Improving Few-Shot User-Specific Gaze Adaptation via Gaze Redirection Synthesis (2019)

As an indicator of human attention gaze is a subtle behavioral cue which can be exploited in many applications. However, inferring 3D gaze direction is challenging even for deep neural networks given the lack of large amount of data (groundtruthing gaze is expensive and existing datasets use different setups) and the inherent presence of gaze biases due to person-specific difference. In this work, we address the problem of person-specific gaze model adaptation from only a few reference training samples. The main and novel idea is to improve gaze adaptation by generating additional training samples through the synthesis of gaze-redirected eye images from existing reference samples. In doing so, our contributions are threefold: (i) we design our gaze redirection framework from synthetic data, allowing us to benefit from aligned training sample pairs to predict accurate inverse mapping fields; (ii) we proposed a self-supervised approach for domain adaptation; (iii) we exploit the gaze redirection to improve the performance of person-specific gaze estimation. Extensive experiments on two public datasets demonstrate the validity of our gaze retargeting and gaze estimation framework.
Digital Subtraction Bowel Cleansing for CT Colonography Using Morphological and Linear Filtration Methods (2004)

We describe a method to perform postacquisition processing of computed tomography colonography (virtual colonoscopy) datasets that results in electronic removal of opacified, ingested bowel contents while reconstructing natural appearing boundaries of colon lumen and thereby permitting three-dimensional visual analyses of the resulting colon models.

Collagen‐induced and adjuvant‐induced arthritis in rats (1984)

Immunization of Lewis rats with native type II collagen results in an inflammatory arthritis and increased humoral and cellular immune responses to type II collagen. The exposure of rats to native type II collagen at day 7 or 10 after immunization suppressed the incidence of arthritis and anticollagen antibody levels, although the cellular response was not affected. The exposure to denatured type II collagen offered partial protection, while type I collagen had no significant effect. Rats immunized with Mycobacterium tuberculosis also showed reduced arthritic response when subsequently treated with type II collagen. The common modalities between the 2 models and the possible role of type II collagen in the interference with the inflammatory arthritic events are discussed.
Optical and Electrical Properties of Pure and Doped PEO Polymer Electrolyte Films (2007)

A sodium ion conducting polymer electrolyte based on polyethylene oxide (PEO) complexed with NaFeF4 was prepared using solution cast technique. The complexation of the salt with PEO was confirmed by X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and infared spectroscopic (FTIR) studies. Optical absorption studies were made in the wavelength range 200–600 nm on pure and NaFeF4 doped PEO film. The absorption edge was observed at 4.62 eV for undoped PEO while it ranged from 3.86 to 3.61 eV for NaFeF4 doped films. The direct band gaps for undoped and NaLaF4 doped PEO films were found to be, respectively, 4.54 and 3.74, 3.63 and 3.54 eV while the indirect band gaps were 4.43 and 3.52, 3.38 and 3.26 eV, respectively. It was found that the energy gaps and band edge values shifted to lower energies on doping with NaFeF4 salt. Electrical measurements were made in the temperature range 300–370 K as a function of dopant concentration. The nature of charge transport in this system was determined using Wagner's polarization technique and was found to be predominantly due to ions.
Generalized unstructured decimation [computer graphics] (1996)

Decimation describes the process of removing entities (such as polygons) from a geometric representation. The goal is to intelligently reduce the number of primitives required to accurately model the problem of interest. The work described in the article was originally motivated by the need for efficient and robust decimation of volume tessellations, that is, unstructured tetrahedrizations. Existing surface-based decimation schemes do not generalize to volumes. The technique allows local, dynamic vertex removal from an unstructured tetrahedrization while preserving the initial tessellation topology and boundary geometry. The research focuses on vertex removal methodology, not on the formulation of decimation criteria. In practice, criteria for removing vertices are application specific. The basis of the algorithm is a unique and general method to classify a triangle with respect to a nonconvex polygon. The resulting decimation algorithm (applicable to both surface and volume tessellations) is robust and efficient because it avoids floating-point classification computations.

The Relative Neighborhood Graph, with an Application to Minimum Spanning Trees (1983)

The relative neighborhood graph (RNG) of a set V of pomts in Euchdean space is the graph (V, E), where (p, q) E E iff there is no point z E V such that d(p, z) < d(p, q) and d(q, z) < d(p, q) It is shown that (1) the RNG of n points in the' plane can be found in O(n log n) time, which is optimal to wRlun a multiphcative constant. (2) The RNG, as well as the minimum spanning tree, of the vertices of a convex, n-vertex polygon can be found m O(n) time, given the vertices m sorted clockwise order.

