Towards general motion-based face recognition (2010)

Motion-based face recognition is a young research topic, inspired mainly by psychological studies on motion-based perception of human faces. Unlike its close relative, appearance-based face recognition, motion-based face recognition extracts personal characteristics from facial motion (e.g. smile) and uses the information to recognize human identity. However, existing studies in this field are limited to fixed motion, that is - a subject must perform a specific type of facial motion in order to be correctly recognized. In this paper, we try to overcome this limitation by investigating the patterns of local skin deformation exhibited in facial motion. We are pushing the state-of-the-art towards general motion-based face recognition. Our approach is able to extract identity evidence from various types of facial motion, as long as those facial motions are at least, in some part of the face, locally similar to the facial motions used in training. We call our approach Local Deformation Profile (or LDP). This approach is tested through several experiments conducted over a video database of facial expression. The experiment results demonstrate the potential of LDP to be used for biometrics. We also evaluate LDP under extremely heavy face makeup, showing its usefulness to recognize faces even in disguise.
Totalsynthese des Hypericins (1957)

Abstract Aus 1‐Brom‐emodin‐trimethyläther, dessen Synthese sich ebenso wie die des Emodins erheblich verbessern ließ, wurde das 4.5.7.4′.5′.7′‐Hexahydroxy‐2.2′‐dimethyl‐ meso ‐naphthodianthron aufgebaut. Es erwies sich als identisch mit Hypericin aus Hypericum hirsutum. Damit ist die Konstitutionsformel des Hypericins auch durch Totalsynthese gesichert.

Chemical Composition and Antimicrobial Activity of the Essential Oil of Myrtus communis L. from Algeria (2010)

This study deals with the valorisation of medicinal and aromatic plants of the Algerian flora, in order to find new bioactive natural products. Myrtus communis essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation was investigated by capillary gas chromatography and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Twenty-seven volatile compounds were identified in the leaves essential oil; the major components were: -pinene (23.5 %), limonene (22.9 %), 1,8-cineole (16.1 %), linalool (13.0%), linalyl acetate (10.9%) and geranyl acetate (4.6%). The antibacterial activity of essential oils extracts was evaluated by the diffusion method and by the dilution method in liquid medium on pathogenic bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella sp, Proteus sp and Klebsiella sp).
Development of a porous polymer pH optrode (1992)

A novel fiber-optic pH sensor has been developed with long-term stability and high sensitivity. The sensor is based on a porous cellulose triacetate fiber immobilized with Congo Red (pH indicator). This intrinsic fiberoptic pH sensor has shown excellent sensitivity, reversibility, and stability. It has also been demonstrated that the pH optrode is immune to metal-ion interferences.
Targeted biomarker detection via whole protein ion trap tandem mass spectrometry: thymosin β<sub>4</sub> in a human lung cancer cell line (2005)

N-Terminally acetylated thymosin beta4, a species implicated for use as a cancer biomarker, was identified in a human lung cancer cell line using ion trap tandem mass spectrometry at the whole protein level. Ion-ion proton transfer reactions were used for parent ion concentration/manipulation and to simplify interpretation of product ion spectra. Dissociation data for the +6 to +3 charge states are reported. As is usually the case, structural information available from the ion trap collisional activation of the protein is sensitive to parent ion charge state. Each parent ion charge state selected, however, provided sufficient information to make a confident identification. Furthermore, each charge state provided relatively rich fragmentation. Therefore, any of the charge states can be used to detect with high specificity thymosin beta(4) in a complex protein mixture. There are advantages associated with the rapid detection of protein biomarkers at the whole protein level, as opposed to the peptide level following protein digestion, particularly for relatively small protein and polypeptide biomarkers. Having identified and characterized the protein, product ion spectra obtained directly, without recourse to ion-ion proton transfer reactions, can be used for library matching. However, ion-ion proton transfer reactions for parent ion concentration and charge state purification are advantageous in addressing relatively complex mixtures.
Effects of tenidap on the progression of osteoarthritic lesions in a canine experimental model. Suppression of metalloprotease and interleukin‐1 activity (1997)

Tenidap markedly reduced the severity of OA lesions, indicating the effect of this drug in decreasing the progression of disease. It appears that the drug acts by reducing the activity and/or expression of metalloproteases in cartilage, a process known to play a major role in the pathophysiology of OA lesions. This effect could be mediated by the suppressive effect of tenidap on IL-1 activity.

