title: Five-human-posture classification independent from background, camera distance and apparel

description: A five postures recognition algorithm from a human video was proposed. To make the algorithm practical to real surveillance applications, several contexts concerning clothing, camera factors, sequence of acting postures, and subject's body size are not neither constrained nor controlled. A new set of features based on only the geometrical information of stationary and temporal posture envelops was introduced. Our algorithm can handle both stationary and moving postures, which are walking, standing, lying, sitting, and bending. The algorithm was tested in the following two aspects such as the efficacy of proposed features, comparison with Juang, C.F. and Chang, C.M.’s research (2007) using Neural Fuzzy Network classifier in four (excluding walking) and five postures classification, respectively, and applicability to various data sets, testing the robustness of algorithm in various data sets. Four video clips from Weizmann human posture data set, UIUC complex active data set, CMU graphic lab motion database, and our own data set were experimented. With respect to our own data sets our average accuracy achieved 93.27%. But when our algorithm was tested will other data sets, our accuracy is higher than 95%.

title: Clinical evaluation of Ramipril in dogs with asymptomatic degenerative mitral valve disease

description: Degenerative mitral valve disease (DMVD) is the most common cardiac disease in dogs. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors have beneficial effects on DMVD dogs with (ACVIM classification) stage C and D. However, the study determining effects of ACE inhibitors in DMVD stage B2 is still controversy. Ramipril is an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors that has more lipophilic effects than other ACE inhibitors. It can suppress ACE in cardiac tissues effectively, so this drug may have more beneficial effects in treatment dogs with naturally occurring canine DMVD stage B2 (ACVIM classification) than other ACE inhibitors. In this study, we used 20 dogs with asymptomatic DMVD stage B2 with body weight between 3-12 Kg and older than 6 years. Dogs were single blinded randomized dividing into 2 groups. The owners themselves selected to either supplement or not supplement the drugs. Dogs in ramipril group (n= 10) received ramipril once a day at dose 0.22 mg/kg PO and control group (n= 10) did not receive any drug for 91 days. Complete physical examination, electrocardiography and echocardiography were performed in day 0, 28, 56 and 91. Echocardiographic examination was used to compare cardiac sizes and structural changes. For statistical analysis, independent t-test was performed to compare between dogs in ramipril and control groups. Repeated ANOVA was used to compare within groups between days 0, 28, 56, 91. p&lt;0.05 was considered statistically significant. Cardiac chamber size, systolic function and severity of mitral regurgitation were not significantly different between the 2 groups throughout the study period. Two dogs in ramipril group increased in appetite, one dog had reduced frequency of cough and one had increased blood urea nitrogen and creatinine. In conclusion, the ramipril could not change cardiac size, severity of mitral regurgitation and systolic function compared with the control group in 91 days study period

title: Lung nodule segmentation and estimation using thresholding on local thickness

description: A simple-yet-effective method, utilizing local thickness and auto-thresholding for manual lung nodule segmentation and estimation is presented. By utilizing local thickness algorithm, we can achieve the field of local thickness for the respective region of interest, which can be used for further assessment in thresholding. The auto-thresholding technique, IsoData, is used on local thickness field for segmenting lung nodule, which can remove blood vessels or features that are difficult to be removed by conventional mean and must be excluded in order to ensure correct segmentation and measurement. By using correlation comparison on the same lung nodule dataset between our proposed method and Philips Extended Brilliance Workspace, we can see that the correlation is 98.9%.

title: A comparison of masticatory efficiency using the wax cube analysis method before and after implant-retained lower complete denture insertion

