Person Re Identification by Camera Correlation Aware Feature Augmentation
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence
Year: 2018

The challenge of person re identification (re id) is to match individual images of the same person captured by different non overlapping camera views against significant and unknown cross view feature distortion. While a large number of distance metric/subspace learning models have been developed for re id, the cross view transformations they learned are view generic and thus potentially less effective in quantifying the feature distortion inherent to each camera view. Learning view specific feature transformations for re id (i.e. view specific re id) an under studied approach, becomes an alternative resort for this problem. In this work, we formulate a novel view specific person re identification framework from the feature augmentation point of view, called Camera coR relation Aware Feature augmenTation (CRAFT) Specifically, CRAFT performs cross view adaptation by automatically measuring camera correlation from cross view visual data distribution and adaptively conducting feature augmentation to transform the original features into a new adaptive space. Through our augmentation framework, view generic learning algorithms can be readily generalized to learn and optimize view specific sub models whilst simultaneously modelling view generic discrimination information. Therefore, our framework not only inherits the strength of view generic model learning but also provides an effective way to take into account view specific characteristics. Our CRAFT framework can be extended to jointly learn view specific feature transformations for person re id across a large network with more than two cameras, a largely under investigated but realistic re id setting. Additionally, we present a domain generic deep person appearance representation which is designed particularly to be towards view invariant for facilitating cross view adaptation by CRAFT. We conducted extensively comparative experiments to validate the superiority and advantages of our proposed framework over state of the art competitors on contemporary challenging person re id datasets.
Cost sensitive Learning for Utility Optimization in Online Advertising Auctions
Venue: ADKDD@KDD
Year: 2017

One of the most challenging problems in computational advertising is the prediction of click through and conversion rates for bidding in online advertising auctions. An unaddressed problem in previous approaches is the existence of highly non uniform misprediction costs. While for model evaluation these costs have been taken into account through recently proposed business aware offline metrics such as the Utility metric which measures the impact on advertiser profit this is not the case when training the models themselves. In this paper, to bridge the gap, we formally analyze the relationship between optimizing the Utility metric and the log loss, which is considered as one of the state of the art approaches in conversion modeling. Our analysis motivates the idea of weighting the log loss with the business value of the predicted outcome. We present and analyze a new cost weighting scheme and show that significant gains in offline and online performance can be achieved.
Label free fluorescent aptasensor for potassium ion using structure switching aptamers and berberine.
Venue: Spectrochimica acta. Part A, Molecular and biomolecular spectroscopy
Year: 2015

A simple, rapid and label free fluorescent aptasensor was fabricated for the detection of potassium ion (K( ion) in aqueous solution using K( ion stabilized single stranded DNA (ssDNA) with G rich sequence as the recognition element and a fluorescent dye, berberine, as the fluorescence probe. In the presence of K( ion, the G rich ssDNA is promoted to form the aptamer target complex with a G quadruplex conformation, and berberine binding to the G quadruplex structure results in the enhancement of its fluorescence. The fluorescence intensity of the sensing system displayed a calibration response for K( ion in the range of 0 1600mM with a detection limit of 31nM (S/N=3) and a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 0.45% This label free fluorescence aptasensor is conveniently and effectively applicable for analysis of K( ion in blood serum samples with the recovery range of 81.7 105.3% The assay for detection of potassium ion is easy, economical, robust, and stable in rough conditions.
Therapeutic cancer vaccines and translating vaccinomics science to the global health clinic: emerging applications toward proof of concept.
Venue: Omics a journal of integrative biology
Year: 2011

