Cooperative Inference with Interleaved Operator Partitioning for CNNs

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Deploying deep learning models on Internet of Things (IoT) devices often faces challenges due to limited memory resources and computing capabilities. Cooperative inference is an important method for addressing this issue, requiring the partitioning and distributive deployment of an intelligent model. To perform horizontal partitions, existing cooperative inference methods take either the output channel of operators or the height and width of feature maps as the partition dimensions. In this manner, since the activation of operators is distributed, they have to be concatenated together before being fed to the next operator, which incurs the delay for cooperative inference. In this paper, we propose the Interleaved Operator Partitioning (IOP) strategy for CNN models. By partitioning an operator based on the output channel dimension and its successive operator based on the input channel dimension, activation concatenation becomes unnecessary, thereby reducing the number of communication connections, which consequently reduces cooperative inference de-lay. Based on IOP, we further present a model segmentation algorithm for minimizing cooperative inference time, which greedily selects operators for IOP pairing based on the inference delay benefit harvested. Experimental results demonstrate that compared with the state-of-the-art partition approaches used in CoEdge, the IOP strategy achieves 6.39% ~ 16.83% faster acceleration and reduces peak memory footprint by 21.22% ~ 49.98% for three classical image classification models.
Asynchronous Event-based Line Tracking for Time-to-Contact Maneuvers in UAS

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This paper presents an bio-inspired event-based perception scheme for agile aerial robot maneuvering. It tries to mimic birds, which perform purposeful maneuvers by closing the separation in the retinal image (w.r.t. the goal) to follow time-to-contact trajectories. The proposed approach is based on event cameras, also called artificial retinas, which provide fast response and robustness against motion blur and lighting conditions. Our scheme guides the robot by only adjusting the position of features extracted in the event image plane to their goal positions at a predefined time using smooth time-to-contact trajectories. The proposed scheme is robust, efficient and can be added on top of commonly-used aerial robot velocity controllers. It has been validated on-board a UAV with real-time computation in low-cost hardware during sets of experiments with different descent maneuvers and lighting conditions.
Folliculotropic mycosis fungoides with leukaemic involvement in middle childhood: a rare encounter

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma in adults. However, it is rare in middle childhood. Such cases usually present with hypopigmented patches that may mimic common childhood dermatoses, thereby causing a delay in the diagnosis. Sezary syndrome is a rare and aggressive leukaemic variant of cutaneous lymphoma. We report a patient in middle childhood who presented with recurring non-specific folliculotropic manifestations. The final diagnosis of MF was arrived at after excluding all other possible dermatoses. Within a few months of skin manifestations, our index child was found to have blood involvement with similar clonal T-lymphoid cells. Such rapid development of Sezary syndrome within months of cutaneous presentation has never been described. There are no established treatment guidelines for the same in paediatric population. The patient underwent a matched sibling allogeneic transplant after a course of topical steroids and skin electron beam therapy.
Industrial hazards and safety management in pharmaceutical industry

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Hazard is a term associated with a substance that is likely to cause an injury in a given environment or situation. Industrial hazards are major occupational health and safety (OHS) issue in Pharmaceutical manufacturing. In recent years chemical safety and the sound management of chemicals have seen great progress at the global level. At the same time, the rapid growth in production and dissemination of both natural and synthetic chemicals has led to concern about their impact on the natural environment, and human health. In this way, the pharmaceutical industry has come to occupy a unique position. Practically no other commercial enterprises present such as a wide variety of potentially toxic exposures or such a rapidly changing advent of new chemical substances. In the pharmaceutical industry, this dynamic situation has been created by the increasing application of organic chemical synthesis as a technique for producing therapeutic substances. This renders the work of the plant physician so instructive. Industrial safety is needed to check all the possible chances of accidents for preventing loss of life and permanent disability of any industrial worker, any damage to machine and material leads to the loss of the whole establishment.
Parenchyma and Epidermal Cell Length in Relation to Plant Height and Culm Internode Length in Winter Wheat