Huwe1-Mediated Ubiquitylation of Dishevelled Defines a Negative Feedback Loop in the Wnt Signaling Pathway (2014)

Wnt signaling plays a central role in development, adult tissue homeostasis, and cancer. Several steps in the canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling cascade are regulated by ubiquitylation, a protein modification that influences the stability, subcellular localization, or interactions of target proteins. To identify regulators of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, we performed an RNA interference screen in Caenorhabditis elegans and identified the HECT domain-containing ubiquitin ligase EEL-1 as an inhibitor of Wnt signaling. In human embryonic kidney 293T cells, knockdown of the EEL-1 homolog Huwe1 enhanced the activity of a Wnt reporter in cells stimulated with Wnt3a or in cells that overexpressed casein kinase 1 (CK1) or a constitutively active mutant of the Wnt co-receptor low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6 (LRP6). However, knockdown of Huwe1 had no effect on reporter gene expression in cells expressing constitutively active β-catenin, suggesting that Huwe1 inhibited Wnt signaling upstream of β-catenin and downstream of CK1 and LRP6. Huwe1 bound to and ubiquitylated the cytoplasmic Wnt pathway component Dishevelled (Dvl) in a Wnt3a- and CK1ε-dependent manner. Mass spectrometric analysis showed that Huwe1 promoted K63-linked, but not K48-linked, polyubiquitination of Dvl. Instead of targeting Dvl for degradation, ubiquitylation of the DIX domain of Dvl by Huwe1 inhibited Dvl multimerization, which is necessary for its function. Our findings indicate that Huwe1 is part of an evolutionarily conserved negative feedback loop in the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.
Modelling Organizations for Informat ion Systems Requirements Engineering (1992)

In attempting to understand information system environments during requirements engineering, it is often helpful to have an understanding of the “whys” as well as the “whats” about the environment. A natural way to answer why questions is by tracing them to goals. In an organizational environment , however, the “whys” do not originate from a single set of given goals. Organizational agents depend on each other for goals to be achieved, tasks to be performed, and resources to be furnished. A requirements model that captures knowledge about an organizational environment can be enriched by including the network of dependency relationships among agents. In this paper, we propose a set of intentional operators for modelling dependencies among agents, and present a preliminary axiomatic charac.terization.

Monitoring wireless sensor networks through logical deductive processes (2006)

This paper proposes a distributed multi-agent architecture for wireless sensor networks management, which exploits the dynamic reasoning capabilities of the situation calculus in order to emulate the reactive behavior of a human expert to fault situations. The information related to network events is generated by tunable agents installed on the network nodes and is collected by a logical entity for network managing where it is merged with general domain knowledge, with the aim of identifying the root causes of faults, and deciding on reparative actions. The logical inference system has being devised to carry out automated isolation, diagnosis, and, whenever possible, repair of network anomalies, thus enhancing the reliability, performance, and security of the network. To illustrate the advantages and potential benefits deriving from the reasoning capabilities of our management system, we also discuss an application scenario concerning the need of effectively coping with congestion arising in critical parts of the network
Holography as deep learning (2017)

Quantum many-body problem with exponentially large degrees of freedom can be reduced to a tractable computational form by neural network method [G. Carleo and M. Troyer, Science 355 (2017) 602, arXiv:1606.02318.] The power of deep neural network (DNN) based on deep learning is clarified by mapping it to renormalization group (RG), which may shed lights on holographic principle by identifying a sequence of RG transformations to the AdS geometry. In this paper, we show that any network which reflects RG process has intrinsic hyperbolic geometry, and discuss the structure of entanglement encoded in the graph of DNN. We find the entanglement structure of DNN is of Ryu–Takayanagi form. Based on these facts, we argue that the emergence of holographic gravitational theory is related to deep learning process of the quantum-field theory.

A Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Phase II Trial of Thalidomide in Asymptomatic HIV-Positive Patients: Clinical Tolerance and Effect on Activation Markers and Cytokines (1997)

A randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled study was performed to determine the safety, efficacy, and effect of thalidomide on a variety of immunological and biochemical parameters in asymptomatic human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients. Nineteen male patients with elevated markers of immune activation and CD4 cell counts above 400/mm3 were randomized to either placebo or thalidomide at 100 mg/day for 24 weeks. However, only 3 (of 10) patients receiving thalidomide completed all 24 weeks compared to 6 (of 9) patients receiving placebo. This was mainly due to fatigue (somnolence is a recognized side effect), although this was also seen to a lesser extent in the placebo group and so may not be drug attributable. No significant changes in CD4/CD8 count, activation markers, TNF-alpha, or TNFR1 were observed. However, a nonsignificant trend toward inhibition of mitogen-induced TNF-alpha production was observed in the thalidomide arm. The lack of systemic effect and the lower tolerance of thalidomide (at this dose) in asymptomatic patients highlights the need for pharmacokinetic analysis to address possible absorption problems and the need for more potent and less toxic TNF-alpha inhibitors to be developed for use in this type of study.
LATEST DEVONIAN (FAMENNIAN) TO EARLIEST CARBONIFEROUS (TOURNAISIAN) BRACHIOPODS FROM THE BACHU FORMATION OF THE TARIM BASIN, XINJIANG PROVINCE, NORTHWEST CHINA (2015)

Brachiopods are described from two horizons of the Bachu Formation from the Bachu area of the Tarim Basin, Xinjiang Province, northwest China. We assign the brachiopods from the basal Bachu Formation to late Famennian and correlate those from its upper part to the Eochoristites-Martiniella Assemblage of South China, of early Tournaisian age. The brachiopod fauna of the Bachu Formation exhibits strong generic and specific links with coeval South Chinese faunas, suggesting a close biogeographical affinity with the South China block. Eleven species are described, including one new species, Ptychomaletoechia bachuensis sp. nov.
Folate status, vascular disease and cognition in elderly Canadians (1998)

Low folate level was a significant explanatory variable for stroke. Low folate levels were common in all types of dementia and were associated with a history of weight loss, lower body mass index and lower serum albumin concentrations. This may reflect the reduced ability of cognitively impaired individuals to eat adequately.

Intercalation of Trioxatriangulenium Ion in DNA:  Binding, Electron Transfer, X-ray Crystallography, and Electronic Structure (2003)

Trioxatriangulenium ion (TOTA(+)) is a flat, somewhat hydrophobic compound that has a low-energy unoccupied molecular orbital. It binds to duplex DNA by intercalation with a preference for G-C base pairs. Irradiation of intercalated TOTA(+) causes charge (radical cation) injection that results in strand cleavage (after piperidine treatment) primarily at GG steps. The X-ray crystal structure of TOTA(+) intercalated in the hexameric duplex d[CGATCG](2) described here reveals that intercalation of TOTA(+) results in an unusually large extension of the helical rise of the DNA and that the orientation of TOTA(+) is sensitive to hydrogen-bonding interactions with backbone atoms of the DNA. Electronic structure calculations reveal no meaningful charge transfer from DNA to TOTA(+) because the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of TOTA(+), (LUMO)(T), falls in the gap between the highest occupied molecular orbital, (HOMO)(D), and the (LUMO)(D) of the DNA bases. These calculations reveal the importance of backbone, water, and counterion interactions, which shift the energy levels of the bases and the intercalated TOTA(+) orbitals significantly. The calculations also show that the inserted TOTA(+) strongly polarizes the intercalation cavity where a sheet of excess electron density surrounds the TOTA(+).
Further studies of the dynamic scattering mode in nematic liquid crystals (1970)

Evaluation of fabrication procedures and operating life have indicated that moisture can play a major role in determining the performance of nematic liquid crystal displays based on the dynamic scattering mode (DSM) in anisylidene-p-aminophenyl-acetate. There is strong evidence that the presence of moisture promotes electron injection by lowering the potential barrier between the metal electrode and the liquid crystal. This could arise from a lowering of the effective work function of the metal by adsorption and/or increasing the electron affinity of the liquid crystal by molecular attachment. In any case the injected electron is captured by a neutral molecule and transported as a negative ion. The electron is removed by an oxidation process at the anode leaving the original molecular species free to repeat the process. It was also found that a short pulse (shorter than a space charge build-up time) could be used to electrically quench dynamic scattering and appreciably reduce the relaxation time. The use of this new scheme significantly improves the brightness and contrast of matrix addressed, real time displays based on dynamic scattering. A novel "laminate" structure for realizing such displays is also presented.
The Synthesis of Trisubstituted Enol Ethers and of Methyl Ketones from Ketones (1973)

A reliable method for the synthesis of trisubstituted enol ethers (and of the corresponding methyl ketones) is described involving the condensation of the α-lithiated 2-methoxypropionic acid salt with a ketone to give a β-hydroxy acid, the cyclization to a β-lactone which is then decarboxylated (and mild acid hydrolysis of the enol ether).
