Distance Based Training for Cross-Modality Person Re-Identification (2019)

Cross-modality person re-identification between infrared (IR) and visible (VIS) domains is a challenging problem, which aims to identify persons in different spectrums, variety of camera specs, and broad illumination conditions. This paper proposes distance based training on an one-stream convolutional neural network architecture, in which network weights are shared between IR and VIS domains to learn discriminative features for person re-identification. The distance based score layer enables to train the network using distance metrics instead of the fully connected layer. Different distance metrics can be used for training and ranking stages. The proposed structure enables to extract discriminative features in the cross-modality data without using dedicated structures for each domain. Experimental results on a cross-modality person re-identification dataset indicate that the proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art methods.
Game Theoretic Power Aware Wireless Data Access (2005)

The paper examines the following wireless data access scenario: a number of clients are interested in a set of data items kept at the server. A client sends a query request to inform the server of its desired data item. The server replies in the common broadcast channel. We first define a utility function that considers the client's power consumption in transmit, receive and idle modes. Specifically, utility is expressed as the number of queries that can be completed given a fixed energy source. Based on the utility function, we formulate our power aware wireless data access scheme as a non-cooperative game, called the WDA game. From our theoretical analysis, we show that clients are not always necessary to send query requests to the server. Instead, each client determines the request probability without any explicit communication with one another. Furthermore, we design and evaluate the server and client algorithms for the WDA game. Simulation results confirm that our proposed scheme, compared with a simple always-request one, increases the utility and lifetime of every client while reducing the number of requests sent, at the cost of a slightly larger average query delay.
HighSpeed TCP for Large Congestion Windows (2002)

This document proposes HighSpeed TCP, a modification to TCP&apos;s congestion control mechanism for use with TCP connections with large congestion windows. The congestion control mechanisms of the current Standard TCP constrains the congestion windows that can be achieved by TCP in realistic environments. For example, for a Standard TCP connection with 1500-byte packets and a 100 ms round-trip time, achieving a steady-state throughput of 10 Gbps would require an average congestion window of 83,333 segments, and a packet drop rate of at most one congestion event every 5,000,000,000 packets (or equivalently, at most one congestion event every 1 2/3 hours). This is widely acknowledged as an unrealistic constraint. To address this limitation of TCP, this document proposes HighSpeed TCP, and solicits experimentation and feedback from the wider community.
Tunable laser resonance Raman spectroscopic investigations of the transduction process in vertebrate rod cells. (1976)

Tunable laser resonance Raman spectroscopy has been applied to probe (in vivo) the role of rhodopsin in transducing light energy into the chemical necessary to generate a neural response. These in vivo experiments have suggested that the Schiff base linkage through which retinal is attached to opsin in rhodopsin is protonated. Furthermore, it appears that light eventually stimulates the deprotonation of the Schiff base linkage between the Meta I and Meta II steps in the intermediate sequence which is the result of light interacting with rhodopsin. Our data suggest that this deprotonation of the Schiff base occurs on the same time scale as overall proton release and uptake by the rhodopsin molecule. It is interesting to note that this series of protonations and deprotonations also occurs within the same time scale as the neural response generation in vertebrates and the generation of a proton gradient by bacteriorhodopsin, which is used by the bacterium, Halobacterium halobium, for ATP synthesis. If these data are analyzed within the context of the in vivo resonance Raman experiments (which seem to indicate that proton release is stimulated in the disc membrane during transduction) then there is a strong suggestion that the proton will assume an important role in any working hypothesis of visual transduction. In essence it appears that protons along with ATP and calcium ions must all be essential elements in the transduction process.
Semi-automatic segmentation using MR images II (2009)

The objective of this project is to develop a method to automatically segment the Articular Cartilage Ligament (ACL) of the knee in Magnetic Resonance (MR) images. Even though MR imaging technology provides a non-invasive and accurate diagnosis of ACL injury, the images require interpretation by trained radiologists. And because the ACL is the most frequently injured structure in the knee, an automated segmentation method is needed to aid radiologists in handling the large volumes of MR images. The ACL is positioned amongst many other ligamentous structures of the knee; it therefore does not have good contrast with its surrounding tissue in MR images, which makes it difficult for computers to automatically identify it – an algorithm which can achieve unsupervised segmentation of the ACL has not been documented to date. The algorithm developed in this project is implemented using MATLAB, and uses mathematical morphology to locate the ACL without supervision, allowing the algorithm to take advantage of the ACL’s unique shape and orientation within the image. A series of morphological filters are applied to the image, thereafter an active contour model is employed to delineate the boundary of the ACL. The semi-automatically segmented images were compared against a set of manually segmented images to determine the accuracy of the segmentation. The present algorithm is able to correctly identify the ACL in 92.5% of the images, and a dice coefficient of 80.5% (compared against the manually segmented images) is achieved in MR images where the ACL is physiologically healthy.

