description: Nowadays actions are increasingly being handled in electronic ways, instead of physical interaction. From earlier times biometrics is used in the authentication of a person. It recognizes a person by using a human trait associated with it like eyes (by calculating the distance between the eyes) and using hand gestures, fingerprint detection, face detection etc. Advantages of using these traits for identification are that they uniquely identify a person and cannot be forgotten or lost. These are unique features of a human being which are being used widely to make the human life simpler. Hand gesture recognition system is a powerful tool that supports efficient interaction between the user and the computer. The main moto of hand gesture recognition research is to create a system which can recognise specific hand gestures and use them to convey useful information for device control. This paper presents an experimental study over the feasibility of principal component analysis in hand gesture recognition system. PCA is a powerful tool for analyzing data. The primary goal of PCA is dimensionality reduction. Frames are extracted from the Sheffield KInect Gesture (SKIG) dataset. The implementation is done by creating a training set and then training the recognizer. It uses Eigen space by processing the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the images in training set. Euclidean distance with the threshold value is used as similarity metric to recognize the gestures. The experimental results show that PCA is feasible to be used for hand gesture recognition system.

description: Parton distribution functions are crucial to understand the internal kinematics of hadrons. There are currently a large number of distribution functions on the market, and thanks to today's technology, performing computational analysis of the differential cross-sections has become more accessible. Despite technological advances, accurately accessing to the internal structure of hadrons remains a difficult task from a theoretical point of view. In this work, we analyze the impact on the differential cross-sections when updating the sets of parton distribution and fragmentation functions, for the production of one hadron plus a direct photon at the energy scale of RHIC and LHC experiments.

description: Context. Galactic cosmic rays are widely assumed to arise from diffusive shock acceleration, specifically at shocks in supernova remnants (SNRs). These shocks expand in a complex environment, particularly in the core-collapse scenario as these SNRs evolve inside the wind-blown bubbles created by their progenitor stars. The cosmic rays (CRs) at core-collapse SNRs may carry spectral signatures of that complexity. Aims. We study particle acceleration in the core-collapse SNR of a progenitor with initial mass 60 $M_\odot$ and realistic stellar evolution. The SNR shock interacts with discontinuities inside the wind-blown bubble and generates several transmitted and reflected shocks. We analyse their impact on particle spectra and the resulting emission from the remnant. Methods. The hydrodynamic equations for the evolution of SNR inside the pre-supernova circumstellar medium have been solved simultaneously with the transport equation for cosmic rays in test-particle approximation and with the induction equation for the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) in 1-D spherical symmetry. Results. The evolution of core-collapse SNRs inside complex wind-blown bubbles modifies the spectra of both the particles and their emission. We have found softer particle spectra with spectral indices close to 2.5 during shock propagation inside the shocked wind, and this softness persists at later evolutionary stages. Further, our calculated total production spectrum released into the interstellar medium demonstrates spectral consistency at high energy with the galactic CRs injection spectrum, required in propagation models. The magnetic field structure effectively influences the emission morphology of SNR as it governs the transportation of particles and the synchrotron emissivity.