description: The purpose of this study was to evaluation masticatory efficiency of implant-retained lower complete denture by using the wax cube analysis method. Thirty-three complete denture wearers (15 males and 18 females, mean age 67.48 ± 6.17 yrs) who received complete dentures treatment from Prosthodontic clinic, Faculty of Dentistry, Chulalongkorn University were selected. The quality and stability of dentures are acceptable except some retention problems of lower denture. All subjects were classified in to 2 groups from mandibular bone height as high and low bone group. First, two dental implant fixtures were placed at lower canine regions, then 3 months later the ball-type attachments were connected to lower denture. The wax cube analysis method was used to evaluate the masticatory efficiency at three times; 1. before implantation 2. within one week after insert implant retained lower complete denture and 3. one month after. Each test used four wax cubes. The chewed wax was captured and analyzed with the Image J program. The result of masticatory efficiency was shown in term of percentage of chewing ability. The result showed that there was a statistically significant difference in the mean values among 3 tests (P≤0.001). Means of percentage of chewing ability after insertion in one week was 23.94 ± 6.58 (baseline = 15.43 ± 4.36) and increased to 28.17 ± 6.16 in one month after but the level of bone could not induce in the subjects had a significant effect on their masticatory performance overtime (P&gt;0.05). From this study concluded that the edentulous patients can improve chewing ability significantly by 2-implant-retained lower complete denture treatment and mandibular bone height had no effect on chewing ability after treatment.

title: Efficacy of inactivated avian influenza (H5N2) vaccine on the protection and transmission of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (H5N1) in Japanese quail

description: This dissertation is divided into 3 parts. First, the effect of inoculation dose of a Thai HPAI-H5N1 (CUK2) virus was evaluated, 107 quails were divided into 4 groups. At 9-week-old, 16 quails in groups 1-3 (n=32 each) were inoculated with 10⁷, 10⁵ and 10³ EID₅₀ of A/chicken/Thailand/CUK2/04 virus, respectively. One day later 16 quails in each group were added. Group 4 (n=11) was negative control group. Quails have been observed for 3 weeks. Oropharyngeal and cloacal swabs were analyzed for viral shedding. The death time and viral shedding suggested that 10⁵ EID₅₀ of virus per quail was selected for animal challenge in vaccination experiment. Second, serological response to inactivated vaccine was investigated, 60 quails were divided into 3 groups (n=20 each), duplicate vaccinated groups and unvaccinated group. The inactivated vaccine, A/chicken/Mexico/232/94 (H5N2) virus, was administered at the age of 3 (half dose) and 7 (full dose) weeks. Blood samples were analyzed for serological response. The result indicated that twice vaccination induced significantly increase HI antibody. Third, efficacy of inactivated vaccine was evaluated, 48 quails were divided into 3 groups (n=16 each), duplicate vaccinated groups and unvaccinated group. The inactivated vaccine was administered at the age of 3 (half dose) and 7 (full dose) weeks. At the age of 10 weeks, 8 quails in each group were inoculated with CUK2 virus, One day later 8 quails in each group were added. Quails have been observed for 3 weeks. Oropharyngeal and cloacal swabs were analyzed for viral shedding. The results indicated that twice vaccination could reduce the mortality and the viral shedding. In conclusion, this dissertation demonstrated that given vaccination program induced specific antibody response and partially protected quail from HPAI-H5N1 virus but not effectively prevented transmission of the virus.

title: Dataset related to article "Hypofractionation with simultaneous boost in breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy A prospective evaluation of a case series and review of the literature"

description: This record contains raw data related to article "Hypofractionation with simultaneous boost in breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy A prospective evaluation of a case series and review of the literature" To evaluate acute toxicity and cosmetic outcomes of hypofractionated simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) as adjuvant treatment after breast-conserving surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy and to review the association of chemotherapy and short fractionation with boost. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients presenting early-stage breast cancer were enrolled in a phase II trial. All patients received VMAT-SIB technique to the whole breast and tumor bed in 15 fractions, for a total dose of 40.5 and 48 Gy. Acute and late skin toxicities and breast pain were recorded. Cosmetic outcomes were also assessed as excellent/good or fair/poor. RESULTS: Between August 2010 and December 2015, 787 consecutive patients were treated and had at least 2 year follow-up. A subset of 175 patients underwent adjuvant chemotherapy (median age of 55 years) and was analysed. The median follow up was 39 months (range 24-80). At the end of RT treatment, skin toxicity was G1 in 51.1% of patients, G2 in 9.7%. At 2 years of follow up, it was G1 in 13.5% of patients, no cases ≥ G2; cosmetic outcome was excellent in 63.5% and good in 36.5% of the patients. No significant difference compared to the patients without systemic therapy was observed. CONCLUSION: Hypofractionated VMAT-SIB in patients who had undergone adjuvant systemic therapy was safe and well tolerated in terms of acute and early late settings and cosmesis. Our data confirmed the results of other studies published on the association of hypofractionation and chemotherapy or concomitant boost.

