country,to analyze their interactive relationship in the way of co-integration analysis and vector error correction model in this paper. The results show that: there is a long-term equilibrium relationship between them; In the long-term and the short-term,the venture capital is the significant Granger cause of Information industry,that's the venture capital promotes the development of information industry; but not vice versa,the development of information industry does not contribute significantly to the development of venture capital. The empirical evidence does not support the coordinated development relationship between them.
Bathymetric distribution of the Chilean red sea urchin (Loxechinus albus, Molina) in the inner seas of northwest Patagonia: Implications for management

a b s t r a c t One of the primary invertebrates in Chilean benthic fisheries is the red sea urchin Loxechinus albus Molina, 1782. Currently, the main fishing grounds for this urchin are located in the inner seas of Patagonia, an area otherwise known as the southern channels and fiords. Anecdotal information supports the notion that this species of urchin lives between the surface waters and a depth of 340 m. Because of this supposed abundance, the fishery is in expansion. We used divers handling submarine cameras and a ROV-type LBV (Little Benthic Vehicle), operating between the surface and 105 m depth, to study the number and density per transect, substrate and depth strata of red sea urchin in fishing areas surrounding the Corcovado Gulf, to the South of Chiloe Island and in the Guaitecas Archipelago. Knowledge of the bathymetric and geographic distribution are important in quantitative assessments and the development of strategies to conserve marine resources, particularly for Loxechinus albus, which is the subject of intense exploitation in the continental seas of Chile. The results from this research show that the proportion of sea urchins inhabits in shallow waters (0-30 m) is 97.7% of the total observed population, and only 2.5% of the total sampled sea urchins was found in deeper waters (below 30 m) in the Guaitecas Archipelago. In the southern area of Chiloe Island, 76.6% was observed inhabits in shallow strata (0-30 m) and 23.4% was found deeper strata (>31 m). In each case, deep red sea urchins were significantly associated with hard bottoms (rocks, boulders and stones). The percentage living in deep waters is considered insufficient to replace the individuals removed by the shallow water fishery, and we suggest considering the bathymetric distribution in the Management Plan for this resource.
Analysis of Emulsified Renewable Fuel Injector in Burner Combustion: An Overview

The use of energy and natural resources being increase due to the growth of economy and world population. One of the natural resources is being consumed heavily is diesel for transportation and burner combustion. However, the major product results from the combustions of diesel are NOx and PM emissions. This review paper focuses on the influences of the emulsified renewable biodiesel fuel such as crude palm oil and waste cooking oil with the concept fuel-air-water internally rapid mixing injector for the open burner system. Water is introduced directly into the combustion field. The concept of rapid mixing from biodiesel and water are controlling of the combustion process in order to minimize the emissions. The water content in the emulsified biodiesel fuels effectively in the reduction of NOx emissions especially the high blending biodiesel. Moreover, emulsion technology significantly reduced particulate matter (PM) emissions as compared to the standard biodiesel fuel combustion. The parameters include equivalent ratio, water content in biodiesel-water, and spray characteristics such as spray penetration, spray angle and spray area.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REGIONAL CELL MANAGEMENT IN A SATELLITE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

In a satellite communication system (10), communication channels are dynamically assigned in real-time based on actual demand using a regionalized channel assignment and reuse scheme. The tradeoff between system capacity and channel interference is optimized through the use of interlocking local regions (81, 82, 83). Satellite communication stations (12) within a radio line-of-sight of each other make up each local region. The communication stations of a local region change as the communication stations move through orbital positions. Channel reuse rules are adapted to system load and demand for services. Each communication station (12) establishes its local region and notifies the other communication stations within its local region whenever it assigns a communication channel to a subscriber unit. Channel assignments within each local region are maintained locally by the defining communication station.

A qualitative study on the exploration of challenges to the implementation of the Safety Management System in aircraft maintenance organizations in Turkey

Abstract Safety management has recently started using a paradigm that ‘sees the world as it is’ rather than ‘prescribing how it should be’. The Safety Management System (SMS), a product of this paradigm shift, has fairly new and different characteristics. These changes are expected to pose a number of challenges to the successful implementation of the SMS. This qualitative research study sets out to explore challenges to the implementation of the SMS in aircraft maintenance organizations in Turkey, with reference to the perceptions of Quality Management Systems (QMSs) and SMS experts working at these maintenance organizations. Qualitative data was collected from thirty participants through an open-ended questionnaire. Both inductive and deductive methods were used for the data analysis. The results suggest that the SMS entails a cultural transformation and is likely to bring about certain challenges because of its new and different characteristics. It is concluded that significant challenges may derive from a poor positive safety culture. Top management support and the practices of the civil aviation authority also have the potential to pose challenges. Other challenges are expected to result from SMS training and the need for the integration of stakeholder SMSs. The research results are expected to improve the success of the SMS and hence safety in aircraft maintenance. The results may also encourage the regulatory authorities to take measures to improve the success of the SMS in the launch of State Safety Programs (SSPs).
Chains of Dependency: On the Disenchantment and the Illusion of Being Free at Last (Part 2)

This paper is the sequel to Part 1, which appeared in this Journal, Vol. 46 No. 2, 2012. Following Cavell and his insistence that we should not try to escape from the existential conditions we find ourselves in and look for false certainties, the relevance of embracing a particular stance is elaborated. A commitment to giving substance to an ideal of the good life is neither an injustice towards the other nor an ignorance of her freedom. On the contrary, here responsibility is accepted and at the same time it is acknowledged that we always have only the particular points of departure that we contingently start from. Coming to terms with this kind of dependency constitutes living out the scepticism that is implied by our being human: the logic of this is given along with our human condition.
Prediction of the processing factor for pesticides in apple juice by principal component analysis and multiple linear regression