description: Formulation of food is a combination of nutritionally required chemicals for human
 body. Consumption of nutritionally inadequate diets results in infant malnutrition in
 Ethiopia and other developing countries. This study aimed to formulate
 complementary foods from blend of orange fleshed sweet potato (OFSP), brown teff
 (BT) and dark red kidney beans (DRKB) for infants aged 6 – 23 months. The DesignExpert 6.0.8 Software was used to formulate flour blends. Proximate composition,
 mineral profile and anti-nutrient characterizations of flour blends were determined by
 using standard methods. The crude protein, crude fat, available carbohydrate and
 energy contents of raw flour blends varied from 4.90 ± 0.16 – 14.25 ± 0.16%,
 1.63 ± 0.28 – 1.99 ± 0.41%, 67.10 ± 0.08 – 76.29 ± 0.12% and 339.07 ± 0.31 –
 343.63 ± 0.15 Kcal/100 g, respectively. The crude protein, crude fat, available
 carbohydrate and energy contents of extruded blends varied from 3.65 ± 0.10 –
 12.41 ± 0.10%, 0.16 ± 0.01 – 0.31 ± 0.01%, 72.66 ± 0.04 – 83.96 ± 0.07% and
 343.07±0.05 – 356.74±0.01 Kcal/100 g, respectively. The crude protein, crude fat,
 available carbohydrate and energy contents of drum dried blends varied from
 4.45±0.02 – 14.08±0.03%, 1.21±0.03 – 1.70±0.05%, 69.30±0.02 – 80.45±0.02%
 and 347.20±0.02 – 356.57±0.01 Kcal/100 g, respectively. The drum dried products
 meet the recommended daily intake of protein, carbohydrate, energy and potassium
 for infants. They also meet the recommended daily intake of phytate (varied from
 64.64±2.24 – 124.78±2.96 mg/100 g), tannin (varied from 209±0.25 – 557±0.45
 mg/100 mg) and oxalate (varied from 150±0.02 – 399.19±0.36 mg/100 g). Their
 sensory acceptance varied from like slightly (4.88 ± 0.70) to like moderately
 (6.25±0.20) on the 7-point hedonic scale. However, the products are in short of
 meeting some of the recommendations given by international standards regarding
 daily intake of fats and minerals. Therefore, it requires to further enhancement the
 new food by including studied amount of vegetable oil and other micronutrient dense
 foodstuffs.

description: Background: Commonly used chemotherapies can be toxic to the ovaries. To the authors’ knowledge, the majority of studies evaluating receipt of fertility counseling for women in their reproductive years have been performed in specific settings, thereby limiting generalizability. Methods: A nationwide sample of US women diagnosed with breast cancer before age 45 years completed a survey assessing the prevalence of fertility counseling. Age-adjusted log-binomial regression was used to estimate prevalence ratios (PRs) and 95% CIs for fertility counseling. Results: Among 432 survivors diagnosed between 2004 and 2011, 288 (67%) had not discussed the effects of treatment on fertility with a health care provider before or during treatment. Fertility discussion was associated with younger age (PR, 3.49 [95% CI, 2.66-4.58] for aged <35 years vs ≥40 years) and lower parity (PR, 1.81 [95% CI, 1.29-2.53] for parity 1 vs 2). Approximately 20% of respondents reported that they were interested in future fertility (87 of 432 respondents) at the time of their diagnosis, but not all of these individuals (66 of 87 respondents) received counseling regarding the impact of treatment on their fertility, and few (8 of 87 respondents) used fertility preservation strategies. Among 68 women with a fertility interest who provided reasons for not taking steps to preserve fertility, reasons cited included concern for an adverse impact on cancer treatment (56%), lack of knowledge (26%), decision to not have a child (24%), and cost (18%). Conclusions: Across multiple treatment settings, the majority of women of reproductive age who are diagnosed with breast cancer did not discuss fertility with a health care provider or use fertility preservation strategies. Discussing the potential impact of cancer treatment on future fertility is an important aspect of patient education.

description: Background: Models that accurately predict risk of breast cancer are needed to help younger women make decisions about when to begin screening. Premenopausal concentrations of circulating anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), a biomarker of ovarian reserve, and testosterone have been positively associated with breast cancer risk in prospective studies. We assessed whether adding AMH and/or testosterone to the Gail model improves its prediction performance for women aged 35-50. Methods: In a nested case-control study including ten prospective cohorts (1762 invasive cases/1890 matched controls) with pre-diagnostic serum/plasma samples, we estimated relative risks (RR) for the biomarkers and Gail risk factors using conditional logistic regression and random-effects meta-analysis. Absolute risk models were developed using these RR estimates, attributable risk fractions calculated using the distributions of the risk factors in the cases from the consortium, and population-based incidence and mortality rates. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to compare the discriminatory accuracy of the models with and without biomarkers. Results: The AUC for invasive breast cancer including only the Gail risk factor variables was 55.3 (95% CI 53.4, 57.1). The AUC increased moderately with the addition of AMH (AUC 57.6, 95% CI 55.7, 59.5), testosterone (AUC 56.2, 95% CI 54.4, 58.1), or both (AUC 58.1, 95% CI 56.2, 59.9). The largest AUC improvement (4.0) was among women without a family history of breast cancer. Conclusions: AMH and testosterone moderately increase the discriminatory accuracy of the Gail model among women aged 35-50. We observed the largest AUC increase for women without a family history of breast cancer, the group that would benefit most from improved risk prediction because early screening is already recommended for women with a family history.