A selective compressed memory system by on-line data decompressing (1999)

The article proposes a selective compressed memory system (SCMS) focusing on a compressed cache architecture, in which only data blocks with good compression efficiency are compressed selectively and all compressed blocks are stored in a fixed memory space. The selective compression technique can reduce decompression overhead caused by online data decompression and also the fixed memory space allocation allows efficient management of the compressed blocks. The results from a trace driven simulation show that the SCMS approach can provide around a 35% decrease in the on-chip cache miss ratio as well as a 53% decrease in the data traffic over conventional memory systems. Furthermore, a large amount of the decompression overhead can be reduced, and thus the average memory access time can also be reduced by a maximum 20% against conventional memory systems.
Groundwater Overdraft and Land Subsidence in Bangkok Area: An Assessment of Proposed Alternatives for Mitigation (2003)

This paper deals with the analysis and evaluation of the responses of the multi-layer groundwater system underlying Bangkok using a simulation model when different mitigation alternatives based on phasing out of pumping, relocation of pumping and artificial recharge are implemented. The model development is based on the detail evaluation of the available geological and hydrogeological data, data and information of the past modelling studies and the recently collected data on hydrogeological characteristics and potentiometric levels. For all schemes, the potentiometric levels in critical areas recover, with the highest amount of recovery being for the recharge case. By considering the feasibility of adaptation in practice, a combined approach of curtailment of pumping through demand side management and storage increment through artificial recharge is recommended to alleviate groundwater overdraft problems.
Multi‐UAVs Cooperative Localization Algorithms with Communication Constraints (2017)

Communication is the basis of multi‐UAVs cooperative localization. There will be some communication delay and packet loss when one UAV communicates with others, and these communication restrictions may have negative influences on multi‐UAV cooperative localization. In this paper, the communication among UAVs is described as Bernoulli random variables, and two kinds of cooperative localization algorithms are proposed. One is centralized algorithm, where a kind of one‐step prediction strategy is designed. The other is distributed algorithm, where a kind of prediction‐compensation strategy is proposed and weighted expectation state estimation method is designed. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.
Investigation and modelling of edge corrosion of e‐coated galvanized steel with respect to the spatial edge orientation (2021)

Abstract The effect of the spatial orientation of e‐coated hot dip galvanized test sheets on edge corrosion is investigated. Therefore paint delamination from corrosion sample edges at different steps in time of samples at different angles relative to the horizontal during a corrosion test is analysed. Two general relations are found: Horizontally oriented edges exhibit significantly increased coating delamination compared with vertically oriented edges. This is due to increased exposure to the electrolyte, resulting from the pinning of electrolyte droplets along the upper edge. With increasing angular displacement relative to the ground, electrolyte exposure and edge delamination decrease. The edges of the upward‐facing specimen side showed a higher delamination width compared with the downward‐facing side at the same angle. These results are supported by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and a wetting test. Ultimately, a semi‐empirical model to numerically predict the edge delamination over time, incorporating electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and polarization curves, is presented.
Computerized algorithm for 3D teeth segmentation (2010)

This paper presents the computerized segmentation algorithm on the 3D digital dental model for separating individual tooth using Borland C++ Builder <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">®</sup> and OpenGL. The purpose is to apply the algorithm in the 3D orthodontic diagnosis and treatment software package. The method consists of 5 main steps as follows. First the digital dental model is produced by 3D scanner in STL format and the occlusal plane is calculated. Second the arch form of the model is approximated. Third the panoramic of the dental cast in 3D system is constructed. Fourth, the 3D-panoramic is converted to 2D system to find the cutting points for segmentation of individual tooth, and finally the 2D image is converted back to 3D system for creating the vertical plane for separating teeth into difference colors at the cutting points. The result has shown that the 3D digital dental model can be segmented for separating individual tooth, and the algorithm is ready to apply in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment software package.

