GP GAN: Gender Preserving GAN for Synthesizing Faces from Landmarks
Venue: 2018 24th International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR)
Year: 2018

Facial landmarks constitute the most compressed representation of faces and are known to preserve information such as pose, gender and facial structure present in the faces. Several works exist that attempt to perform high level face related analysis tasks based on landmarks alone without the aid of face images. In contrast, in this work, an attempt is made to tackle the inverse problem of synthesizing faces from their respective landmarks. The primary aim of this work is to demonstrate that information preserved by landmarks (gender in particular) can be further accentuated by leveraging generative models to synthesize corresponding faces. Though the problem is particularly challenging due to its ill posed nature, we believe that successful synthesis will enable several applications such as boosting performance of high level face related tasks using landmark points and performing dataset augmentation. To this end, a novel face synthesis method known as Gender Preserving Generative Adversarial Network (GP GAN) that is guided by adversarial loss, perceptual loss and a gender preserving loss is presented. Further, we propose a novel generator sub network UDeNet for GP GAN that leverages advantages of U Net and DenseNet architectures. Extensive experiments and comparison with recent methods are performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The HMGA2 IMP2 Pathway Promotes Granulosa Cell Proliferation in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Venue: The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism
Year: 2019

The high mobility group AT hook 2 (HMGA2) gene was previously identified in a genome wide association study as a candidate risk gene that might be related to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) Whether HMGA2 contributes to promoting granulosa cell (GC) proliferation in PCOS remains unknown.  We sought to determine whether HMGA2 is involved in the ovarian dysfunction of PCOS and in the mechanism of increased GC proliferation.  Immortalized human GCs (KGN and SVOG cells) were used for the mechanism study. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES mRNA expression in ovarian GCs was measured using quantitative RT PCR, and KGN cells were cultured for proliferation assays after overexpression or knockdown of target genes. Protein expression analysis, luciferase assays, and RNA binding protein immunoprecipitation assays were used to confirm the mechanism study.  HMGA2 and IGF2 mRNA binding protein 2 (IMP2) were highly expressed in the GCs of women with PCOS, and the HMGA2/IMP2 pathway promoted GC proliferation. Cyclin D2 and SERPINE1 mRNA binding protein 1 were regulated by IMP2 and were highly expressed in women with PCOS.  The HMGA2/IMP2 pathway was activated in women with PCOS and promoted the proliferation of GCs. This might provide new insights into the dysfunction of GCs in PCOS.
Classifying Solid State Drive Firmware via Side Channel Current Draw Analysis

Solid State Drives (SSDs) are a form of non volatile computer memory that have become ubiquitous in the information technology industry, replacing traditional magnetic Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) in numerous conventional systems and enabling new applications in the fields of embedded systems and data infrastructure. Compared to HDDs, modern SSDs have competitive storage density, faster read and write times, lower power consumption, and greater impact resistance. However, compared to HDD technology, SSDs have a more complex data storage architecture, which necessitates integrated firmware that interfaces between a host system and the hardware of the SSD, called the Flash Translation Layer (FTL) Because the host system interacts only with the FTL and not the SSD itself, the SSD can be viewed as a black box system, with known input and output but no information about its inner workings. Characterizing internal operations of an SSD is relevant for forensics, diagnostics, and security applications. One possible solution to this problem is to observe the side channel current draw of the SSD as it operates. If firmware variants have distinguishable differences in their current signatures, a classifier can be trained to make class predictions. Investigating this proposed solution, the current draw of two firmware versions of a Crucial SSD were analyzed as the drive executed a series of file operations. Identifying relevant signal features, standard machine learning techniques were employed to develop models that correctly classified the firmware loaded on the SSD with over 98% accuracy given only a recording of their current draw signals during file operations.
YFCC100M HybridNet fc6 Deep Features for Content Based Image Retrieval
Venue: MMCommons ACM Multimedia
Year: 2016

This paper presents a corpus of deep features extracted from the YFCC100M images considering the fc6 hidden layer activation of the HybridNet deep convolutional neural network. For a set of random selected queries we made available k NN results obtained sequentially scanning the entire set features comparing both using the Euclidean and Hamming Distance on a binarized version of the features. This set of results is ground truth for evaluating Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) systems that use approximate similarity search methods for efficient and scalable indexing. Moreover, we present experimental results obtained indexing this corpus with two distinct approaches: the Metric Inverted File and the Lucene Quantization. These two CBIR systems are public available online allowing real time search using both internal and external queries.
The Effect of Pregnancy on the Pharmacokinetics of Total and Unbound Dolutegravir and Its Main Metabolite in Women Living With Human Immunodeficiency Virus.
Venue: Clinical infectious diseases an official publication of the Infectious Diseases Society of America
Year: 2020