description: Background: Parity is widely recognized as protective for breast cancer, but breast cancer risk may be increased shortly after childbirth. Whether this risk varies with breastfeeding, family history of breast cancer, or specific tumor subtype has rarely been evaluated. Objective: To characterize breast cancer risk in relation to recent childbirth. Design: Pooled analysis of individual-level data from 15 prospective cohort studies. Setting: The international Premenopausal Breast Cancer Collaborative Group. Participants: Women younger than 55 years. Measurements: During 9.6 million person-years of follow-up, 18 826 incident cases of breast cancer were diagnosed. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs for breast cancer were calculated using Cox proportional hazards regression. Results: Compared with nulliparous women, parous women had an HR for breast cancer that peaked about 5 years after birth (HR, 1.80 [95% CI, 1.63 to 1.99]) before decreasing to 0.77 (CI, 0.67 to 0.88) after 34 years. The association crossed over from positive to negative about 24 years after birth. The overall pattern was driven by estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer; no crossover was seen for ER-negative cancer. Increases in breast cancer risk after childbirth were pronounced when combined with a family history of breast cancer and were greater for women who were older at first birth or who had more births. Breastfeeding did not modify overall risk patterns. Limitations: Breast cancer diagnoses during pregnancy were not uniformly distinguishable from early postpartum diagnoses. Data on human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) oncogene overexpression were limited. Conclusion: Compared with nulliparous women, parous women have an increased risk for breast cancer for more than 20 years after childbirth. Health care providers should consider recent childbirth a risk factor for breast cancer in young women.

description: Objective: To describe the patterns of prescription drug use among child and adolescent survivors of cancer in the early post-therapy period compared with matched peers without a cancer history. Study design: Using the MarketScan commercial insurance claims database, we performed a retrospective cohort study identifying survivors of pediatric (0-21 years of age at diagnosis) leukemia, lymphoma, central nervous system, bone, or gonadal cancers who completed therapy from 2000 to 2011 and remained insured for 3 years post-therapy. Prescription fills during the first 3 years post-therapy were examined, categorized by drug class, and compared with age-, sex-, and region-matched individuals without cancer. Results: We identified 1414 survivors and 14 007 comparators. Compared with those without cancer, survivors had 1.5-4.5 times greater risk for filling opioids. Survivors of leukemia, lymphoma, central nervous system, and bone cancers had 2-5 times the risk for antidepressant and 3-7 times the risk for anxiolytic use. Survivors of leukemia, lymphoma, and bone tumors had 3-13 times the risk for angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors by the third year post-therapy. Conclusion: Compared with peers without cancer, survivors of childhood cancer have greater rates of prescription use across many drug classes, suggesting greater medical morbidity. Survivors were more likely to use opioid, psychoactive, hormone, and cardiovascular medications. All general pediatricians and subspecialists should be aware of potentially emerging morbidities during the early post-therapy period to guide risk-based surveillance and survivorship care.

description: Objective: Previous studies have suggested that suicide rates are elevated among cancer patients relative to the general population. In this analysis, we comprehensively evaluated characteristics associated with higher suicide rates among patients with cancers of the digestive system. Methods: Using the United States Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database, we identified all patients diagnosed with digestive system cancers during 2000 to 2014. Patients were classified as having died of suicide if their cause of death in Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results was listed as “suicide and self-inflicted injury.” Suicide rates were compared to age-, sex-, and race-adjusted rates in the general population. Results: A total of 881 suicides were identified among 856 293 patients diagnosed with digestive system cancers. The suicide rate in this population was 32.8 per 100 000 person-years and was nearly twice that in the general population (standardized mortality ratio [SMR] = 1.91; 95% CI, 1.79-2.04). Suicide rates were significantly elevated for all cancer sites but were highest for esophageal (SMR = 5.03), pancreatic (SMR = 5.28), stomach (SMR = 2.84), and liver (SMR = 2.14) cancers. Standardized mortality ratios for suicide were highest within the first 5 years of diagnosis and increased with age at diagnosis for all sites except colon and stomach. Conclusions: Patients with cancers of the digestive system have a higher incidence of suicide than the general population. Suicide rates among esophageal and pancreatic cancer patients are more than 5 times general population rates. The involvement of psychiatrists and other mental health professionals may be a critical component of cancer care for these high-risk patient subgroups.