title: Dataset related to article "Critical Appraisal of the Risk of Secondary Cancer Induction From Breast Radiation Therapy With Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy Relative to 3D Conformal Therapy"

description: This record contains raw data related to article "Critical Appraisal of the Risk of Secondary Cancer Induction From Breast Radiation Therapy With Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy Relative to 3D Conformal Therapy" PURPOSE: To evaluate the excess absolute risk (EAR) comparing volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and 3-dimensional (3D) conformal radiation therapy (CRT) in breast cancer radiation therapy treatment. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Two VMAT arrangements (VMAT_tang and VMAT_full, i.e. partial arcs with and without a sector of 0 Monitor Unit, respectively) and a 3D CRT (field-in-field [FinF]) plan were calculated with an accurate dose calculation algorithm, Acuros, in 20 patients presenting with early-stage breast cancer. The dose prescription was 40.05 Gy in 15 fractions. The planning aim was to maximize the dose reduction in the lungs, contralateral breast, heart, and coronary artery. EAR was estimated using different models: linear, linear-exponential, plateau, and full model, which better uses a carcinogenesis model and epidemiologic data for carcinoma induction and which accounts for cell repopulation or repair during the radiation therapy dose fractionation. EAR was computed for contralateral structures-breast and lung-as well as the ipsilateral lung. Normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) was computed to estimate the ipsilateral lung, heart, and skin toxicity, to balance with respect to second cancer induction. RESULTS: The planning objectives were fulfilled with all the planning techniques. EAR for contralateral breast carcinoma induction, estimated with the most accurate model, was 1.7, 2.4, and 8.5 (per 10,000 patients per year) with FinF, VMAT_tang, and VMAT_full, respectively. For the contralateral lung, these figures were 1.5, 1.6, and 7.3 (per 10,000 patients per year), respectively. NTCP for all the analyzed endpoints was significantly higher with FinF relative to both VMAT settings, with VMAT_full presenting the lowest toxicity risk. CONCLUSIONS: VMAT, in particular with the VMAT_tang setting, could have the same risk of second cancer induction as 3D CRT delivered with the FinF setting for the contralateral organs while reducing acute and late NTCP for the ipsilateral organs. VMAT might be considered a safe technique for breast cancer treatment for those aspects.

title: Electropromoted propane oxidation on sputter-deposited Pd, Ir, Ru, and Cu catalyst-electrodes on YSZ and modification of Pd catalyst with MnxOy interlayer for further improvement

description: The electrochemical promotion of ethylene and propane oxidation has been investigated in comparison upon different catalyst-electrodes. Depending on experimental conditions (temperature and gas composition), in the case of the electrochemical promotion of C2H4 oxidation over Pt/YSZ, this is the first time to demonstrate three out of four promotion behaviours, i.e. here for electrophobic, electrophilic, and volcano types by the use of single catalytic reaction. It was found that under mildly oxidizing conditions the reaction exhibits an electrophobic behavior, i.e. rate increase by anodic polarization, while it shifts to electrophilic, i.e. rate increase by cathodic polarization, under near stoichiometric feed conditions. The different metal catalyst-electrodes, i.e. Pd, Ru, Ir, and Cu were tested on deep propane oxidation under lean burn condition and at temperature range of 250-450oC. All of these catalyst-electrodes exhibit electrophobic behavior, where the rate increases during anodic polarization and slightly decreases with negative polarization. The increase in the catalytic rate, Δr, is reached to the maximum ρ values of 3, however, it is significantly higher than the rate of ion transport, I/2F, Λ, taking values up to 250 for Pd, 125 for Ir, and 15 for Ru catalyst-electrode under anodic polarization. Fast catalyst deactivation is observed due to increased particle size as observed by SEM and XRD. The better catalytic performance of Pd with MnxOy in comparison on Pd deposited on YSZ is observed and confirmed by the kinetic studies exhibiting the shift of rate maximum at higher oxygen partial pressure. Propane oxidation can be reversibly enhanced by the Pd metallic phase via the application of current or potential up to 1000, whereas the interlayer of MnxOy hinders the electrochemical promotion of propane oxidation in excess of oxygen.
