Adaptive Feature Fusion via Graph Neural Network for Person Re-identification (2019)

Person Re-identification (ReID) targets to identify a probe person appeared under multiple camera views. Existing methods focus on proposing a robust model to capture the discriminative information. However, they all generate a representation by mining useful clues from a given single image, and ignore the intercommunication with other images. To address this issue, we propose a novel network named Feature-Fusing Graph Neural Network (FFGNN), which fully utilizes the relationships among the nearest neighbors of the given image, and allows message propagation to update the feature of the node during representation learning. Given an anchor image, the FFGNN firstly obtains its Top-K nearest images based on the feature generated by the trained Feature-Extracting Network(FEN). We then construct a graph G based on the obtained K+1 images, in which each node represents the feature of an image. The edge of the graph G is obtained by combing the visual similarity and Jaccard similarity between nodes. Within the constructed graph G, FFGNN conducts message propagation and adaptive feature fusion between nodes by iteratively performing graph convolutional operation on the input features. Finally, the FFGNN outputs a robust and discriminative representation which contains the information from its similar images. Extensive experiments on three public person ReID datasets including Market-1501, DukeMTMC-ReID, and CUHK03 demonstrate that the proposed model can achieve significant improvement against state-of-the-art methods.
Effects of amylin-related peptides on food intake, meal patterns, and gastric emptying in rats (2002)

We previously demonstrated that amylin inhibits food intake and gastric emptying in rats with half-maximal effective doses (ED(50)s) of 8 and 3 pmol x kg(-1) x min(-1) and maximal inhibitions of 78 and 60%, respectively. In this study of identical design, rats received intravenous infusions of salmon calcitonin (sCT), rat calcitonin (rCT), rat calcitonin gene-related peptide (rCGRP), and rat adrenomedullin (rADM) for 3 h at dark onset, and food intake was measured for 17 h or for 15 min and gastric emptying of saline was measured during the final 5 min. sCT, rCGRP, and rADM inhibited food intake with estimated ED(50)s of 0.5, 26, and 35 pmol x kg(-1) x min(-1) and maximal inhibitions of 88, 90, and 49%, respectively. rCT was not effective at doses up to 100 pmol x kg(-1) x min(-1). sCT, rCGRP, rADM, and rCT inhibited gastric emptying with ED(50)s of 1, 130, 160, and 730 pmol x kg(-1) x min(-1) and maximal inhibitions of 60, 66, 60, and 33%, respectively. These results suggest that amylin and sCT may act by a common mechanism to decrease food intake, which includes inhibition of gastric emptying.

Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation of Corn Straw to Lactic Acid (2010)

The utilization of corn straw to produce lactic acid could largely save the resource as well as decrease the amount of agricultural waste. In this study, orthogonal experimental design was adopted to investigate the optimum conditions for cellulase production from corn straw, and then the cellulase was further used to produce lactic acid through simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process. (NH4)2SO4 and Tween 80 were also used to test their effects on lactic acid production. The optimum conditions were determined as follows: solid-to-liquid ratio was = 1 : 3, pH of the substrate mixture was 4.5, inoculum size of Trichoderma koningii was G = 12 % (v/m), fermentation time was t = 84 h. Corresponding maximum cellulase of H = 2630.3 U g straw was achieved. With the produced cellulase added, the maximum lactic acid concentration of = 20.2 g L could be achieved inoculated with lactic acid bacteria T50 at = 45 °C. As compared with control (non-addition), addition of w = 2 % (NH4)2SO4 could increase the lactic acid by 3.6 %, while addition of Tween 80 could shorten the fermentation time from t = 108 h to t = 72 h. The result indicated that utilization of corn straw as substrate to produce cellulase and lactic acid was applicable and could reduce pollution, thus this was worth investigating further.
On demand network-wide VPN deployment in GPRS (2002)