Incidence of Cronobacter sakazakii in Dairy-based Desserts (2018)

Cronobacter sakazakii is one of emerging foodborne pathogens around the world. A total of 90 dairy-based desserts samples (ice cream, Muhallabia and rice pudding) were examined for detecting C. sakazakii. All samples were submitted for bacteriological examination and confirmed by molecular identification using 16S rRNA gene for C. sakazakii. The bacteriological and molecular examination revealed that the incidence of occurrence of C. sakazakii was 5.55% from the total dairy-based desserts samples, the highest percentage occurred in rice pudding samples (10%), while the incidence of C. sakazakii in ice cream and Muhallabia were 3.33% for each type. The results pointed out that high risk for human may occur by contaminated dairy-based desserts. The hygienic precautions must be taken during the processing of these types of products.
Test wire for high voltage power supply crowbar system (2002)

The klystron microwave amplifier tubes used in the low energy demonstration accelerator (LEDA) and to be used in the accelerator production of tritium (APT) plant have a strict upper limit on the amount of energy which can be safely dissipated within the klystron's vacuum envelope during a high voltage arc. One way to prevent damage from occurring to the klystron microwave amplifier tube is through the use of a crowbar circuit which diverts the energy stored in the power supply filter capacitors from the tube arc. The crowbar circuit must be extremely reliable. To test the crowbar circuit, a wire that is designed to fuse when it absorbs a predetermined amount of energy is switched between the high voltage output terminals. The energy required to fuse the wire was investigated for a variety of circuits that simulated the power supply circuit. Techniques for calculating wire length and energy are presented along with verifying experimental data.
Myth and Measurement — The Case of Medical Bankruptcies (2018)

Dominant suppression of adenovirus mediated transformation and insufficiency of p105Rb binding as a condition for oncogenic transformation. (1991)

An adenovirus-specific transformation resistant cell line (G2) expressing biologically active E1a proteins and originally isolated as a revertant from Ad2-transformed rat cells (F4), was shown to form stable Rb-E1a and 300K-E1a complexes in immunoprecipitation experiments. Consistent with the transformation resistant phenotype, cell hybrids between G2 and F4 were all nontumorigenic. Retrovirus insertion mutagenesis resulted in tumorigenic cell lines and identified a common locus responsible for the E1a-specific dominant tumor suppressor phenotype of G2 cells.
COMPARATIVE STUDY OF HAPTIC AND VISUAL FEEDBACK FOR KINESTHETIC TRAINING TASKS (2007)

Haptics is the sense of simulating and applying the sense of human touch. Application of touch sensations is done with haptic interface devices. The past few years has seen the development of several haptic interface devices with a wide variety of technologies used in their design. This thesis introduces haptic technologies and includes a survey of haptic interface devices and technologies. An improvement in simulating and applying touch sensation when using the Quanser Haptic Wand with proSense is suggested in this work using a novel five degree-of-freedom algorithm. This approach uses two additional torques to enhance the three degree-of-freedom of force feedback currently available with these products. Modern surgical trainers for performing laparoscopic surgery are incorporating haptic feedback in addition to visual feedback for training. This work presents a quantitative comparison of haptic versus visual training. One of the key results of the study is that haptic feedback is better than visual feedback for kinesthetic navigation tasks.
Intraoperative Computed Tomography With Integrated Navigation System in Spinal Stabilizations (2009)

STUDY DESIGN.: A prospective interventional case-series study plus a retrospective analysis of historical patients for comparison of data. OBJECTIVE.: To evaluate workflow, feasibility, and clinical outcome of navigated stabilization procedures with data acquisition by intraoperative computed tomography. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA.: Routine fluoroscopy to assess pedicle screw placement is not consistently reliable. Our hypothesis was that image-guided spinal navigation using an intraoperative CT-scanner can improve the safety and precision of spinal stabilization surgery. METHODS.: CT data of 94 patients (thoracolumbar [n = 66], C1/2 [n = 12], cervicothoracic instability [n = 16]) were acquired after positioning the patient in the final surgical position. A sliding gantry 40-slice CT was used for image acquisition. Data were imported to a frameless infrared-based neuronavigation workstation. Intraoperative CT was obtained to assess the accuracy of instrumentation and, if necessary, the extent of decompression. All patients were clinically evaluated by Odom-criteria after surgery and after 3 months. RESULTS.: Computed accuracy of the navigation system reached <2 mm (0.95 +/- 0.3 mm) in all cases. Additional time necessary for the preoperative image acquisition including data transfer was 14 +/- 5 minutes. The duration of interrupting the surgical process for iCT until resumption of surgery was 9 +/- 2.5 minutes. Control-iCT revealed incorrect screw position >/=2 mm without persistent neurologic or vascular damage in 20/414 screws (4.8%) leading to immediate correction of 10 screws (2.4%). Control-iCT changed the course of surgery in 8 cases (8.5% of all patients). The overall revision rate was 8.5% (4 wound revisions, 2 CSF fistulas, and 2 epidural hematomas). There was no reoperation due to implant malposition. According to Odom-criteria all patients experienced a clinical improvement. A retrospective analysis of 182 patients with navigated thoracolumbar transpedicular stabilizations in the preiCT era revealed an overall revision rate of 10.4% with 4.4% of patients requiring screw revision. CONCLUSION.: Intraoperative CT in combination with neuronavigation provides high accuracy of screw placement and thus safety for patients undergoing spinal stabilization. Reoperations due to implant malpositions could be completely avoided. The system can be installed into a pre-existing operating environment without need for special surgical instruments. The procedure is rapid and easy to perform without restricted access to the patient and-by replacing pre- and postoperative imaging-is not associated with an additional exposure to radiation. Multidisciplinary use increases utilization of the system and thus improves cost-efficiency relation.
Parallel event processing for content-based publish/subscribe systems (2009)