description: Background: Diets with a high glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) have been hypothesized to increase oxidative stress, but the limited human studies are inconsistent. Objective: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate associations between dietary GI, GL, and carbohydrate intake and oxidative stress, as measured by F2-isoprostanes (F2-IsoPs). Methods: Concentrations of F2-IsoP and its metabolite (15-F2t-IsoP-M) were measured in urine samples collected at enrollment from 866 premenopausal women (aged 35-54 y) participating in the Sister Study. Total carbohydrate intake and dietary GI and GL were assessed using a validated food frequency questionnaire. Urinary F2-IsoP and 15-F2t-IsoP-M concentrations were compared across quintiles of carbohydrate intake, GI, and GL using multivariable linear regression models. Results: Urinary F2-IsoP concentrations were positively associated with dietary GI (P-trend = 0.023), and both F2-IsoP and 15-F2t-IsoP-M concentrations were positively associated with GL (F2-IsoP: P-trend < 0.001; 15-F2t-IsoP-M: P-trend < 0.001) and total carbohydrate intake (F2-IsoP: P-trend = 0.012; 15-F2t-IsoP-M: P-trend < 0.001). Stratified analyses suggested that a positive association between GI and urinary 15-F2t-IsoP-M concentrations was present among women with a body mass index [BMI (in kg/m2)] ≥30.0, but not among those with a BMI of < 25.0 or 25.0-29.9 (P-interaction = 0.01). Conclusions: Our cross-sectional analyses in a sample of premenopausal women support hypothesized relations between high dietary GI and GL and oxidative stress, as assessed by urinary F2-IsoP and 15-F2t-IsoP-M concentrations. Given potential associations between oxidative stress and the development of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, our findings may have important implications for reducing chronic disease risk.

description: Dimensionality reduction has been applied in various brain areas to study the activity of populations of neurons. To interpret the outputs of dimensionality reduction, it is important to first understand its outputs for brain areas for which the relationship between the stimulus and neural response is well characterized. Here, we applied principal component analysis (PCA) to trial-averaged neural responses in macaque primary visual cortex (V1) to study two fundamental, population-level questions. First, we characterized how neural complexity relates to stimulus complexity, where complexity is measured using relative comparisons of dimensionality. Second, we assessed the extent to which responses to different stimuli occupy similar dimensions of the population activity space using a novel statistical method. For comparison, we performed the same dimensionality reduction analyses on the activity of a recently-proposed V1 receptive field model and a deep convolutional neural network. Our results show that the dimensionality of the population response changes systematically with alterations in the properties and complexity of the visual stimulus.

description: Index-based approaches are a popular method for assessing societal vulnerability to flooding, many of which differ in terms of indicator selection, underlying social data, spatial scale and aggregation methods. They are typically assessed at geographically broad spatial scales to provide a spatial picture of vulnerability for policy and decision-makers. However, aggregation of vulnerability at broad scales also potentially masks the true vulnerability of an area as the underlying data is not spatially refined. This research expands on a previous indicator approach, the Social Flood Vulnerability Index by using geodemographics to facilitate household and postcode level vulnerability assessment to explore the impact of spatial aggregation on vulnerability at national and local levels in Scotland. The results suggest that applying geodemographics to an existing approach increases spatial heterogeneity and has the potential to be adopted as a new dataset to guide indicator selection in future.