Pharmacokinetic and efficacy data on dolutegravir in pregnant women living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are still limited but needed to support its use as one of the preferred antiretroviral agents.  Within the multicenter Pharmacokinetics of ANtiretroviral agents in HIV infected pregNAnt women (PANNA) study, pregnant women living with HIV and using dolutegravir once daily (50 mg, with food) underwent 24 hour pharmacokinetic profiling in their third trimester and postpartum. Dolutegravir exposure in the third trimester was considered adequate if geometric mean unbound, pharmacologically active, minimal plasma concentrations (Cmin, unbound) and =90% of individual Cmin, unbound levels were >0.85 ug/L, the proposed 90% inhibitory concentration for unbound dolutegravir. Geometric mean ratios (GMRs) with 90% confidence intervals (CIs) for comparison of total and unbound pharmacokinetic parameters in the third trimester and postpartum were calculated, including the metabolic ratio for dolutegravir glucuronide. Safety and virological data were collected.  Seventeen women (76% black) were enrolled (25 evaluable pharmacokinetic profiles; 15 in the third trimester, 10 in postpartum) In the third trimester, geometric mean (coefficient of variation, Cmin, unbound was 2.87 (87) ug/L and 93% of individual Cmin, unbound levels were >0.85 ug/L. The GMR (90% CI) in the third trimester vs postpartum was 0.86 .68 1.10) for area under the curve (AUC0 24h) and for Cmax, 0.93 .77 1.13) GMR (90% CI) for the trough concentrations was 0.71 .49 1.02) based on total dolutegravir concentrations. Four serious adverse events were reported, unlikely related to dolutegravir. The HIV polymerase chain reaction test was negative in 14/17 infants (result unknown for 3 infants) CONCLUSIONS Pharmacokinetic changes for dolutegravir in late pregnancy are not clinically relevant and support the use of dolutegravir 50 mg once daily with food in pregnancy.

Smart homes current features and future perspectives.
Venue: Maturitas
Year: 2009

In an ageing world, maintaining good health and independence for as long as possible is essential. Instead of hospitalization or institutionalization, the elderly and disabled can be assisted in their own environment 24h a day with numerous 'smart' devices. The concept of the smart home is a promising and cost effective way of improving home care for the elderly and the disabled in a non obtrusive way, allowing greater independence, maintaining good health and preventing social isolation. Smart homes are equipped with sensors, actuators, and/or biomedical monitors. The devices operate in a network connected to a remote centre for data collection and processing. The remote centre diagnoses the ongoing situation and initiates assistance procedures as required. The technology can be extended to wearable and in vivo implantable devices to monitor people 24h a day both inside and outside the house. This review describes a selection of projects in developed countries on smart homes examining the various technologies available. Advantages and disadvantages, as well as the impact on modern society, are discussed. Finally, future perspectives on smart homes as part of a home based health care network are presented.
The effects of soft skill integration on quality of college life of diploma business students
Venue: Journal of International Education in Business
Year: 2019

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of soft skill integration in the curriculum on quality of college life of diploma business students in Malaysian private higher educational institutions.  Descriptive quantitative survey research was used to assess the views and relationship between variables from 429 business students in Peninsular Malaysia. The adapted self administered questionnaires were distributed through stratified random sampling method. Descriptive analysis, correlation and regression analysis were used in the findings.  The results advocated significant influence from soft skill integration on quality of college life. Soft skill integration in critical thinking and problem solving especially has significant positive influence on quality of college life in all the aspects from academic, social and also facilities.  Generalizability of the research as it was conducted in the northern region of Peninsular Malaysia only. It was also limited by subjectivity bias of the students who responded to the questionnaire.  The implication of this study was that it serves as an evidence based information of soft skill integration and effects on college quality. In this way, it provides an empirical reference to the authorities for better guidelines, evaluation, control and development in the curriculum, delivery approaches, co curriculum, campus environment or facilities. Social implications Local education in particular is closely linked to the neighboring community and also dependent on the socio economic needs of the state or region. According to Kayrooz and Parker (2010) greater engagement with local issues and higher local autonomy for spending could lead to greater effectiveness and efficiencies.  The study was a pioneering research in the context of Malaysian private higher education, guided by Devadason et al.'s (2010) soft skill integration study in Malaysian public higher education, plus Sirgy et al.'s (2007) study on quality of college life.

A sensitivity of 0.5 pT/Hz1/2 is obtained by analyzing the magnetic noise spectrum, which exceeds that of most traditional magnetometers. This kind of atomic magnetometer is very compact, has a low power consumption, and has a high theoretical sensitivity limit, which make it suitable for many applications.
The God Delusion Richard Dawkins Bantam Press, 2006
Venue: Genomics, society, and policy
Year: 2007

The temptation with a rallying cry such as Dawkins's latest effort is to join the chorus of praise or boos, or note dismissively that it is a popular book not really worthy of academic attention. While we might imagine a theological journal taking a passing interest (along with passing pot shots) surely a social scientific journal need not pay attention to The God Delusion. But Dawkins quite strongly, if inadvertently, makes the case that science is a social, cultural and ideological phenomenon, which is, of course, interesting to social scientists.
RELIABILITY BASED DESIGN OPTIMIZATION OF CONCRETE GRAVITY DAMS USING SUBSET SIMULATION
Year: 2016

