EVtracker: An Event-Driven Spatiotemporal Method for Dynamic Object Tracking

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

An event camera is a novel bio-inspired sensor that effectively compensates for the shortcomings of current frame cameras, which include high latency, low dynamic range, motion blur, etc. Rather than capturing images at a fixed frame rate, an event camera produces an asynchronous signal by measuring the brightness change of each pixel. Consequently, an appropriate algorithm framework that can handle the unique data types of event-based vision is required. In this paper, we propose a dynamic object tracking framework using an event camera to achieve long-term stable tracking of event objects. One of the key novel features of our approach is to adopt an adaptive strategy that adjusts the spatiotemporal domain of event data. To achieve this, we reconstruct event images from high-speed asynchronous streaming data via online learning. Additionally, we apply the Siamese network to extract features from event data. In contrast to earlier models that only extract hand-crafted features, our method provides powerful feature description and a more flexible reconstruction strategy for event data. We assess our algorithm in three challenging scenarios: 6-DoF (six degrees of freedom), translation, and rotation. Unlike fixed cameras in traditional object tracking tasks, all three tracking scenarios involve the simultaneous violent rotation and shaking of both the camera and objects. Results from extensive experiments suggest that our proposed approach achieves superior accuracy and robustness compared to other state-of-the-art methods. Without reducing time efficiency, our novel method exhibits a 30% increase in accuracy over other recent models. Furthermore, results indicate that event cameras are capable of robust object tracking, which is a task that conventional cameras cannot adequately perform, especially for super-fast motion tracking and challenging lighting situations.

A Case of^|^ldquo;De Novo^|^rdquo;Aneurysm of Anterior Communicating Artery Formed Two Years and Eight Months after the Initial Cerebral Angiogram

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

We describe a case of de novo aneurysm formed 2 years and 8 months after the initial cerebral angiogram. The patient, a 52-year-old male, suffered from subarachnoid hemorrhage on September 25, 1996. He was admitted to our department two days after onset. He has a past history of cerebral infarction and hypertension. Cerebral angiogram revealed an aneurysm at left A1-A2, junction that was not found on his first angiogram. We diagnosed this as a de novo aneurysm and performed an operation on September 30. The ruptured aneurysm was successfully clipped through the left pterional approach. He was discharged from our hospital with no neurological deficits. De novo aneurysms are not common findings and most are formed because of the change of hemodynamics of the circle of Willis after IC occlusion has taken place or IC ligation has been carried out.Some authors reported the coexistence of this new aneurysm and a persistent primitive artery. In our case, there was no vascular anomaly that influenced the formation of de novo aneurysm nor a history of the operation of other aneurysms. It is very interesting that a de novo aneurysm could be formed within a very short follow-up period as in our case, in which the aneurysm was not accompanied by subarachnoid hemorrhage at the first cerebral angiogram. In this paper we discuss the nature of de novo aneurysm and compare our case with the reported cases.
Capsaicin and Plant Characters in Chillies

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Analysis of red chillies of their capsaicin content and its correlation with different plant characters revealed the existence of positive correlation between capsaicin and (i) log length of leaves, (ii) breadth of leaves (iii) surface area of leaves (iv) number of fruits per plant (v) and weight of fruits per plant. Non capsaicin nitrogen and capsaicin were found to have negative correlation with each other. Bright red coloured fruits with thin and pointed shape contained more capsaicin than other shaped/coloured fruits. Discriminant function for bunching and non-bunching cultivars is also reported.
Randomised trial of ambulatory oxygen in oxygen-dependent COPD

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

We would like to thank T.L. Petty for his interesting comments regarding our trial of ambulatory oxygen (AO) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) [1].The question raised by T.L. Petty was the following: when is the best time to initiate AO in oxygen-dependent COPD?He suggested AO should be provided as early as possible after the introduction of long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) to avoid rapid adjustment to the limitations imposed by the stationary oxygen delivery system.
A novel vessels feature extraction method in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM）

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In Chinese medicine, eye diagnosis is essential for diagnosis and treatment. However, most current image-processing techniques focus on tongue diagnosis, and most foreign studies on ocular diagnosis focus on segmenting fundus vascular images. Moreover, most of the foreign studies on scleral vessels are focused on identification rather than on TCM discernment. Scleral vessels can significantly characterize the pathological features of the human body’s five internal and six internal organs. Scleral vessels are essential for the objective study of TCM visual diagnosis. However, due to the small size and complex structure of scleral vessels, it is difficult to extract them by existing methods effectively. To achieve more accurate scleral blood vessel extraction, we introduce the residual connection structure and CA-Module attention mechanism in the U2Net1 network to avoid the incompatibility between high-level and low-level features and enhance the information extraction by input fusion and feature extraction of RSU blocks. The experimental results show that Miou achieves an accuracy of 83.3%. The F1-score reaches 91.7%, which is more effective than the existing SOTA fundus vascular segmentation network FR-UNet2 for the experiments. According to the experimental results, Res-U2Net can segment sclerar vessels accurately. In future experiments, we will improve the vessel feature extraction network to increase its accuracy and gradually achieve better results.
Terorisme Sebagai Extraordinary Crime Dalam Perspektif Hukum Internasional