description: The water demands of power plant cooling systems may strain water supply and make power generation vulnerable to water scarcity. Cooling systems range in their rates of water use, capital investment, and annual costs. Using Texas as a case study, we examined the cost of retrofitting existing coal and natural gas combined-cycle (NGCC) power plants with alternative cooling systems, either wet recirculating towers or air-cooled condensers for dry cooling. We applied a power plant assessment tool to model existing power plants in terms of their key plant attributes and site-specific meteorological conditions and then estimated operation characteristics of retrofitted plants and retrofit costs. We determined the anticipated annual reductions in water withdrawals and the costper-gallon of water saved by retrofits in both deterministic and probabilistic forms. The results demonstrate that replacing once-through cooling at coal-fired power plants with wet recirculating towers has the lowest cost per reduced water withdrawals, on average. The average marginal cost of water withdrawal savings for dry-cooling retrofits at coal-fired plants is approximately 0.68 cents per gallon, while the marginal recirculating retrofit cost is 0.008 cents per gallon. For NGCC plants, the average marginal costs of water withdrawal savings for dry-cooling and recirculating towers are 1.78 and 0.037 cents per gallon, respectively.

description: Recent studies have applied dimensionality reduction methods to understand how the multi-dimensional structure of neural population activity gives rise to brain function. It is unclear, however, how the results obtained from dimensionality reduction generalize to recordings with larger numbers of neurons and trials or how these results relate to the underlying network structure. We address these questions by applying factor analysis to recordings in the visual cortex of non-human primates and to spiking network models that self-generate irregular activity through a balance of excitation and inhibition. We compared the scaling trends of two key outputs of dimensionality reduction—shared dimensionality and percent shared variance—with neuron and trial count. We found that the scaling properties of networks with non-clustered and clustered connectivity differed, and that the in vivo recordings were more consistent with the clustered network. Furthermore, recordings from tens of neurons were sufficient to identify the dominant modes of shared variability that generalize to larger portions of the network. These findings can help guide the interpretation of dimensionality reduction outputs in regimes of limited neuron and trial sampling and help relate these outputs to the underlying network structure.

description: As the number of tunnels and traffic accidents increase, it is necessary to study the drivers’ visual characteristic in the tunnels. Considering that freeway tunnels have limited space and narrow sight zone, drivers usually have a short visual blind zone and visual shock when entering and exiting the tunnels. This study aims to investigate the characteristics of drivers’ visual load in the entrance and exit zones of extra-long tunnels, and to provide a theoretical basis for the traffic safety prevention and control measures of the engineering design. 20 drivers were enrolled to conduct real vehicle tests in the Guizhou Sifangdong Tunnel at different time periods (daytime, twilight, and nighttime). The drivers’ pupil area was collected by an eye tracker. The maximum transient vibration value (MTVV) of the pupil area was selected as the index of visual load. In addition, the changing characteristics of visual load in the entrance and exit zones were examined. Using ANOVA, the significant difference of visual load in different zones and at different time periods were performed. Accordingly, the overall drivers’ visual load in the entrance and the exit zones were compared. Exponential function models of the MTVV value and the speed of pupil area change were constructed, where the pattern of mutual influence was examined. The changing pattern of the drivers’ visual load at different time periods in the entrance and exit zones were markedly different. The comparison of the overall visual load was as follows: exit zones at nighttime > entrance zones at nighttime > entrance zones at twilight > exit zones at twilight ≈ entrance zones at daytime ≈ exit zones at daytime. Moreover, the MTVV value positively correlated with the speed of the pupil area change. Finally, this study proposes an evaluation standard of visual comfort based on the speed of the pupil area change. This study highlights the driving risk in extra-long tunnel. These findings could provide a basis for studying the setting method of visual guidance facilities in entrance and exit zones of extra-long tunnel. Also, this study could provide a theoretical basis for the evaluation of drivers’ visual load in the tunnel.