The paper deals with the reliability based design optimization (RBDO) of concrete gravity dams subjected to earthquake load using subset simulation. The optimization problem is formulated such that the optimal shape of concrete gravity dam described by a number of variables is found by minimizing the total cost of concrete gravity dam for the given target reliability. In order to achieve this purpose, a framework is presented whereby subset simulation is integrated with a hybrid optimization method to solve the RBDO approach of concrete gravity dam. Subset simulation with Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling is utilized to estimate accurately the failure probability of dams with a minimum number of samples. In this study, the concrete gravity dam is treated as a two dimensional structure involving the material nonlinearity effects and dam reservoir foundation interaction. An efficient metamodel in conjunction with subset simulation MCMC is provided to reduce the computational cost of dynamic analysis of dam reservoir foundation system. The results demonstrate that the RBDO approach is more appropriate than the deterministic optimum approach for the optimal shape design of concrete gravity dams.
Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis: A Rare Case of Anterior Ankle Impingement
Venue: Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports
Year: 2020

Anterior ankle impingement is characterized by a painful range of motion (ROM)limitation of tibiotarsal joint. More than 70% of cases are secondary to trauma or repetitive microtrauma of the anterior aspect of the ankle such as it occurs during ball kicking "footballer's ankle" or forced plantar flexion (ballet dancers, volleyball players, and runners) in people practicing sport for many years. There are other causes of anterior ankle impingement. We report a case of villonodular synovitis that, also less common, has to be considered in diagnostic flowchart.  In this paper, we report a rare case of pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) in a 37 year old Caucasian male soccer player, with a 4 year story of ankle swelling and ROM painful limitation.  PVNS, although it is an unusual cause of anterior ankle impingement, needs an early diagnosis and surgical excision to prevent extra articular extension of the mass, cartilage damage, and soft tissue compression.
Sources of Demotivation among English Language Learners: Novice and Experienced Teachers' Beliefs
Year: 2019

Motivation is a crucial factor in learning a foreign language. However, some learners may become demotivated during their experience of learning a language. Demotivation among learners has rarely been addressed from the teachers' perspectives. The purpose of the current study was to investigate novice and experienced English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers' perceptions of sources of demotivation among language learners. Initially, through convenience sampling, different institute teachers were contacted. Thirty novice (n 15) and experienced (n 15) English language teachers volunteered to participate in face to face semi structured interviews to investigate their beliefs about sources of learners' demotivation. Content analysis was run to extract relevant demotivation sources, and frequency analysis was used to summarize and report the data. The findings revealed that both novice and experienced teachers had largely similar perceptions of sources of demotivation. Both groups indicated that method of instruction, teacher personality, classmates' behaviors, anxiety, and physical environment of the language institutes have the potential to negatively affect motivation in learners. However, they differed in the degree of importance they attached to the factors falling within each of these demotivation sources. The findings suggest that teachers need to develop an awareness of the sources of demotivation among learners and the strategies to cope with them.
The effect of povidone iodine on normal bacteria conjunctival flora in adult patients in Onitsha Nigeria
Year: 2017

To determine the normal conjunctival flora and the effect of povidone iodine on the flora in adult patients at the Guinness Eye Centre Onitsha Nigeria.  Each randomly recruited new adult patient had conjunctival swab taken from one eye; then a drop of 5% povidone iodine solution was instilled on the conjunctiva. Conjunctival swabs were taken at 1, 5, and 10 min after povidone iodine instillation. The swabs were smeared on glass slides and also inoculated unto MacConkey, chocolate, and nutrient agar. Microbial study of the specimens was undertaken.  Of the 250 eyes of the 250 patients, 164 (65.6% were culture positive. A total of 225 organisms were isolated from the 164 culture positive specimens as follows: Pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated in 142 (63.1% Staphylococcus epidermidis in 79 (35.1% and Staphylococcus aureus in four (1.8% Among the 61 specimens that grew more than one organism, 59 (96.7% had a mixed growth of P. aeruginosa and S. epidermidis and 2 (3.3% grew both S. epidermidis and S. aureus. Povidone iodine significantly reduced the mean bacterial colony count in all bacterial isolates 10 min after instillation, that is: 114.4 to 35.7 for P. aeruginosa (P 0.05) 71.7 to 15.8 for S. epidermidis (P 0.05) and 45.5 to 3.0 for S. aureus (P 0.05) Bacterial colonies persisted in seven (2.8% eyes 10 min after instillation of 5% povidone iodine.  The normal conjunctiva of some patients harbor virulent bacteria, which load 5% povidone iodine greatly reduced. These facts should be taken into consideration when planning intraocular surgery as part of the efforts to prevent endophthalmitis.