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

1. Parenchyma and epidermal cell lengths and their relationship to culm internode length and plant height were studied in eight varieties of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grown in a field nursery at Lincoln, Nebraska, in 1954. 2. Both cell types differed significantly in length in the different internodes. Generally close agreement in cell length was observed for the two cell types in corresponding internodes. 3. An inverse relationship was found to exist between lengths of parenchyma cells and of culm internodes. The longest parenchyma cells occurred in the shortest (lowest) internode, and parenchyma cell length was less in each successively higher and longer internode. 4. Epidermal cell length followed somewhat the same pattern as parenchyma cell length but was less consistent. The shortest epidermal cells were always in the peduncle or longest internode, but the longest ones occurred variously in the first, second, or third internodes. 5. Significant varietal differences in cell length were found. The culms of tall varieties usually contained longer cells than short-growing varieties, although a number of exceptions were observed in some individual internodes of the varieties. 6. The numbers of parenchyma and epidermal cells contributing to culm internode length were calculated from the average cell and internode lengths. In all the varieties the numbers of both types of cells increased substantially in the higher and longer internodes of the culms. 7. The estimated total number of parenchyma cells contributing to culm length generally increased with the height of a variety; the relationship of total number of epidermal cells to plant height was less consistent.
Plane-filling curves of small degree over finite fields

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

A plane curve $C$ in $\mathbb{P}^2$ defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$ is called plane-filling if $C$ contains every $\mathbb{F}_q$-point of $\mathbb{P}^2$. Homma and Kim, building on the work of Tallini, proved that the minimum degree of a smooth plane-filling curve is $q+2$. We study smooth plane-filling curves of degree $q+3$ and higher.
Burn Injury

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Burn injury in small animals may be seen as a consequence of exposure to sources of heat, caustic household and industrial chemicals, or electric current. Burn trauma may be accidental in nature, or it may be malicious. Direct thermal trauma such as seen in household fires, following contact with scalding liquid such as water or tar, or heated surfaces such as radiators, stoves, or automobile exhaust pipes will result in immediate thermal wounds. The severity of the burn injury is determined by the evaluating the degree or depth of injury as well as the percentage of total body surface area involved. Burns occur when thermal energy is applied to tissue. The temperature of the heat source, the duration of contact, and the ability of the tissue to dissipate heat all influence the severity of the burn. Wound management involves protection of burned tissue.
Obesity-associated deficits in inhibitory control are phenocopied to mice through gut microbiota changes in one-carbon and aromatic amino acids metabolic pathways

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Background Inhibitory control (IC) is critical to keep long-term goals in everyday life. Bidirectional relationships between IC deficits and obesity are behind unhealthy eating and physical exercise habits. Methods We studied gut microbiome composition and functionality, and plasma and faecal metabolomics in association with cognitive tests evaluating inhibitory control (Stroop test) and brain structure in a discovery (n=156), both cross-sectionally and longitudinally, and in an independent replication cohort (n=970). Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in mice evaluated the impact on reversal learning and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) transcriptomics. Results An interplay among IC, brain structure (in humans) and mPFC transcriptomics (in mice), plasma/faecal metabolomics and the gut metagenome was found. Obesity-dependent alterations in one-carbon metabolism, tryptophan and histidine pathways were associated with IC in the two independent cohorts. Bacterial functions linked to one-carbon metabolism ( thyX,dut, exodeoxyribonuclease V), and the anterior cingulate cortex volume were associated with IC, cross-sectionally and longitudinally. FMT from individuals with obesity led to alterations in mice reversal learning. In an independent FMT experiment, human donor’s bacterial functions related to IC deficits were associated with mPFC expression of one-carbon metabolism-related genes of recipient’s mice. Conclusion These results highlight the importance of targeting obesity-related impulsive behaviour through the induction of gut microbiota shifts.

A study of the maintenance of patents by the non-residents in India: insights for strategic management of patents

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Managing patents is a core issue in the intellectual property management (IPM) of the firms. It entails two important activities: the patenting of new innovations and the renewal of patents. With the research on renewal data gaining momentum, this paper tries to study the renewal of patents in the pharma sector in India. Adopting a unique approach of studying both active and ceased patents of non-resident applicants in India, with the aid of descriptive methods and statistical tools as SPSS following trends, has been found. Business firms are the dominant patentees and single inventorship an emerging trend in India. While renewal patterns are quite applicant category specific, grant period is independent of the applicant category. In case of the patents category (ceased or active), maintenance duration is independent of the number of inventors but effective life of the patents varies with category of patents. The higher propensity to patent and maintenance show linkage with specific technology fields and the portfolio size.

Repository sealing concepts for the Nevada nuclear waste storage Investigations Project

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

This report describes concepts for sealing a nuclear waste repository in an unsaturated tuff environment. The repository site under consideration is Yucca Mountain, which is on and adjacent to the Nevada Test Site. The hydrogeology of Yucca Mountain, preliminary repository concepts, functional requirements and performance criteria for sealing, federal and state regulations, and hydrological calculations are considered in developing the sealing concepts. Water flow through the unsaturated zone is expected to be small and generally vertically downward with some potential to occur through discrete fault and fracture zones. These assumptions are used in developing sealing concepts for shafts, ramps, and boreholes. Sealing of discrete, water-producing faults and fracture zones encountered in horizontal emplacement holes and in access and emplacement drifts is also described. 49 references, 21 figures, 6 tables.
Smart Detection of Bone Cancer Using Machine Learning Techniques: A Comprehensive Review

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Bone cancer poses a serious threat to human life, necessitating timely and accurate diagnosis for effective treatment. Conventional diagnostic methods like MRIs, CT scans, and X-rays rely on medical personnel to manually interpret the results, which can be laborious and prone of human error. To overcome these obstacles, this work offers a machine learning-based automated approach for detecting and classifying bone cancer. Medical images are first pre-processed using a median filter to remove noise, followed by feature extraction utilizing a genetic algorithm and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). The CNN classifier is then employed to analyze and categorize the images based on cancer stages. To enhance precision, advanced image processing methods like edge detection and clustering are incorporated. The system supports clinicians by improving diagnostic accuracy, enabling early intervention, and reducing unnecessary surgical procedures. Experimental findings reveal promising results with higher early detection rates, demonstrating the system's potential in real-world clinical applications.
Cannabis sativa Root Extract Exerts Anti-Nociceptive and Anti-Inflammatory Effects via Endocannabinoid Pathway Modulation In Vivo and In Vitro

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Cannabis sativa root has traditionally been used to relieve pain and inflammation, but its pharmacological properties remain underexplored due to low levels of psychoactive cannabinoids. This study aimed to investigate the anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive effects of the ethyl acetate fraction of Cannabis sativa root (CSREA) using in vivo rodent pain models. Mice were subjected to formalin and acetic acid-induced nociceptive tests, while rats were evaluated using a carrageenan-induced paw edema model. CSREA significantly reduced pain-related behaviors in both early (0–10 min) and late phases (15–30 min) of the formalin test and decreased writhing responses in the acetic acid model. Notably, CSREA also improved survival rates following acetic acid injection. Inflammatory markers, including IL-6 and IL-1β, were significantly lowered in serum. Furthermore, CSREA suppressed paw edema and redness in the carrageenan-induced rat model, demonstrating dose-dependent anti-inflammatory efficacy comparable to diclofenac. CSREA also downregulated pain-related gene expression (SCN9A, ASIC1A, TACR1) and regulated key enzymes involved in endocannabinoid metabolism (FAAH, MAGL, DAGL), suggesting its role in the molecular modulation of pain pathways. These effects are likely mediated via modulation of the endocannabinoid system, particularly by rebalancing the CB1R/CB2R ratio. The findings suggest that CSREA holds promise as a natural therapeutic agent for managing pain and inflammation and warrants further investigation into its molecular mechanisms and long-term effects.

