Deep Learning for Saliency Prediction in Natural Video (2016)

The purpose of this paper is the detection of salient areas in natural video by using the new deep learning techniques. Salient patches in video frames are predicted first. Then the predicted visual fixation maps are built upon them. We design the deep architecture on the basis of CaffeNet implemented with Caffe toolkit. We show that changing the way of data selection for optimisation of network parameters, we can save computation cost up to 12 times. We extend deep learning approaches for saliency prediction in still images with RGB values to specificity of video using the sensitivity of the human visual system to residual motion. Furthermore, we complete primary colour pixel values by contrast features proposed in classical visual attention prediction models. The experiments are conducted on two publicly available datasets. The first is IRCCYN video database containing 31 videos with an overall amount of 7300 frames and eye fixations of 37 subjects. The second one is HOLLYWOOD2 provided 2517 movie clips with the eye fixations of 19 subjects. On IRCYYN dataset, the accuracy obtained is of 89.51%. On HOLLYWOOD2 dataset, results in prediction of saliency of patches show the improvement up to 2% with regard to RGB use only. The resulting accuracy of 76, 6% is obtained. The AUC metric in comparison of predicted saliency maps with visual fixation maps shows the increase up to 16% on a sample of video clips from this dataset.
Dynamic Pricing in a Dual Market Environment (2015)

This paper is concerned with the determination of pricing strategies for a firm that in each period of a finite horizon receives replenishment quantities of a single product which it sells in two markets, e.g., a long-distance market and an on-site market. The key difference between the two markets is that the long-distance market provides for a one period delay in demand fulfillment. In contrast, on-site orders must be filled immediately as the customer is at the physical on-site location. We model the demands in consecutive periods as independent random variables and their distributions depend on the item's price in accordance with two general stochastic demand functions: additive or multiplicative. The firm uses a single pool of inventory to fulfill demands from both markets. We investigate properties of the structure of the dynamic pricing strategy that maximizes the total expected discounted profit over the finite time horizon, under fixed or controlled replenishment conditions. Further, we provide conditions under which one market may be the preferred outlet to sale over the other.
9.4: A Novel Current Programmed Pixel for Active Matrix OLED Displays (2003)

Abstract A novel current programmed pixel and driving method for AMOLED displays have been developed. The newly developed pixel, which is called ‘Current‐Copy Pixel’, shows the highest potential to suppress luminance non‐uniformity. This pixel design was implemented into our developed full color AMOLED display, and its high luminance uniformity was confirmed.

Sigma-1 receptor agonist fluvoxamine for delirium in intensive care units: report of five cases (2010)

Doctors should consider fluvoxamine as an alternative approach to treating delirium in ICU patients in order to avoid the risk of side effects and increased mortality from antipsychotic drugs.
Human postural sway results from frequent, ballistic bias impulses by soleus and gastrocnemius (2005)

It has been widely assumed for nearly a century, that postural muscles operate in a spring-like manner and that muscle length signals joint angle (the mechano-reflex mechanism). Here we employ automated analysis of ultrasound images to resolve calf muscle (soleus and gastrocnemius) length changes as small as 10 mum in standing subjects. Previously, we have used balancing of a real inverted pendulum to make predictions about human standing. Here we test and confirm these predictions on 10 subjects standing quietly. We show that on average the calf muscles are actively adjusted 2.6 times per second and 2.8 times per unidirectional sway of the body centre of mass (CoM). These alternating, small (30-300 microm) movements provide impulsive, ballistic regulation of CoM movement. The timing and pattern of these adjustments are consistent with multisensory integration of all information regarding motion of the CoM, pattern recognition, prediction and planning using internal models and are not consistent with control solely by local reflexes. Because the system is unstable, errors in stabilization provide a perturbation which grows into a sway which has to be reacted to and corrected. Sagittal sway results from this impulsive control of calf muscle activity rather than internal sources (e.g. the heart, breathing). This process is quite unlike the mechano-reflex paradigm. We suggest that standing is a skilled, trial and error activity that improves with experience and is automated (possibly by the cerebellum). These results complement and extend our recent demonstration that paradoxical muscle movements are the norm in human standing.
Mite and Cat Allergen Levels in Homes and Severity of Asthma (1995)