Mobile Internet requires enhanced security services available to all mobile subscribers in a dynamic fashion. A network-wide virtual private network deployment scenario over the General Packet Radio Service is proposed and analyzed from a security viewpoint. The proposed security scheme improves the level of protection that is currently supported in GPRS and facilitates the realization of mobile Internet. It secures data transmission over the entire network route from a mobile user to a remote server by utilizing the default GPRS ciphering over the radio interface, and by deploying an IP VPN over the GPRS core, as well as on the public Internet. Thus, on-demand VPN services are made available for all GPRS network subscribers and roaming users. The VPN functionality, which is based on the IPsec framework, is outsourced to the network infrastructure to eliminate the potential computational overhead on the mobile device. The VPN initialization and key agreement procedures are based on an Internet Key Exchange protocol proxy scheme, which enables the mobile station to initiate VPN establishment, while shifting the complex key negotiation to the network infrastructure. The deployed VPN operates transparently to the mobile subscribers' movement. The required enhancements for security service provision can be integrated in the existing network infrastructure; therefore, the propose security scheme can be employed as an add-on feature to the GPRS standard.

A Genetic Algorithm for joint optimization of spare capacity and delay in self-healing network (2002)

This paper presents the use of multi-objective Genetic Algorithms (mGA) to solve the capacity and routing assignment problem arising in the design of self-healing networks using the Virtual Path (VP) concept. The aims to minimize the sum of working and backup capacity usage and transmission delay often compete and contradict with each other. Multi-objective Genetic algorithm is a powerful method for this kind of multi-objective problems. In this paper, a multi-objective GA approach is proposed to achieve the above two objectives while a set of customer traffic demands can still be satisfied and the traffic is 100% restorable under a single point of failure. We carried out a few experiments and the results illustrate the trade-off between objectives.
[Vascularized free tissue transplantation. A report of 147 cases]. (1993)

From May 1978 to Dec. 1990, 147 cases of vascularized free tissue transplantation for repairing tissue defects or reconstructing superficial organ have been carried out. Their overall survival rate was 95.9%. Among them, 88 flaps were used and its survival rate was 95.4%, 25 cases (17%) of various complications occurred in the donor sites.
Role of Endothelial Lipase in Plasma HDL levels in a Murine Model of Hypertriglyceridemia (2009)

EL regulates plasma HDL levels in mice in the normolipidemic as well as the acute hypertriglyceridemic state. EL can modulate plasma HDL-CHOL levels through both its lipolytic and ligand-binding functions in hypertriglyceridemic mice, while lipolytic activity appears to be the main determinant for its effects on HDL metabolism in normolipidemic mice.
A bioassay for studying behavioural responses of the common bed bug, <i>Cimex lectularius</i> (Hemiptera: Cimicidae) to bed bug-derived volatiles (2010)

The common bed bug, Cimex lectularius (Hemiptera: Cimicidae), has recently re-emerged in increasing numbers, distribution and intensity of infestation in many countries. Current control relies on the application of residual pesticides; but, due to the development of insecticide resistance, there is a need for new tools and techniques. Semiochemicals (behaviour and physiology modifying chemicals) could be exploited for management of bed bugs. However, in order to identify semiochemicals that can be utilised in monitoring or control, a suitable olfactometer is needed that enables the study of the responses of bed bugs to volatile chemicals. Previous studies have used olfactometers that do not separate olfactory responses from responses to physical contact. In this study, a still-air olfactometer was used to measure behavioural responses to different bed bug-derived volatiles presented in an odour pot. Bed bugs were significantly more likely to visit the area above the odour pot first, and more frequently, in the presence of volatiles from bed bug-exposed paper but not in the presence of volatiles from conspecific bed bugs. Bed bug activity was found to be dependent on the presence of the volatiles from bed bug-exposed paper, the time during the scotophase and the sex of the insect being tested. The still-air olfactometer could be used to test putative semiochemicals, which would allow an understanding of their behavioural role in bed bug ecology. Ultimately, this could lead to the identification of new semiochemical tools for bed bug monitoring and control.
Experimental combined hormone therapy on human breast carcinomas serially transplanted into nude mice. (1986)

