ChainFrame: A Chain Framework for Point Cloud Classification

Point cloud analysis is challenging due to its data structure. To capture the 3-D geometries, prior works mainly rely on exploring local geometric extractors. However, the human visual system suggested that both global and local features should be considered. In this article, we introduce a novel framework for point cloud classification, called ChainFrame, which takes the pair-wise global-local correlations into consideration within the intermediate scales hierarchically. The ChainFrame captures the global features that characterize the entire outline of the object. Simultaneously, the ChainFrame organizes the local features that incorporate the point itself and its neighboring region. With such a framework, our practical implementations (ChainMLP and ChainGraph) perform on par or even better than other methods. Evaluations on two popular datasets show the effectiveness and efficiency of our ChainFrame. ChainMLP and ChainGraph achieve <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$ 87.2%$</tex-math></inline-formula> and <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$87.6%$</tex-math></inline-formula> overall point-wise accuracy scores, respectively, on the real-world ScanObjectNN benchmark. Besides, ChainMLP delivers comparable performance on ModelNet40 with only 0.47 M parameters and 0.33 G floating point operations (FLOPs), which are much smaller than the prior methods.

Sequence Analysis of Lactosamine Type Glycans of Individual Membrane Proteins of Semliki Forest Virus

3H-fucose and 14C-glucosamine labelled glycopeptides of the individual membrane proteins E1, E2 and E3 of Semliki Forest virus could be sequentially digested with alpha-neuraminidase, beta-galactosidase, N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase, alpha- and beta-mannosidase, N-acetyl-beta-hexosaminidase and finally with alpha-fucosidase. The degradations of the virus glycopeptides proceeded in the same way as stepwise digestions of reference glycopeptides of the lactosamine type obtained from IgG and alpha 1-acid glycoprotein. This suggests that all three membrane glycoproteins of Semliki Forest virus contained glycans with a monosaccharide sequence characteristic for lactosamine type oligosaccharides. The number of both distal and proximal N-acetyl-glucosamine residues was estimated to be usually two. According to exo- and endo-glycosidase digestions, fucose seemed to be attached to the innermost N-acetyl-glucosamine unit.

Test of cold asphalt storability based on alternative approaches

Cold asphalt products for potholes repairs should be workable (soft enough) for long time to ensure their applicability. Storability is assessed indirectly using various tests of workability. Therefore, simple test methods (self-compaction and disintegration test) was developed and verified to investigate changes of storability of this group of cold asphalts. Selfcompaction of the tested mixture in the upturned Abram's cone for the cement concrete slump test and in the mould for the California Bearing Ratio test was assessed in first stage. After that the video record of disintegration test was taken. During this test, the mould was lifted up and the mixture fell off the mould (Abram's cone) or disintegrate (CBR mould). The drop of surface after 10 min self-compaction and netto time related to falling out or disintegration of the mixture were used to evaluate the mixture from storability point of view. It was found out the self-compaction test has not a potential to reveal and prove changes of mixture properties. Based on the disintegration test results it can be stated this test at 5 °C using the upturned Abram's cone could be a suitable approach to determine qualitative changes of a cold mixture from storability point of view.

Biological Control of Foot Rot Disease of Rice Using Fermented Products of Compost and Vermicompost

Field trial experiment was conducted at the premise of Nepal Academy of Science and Technology during rainy season (April-June) in 2004 under the rainfed condition. In this study, four types of compost tea: aerated vermicompost tea (ACTV), non aerated vermicompost tea (NCTV), aerated compost tea (ACTC) and non aerated compost tea (NCTV) was prepared and investigated for the suppression of Foot rot disease of Rice caused by Fusarium moniliforme Sheldon - Gibberella fujikuroi. The result was compared with carbendazium (2.5 g per kg dry seeds) treatment and water check. And data was analyzed using one way ANOVA. Among these four compost tea, ACTV showed statistically significant maximum control (25.6% increment of healthy seedlings), followed by ACTC (22.4% increment of healthy seedlings). Least effect was obtained by NCTC (13.6% increment of healthy seedlings). It was observed that 18% of collected Khumal-4 variety rice was infected with Fusarium monoliforme as revealed by Standard Moist Blotter Technique. In concurrence with field trial experiment, treatment of the rice seeds in the Standard Blotter Technique with compost tea revealed highest efficiency of ACTV in reducing the number of affected seeds (12% reduction in affected seeds) followed by ACTC (10% reduction) and NCTV (8% reduction). NCTC were found to be least effective (6% reduction) among the four types of compost tea. Application of compost tea also increases the percentage of germination of seeds, with maximum effect obtained by ACTV (98%). Keywords: Compost tea; Vermicompost tea; Foot rot; Fusarium moniliforme.