description: A strong positive association has been observed between circulating anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), a biomarker of ovarian reserve, and breast cancer risk in three prospective studies. Confirming this association is important because of the paucity of biomarkers of breast cancer risk in premenopausal women. We conducted a consortium study including ten prospective cohorts that had collected blood from premenopausal women. A nested case–control design was implemented within each cohort. A total of 2,835 invasive (80%) and in situ (20%) breast cancer cases were individually matched to controls (n = 3,122) on age at blood donation. AMH was measured using a high sensitivity enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay. Conditional logistic regression was applied to the aggregated dataset. There was a statistically significant trend of increasing breast cancer risk with increasing AMH concentration (ptrend across quartiles <0.0001) after adjusting for breast cancer risk factors. The odds ratio (OR) for breast cancer in the top vs. bottom quartile of AMH was 1.60 (95% CI = 1.31–1.94). Though the test for interaction was not statistically significant (pinteraction = 0.15), the trend was statistically significant only for tumors positive for both estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR): ER+/PR+: ORQ4–Q1 = 1.96, 95% CI = 1.46–2.64, ptrend <0.0001; ER+/PR−: ORQ4–Q1 = 0.82, 95% CI = 0.40–1.68, ptrend = 0.51; ER−/PR+: ORQ4–Q1 = 3.23, 95% CI = 0.48–21.9, ptrend = 0.26; ER−/PR−: ORQ4–Q1 = 1.15, 95% CI = 0.63–2.09, ptrend = 0.60. The association was observed for both pre- (ORQ4–Q1= 1.35, 95% CI = 1.05–1.73) and post-menopausal (ORQ4–Q1 = 1.61, 95% CI = 1.03–2.53) breast cancer (pinteraction = 0.34). In this large consortium study, we confirmed that AMH is associated with breast cancer risk, with a 60% increase in risk for women in the top vs. bottom quartile of AMH.

description: Oxidative stress is one hypothesized mechanism linking anthropometric, behavioral, and medical risk factors with cardiovascular disease (CVD). We evaluated cross-sectional associations between CVD risk factors and biomarkers of oxidative stress, and investigated these biomarkers as predictors of incident diabetes and hypertension among premenopausal women. F 2 -isoprostane (F 2 -IsoP) and metabolite (15-F 2t -IsoP-M), reliable biomarkers of oxidative stress, were measured in urine samples collected at enrollment from 897 premenopausal women (ages 35–54) enrolled in the Sister Study cohort without a CVD history. Blood pressure, waist circumference, and body mass index (BMI) were measured at enrollment by trained study personnel. Diabetes and cigarette smoking were self-reported via enrollment questionnaires. Over a maximum follow-up of 11.5 years, participants self-reported incident diabetes and hypertension diagnoses on mailed questionnaires. In cross-sectional analyses, both F 2 -IsoP and 15-F 2t -IsoP-M were positively associated with BMI, waist circumference, diastolic blood pressure, and current smoking. F 2 -IsoP was elevated among those with diabetes, and 15-F 2t -IsoP-M increased with higher systolic blood pressure. Prospective analyses suggested an increased hypertension risk among those with elevated 15-F 2t -IsoP-M (highest vs. lowest quartile: hazard ratio=2.34; 95% CI: 1.20–4.56). Our results suggest that urinary F 2 -IsoP and 15-F 2t -IsoP-M are positively associated with adiposity measures, blood pressure, and cigarette smoking. Further investigation is warranted to evaluate 15-F 2t -IsoP-M as a predictor of hypertension.

description: Few studies focus on the simultaneous removal performance and mechanism of H2S and SO2 mixture in Claus tail gas with a high concentration of H2O (20–30 vol.%) and CO2 (8–10 vol.%). In this paper, the effects of H2O and CO2 on the simultaneous removal of H2S and SO2 for the by activated carbon (TL-1) were studied. Fresh (TL-1-F) and desulfurisation sulfur-loaded TL-1 activated samples (TL-1-E1 and TL-1-E2) were characterised by BET, elemental analysis, TG-MS, FT-IR and XPS. The simultaneous adsorption mechanism of H2S and SO2 on TL-1 in the presence of H2O and CO2 was discussed. Results show that the breakthrough sulfur capacity of TL-1 for the simultaneous removal of H2S and SO2 mixture reaches up to 301.6 mg S/g ads when the feed gas containing 30 vol.% H2O and 8 vol.% CO2, which is 40% higher than that without H2O. H2O in the feed is adsorbed on the surface of TL-1 and forms a water film. The adsorbed H2S and SO2 are dissolved and ionised in the water film, which is conducive to the adsorption removal of H2S and SO2 by TL-1 and the generation of sulfuric acid (55.8%) and S8 (44.2%). Meanwhile, CO2 is only physically adsorbed on the surface of TL-1, and does not participate in the chemical adsorption (or chemical reaction) for the removal sulfide process.