The main objective of this work was to establish a mathematical function that correlates pesticide residue levels in apple juice with the levels of the pesticides applied on the raw fruit, taking into account some of their physicochemical properties such as water solubility, the octanol/water partition coefficient, the organic carbon partition coefficient, vapour pressure and density. A mixture of 12 pesticides was applied to an apple tree; apples were collected after 10 days of application. After harvest, apples were treated with a mixture of three post-harvest pesticides and the fruits were then processed in order to obtain apple juice following a routine industrial process. The pesticide residue levels in the apple samples were analysed using two multi-residue methods based on LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS. The concentration of pesticides was determined in samples derived from the different steps of processing. The processing factors (the coefficient between residue level in the processed commodity and the residue level in the commodity to be processed) obtained for the full juicing process were found to vary among the different pesticides studied. In order to investigate the relationships between the levels of pesticide residue found in apple juice samples and their physicochemical properties, principal component analysis (PCA) was performed using two sets of samples (one of them using experimental data obtained in this work and the other including the data taken from the literature). In both cases the correlation was found between processing factors of pesticides in the apple juice and the negative logarithms (base 10) of the water solubility, octanol/water partition coefficient and organic carbon partition coefficient. The linear correlation between these physicochemical properties and the processing factor were established using a multiple linear regression technique.
B cell immunodominance in antiviral immunity

This proposal aims at understanding how B cell specificity and immunodominance shape primary and secondary humoral responses to influenza A virus. Influenza A virus is a relevant human pathogen causing a considerable yearly death toll and economic burden to society. Immunodominance is a major driving force of adaptive immunity and defines the hierarchical recognition of epitopes on the same antigen. Previous studies analysing B cell dynamics in primary and secondary responses have been mainly focusing on simple antigens and competition between B cell clones of the same family. Investigation using complex antigens and examining interclonal competition are surprisingly scarce.  Influenza hemagglutinin (HA) is a prime candidate to study immunodominance in B cells. I have generated a set of mutant viruses that will allow for an unprecedented investigation into immunodominance and B cell interclonal competition in primary and secondary responses. These viruses can be used to isolate and enumerate antibody and B cells specific for different epitopes on the same complex antigen (HA). I will use these unique tools in combination with state-of-the-art immunological methods, multi-colour flow cytometry and single cells RNA sequencing paired with B cell receptor sequencing to gain fundamental insights into B cell regulation and anti-viral humoral responses. I will i) study the link between B cell receptor characteristics, specificity and B cell fate decisions in primary responses, ii) characterize the relative contribution of pre-existing B cells, serum antibodies and CD4 T cells for immunodominance of secondary responses, iii) define immunodominance in human individuals, repeatedly exposed to influenza virus.  I expect this project to critically improve our understanding of basic B cell biology with the long-term benefit of improving current vaccination against variable viral pathogens.
Real-time Automated Surveys among Low-literate Masses using Voice-based Telephone Services

This paper explores the use of Interactive Voice Response (IVR) systems for automatic surveys, data validation and prescreening. We report a deployment aimed at employing voice-based, telephone services to conduct automated, structured interviews of low-literate users and to advertise relevant development-related services to them. Survey calls were placed to 67,000 vocational training recipients to validate their phone numbers and to find out their current job status. Of these, 45,500 answered these calls and 11,500 (25%) responded to the survey questions. Manually conducted follow-up interviews found more than 70% of the survey results to be consistent and also revealed the impact of phone sharing (among family members), call timing, simplicity of interface and surveyor-participant interpretation mismatch regarding certain survey questions on participant involvement and the validity of survey results. The paper discusses the use of IVR to collect information, possible system design considerations and factors affecting the accuracy of gathered information.
Stimboy: your stimulating bot

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a tool to stimulate non-invasively the brain, employed in Research and Clinics (e.g. depression, chronic pain, stroke, dementia, etc).
Low spatial resolution, time-consuming rigid protocol and the continuous need of the presence of an expert has dramatically contained TMS research impact and therapeutic diffusion.
STIMBOY project objectives are: 1) improve the robot-TMS developed within the ERC RESHAPE project to realize a TMS-droid (STIMBOY) that fulfills the need of automatization and extreme easiness-of-use of non-expert TMS clinical end-user (clinical configuration), and the need of precision and flexibility of TMS scientist (research configuration); 2) show the commercial feasibility of the technology (from the perspective of a cost-benefit analysis through health economics), 3) design a route to market for the technology (including market analysis and competitive landscape), 4) strengthen the IP position, 5) investigate the likely regulatory roadmap and 6) draft an exploitation plan consolidated in a business plan.
Robotic TMS research (e.g. >1100 TMS papers/year indexed by PubMed) and therapeutic market-size (2.5 billion € only for drug-resistant depression) is not covered by the few commercial devices, upon which STIMBOY will have several advantages: lower size and weight, automatic neuronavigation implemented by the robot itself, wider workspace, the possibility to perform double-coil protocols, higher safety due to torque sensors embedded in each joint and innovative features of the control algorithm, higher camera frequency and better performance/cost ratio. The project is implemented by the same multidisciplinary team that developed the ERC RESHAPE robot-TMS, with the help of a consultant for exploitation.
STIMBOY will make TMS therapy easier and cheaper, thus available to more citizens and will prompt neuroscience knowledge and future therapeutic applications, favoring the society as a whole.