Event processing systems are a promising technology for enterprise-scale applications. However, achieving scalability yet maintaining high performance is a challenging problem. This work introduces a parallel matching engine which leverages current chip multi-processors to increase throughput and to reduce the matching time. We present three parallelization techniques, as well as lock-based and software transactional memory-based implementations of each technique, and discuss their impact. The results show a 74% reduction of the average matching time and an improved throughput of over 1600 events/second when using eight processors.
Effects of recombinant human growth hormone on rat septic shock with intraabdominal infection by<i>E. coli</i> (2002)

rhGH showed beneficial effects on rat septic shock. The possible mechanisms may involve the attenuation of bacteria/endotoxin translocation and decreased systemic endotoxin level; inhibition of the production and release of TNFalpha; improved circulatory function; improved systemic host defenses and maintenance of intestinal mucosa barrier.
How prevalent is vitamin B<sub>12</sub>deficiency among vegetarians? (2013)

Vegetarians are at risk for vitamin B(12) (B12) deficiency due to suboptimal intake. The goal of the present literature review was to assess the rate of B12 depletion and deficiency among vegetarians and vegans. Using a PubMed search to identify relevant publications, 18 articles were found that reported B12 deficiency rates from studies that identified deficiency by measuring methylmalonic acid, holo-transcobalamin II, or both. The deficiency rates reported for specific populations were as follows: 62% among pregnant women, between 25% and almost 86% among children, 21-41% among adolescents, and 11-90% among the elderly. Higher rates of deficiency were reported among vegans compared with vegetarians and among individuals who had adhered to a vegetarian diet since birth compared with those who had adopted such a diet later in life. The main finding of this review is that vegetarians develop B12 depletion or deficiency regardless of demographic characteristics, place of residency, age, or type of vegetarian diet. Vegetarians should thus take preventive measures to ensure adequate intake of this vitamin, including regular consumption of supplements containing B12.

Identification of Proteins of the Kallikrein Family by Isoelectrofocusing and Immunoblotting (1992)

We have found that kallikrein-like proteins differ in their isoelectric point but share antigenic determinants. For identification of kallikrein-like proteins an initial separation was carried out in flat-bed isoelectrofocusing gels. The kallikrein-like nature was demonstrated by an immunological similarity to kallikrein-like proteins by immunoblotting using antiserum against a kallikrein family member for staining. We used this system to identify different kallikrein-like proteins during purification of both known as well as new enzymes.

XRD-based quantitative analysis of clay minerals using reference intensity ratios, mineral intensity factors, Rietveld, and full pattern summation methods: A critical review (2018)

The quantification of clay minerals is essential for the evaluation of clay-rich rock and soil, but it remains challenging due to the unique structures and various element compositions of clay minerals. In this article, several quantification methods for clay minerals sourced from X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, mainly recommending the reference intensity ratio (RIR), mineral intensity factor (MIF), Rietveld, and full pattern summation methods are reviewed. Principles and applications of these methods are focused upon in addition to related differences in the analysis of clay minerals (i.e., sample preparation, the selection of characteristic reflections for quantification and standards added during analysis). This critical review also provides a proposal for selection of an adaptive XRD quantification method to be applied to various clay-rich samples.

The intrinsic stress of polycrystalline and epitaxial thin metal films (1994)

It is well known that thin films develop large intrinsic stress during their preparation. The intrinsic stress either originates from strained regions within the films (grain boundaries, dislocations, voids, impurities, etc.) or at the film/substrate (lattice mismatch, different thermal expansion, etc) and film/vacuum interfaces (surface stress, adsorption, etc.) or is due to dynamic processes (recrystallization, interdiffusion, etc). Since the magnitude of most of these stress contributions is directly related to film morphology, important structural information can be extracted from measurements of the intrinsic stress. This article presents a thorough discussion of today's understanding of the growth of thin films and reviews the related atomistic mechanisms responsible for intrinsic stress. On the basis of these ideas recent experimental results on the intrinsic stress of UHV deposited polycrystalline and epitaxial thin metal films are discussed. Depending on the respective growth mode of the films-Volmer-Weber, Stranski-Krastanov and Frank-Van der Merwe modes-characteristic stress behaviours are observed. In situ intrinsic stress measurements are therefore a promising new technique to gain additional insight into film growth.