Experimental combined hormone therapy with tamoxifen, aminoglutethimide and medroxyprogesterone acetate was investigated using three hormone-dependent human breast carcinomas serially transplanted into nude mice. The antitumor effect of combined tamoxifen and aminoglutethimide was better than that of either tamoxifen or aminoglutethimide alone. Since aminoglutethimide significantly reduced the level of estrogen and the uterine weight in normal female mice, the antitumor effect of combined tamoxifen and aminoglutethimide was assumed to be a result of the low estrogen level produced by aminoglutethimide, favoring the competition of tamoxifen with estrogen receptors. There was no additive antitumor effect of the combination of tamoxifen and medroxyprogesterone acetate, although serum medroxyprogesterone acetate levels in nude mice were almost equivalent to those of humans. These results indicate that combination hormone therapy, especially with and aminoglutethimide, might be a promising method for clinical application.
[Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy for chronic pulmonary thromboembolism in three patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and antiphospholipid syndrome]. (2000)

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a serious and often fatal complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Several potential mechanisms have been postulated for narrowing of vessels as a result of pulmonary vasculitis and pulmonary thromboembolism caused by antiphospholipid antibodies. Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy for chronic pulmonary thromboembolism is performed to alleviate pulmonary hypertension. We report three rare cases of SLE with antiphospholipid syndrome in patients who presented with PH secondary to chronic pulmonary thromboembolism. Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy was performed, and all patients remained well without deterioration of PH after surgery. Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy should be considered as an effective method of treatment for this disease.
Phospholipid scramblase 1 expression is enhanced in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (2013)

Objective: Thrombus formation is the key event of vascular manifestations in antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Phosphatidylserine (PS) is normally sequestered in the inner leaflet of cell membranes. Externalization of PS occurs during cell activation and is essential for promoting blood coagulation and for the binding of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) to cells. One of the molecules involved in PS externalization is phospholipid scramblase 1 (PLSCR1). We evaluated PLSCR1 expression on monocytes from APS patients and analyzed the in vitro effect of monoclonal aPL on PLSCR1 expression. Patients and methods: Forty patients with APS were investigated. In vitro experiments were performed in monocyte cell lines incubated with monoclonal aPL. PLSCR1 expression was determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reactions. PS exposure on CD14<sup>+</sup> cell surface was analyzed by flow cytometry. Results: Levels of full-length PLSCR1 messenger RNA (mRNA) were significantly increased in APS patients compared with healthy controls (2.4 ± 1.2 vs. 1.3 ± 0.4, respectively, <italic>p</italic> < 0.001). In cultured monocytes, interferon alpha enhanced tissue-factor expression mediated by β2-glycoprotein-I-dependent monoclonal anticardiolipin antibody. Conclusions: Monocytes in APS patients had increased PLSCR1 mRNA expression.
Real Time Target Tracking with Pan Tilt Zoom Camera (2009)

We present an approach for real-time tracking of a non-rigid target with a moving pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera. The tracking of the object and control of the camera is handled by one computer in real time. The main contribution of the paper is method for target representation, localisation and detection, which takes into account both foreground and background properties, and is more discriminative than the common colour histogram based back-projection. A Bayesian hypothesis test is used to decide whether each pixel is occupied by the target or not. We show that this target representation is suitable for use with a Continuously Adaptive Mean Shift (CAMSHIFT) tracker. Experiments show that this leads to a tracking system that is efficient and accurate enough to guide a PTZ camera to follow a moving target in real time, despite the presence of background clutter and partial occlusion.

Nuclear import of activated D-ERK by DIM-7, an importin family member encoded by the gene <i>moleskin</i> (2001)

The initiation of gene expression in response to Drosophila receptor tyrosine kinase signaling requires the nuclear import of the MAP kinase, D-ERK. However, the molecular details of D-ERK translocation are largely unknown. In this regard, we have identified D-Importin-7 (DIM-7), the Drosophila homolog of vertebrate importin 7, and its gene moleskin. DIM-7 exhibits a dynamic nuclear localization pattern that overlaps the spatial and temporal profile of nuclear, activated D-ERK. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments show that DIM-7 associates with phosphorylated D-ERK in Drosophila S2 cells. Furthermore, moleskin mutations enhance hypomorphic and suppress hypermorphic D-ERK mutant phenotypes. Deletion or mutation of moleskin dramatically reduces the nuclear localization of activated D-ERK. Directly linking DIM-7 to its nuclear import, this defect can be rescued by the expression of wild-type DIM-7. Mutations in the Drosophila Importin beta homolog Ketel, also reduce the nuclear localization of activated D-ERK. Together, these data indicate that DIM-7 and Ketel are components of the nuclear import machinery for activated D-ERK.
Effects of the breed, sex and age on cellular content and growth factor release from equine pure-platelet rich plasma and pure-platelet rich gel (2013)