Transfer Function Based Recognition of Resonance Overvoltages in Transformer Windings

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Power transformer insulation systems are subjected to many stresses during normal operation due to lightning and switching. If the spectrum of incoming surge voltage matches the winding one, the corresponding resonance will be excited. Therefore external transients occurring in power systems might trigger internal overvoltages with large maximum value in transformer windings. Overvoltages having such character have been the root cause of many power transformer failures. The paper presents an approach to the identification of sensitive zones in the transformer windings based on the measurements of overvoltages inside windings and frequency dependences of admittance of the power transformer. The frequency characteristic of the transformer winding may determine those regions in the frequency spectrum. The presented approach might be used both for design optimization and diagnostics of distribution and power transformers.

Producing Highly Charged Ions without Solvent Using Laserspray Ionization: A Total Solvent-Free Analysis Approach at Atmospheric Pressure

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

First examples of highly charged ions in mass spectrometry (MS) produced from the solid state without using solvent during either sample preparation or mass measurement are reported. Matrix material, matrix/analyte homogenization time and frequency, atmospheric pressure (AP) to vacuum inlet temperature, and mass analyzer ion trap conditions are factors that influence the abundance of the highly charged ions created by laserspray ionization (LSI). LSI, like matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI), uses laser ablation of a matrix/analyte mixture from a surface to produce ions. Preparing the matrix/analyte sample without the use of solvent provides the ability to perform total solvent-free analysis (TSA) consisting of solvent-free ionization and solvent-free gas-phase separation using ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) MS. Peptides and small proteins such as non-β-amyloid components of Alzheimer’s disease and bovine insulin are examples in which LSI and TSA were combined to produce multiply charged ions, similar to electrospray ionization, but without the use of solvent. Advantages using solvent-free LSI and IMS-MS include simplicity, rapid data acquisition, reduction of sample complexity, and the potential for an enhanced effective dynamic range. This is achieved by more inclusive ionization and improved separation of mixture components as a result of multiple charging.

Comparative Analysis of Applications and Disbursements of Loans to Beneficiaries by Bank of Agriculture in Anambra State, Nigeria

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The study investigated the comparative analysis of loan applications and disbursements to large and small scale farmer beneficiaries of Bank of Agriculture from 2010-2016 in Anambra State, Nigeria. The specific objectives were to ascertain the socio-economic characteristics of the large and small scale farmer beneficiaries, to estimate the total amounts of applications and disbursements to large and small farmer beneficiaries of BOA loans and constraints militating against loan administration by BOA staff. A multistage sampling procedure involving purposive and random sampling methods were used to select 256 respondents for the study. Data were collected from both primary and secondary sources. Primary data were collected using two sets of questionnaire; one for the farmers and the other for the bank officials while secondary data were sourced from loan transaction records in the headquarters and branch offices of BOA in the State. Collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics technique. Findings indicated that the large scale farmers were more advanced in age, more educated, had higher years of farming experience, number of persons in the household and number of males among them than the small scale farmers, who, however, were better at repayment. Majority (60.00%) of applications and 60.33% of disbursements to the large scale farmers were for poultry and fish production while the small scale farmers’ most (53.28%) applications and disbursements (53.26%) were for the production of crops. The most serious constraints to loan administration by the bank staff were low repayment rate, inadequate fund for lending, insufficient staff for credit administration, inadequate collateral provision and loan diversion by beneficiaries. The provision of more funds, more skilled staff, and adequate logistics to the BOA by government, timely disbursed of approved amount, minimization of bureaucratic procedure involved in the administration of the facilities by the BOA and formation of more cooperative groups by the beneficiaries were recommended.
Coping with Uncertainty in Unit Price Contracting

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

Unbalancing of Unit Price Proposals is widely used to improve cash flows and the competitiveness of a tender. Such practices can alter a contractor's risk favorably or otherwise. This paper is concerned with selecting unit prices which achieve a balance between maximizing the present worth of profit and minimizing potential contractor loss due to quantity misestimates. A quadratic programming model is devised to determine optimal unit prices and an example illustrates features of implementation.