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy　― A Heterogeneous and Lifelong Disease in the Real World ―

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most frequent hereditary cardiomyopathy, showing an autosomal-dominant f inheritance. A great deal of attention has been paid to genetics, left ventricular tract obstruction and the prediction and prevention of sudden cardiac death in HCM. Needless to say, these are very important, but we should recognize the heterogeneity in etiology, morphology, clinical course and management of this unique cardiomyopathy. Another important perspective is that HCM causes left ventricular remodeling over time and is a disease that requires lifelong management in the real world.

Investigation of Powdery Mildew on Kabocha Squash (Cucurbita maxima Duch.) in Tonga

Disease management of cucurbit powdery mildew pathogens caused by Golovinomyces cichoracearum and Podosphaera xanthii is largely based on extensive use of systemic fungicides. P. xanthii is a highly variable pathogen, having developed resistance to the major agrichemical groups including the demethylation inhibitor (DMI) fungicides. The aim of this study was to investigate the powdery mildew disease and the causal pathogen occurring on Kabocha squash (Cucurbita maxima) in Tonga. The disease causes significant economic loss to production. A field disease survey conducted during the 2007 production season revealed widespread powdery mildew disease incidence &gt;25%. There was no interaction between disease incidence and farm management practice. Powdery mildew disease severity was 5-25% in regions and 5-&gt;25% in districts. There was no correlation between powdery mildew disease severity and farm practice. High levels of disease severity caused significant reductions in yield with losses between &gt;40% and 80%. The causal pathogen was identified as Podosphaera xanthii. The presence of characteristic fibrosin bodies in the conidia, conidia produced in chains on the conidiophore and conidiophore foot-cell size and shape were diagnostic for P. xanthii. Significant levels of fungicide resistance to the most frequently used flusilazole, myclobutanil, propiconazole and benomyl was detected in P. xanthii populations on Kabocha squash. EC50 values were &gt;60 times the recommended rates of use. Resistant factors were 5 x 106 and 2 x 106 for flusilazole and myclobutanil, respectively. P. xanthii showed significant levels of cross-resistance to these fungicides. The results of this study indicate that current fungicide practice for powdery mildew on Kabocha squash is no longer effective and should be discontinued due to the significant levels of fungicide resistance in the P. xanthii population. The recommendation is for future use of environmentally safe and less harsh biocompatible products for disease management.

Highly infectious plasmids carrying poliovirus cDNA are capable of replication in transfected simian cells

We examined events leading to production of infectious poliovirus upon transfection of simian cells with plasmids carrying poliovirus cDNA and simian virus 40 transcription and replication signals. The nature of the simian virus 40 promoter upstream from the poliovirus cDNA had no influence on its infectivity. A high specific infectivity was correlated with plasmid replication, dependent on expression of T antigen either encoded by the plasmid or present in host cells (COS-1).

Regulation of viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerases by phosphorylation

RNA viruses encode an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), which is essential for transcription and replication of their genome since host cells lack equivalent enzymes. RdRp residues were shown to be phosphorylated by host kinases in several human, animal or plant viruses including flaviviruses, picornaviruses, coronaviruses, influenza viruses and tymoviruses. RdRps can be phosphorylated on several residues by distinct host kinases. Phosphomimetic mutations of identified phosphorylated residues either positively or negatively regulate RNA synthesis or association of RdRps with RNA or other proteins. Interestingly, some RdRps evolved to recruit cellular kinases through direct protein-protein interaction, likely to promote or to tightly control their own phosphorylation. Given the essential nature of RdRps for RNA virus replication, a better knowledge of RdRps’ phosphorylation is expected to facilitate the design of future drugs that strongly affect polymerase activity.