Vaccination of mice and swine with a pseudorabies virus mutant lacking thymidine kinase activity. (1987)

A thymidine kinase deficient mutant of the Indiana-Funkhauser strain of pseudorabies virus was tested for its ability to stimulate protective immunity in mice and young pigs. Mice vaccinated intraperitoneally were protected from morbidity and mortality when challenged with 50 LD50 of virulent pseudorabies virus. Eight week old pigs were protected from serious morbidity and mortality when challenged with virulent pseudorabies virus. The thymidine kinase mutant was not shed from the nasal passages of pigs vaccinated intramuscularly, but did not prevent shedding of challenge virus.

Application of Neural Networks in Diagnosing Cancer Disease using Demographic Data (2010)

Artificial Neural Network is a branch of Artificial intelligence, has been accepted as a new technology in computer science. Neural Networks are currently a 'hot' research area in medicine, particularly in the fields of radiology, urology, cardiology, oncology and etc. It has a huge application in many areas such as education, business; medical, engineering and manufacturing .Neural Network plays an important role in a decision support system. In this paper, an attempt has been made to make use of neural networks in the medical field (carcinogenesis (pre-clinical study)). In carcinogenesis, artificial neural networks have been successfully applied to the problems in both pre-clinical and post-clinical diagnosis. The main aim of research in medical diagnostics is to develop more cost-effective and easy-to-use systems, procedures and methods for supporting clinicians. It has been used to analyze demographic data from lung cancer patients with a view to developing diagnostic algorithms that might improve triage practices in the emergency department. For the lung cancer diagnosis problem, the concise rules extracted from the network achieve an high accuracy rate of on the training data set and on the test data set.
Cianidanol ([+ ]-Cyanidanol-3) Prevents the Development of Abdominal Adhesions in Rats (1983)

Abdominal adhesions were experimentally induced in rats by gentle scraping. Severe adhesions developed in 38.7% of the control animals. The flavonoid cianidanol ( [+]-cyanidanol-3), an in vitro inhibitor of procollagen production, was administered intragastrically or intraperitoneally in doses of 9 to 72 mg per rat. Administered intraperitoneally at a dose of 36 or 72 mg per rat, cianidanol substantially inhibited adhesion formulation, when given immediately, three days, or five days after surgery. Oral administration of the drug was less effective in preventing the formation of adhesions. Thimerosal, another connective-tissue inhibitor, was found to be toxic at doses of 2.5 or 5 mg per rat, and its effect on the prevention of adhesion formation was poor. The ability of cianidanol to inhibit the development of abdominal adhesions in rats suggests that a possible approach to treatment is to inhibit the production of procollagen and thus prevent the formation of the collagenous fibers that are the cause of adhesions.

Sports Rules—Deserving Students and School Reformers Suffer: The Tragic Impact of the NCAA's Efforts to Impose Standards on High Schools (1998)

Is the National Collegiate Athletic Organization (NCAA), an organization whose central role is regulating college and university sports, really the appropriate group to dictate high school course standards? The NCAA's Initial Eligibility process illustrates the harm a poorly designed, badly implemented effort to impose standards from “on high “ can do to deserving students and talented educators. The NCAA's questionable standards and sloppy procedures have delayed or blocked thousands of high school students, including a National Merit Scholar, class valedictorians and other qualified students, from participating in college sports. A strong athletic record, good grades, and high test scores no longer guarantee that students will be able to participate in university sports—they now must take an acceptable number of NCAA-approved courses. The NCAA has also frustrated high school reformers by classifying many researched-based courses as inappropriate for college preparation. This article describes a growing national challenge to NCAA policies and procedures, and proposes next steps.

Molecular genetics of hereditary ovarian cancer. (1998)

Approximately 10% of all epithelial ovarian carcinoma cases are associated with inheritance of an autosomal-dominant genetic mutation conferring a predisposition to cancer with variable penetrance. Two such manifestations of hereditary ovarian cancer are currently recognized: the breast and ovarian cancer syndrome and the hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) syndrome. The breast and ovarian cancer syndrome is linked to the BRCA1 gene on chromosome 17q and, to a lesser extent, to the BRCA2 gene on chromosome 13q. The HNPCC syndrome is caused by any one of three known genes, hMSH2, hMLH1, and hPMS2, that encode proteins involved in the same pathway of DNA mismatch repair. Genetic screening for germ-line transmission of a defective allele of these genes is now possible for high-risk individuals. Despite the rapid pace of research advances in this area, however, considerable uncertainties remain regarding factors that affect the penetrance and tissue-specific expressivity of these mutations. Current research challenges include elucidating these modifying factors, gaining a better understanding of the biological function of BRCA1 and BRCA2 products, and determining the appropriate clinical intervention for genetically predisposed patients.
