为了探索一种减少训练量并提高精度,且适应于卷积神经网络的预处理方法,以识别鸟鸣为例,基于信息熵以及形态学在图像处理上的应用,根据鸟鸣的间隔性特点,提出新的处理方案。利用形态学将音频片段归类为有效和噪声信号两类;使用加权的方法利用信息熵预测有效数据的分布。仿真结果表明,形态学使数据量减少且信息熵处理使单个数据稀疏化并起到滤波作用,在保持精度甚至精度提高的情况下缩短了训练时间,为卷积神经网络的数据预处理的简化提供了方向。     

基于微流控的人卵母细胞特性检测

人的卵母细胞特性的研究对于临床医学具有重要意义,可以通过卵母细胞的大小对其活性进行研究。采用微流控平台与MATLAB算法相结合的方法,利用微流控器件的沟道对卵母细胞进行挤压,由于卵母细胞的活性不同对于挤压的反应也不同,活性越好的卵母细胞通过沟道时变形性越好,经检测卵母细胞有很好的活性;拍摄卵母细胞发生形变与卵母细胞通过沟道的视频,利用MATLAB程序进行图像处理得到卵母细胞的大小,测得卵母细胞的直径约为170μm。这种方法有别于传统方法,在一定程度上使用了算法识别,提高了卵母细胞分析统计的准确度,提升了工作效率。由于人的卵母细胞比较珍贵,只进行了初期实验研究,证明此方法确实可行。

Application of fuzzy image restoration in criminal investigation

The advancement of science and technology has a positive effect on the development of law disciplines. The development of algorithms and artificial intelligence also has a certain impact on judicial practice. Image restoration is a significant technique in image processing. It aims to objectively restore the content or quality of the original image from the degraded image. Image degradation is always generated in image transmission, such as distortion, blur. In modern video surveillance system, image restoration is significant for criminal investigation. However, image restoration based on conventional filter algorithms cannot achieve satisfactory performance. Thus, we first introduce the image restoration algorithms based on different degradation model. Then, we propose some applications of fuzzy image restoration in criminal investigation. We conduct experiments on both degraded images and videos and experimental results have shown the effectiveness of fuzzy image restoration applying to the criminal investigation.     

Experimental investigation of multiphase flow behavior in drilling annuli using high speed visualization technique

Imaging with high definition video camera is an important technique to visualize the drilling conditions and to study the physics of complex multiphase flow associated with the hole cleaning process. The main advantage of visualizing multiphase flow in a drilling annulus is that the viewer can easily distinguish fluid phases, flow patterns and thicknesses of cutting beds. In this paper the hole cleaning process which involves the transportation of cuttings through a horizontal annulus was studied. The two-phase (solid-liquid) and the three-phase (solid-liquid-gas) flow conditions involved in this kind of annular transportation were experimentally simulated and images were taken using a high definition camera. Analyzing the captured images, a number of important parameters like velocities of different phases, heights of solid beds and sizes of gas bubbles were determined. Two different techniques based on an image analysis software and MATLAB coding were used for the determinations. The results were compared to validate the image analyzing methodology. The visualization technique developed in this paper has a direct application in investigating the critical conditions required for efficient hole cleaning as well as in optimizing the mud program during both planning and operational phases of drilling. Particularly, it would be useful in predicting the cuttings transport performance, estimating solid bed height, gas bubble size, and mean velocities of bubbles/particles.     

AXL Receptor in Breast Cancer: Molecular Involvement and Therapeutic Limitations

Breast cancer was one of the first malignancies to benefit from targeted therapy, i.e., treatments directed against specific markers. Inhibitors against HER2 are a significant example and they improved the life expectancy of a large cohort of patients. Research on new biomarkers, therefore, is always current and important. AXL, a member of the TYRO-3, AXL and MER (TAM) subfamily, is, today, considered a predictive and prognostic biomarker in many tumor contexts, primarily breast cancer. Its oncogenic implications make it an ideal target for the development of new pharmacological agents; moreover, its recent role as immune-modulator makes AXL particularly attractive to researchers involved in the study of interactions between cancer and the tumor microenvironment (TME). All these peculiarities characterize AXL as compared to other members of the TAM family. In this review, we will illustrate the biological role played by AXL in breast tumor cells, highlighting its molecular and biological features, its involvement in tumor progression and its implication as a target in ongoing clinical trials.     

加热面朝下的池沸腾汽泡动态行为研究

基于Matlab软件开发了自动识别气液两相流界面程序，程序可获得气液界面变化、汽膜厚度、汽膜脱离周期和汽膜法向速度等特征。利用该程序对沟槽结构加热表面朝下布置时，在不同倾角、不同热流密度下的汽泡动态数据进行了处理和分析。结果表明：加热表面朝下发生核态沸腾时，汽膜厚度随热流密度的增大而增大，汽泡脱离周期随热流密度的增大先减小，而后维持在一稳定值；汽膜脱离周期随倾角的增大而减小，倾角为5°时的汽膜脱离周期稳定在0.27 s左右。当发生沸腾危机时，汽膜厚度迅速减小，这可作为动态监测加热表面沸腾状态的依据。     

The Role of Chemokines in the Development of Gastric Cancer—Diagnostic and Therapeutic Implications

Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most common cancer worldwide and the second leading cause of cancer-related death. GC is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage due to late presentation of symptoms. Therefore, there is a need for establishing more sensitive and specific markers useful in early detection of the disease when a cancer is asymptomatic to improve the diagnostic and clinical decision-making process. Some researchers suggest that chemokines and their specific receptors play an important role in GC initiation and progression via promotion of angiogenesis, tumor transformation, invasion, survival and metastasis as well as protection from host response and inter-cell communication. Chemokines are small proteins produced by various cells such as endothelial cells, fibroblasts, leukocytes, and epithelial and tumor cells. According to our knowledge, the significance of chemokines and their specific receptors in diagnosing GC and evaluating its progression has not been fully elucidated. The present article offers a review of current knowledge on general characteristics of chemokines, specific receptors and their role in GC pathogenesis as well as their potential usefulness as novel biomarkers for GC.