Innovative Use of Light-Weight Radioisotopes in Therapeutics and the Engineering of Light-Power Generators

Light weight radioisotope (LWR) 89Sr and 90Sr could be obtained from used rods in fission atomic plants. The economics of the disposal of nuclear bars indicate the convenience to develop added value applications. The difference in t1/2 allows 89Sr to deliver its energy at a rate 200 times higher than 90Sr. A large emission number of low penetrating power particles in a short time characterize 89Sr, which allows that these highly radioactive LWR involves a rather limited danger. Chemical similitude of calcium and strontium uptake has led to the use of 89Sr in treatment of bone cancer metastasis. 89Sr damages animal tissues because ionize water, but penetrates through the skin about: 5 to 8 mm. Hence, to obtain it in insoluble form, like obtaining 89Sr silicate, could make possible its wider use. Purifying 89Sr from contaminant 90Sr allows that after one year do not leave any contamination. LWR could be covered with scintillators substances, which by subtracting kinetic energy from beta-radiation, emit light and function as a major source of shielding. This treatment engineers Radioisotope Light Generators (RLG). Their light could activate photovoltaic cells (PV), which could lead to nano-devices without moving parts RLG-PV.

The Second Minimal Skew Energy of Oriented Bicyclic Digraphs

The energy of a graph has closed links to chemistry, since an important quantum-chemical characteristic of a conjugated molecule is its total π-electron energy. In this paper, we compared the characteristic polynomial coefficients of oriented bicyclic graphs and gave the skew energy’s partial relation of oriented bicyclic graphs, and thus we got the second minimal skew energy of oriented bicyclic graphs.

Beyond departmentalization: feminist Black Atlantic reformulations of outremer in Daniel Maximin's L'Isol soleil

This article argues that in his 1981 novel L'Isol soleil , Daniel Maximin implicitly decentres the issue of the 1946 departmentalization law through staging multiple criss-crossings of the Black Atlantic. He is primarily interested in including French-Guadeloupean relations in a broader mapping out of the rhizomatic character of Guadeloupean culture. Because Maximin's rewriting of Guadeloupean history positions it in relation not just to France, but also to other parts of what Paul Gilroy has called the Black Atlantic, this article first outlines the similarities and differences between Maximin's and Gilroy's projects. It then investigates one strand in Maximin's Black Atlantic connections, his rewriting of recent Black Panther history. His focus is on the lives and deaths of George and Jonathan Jackson as filtered through the lens of Angela Davis's Autobiography, a major intertext in his novel. It is argued that, through his focus on female narrators, including Angela Davis, Maximin prophetically adds an important feminist facet to Gilroy's subsequent theorization of the Black Atlantic. Maximin's vision of Guadeloupean history and culture goes beyond both Francocentric departmentalization and masculinist versions of the Black Atlantic.

Socioeconomic level and the parents’ perception of the impact of oral diseases on their children’s quality of life

Aim: To analyze how parents of different socioeconomic levels perceive the impact of oral diseases on their children’s quality of life. Methods: All parents or guardians of students aged 11 to 14 years old, regularly enrolled in fundamental schooling at public schools of two towns in the northwestern region of the State of São Paulo, Brazil, were enrolled in the study. The questionnaire of “Socioeconomic Assessment Tool” was used to classify the families with regards to socioeconomic class and the “Parental-Caregiver Perceptions Questionnaire (P-CPQ)” was used to verify the parents’ perception of the impact of oral diseases on their children’s quality of life. Results: 172 (41.8%) individuals answered the survey. Among them, most belonged to the Upper Low Class (61%). 21.5% of the individuals answered that they considered their children’s oral health “regular or bad” and 71.5% answered that their child’s general well-being was not or was little affected by the condition of his/her teeth, lips, jaws or mouth. There was an association between the quality of life sub-scales, especially “oral symptoms”, with all socioeconomic classes. Conclusions: There is a relationship between parents’ socioeconomic class and the perception of the impact of oral disease on their children’s quality of life.