Our results indicated that P-PRP obtained by a manual method was affected by intrinsic factors such as the breed, gender and age. Equine practitioners should be aware that cellular and GF release from P-PRP/P-PRG could change according with the intrinsic variables associated with a patient in particular.

Efficiency improvement and NOx emission reduction potentials of two-stage turbocharged Miller cycle for stationary natural gas engines (2004)

As a part of an engine research and development project in cooperation with industry, a V20 engine is designed with two-stage high-pressure turbocharging, and the potential of the Miller cycle is examined through calculations using computational models based on experimental as well as computational studies. The stationary gas engines must produce less than 250 mg Nm−3 in 5% excess of O2, additionally the amount of NOx emissions and their dependence on engine operational and design conditions are investigated by using a zero-dimensional reaction kinetic model. The results show an increase in efficiency, also the amount of NOx emissions is kept under the constraint value of 250 mg Nm−3 for stationary engines. The results obtained here promise a very high improvement potential for future emission regulations. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Synthesis of ZIF‐8 and ZIF‐67 by Steam‐Assisted Conversion and an Investigation of Their Tribological Behaviors (2010)

Water difference: Using H2O as the reaction medium in a conventional hydrothermal synthesis gives two nonporous materials with dense dia frameworks, dia(Zn) and dia(Co), from 2-methylimidazole and M(OAc)2 (M=Zn, Co; see structures, left). However, separation of the H2O and a solid mixture of the same starting materials in a steam-assisted conversion gives open-framework porous materials, ZIF-8 and ZIF-67 (right).

Detection of human cytomegalovirus in normal and neoplastic breast epithelium (2010)

These findings are the first to demonstrate that persistent HCMV infection occurs in breast epithelium in a significant percentage of normal adult females. HCMV expression was also evident in neoplastic breast epithelium in a high percentage of normal and neoplastic breast tissues obtained from breast cancer patients, raising the possibility that viral infection may be involved in the neoplastic process.
REVIEW OF WHEEL-RAIL ROLLING CONTACT THEORIES (1980)

In this paper the rolling contact theories that emerged principally in the past two decades are described with special emphasis on their performance and on the ideas underlying them. Although a number of the theories are now obsolete, they all serve as a mine of ideas for those who seek to improve the present-day theory of rolling contact. Frictional contact between wheel and rail is crucial in the study of rail vehicle simulation.
Theory and experiment of the cavity-backed slot-excited dielectric resonator antenna (2000)

A slot-excited hemispherical dielectric resonator antenna backed by a rectangular cavity is studied theoretically and experimentally. The magnetic-type dyadic Green's function for the rectangular cavity is derived using the mode-matching method. An integral equation for the equivalent magnetic current is obtained by enforcing the boundary condition across the slot. The moment method with the Galerkin's procedure is then used to find the magnetic current in the slot and, hence, the input impedance of the antenna. Measurements were carried out to verify the theory and good agreement is obtained. The effects of the slot inclination angle, of the slot offset, and of the cavity size on the input impedance are discussed.

Origin of exciton emissions from an AlN p-n junction light-emitting diode (2011)

Exciton emissions from an AlN light-emitting diode with an improved emission efficiency of 1×10−4% were observed at 5.94 eV (208.7 nm) and 6.10 eV (203.2 nm) by current injection. The emission at 5.94 eV is attributed to an exciton emission originating from the crystal-field split off valence band (CH-exciton emission). Due to the large carrier-phonon interaction, the CH-exciton emission accompanies its phonon replicas. The emission at 6.10 eV is attributed to another exciton emission originating from heavy/light hole valence bands (HH/LH-exciton emission). From the emission energies, considering residual strain, the crystal-field splitting energy was determined to be −165 meV.