As vaccines evolve to be a more common treatment for some cancers, further research is needed to improve the process of developing vaccines and assessing response to treatment. Vaccinomics involves a wide ranging integration of multiple high throughput technologies including transcriptional, translational, and posttranslational population based assessments of the human genome, transcriptome, proteome, and immunome. Vaccinomics combines the fields of immunogenetics, immunogenomics, immunoproteomics, and basic immunology to create vaccines that are tailor made to an individual or groups of individuals. This broad range of omics applications to tumor immunology includes antigen discovery, diagnostic biomarkers, cancer vaccine development, predictors of immune response, and clinical response biomarkers. These technologies have aided in the advancement of cancer vaccine development, as illustrated in examples including NY ESO 1 originally defined by SEREX, and HER2/neu peptides analyzed via high throughput epitope prediction methods. As technology improves, it presents an opportunity to improve cancer immunotherapy on a global scale, and attention must also be given to utilize these high throughput methods for the understanding of cancer and immune signatures across populations.
INFLUENCE OF EXHAUSTION OF SYSTEM FOR THE WETTING AND INKING ON THE PRINT QUALITY IN THE NEWSPAPER PRODUCTION
Year: 2008

Quality of printing press is the key thing for getting the more quality advertisements which brings the income. First and basic thing for quality of the printing press is the visual control of ink at the print. In this labor a research has been conducted which results with findings about the consumption and influence of exhaustions of machine elements on the print quality. Newspaper machines are limited as for gamut of inks in CIE L*a*b* system because printing is carried out only using four basic inks (the cyan, magenta, yellow and blacks) Taking into account that the carrier of information is printing plate produced on the CTP system and also that the rubber cover on the offset cylinder is new (quality and correctly placed) we should get good print quality. When have precisely made printing plate and quality rubber cover on the offset cylinder, the key element in getting print quality is the system of rollers for the wetting and system of rollers for the inking printing plates. If one from two mentioned systems is not adequately set up, these elements (rollers for the transfer of wetting solution or rollers for the transfer and distribution of ink) are not quality (the rubber cover on rollers) we will not be in ability for getting the suitable print quality, which will result with smaller earnings on advertisements.
Burnout, Perceived Stress, Sleep Quality, and Smartphone Use: A Survey of Osteopathic Medical Students
Venue: The Journal of the American Osteopathic Association
Year: 2020

Context Burnout is a psychological syndrome that results from prolonged exposure to stressful work activities and includes 3 dimensions: emotional exhaustion (EE) depersonalization (DP) and low sense of personal accomplishment (PA) Burnout is a widespread problem in numerous professions but is particularly high among medical students, residents, and early career physicians compared with college graduates of similar age. However, minimal research has addressed burnout in osteopathic medical students.  To assess levels of burnout in osteopathic medical students and to examine the relationship among burnout, perceived stress, sleep quality, and smartphone use.  This study used a cross sectional study design and an anonymous, electronic questionnaire service to administer the Maslach Burnout Inventory, the Perceived Stress Scale 4, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality index, and the Smartphone Addiction Scale Short Version.  A total of 385 participants (mean [SD] age, 25 [2.4] years; 208 [54.0% women; 286 [74.3% white; 138 [35.8% second year osteopathic medical students [OMSs] completed the survey. Of the 385 participants, 9 (2.3% reported high EE, 67 (17.4) reported high DP, and 310 (80.5) reported a high level of low PA. When comparing dimensions of burnout by gender, only levels of PA differed by gender, with men reporting higher levels of burnout compared with women (kh12=5.2, P=.022) Further, levels of DP differed by year in medical school (kh2=17.3, P=.008) with post hoc comparisons showing differences between OMS I and OMS III (F=4.530, df=3, P=.004) Linear regression models showed that higher perceived stress (standardized b=0.5, P<.001) poorer sleep quality (standardized b=0.2, P=.001) and higher smartphone addiction scores (standardized b=0.1, P<.001) were associated with higher EE. Similarly, higher perceived stress (standardized b=0.2, P<.001) poorer sleep quality (standardized b=0.2, P=.001) and higher smartphone addiction scores (standardized b=0.2, P=.001) were associated with higher DP. Only higher perceived stress was associated with higher levels of low PA (standardized b= 0.4, P<.001)  These findings suggest independent associations with EE, DP, perceived stress, sleep quality, and smartphone use. Additional research with a larger, more diverse sample is needed to confirm these findings. If confirmed, wellness interventions can be designed to target 2 modifiable factors: sleep quality and smartphone use.
Real life use of erythropoiesis stimulating agents in myelodysplastic syndromes: a "Gruppo Romano Mielodisplasie (GROM)" multicenter study
Venue: Annals of Hematology
Year: 2016