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The writing of this research was conducted to determine the role of international law in overcoming terrorism which is included in one part of special crimes and is included in the form of extraordinary crimes, because these crimes are not the same as criminal acts in general. As we know, terrorism begins to threaten various nations. Thus, in its eradication it is necessary to deal with the perspective of international law because this crime does not only threaten individuals but poses a threat to state sovereignty. Therefore, terrorism crimes that can be classified as crimes against humanity should be considered as international crimes. This study uses the normative legal research method by examining a statutory regulation that applies to a particular legal issue
1A Note on Scalar Multiplication Using Division Polynomials

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

Scalar multiplication is the most important and expensive operation in elliptic curve cryptosystems. In this paper we improve the efficiency of the Elliptic Net algorithm to compute scalar multiplication by using the equivalence of elliptic nets. The proposed method saves four multiplications in each iteration loop. Experimental results also indicates that our algorithm will be more efficient than the previously known results in this line.
[The effect of a synthetic androgen (mesterolone) on semen quality].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

224 infertile men were treated with mesterolone (M.;30, or 60 mg/die) for a minimum of three months. When comparing semen analyses done before and after treatment with M., a small but distinct reduction of hyperspermia as well as an augmentation of hypospermia were evident, an increase of sperm density in oligozoospermia grade I (20-40 kx 10(6) sperm/ml) was revealed, and an improvement of sperm motility in asthenozoospermia was seen. These was no change in sperm morphology. According to our data, careful selection of patients for treatment with M. Based on aetio-pathogenic considerations appears to be the "salient point" in the administration M. As a general rule, treatment with M. should be confined to patients with mild idiopathic oligo (astheno) zoospermia where no specific therapy - such as, e.g., high ligation for varicocele - is available.
Business innovation and waste management sustainability: the case of door-to-door collection

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Purpose of the paper:The paper analyses the relationship between innovative kerbside recycling programs and the costs and profits of firms entrusted with waste collection.In particular, the paper disaggregates the effects of implementing and operating the green collection scheme and especially the increasingly popular door-todoor system.Methodology: It uses a panel of around 70 Italian firms specialized in waste management to estimate a short-run cost-profit function system, where recycling rates depend on the adopted collection schemes.The empirical model is framed within the triple-bottom-line paradigm, based on interconnections between environmental, economic and social sustainability.Findings: Results show that costs increase following the implementation of environmentally friendly programs while they decrease when recycling rates increase, possibly due to savings from the disposal side.Notable increases in profit level emerge just after the implementation of greener collection techniques as a result of enhanced mark-ups.The interpretation of this effect invokes a process of social legitimacy of the firms as theorized in the context of the institutional theory.Research limits: The paper might be improved by considering a more detailed analysis of the issue of vertical integration, concerning in particular the direct management of incinerators and landfills.Practical implications: The paper contributes to understanding the balance between costs and profitability when advanced recycling programs are put in place, especially for budget-constrained municipalities.Originality of the paper: The paper analyses and provides interpretation to the unexplored nexus between recycling programs and firm profits.
EvoSMS: An Event-Oriented Simulation Method for Multi-Core Real-Time Scheduling

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, an event-oriented simulation analysis approach was established for the schedulability analysis of multi-core embedded systems. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first to introduce an event-oriented simulation strategy into multi-core processor schedulability analysis. The proposed method transforms the conventional step-by-step simulation into a jump-based simulation process, thereby reducing redundant system state updates and improving computational efficiency. Task execution is abstracted as a time-axis folding operation, and two algorithms, RBTF and PBTF, are developed to optimize event generation and management, effectively lowering the algorithmic complexity of the simulation. Furthermore, to resolve core-mapping conflicts arising in global scheduling during jump-based simulation, a time-axis-unfolding-based dynamic core-mapping algorithm is proposed. By incorporating a time interval recycling mechanism and a priority inheritance algorithm, this method ensures correct job-to-core assignment and enables precise response time analysis under global scheduling policies. This approach reduced the simulation time by 96.24% on average while guaranteeing the accuracy and soundness of the analysis. It is primarily applicable to periodic tasks with implied deadlines, and future work will explore extending this method to support sporadic tasks and tasks with arbitrary deadlines.

