NPHMC: An R-package for estimating sample size of proportional hazards mixture cure model

Due to advances in medical research, more and more diseases can be cured nowadays, which largely increases the need for an easy-to-use software in calculating sample size of clinical trials with cure fractions. Current available sample size software, such as PROC POWER in SAS, Survival Analysis module in PASS, powerSurvEpi package in R are all based on the standard proportional hazards (PH) model which is not appropriate to design a clinical trial with cure fractions. Instead of the standard PH model, the PH mixture cure model is an important tool in handling the survival data with possible cure fractions. However, there are no tools available that can help design a trial with cure fractions. Therefore, we develop an R package NPHMC to determine the sample size needed for such study design.     

基于类标记扩展的半监督网络流量特征选择算法

针对网络流量特征选择过程中存在的样本标记瓶颈问题,以及现有半监督方法无法选择强相关的特征的不足,提出一种基于类标记扩展的多类半监督特征选择(SFSEL)算法。该算法首先从少量的标记样本出发,通过K-means算法对未标记样本进行类标记扩展;然后结合基于双重正则的支持向量机(MDrSVM)算法实现多类数据的特征选择。与半监督特征选择算法Spectral、PCFRSC和SEFR在Moore数据集进行了对比实验,SFSEL得到的分类准确率和召回率明显都要高于其他算法,而且SFSEL算法选择的特征个数明显少于其他算法。实验结果表明: SFSEL算法能够有效地提高所选特征的相关性,获取更好的网络流量分类性能。

Zeolite‐catalyzed isomerization of oleic acid to branched‐chain isomers

Branched‐chain (bc) saturated fatty acids (SFA) have potential as oleochemical intermediates since they have better oxidative stability than linear unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) and have better low‐temperature properties than linear SFA. Previous studies in converting UFA to bc‐FA using clay catalysts have resulted in only modest yields and conversions. Recent reports, however, have suggested that certain zeolites can be effective catalysts for converting UFA to bc‐FA in higher yields and conversions. In this work, we examined the scope and potential of the zeolite‐catalyzed synthesis of bc‐FA starting from readily available monounsaturated linear FA. Our results show that common UFA such as oleic acid can be converted to bc‐isomers using modified Ferrierite zeolite catalysts with high conversions (98%) and high selectivity (85%) and that the zeolite catalysts are reusable for at least three cycles. The positions of branching (methyl) on the FA chain were determined from the GC‐MS spectra of the picolinyl esters of the bc‐FA.

塑料中添加剂的萃取分离

为了分析塑料中的未知添加剂。常需要将添加剂从塑料中分离出来。这通常采用萃取法。即利用不同物质在选定溶剂中溶解度的不同以将混合物（塑料）中的各组分分离（基体树脂及添加剂）。现在可供采用的萃取方法很多，除了传统的溶剂沉淀萃取外。还有近代的超临界液体萃取、微波萃取、高压溶剂萃取等。在选用萃取方法时，除了实验室条件外，常需考虑下述因素：样品的粒径；添加剂的摩尔质量；添加剂与基材之间的相互作用（例如添加剂是否与基材形成化学键）；添加剂在所选择溶剂中的溶解度；溶剂在基材中的扩散速率；萃取的温度和萃取时间：样品的稳定性。

Volume phase transition of polyelectrolyte gels in dimethyl sulfoxide/ tetrahydrofuran mixtures

Copolymer gels were prepared from 2-(acrylamido)-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS), N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMAA, comonomer) and N,N′-methylenebis(acrylamide) (BIS). The mole fraction of AMPS were 0.2674 and 0.4318, respectively, with the same BIS mole fraction of 0.013. These gels with counterions H⁺, Na⁺, and K⁺ were swollen at 25°C in mixtures of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and tetrahydrofuran (THF). A volume phase transition was observed at the THF volume fraction of about 0.58, indicating that the volume phase transition in a polyelectrolyte gel occurs when the medium polarity decreases sufficiently for ion-pair formation. On changing the counterion, the fraction of DMSO in the solvent mixture which is required to initiate swelling decreases in the order Na⁺, H⁺, and K⁺, the same as for counterion condensation in identical gels.     

Precise localization of eye centers with multiple cues

Automatic detection and precise localization of human eye centers are the essential processes in photo related multimedia applications. Since eye center points are used as reference base points for further intelligent processing, precise eye center localization is very important. In face recognition the accuracy of localization of eye centers directly influences the identification accuracy. A multiple stage approach with multiple cues for detection and precise localization of eye centers is presented in this paper. Multiple scopes searching strategy is used for correctly extracting eye patch images from the background. Dedicated gradient based features and curvelet based features are constructed and used for comprehensively revealing the intensity distribution characteristics and the edge based texture around eye centers. A rebuilt score calculation mechanism is proposed and the rebuilt scores are used as a specific measurement index reflecting the matching accuracy. The final localizations of eye centers are determined with integrating the gradient based scores and curvelet based scores. The experiment results testing on public face datasets show that the localization accuracy of proposed approach outperforms the accuracy with other state of the art methods.