The Gruppo Romano Mielodisplasie (GROM) conducted a retrospective study in 543 patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) to evaluate the safety and efficacy of erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESAs) in "real life" clinical practice. The 40.000 UI/week erythropoietin (EPO) alpha and 30.000 UI/week EPO beta starting dose were defined "standard," and 80,000 UI/week EPO alpha and 60.000 UI/week EPO beta were defined "high." Response was defined according to International Working Group (IWG) 2006 criteria. At ESA's start, median age was 74.2 years (interquartile range (IR) 67.8 79.5) and median hemoglobin was 8.9 g/dl (IR 8.2 9.6) Median time from diagnosis to ESAs start was 3.8 months (IR 0.8 13.2) ESA starting dose was "standard" in 361 patients (66.5 and "high" in 182 patients (33.5 Erythroid response was observed in 82/185 (44.3 transfusion dependent (TD) patients as compared with 226/329 (68.6 transfusion independent (TI) ones (p 0.001) At multivariate analysis, in TD patients, only endogenous EPO levels <50 mU/l were significant (p 0.046) whereas in TI patients, high dose ESAs (p 0.001) abnormal creatinine levels (0.009) and endogenous EPO levels <50 mU/l (p 0.014) were predictors of response. Responders showed a higher 5 year overall survival (OS) (57.8 vs. 32.2 p 0.001) and leukemia free survival (76.0 vs. 49.8 p 0.001) At multivariable analysis for OS, response to ESA, low International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) no transfusion need, and female sex showed an independent favorable prognostic role. Our results confirm that treatment with ESAs is effective in a real life MDS setting, particularly at high dose and in TI patients. Prospective studies are needed to define the optimal starting dose.

E moderating: the key to teaching and learning online
Year: 2012

Much has changed in the field of online learning and teaching, since the first edition of Gilly Salmon's (2000) highly influential book was published over 10 years ago. This book advocated a now widely adopted 'five stage' pedagogical model. Coming from a social constructivist perspective, the model describes steps through which learners, with the assistance of their 'e moderator' are acclimatised to their online environment (access and motivation) become acquainted with their peers (socialisation) find and share information with them (information exchange) negotiate meaning and co construct knowledge (knowledge construction) and finally assimilate new knowledge and understanding through self reflection (development) Research underpinning the model drew on student contributions posted on asynchronous text based discussion boards at the Open University. This latest edition aims to revise and re evaluate both the model and the role of the e moderator in the context of more media rich contemporary web 2.0 technologies. The book is divided into two parts: 'Concepts and Cases' and 'Resources for Practitioners' The first three chapters of part one cover the theory and practice of the five stage model, drawing on more recent literature and empirical data. The model is examined through case studies set in a variety of online contexts including discussion boards (voice as well as text driven) wikis and 3D virtual worlds. As the title of the book implies, an essential component of the model is the presence of the 'e moderator' who guides, motivates and scaffolds student learning through each stage. To this end, chapters 4 6 discuss the e moderator role in depth and consider the skills required for successful e moderation such as weaving (creating connections between individual student contributions to promote further discussion) summarising (drawing together the main points of a discussion thread) and giving feedback (individual and group) The importance of e moderation to the learning process is emphasised here, as is the need for proper training and development of e moderators. Chapter 7 looks at the experiences of online learners in relation to current concerns such as inclusivity and internationalisation. The final chapter of part one takes the reader on an interesting journey into the (perhaps not so distant) future of online learning and e moderating, imagining several possible scenarios referred to as 'planets' 'Planet Caffelattia' seems to be the author's preferred scenario with its emphasis on community learning and peer to peer sharing, where technology acts as 'mediating devices, promoting creativity and collaboration' (p. 187) Part two of the book serves as a useful quick reference guide for those involved in the design and implementation of e tivities (online learning activities) and the training and development of e moderators.