Evaluation of a multisite weather generator on precipitation simulation in the Yangtze river basin

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Abstract This paper presents the evaluation of a multisite statistical weather generator (MulGETS: Multisite weather Generator of École de Technologie Supérieure) based on its simulation effect of precipitation in the Yangtze River Basin. MulGETS effectively generates spatially correlated sequences of precipitation simultaneously, while maintaining their spatial and temporal distribution characteristics. On the spatial scales, the accuracy of the model varies from station to station, and in general, the errors are lower at stations in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Basin than in the upper reaches. This difference is likely to exist because of the lower amount of rainfall and more complex topography than those of the upper river basins. On the temporal scales, the simulated values are more precise on the annual scale than on the seasonal scale. Large relative errors occur more frequently in winter, ranging from −35% to 25%. MulGETS can consistently produce precipitation by considering the intensity, magnitude, and duration indices with sub-basin varied observations. However, the precipitation maxima were much lower than the observations. This work shows the general reasonability of the model in downscaling precipitation in the Yangtze River Basin.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract— The research aims to know the condition of environmental parameters both from biological factors and physical factors of the Makassar Strait during the East season. The usability of the research ie can be to build and simulate dynamic models of fisheries systems. Data Collection has been carried since May 2019 to November 2019. Data collection on environmental parameters (temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen, flow velocity) and nutrients (nitrates and phosphates), phytoplankton and zooplankton abundance, , and gastric contents analysis were carried out, Method for analysing was used analysis of variance (ANOVA) to compare environmental parameters, nutrients and abundance of plankton between the three districts observed. The relationship between the abundance of plankton with environmental parameters was analyzed by using multiple linear regression analysis. Determination of trophic level is based on analysis of gastric contents using the TrophLab 2K program. Results of analysis of variance (ANOVA) between observation stations grouped in 6 months of observation showed that salinity was significantly different between locations and months of observation, temperature and pH were significantly different between months but did not differ according to location of observation, whereas DO levels did not show differences either between locations. The results of identification of phytoplankton types obtained during this research were dominated by diatoms. The type of zooplankton obtained is generally dominated by copepods. The result of gastric surgery is 10 dominant and economically valuable fish’s species belonging to planktivor, omnivor and carnivor fish, and based on ecosystems including pelagic and demersal fish.

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract. This paper examines some syntactic and semantic properties of the negative construction V+bo NP (VbN) in Taiwanese Southern Min (TSM). It finds out that there are ambiguities between an episode reading and a generic reading in VbN construction which require further investigations and explanations. Therefore, the goal of this paper is to account for the ambiguities lying in the negative VbN construction.
Fabrication and Catalytic Activity of Thermally Stable Gold Nanoparticles on Ultrastable Y (USY) Zeolites

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Au was deposited on ultrastable Y (USY) zeolites using an ion-exchange method. Up to 5.5 wt% Au was introduced into the NH4-form of USY zeolites. In contrast, deposition of Au hardly took place on the H- and Na-forms of Y-type zeolites, NH4-forms of mordenite, and ZSM-5. Treatment of the Au-loaded USY zeolite in a H2 atmosphere, afforded Au0 nanoparticles. These particles were thermally stable even at 973 K, where their mean particle diameter was 3.7 nm. In contrast, highly aggregated Au particles were observed after thermal treatment at temperatures lower than 523 K, followed by storage in air for a month. The resulting particle sizes were in good correlation with the IR band intensity of the adsorbed CO and the catalytic activity of Au in the aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohol. The Au nanoparticles showed highest activity when the Au/USY zeolite was thermally treated at 673–973 K. A negligible deactivation was observed after repeating the reaction at least 12 times. In the case of Au/TiO2 catalyst prepared by the deposition-precipitation method, the highest activity was observed at 573 K, which was lower than the temperature used for the Au/USY zeolites. This study demonstrated the potential use of the NH4-form of USY zeolites for supporting Au.

Mutational analysis of the N-terminal topogenic signal of watermelon glyoxysomal malate dehydrogenase using the heterologous host Hansenula polymorpha.

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

We have studied the significance of the N-terminal presequence of watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris) glyoxysomal malate dehydrogenase [gMDH; (S)-malate:NAD+ oxidoreductase; EC 1.1.1.37] in microbody targeting. The yeast Hansenula polymorpha was used as heterologous host for the in vivo expression of various genetically altered watermelon MDH genes, whose protein products were localized by immunocytochemical techniques. It is shown that the presequence of gMDH is essential and sufficient for peroxisomal targeting; it can target the mature part of the mitochondrial MDH to microbodies, whereas deletion of the presequence results in accumulation of the mature form of gMDH in the cytosol. Alignment of the N termini of several peroxisomal proteins that are assumed to contain a peroxisomal targeting signal at the N terminus (PTS2) suggested the consensus seqence RL-X5-HL. A similar motif is present in the presequence of watermelon gMDH--namely, 10RI-X5-17HL. Mutational analysis revealed that substitutions of 10RI into DD or 17HL into DE destroyed the topogenic information, whereas substitutions of 25M into I and 26EE into LV did not. By combining our data with recent analyses of others on the presequences of mammalian thiolases, it is concluded that the peroxisomal targeting information of PTS2 is contained in the consensus sequence RL/I-X5-HL. In contrast to the higher plant and mammals, the Hansenula yeast peroxisomes seem to lack an enzyme capable of removing microbody presequences of higher eukaryotes.