The relationships between mite and cat allergen levels in the home, skin test reactivity, and severity of asthma were explored in 120 asthmatic subjects, 57 in Vancouver and 63 in Winnipeg. Patients in the two cities were similar in age, gender distribution, and severity of asthma. Skin tests were performed using 13 common allergens, including D. pteronyssinus, D. farinae, and cat dander, as well as control subjects. Patients recorded their asthma symptoms, medication requirement, and twice daily peak expiratory flow rate for 1 yr. Dust samples were collected every 3 mo during each season of 1992 through 1993 in both cities. Mite and cat allergen levels were determined with an ELISA using monoclonal antibodies against Der p I, Der f I, and Fel d I. There was no relationship between skin test reactivity and levels of mite and cat allergens. In children with positive skin tests to either mite allergen, total mite (sum of Der p I and Der f I) allergen level was positively related to the mean daily symptom score and negatively related to the daily mean PEF (% of predicted). There was no such relationship among adult asthmatic patients with positive skin tests to either mite allergen. No relationship was found between cat allergen level and the severity of asthma.

Role of eslicarbazepine in the treatment of epilepsy in adult patients with partial-onset seizures (2010)

Eslicarbazepine is a new dibenzazepine antiepileptic agent. It is a high affinity antagonist of the voltage-gated sodium channel. It is closely related to both carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine. Eslicarbazepine has similar affinity to inactivated sodium channels (channels in just activated neurons) as carbamazepine, and greater efficacy in animal models of seizure than oxcarbazepine. In human placebo-controlled trials of a single daily dose of eslicarbazepine added to other anti-epileptic agents, significant seizure reductions occurred with 800 and 1200 mg daily, with nearly half of the patients experiencing a greater than 50% reduction in seizure frequency. Adverse events (AEs) occurred in over 50% of patients receiving therapeutic doses of eslicarbazepine (compared to 31.4%-44.7% of placebo-treated subjects), but were generally mild or moderate. Eight to 19.6% of eslicarbazepine treated patients discontinued due to AEs (compared to 3.9%-8.5% of placebo-treated subjects). In these patients receiving combination anticonvulsant therapy, the most common AEs were dizziness, nausea and vomiting, somnolence, and diplopia. Eslicarbazepine is an effective and reasonably well-tolerated adjunct in patients with suboptimal control of their partial seizures.
Design and Fabrication of a Micro Electro Mechanical Systems-Based Electrolytic Tilt Sensor (2006)

An electrolytic tilt sensor has been designed and fabricated using micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) technique. The anisotropic KOH etching is used to form a deep Si cavity where conductive electrolyte solution is filled in. Au/NiCr electrodes are simultaneously deposited and patterned using e-beam evaporator with an aligned shadow mask, which is fabricated by through-wafer via etching on a 400-µm-thick Si wafer. A composite electrolyte of 4.8 µL in the volume is filled in the anisotropically-etched cavity that has a volume of 7.3 µL. The electrolyte solution is comprised of variable amount of KCl and a mixture of deionized (DI) water, ethanol and methanol (50, 25, and 25 vol %, respectively). When the electrolyte is injected into the cavity, a cover glass is bonded to seal the electrolyte solution. The fabricated electrolytic tilt sensor is excited by an alternating current to prevent electrolysis in the electrolyte-filled cavity and measured by Wheatstone bridge setup that reads the variation of resistance with respect to an incoming inclination. The measured output characteristic of the MEMS-based electrolytic tilt sensor is as good as that of a conventional electrolytic tilt sensor. Moreover, MEMS-based sensor prevails in its small size, low cost and possible mass production.
Thermal Recovery Behavior of Fluorinated Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (2001)

The thermal recovery behavior of fluorinated single-walled carbon nanotubes has been systematically examined by UV−vis−near-IR absorption spectroscopy, IR absorption spectroscopy and electric resistance measurements under different annealing temperatures. The decrease in the IR intensity of C−F stretch bands centered at about 1207 cm-1 and the reduced resistance of the nanotube samples with heat annealing indicates that pristine nanotubes are recovered by the removal of sidewall groups. After annealing at 100 °C in noble gases, the IR spectrum shows nanotube features of A2u mode at 867 cm-1 and E1u mode at 1579 cm-1. Correspondingly, in the UV−vis−near-IR spectrum, only a new feature at about 640 nm (1.9 eV) is observed. At higher annealing temperatures ≥150 °C, the intensity of the absorption features at 640 nm (1.9 eV) of metallic nanotubes, and 900 nm (1.4 eV) and 1630 nm (0.8 eV) of semiconducting nanotubes increases simultaneously. Generalized two-dimensional UV−vis−near-IR correlation spectroscopy has revealed that the thermal recovery behaviors of fluorinated metallic and semiconducting nanotubes are very similar at annealing temperatures between 150 and 350 °C, indicating that differentiation of these nanotubes for purification is difficult under those annealing conditions.
Immunoregulatory Function of IL-27 and TGF-β1 in Cardiac Allograft Transplantation (2012)

Taken together, these data suggest that both TGF-β1 and IL-27 play a role in the mechanisms of tolerance. However, in contrast to TGF-β1, IL-27 seems not to be involved in regulatory CD4CD25 T-cell expansion but rather in their mode of action.
Hybrid Photonic Integration on a Polymer Platform (2015)

To fulfill the functionality demands from the fast developing optical networks, a hybrid integration approach allows for combining the advantages of various material platforms. We have established a polymer-based hybrid integration platform (polyboard), which provides flexible optical input/ouptut interfaces (I/Os) that allow robust coupling of indium phosphide (InP)-based active components, passive insertion of thin-film-based optical elements, and on-chip attachment of optical fibers. This work reviews the recent progress of our polyboard platform. On the fundamental level, multi-core waveguides and polymer/silicon nitride heterogeneous waveguides have been fabricated, broadening device design possibilities and enabling 3D photonic integration. Furthermore, 40-channel optical line terminals and compact, bi-directional optical network units have been developed as highly functional, low-cost devices for the wavelength division multiplexed passive optical network. On a larger scale, thermo-optic elements, thin-film elements and an InP gain chip have been integrated on the polyboard to realize a colorless, dual-polarization optical 90° hybrid as the frontend of a coherent receiver. For high-end applications, a wavelength tunable 100Gbaud transmitter module has been demonstrated, manifesting the joint contribution from the polyboard technology, high speed polymer electro-optic modulator, InP driver electronics and ceramic electronic interconnects.

Electrical characterization of Schottky contacts of Au, Al, Gd, and Pt on <i>n</i>-type and <i>p</i>-type GaAs (1987)

The Schottky barrier heights of several metals (Au,Al,Gd, and Pt) fabricated by electron-beam deposition on n- and p-type GaAs were measured with I-V, C-V,and photoresponse techniques. In the as-deposited state, all metals gave very similar I-V characteristics for n-type substrates with a barrier height qφb=0.63−0.65 eV and ideality factor n=1.20-1.45. The poor I-V characteristics in the as-deposited state were consistent with the higher barrier height determined with the C-V characteristics. Moderate annealing at 350 °C for 30 min improved the I-V characteristics of all of them (qφb≂0.74 eV), as well as the photoyield in the internal photoemission process except the Au diode. No variation of the photothreshold energy was observed for n-type GaAs among the annealed contacts, suggesting that the Fermi-level is pinned by the native defects of GaAs. The barrier height was determined to be 0.90 eV for n-type GaAs. On p-type GaAs, the photothreshold energy varied and the barrier heights for Al,Gd,Au, and Pt were determined to be 0.89, 0.81, 0.70, and ohmic, respectively. The sum of the barrier heights for n and p type was therefore not equal to the band gap of GaAs. This implies that the pinning levels for n- and p-type surfaces are different. While there is pinning on a n-type surface, there is no pinning level for a p-type surface, so the barrier height on a p-type surface is dependent on the metal in contact.
Synthesis and Structural Characterization of P-Functionalized Metallacyclophosphazenes (1997)

A facile, high-yield synthesis of Cl(3)VNSiMe(3) (1) is reported. 1 and the metal nitride halides Cl(3)MoN and Cl(3)WN react with [{(Me(2)N)(2)PNH(2)}(2)N](+)Cl(-) to form the six-membered metallacyclophosphazenes [(Me(2)N)(2)PN](2)VCl(2) (2), [(Me(2)N)(2)PN](2)MoCl(3).MeCN (3), and [(Me(2)N)(2)PN](2)WCl(3).MeCN (4), respectively. The X-ray structure determinations of 2 and 3 show the compounds to have planar six-membered rings of distorted geometry.

APX3330 Promotes Neurorestorative Effects after Stroke in Type One Diabetic Rats (2018)

APX3330 is a selective inhibitor of APE1/Ref-1 redox activity. In this study, we investigate the therapeutic effects and underlying mechanisms of APX3330 treatment in type one diabetes mellitus (T1DM) stroke rats. Adult male Wistar rats were induced with T1DM and subjected to transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo) and treated with either PBS or APX3330 (10mg/kg, oral gavage) starting at 24h after MCAo, and daily for 14 days. Rats were sacrificed at 14 days after MCAo and, blood brain barrier (BBB) permeability, ischemic lesion volume, immunohistochemistry, cell death assay, Western blot, real time PCR, and angiogenic ELISA array were performed. Compared to PBS treatment, APX3330 treatment of stroke in T1DM rats significantly improves neurological functional outcome, decreases lesion volume, and improves BBB integrity as well as decreases total vessel density and VEGF expression, while significantly increases arterial density in the ischemic border zone (IBZ). APX3330 significantly increases myelin density, oligodendrocyte number, oligodendrocyte progenitor cell number, synaptic protein expression, and induces M2 macrophage polarization in the IBZ of T1DM stroke rats. Compared to PBS treatment, APX3330 treatment significantly decreases plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1), monocyte chemotactic protein-1 and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) and receptor for advanced glycation endproducts expression in the ischemic brain of T1DM stroke rats. APX3330 treatment significantly decreases cell death and MMP9 and PAI-1 gene expression in cultured primary cortical neurons subjected to high glucose and oxygen glucose deprivation, compared to untreated control cells. APX3330 treatment increases M2 macrophage polarization and decreases inflammatory factor expression in the ischemic brain as well as promotes neuroprotective and neurorestorative effects after stroke in T1DM rats.
Experimental Study on the Formation of Zeolites from Obsidian by Interaction with NaOH and KOH Solutions at 150 and 200 °C (1997)

Abstract Experimental alteration of obsidian was performed in 0.001 to 0.5 N NaOH and KOH solutions at 150 and 200 °C for 1 to 30 d. The products were examined by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). Changes in chemical composition and pH value of solutions during the reactions were also measured. As the pH of reacting solutions was increased, smectite, phillipsite and rhodesite crystallized progressively in NaOH solutions, while smectite, merlinoite and sanidine grew successively in KOH solutions. In addition, a small amount of less-soluble, poorly ordered boehmite was present as products of all the experiments. Smectite mainly appeared at slightly high pH, Si/Al and Na/K conditions, whereas rhodesite should be produced in extremely high pH, Na/K and Si/Al conditions. Sanidine was also formed in conditions of very high pH and Si/Al and very low Na/K. In intermediate conditions of pH and Si/Al, crystallization of phillipsite was stimulated in solutions of Na/K > 10, while formation of merlinoite was favored in conditions of Na/K < 1.
A unity bit coding method by negative feedback (1963)

Signal-to-noise performances of a unity bit coding method and the characteristics of an experimental video encoder based upon the principle are described. The system contains a signal integration process in addition to the original delta modulator and features capability of transmitting dc component of input signal. The characteristics of the quantizing noise to the signal frequency, the signal amplitude and the integrator time constant are obtained theoretically as well as experimentally. The characteristics of periodical noise which are inherent to the proposed system are also investigated. The design and the characteristics of an experimental encoder for digital transmission of video signals are described as examples of the experimental equipment constructed to demonstrate the realizability of the principle. The experimental results show that considerably good reproduction of video pictures is obtained with sampling frequency as low as 30 Mc and suggest that the proposed system well fulfills the purpose.