Teaching Grammar Communicatively for Students of Lower Secondary Level
Year: 2019

English is proclaimed to be a compulsory foreign language subject for all students nationwide from primary schools onward (MOET, 2008) However, the domination of grammar translation method (Ho Binh, 2014) and grammar oriented exams (Toan, 2013) in English language education has turned students into those who may succeed in doing tests but fail to communicate meaningfully (Phuong Uyen, 2014) after seven to ten years of its learning. To make the teaching of grammar interesting and meaningful and develop communicative competence in which language users shows their grammatical fluency and appropriateness, grammar instruction should be integrated in teaching language skills. In other words, students are provided with opportunities to use proper grammar structures in appropriate contexts (Ellis, 1990) which center on students' own lives (Ehreworth, 2003) Self formulating grammar rules enables students to remember better and more effectively. In this workshop, some strategies and activities associated with contextual teaching (Ellis, 2006; Ehrenworth Vinton, 2005; Mora, 2003; Weaver 1996;  1995; Harmer, 1991) are proposed to improve secondary students' grammar fluency and accuracy, thus, make their English learning purposeful and communicative. Plus, at the end of the workshop, the floor for discussion will be open to vary the activities to serve teaching grammar of different levels.

To investigate the characteristics of magnetic resonance image (MRI) in solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) of the kidney. MRI findings and clinical features of SFT of the kidney in 4 patients (2 men and 2 women with a mean age of 37.8 8.7 years) were reviewed retrospectively. All patients were scanned by a 3.0 T magnetic resonance (MR) imaging system and the lesions were detected with emphasis on size, shape, location, margin, presence of pseudocapsule, signal intensity, degree of MR enhancement, and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) The 5 tumors from 4 patients were located in renal parenchyma (n 1) renal pelvis (n 3) and renal capsule (n 1) On MRIs, the tumors were round (n 1) or oval shaped (n 4) and presented pseudocapsule (n 2) and well circumscribed margins (n 3) can be found. On T2 weighted images (T2WIs) solid components of the tumor presented homogeneously mild hypointensity or isointensity (n 4) compared with the renal cortex. On diffusion weighted images (DWIs) the lesions showed normal or mild hyperintensity (n 4) with mean ADC of 1.687 x 10 3 mm2/s. On dynamic contrast enhanced MRIs, all lesions showed progressively mild enhancement. In the follow up of 24 to 36 months after the surgery, 3 patients survived and 1 deceased. The SFT of the kidney appeared as a circle or oval and presented homogeneously mild hypointensity or isointensity on T2WIs, hyperintensity on DWIs, and progressively mild enhancement on DCE MRIs.

Evaluation of DNA, BSA binding, DNA cleavage and antimicrobial activity of ytterbium(III) complex containing 2,2' bipyridine ligand
Venue: Journal of biomolecular structure dynamics
Year: 2019

In order to estimate the biological potential of a synthesized complex [Yb(bpy)2Cl3.OH2] where bpy is 2,2' bipyridine, its binding behavior with fish salmon DNA (FS DNA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were studied by different kinds of spectroscopy and molecular modeling methods. This complex was selected for its antibacterial and antifungal activities as well as the DNA cleavage activities were examined by agarose gel electrophoresis. The analyses of fluorescence data at four temperatures were done in order to evaluate the binding and thermodynamic parameters of the interaction of Yb(III) complex with DNA and BSA. The experimental results indicated that the major binding modes were based on groove binding with DNA and BSA. In addition, iodide quenching studies, ethidium bromide (EtBr) exclusion assay, ionic strength effect, circular dichroism, and viscosity studies reflected the binding of Yb(III) complex explicitly with the FS DNA mainly in a groove binding mode. Moreover, molecular docking studies indicated that this complex was bound to the minor groove of DNA and to polar and apolar residues located in the subdomain IB of BSA (site 3) Also, the results of competitive experiments assessed site 3 of BSA as the most probable binding site for this complex. The molecular docking results were in good agreement with our experimental results. From both experimental and docking results, the binding constant values displayed the remarkably high affinity of Yb(III) complex to DNA as well as BSA. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma
