Feature Reduction via Generalized Uncorrelated Linear Discriminant Analysis

High-dimensional data appear in many applications of data mining, machine learning, and bioinformatics. Feature reduction is commonly applied as a preprocessing step to overcome the curse of dimensionality. Uncorrelated Linear Discriminant Analysis (ULDA) was recently proposed for feature reduction. The extracted features via ULDA were shown to be statistically uncorrelated, which is desirable for many applications. In this paper, an algorithm called ULDA/QR is proposed to simplify the previous implementation of ULDA. Then, the ULDA/GSVD algorithm is proposed, based on a novel optimization criterion, to address the singularity problem which occurs in undersampled problems, where the data dimension is larger than the sample size. The criterion used is the regularized version of the one in ULDA/QR. Surprisingly, our theoretical result shows that the solution to ULDA/GSVD is independent of the value of the regularization parameter. Experimental results on various types of data sets are reported to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm and to compare it with other commonly used feature reduction algorithms.

The syntaxin Tlg1p mediates trafficking of chitin synthase III to polarized growth sites in yeast

Tlg1p and Tlg2p, members of the syntaxin family of SNAREs in yeast, have been implicated in both endocytosis and the retention of late Golgi markers. We have investigated the functions of these and the other endocytic syntaxins Pep12p and Vam3p. Remarkably, growth is possible in the absence of all four proteins. In the absence of the others, Pep12p and Tlg1p can each create endosomes accessible to the endocytic tracer dye FM4-64. However, although Pep12p is required for the ligand-induced internalization of the alpha factor receptor and its passage via Pep12p-containing membranes to the vacuole, Tlg1p is not. In contrast, Tlg1p is required for the efficient localization of the catalytic subunit of chitin synthase III (Chs3p) to the bud neck, a process that involves endocytosis and polarized delivery of Chs3p. In wild-type cells, internalized Chs3p cofractionates with Tlg1p and Tlg2p, and in a strain lacking the other endocytic syntaxins, either Tlg1p or Tlg2p is sufficient for correct localization of the enzyme. Pep12p is neither necessary nor sufficient for this process. We conclude that there are two endocytic routes in yeast that can operate independently and that Tlg1p is located at the junction of one of these with the polarized exocytic pathway.     

Concentration-dependent changes in the latency and amplitude of somatosensory-evoked potentials by desflurane, isoflurane and sevoflurane

Despite improvement in early diagnosis, surgical techniques, and general patient care, most deaths of cancer patients result from metastases. Recent studies have revealed that cytokines produced by cancer cells or by stromal cells play an important role into development the cancer metastasis. The formation of a cancer metastasis involves several major steps: 1) extensive vascularization; 2) local invasion; 3) adherence either to capillary endothelial cells or to subendothelial basement membrane; 4) extravasation; and 5) proliferation. In colon cancer, several cytokines such as growth factors, inflammatory cytokines, and angiogenic factors have been confirmed to be involved in each step of metastasis. This paper summarizes the involvement of cytokines in the development of invasion and metastasis in colon cancer.

二氧化硅包覆CsPbI3纳米晶薄膜的制备

卤化钙钛矿型(ABX3)纳米材料是近几年兴起的光电新材料,由于全无机钙钛矿CsPbX3(X=Cl,Br,I)纳米晶体的稳定性差,严重阻碍了实际应用,但因其具有窄带隙,在太阳能电池领域有着重要的应用前景.本研究在CsPbI3纳米晶周围使硅酸四甲酯(TMOS)发生水解反应,形成CsPbI3@SiO2纳米晶体复合材料,促使甲苯悬浮液的稳定性显著提高,发光稳定性可增加到29 d.通过进一步以聚(苯乙烯-乙烯-丁二烯-苯乙烯)三嵌共聚物(SEBS)对复合材料进行包裹,得到具有良好透明性和可拉伸性的SEBS/CsPbI3@SiO2薄膜,在水中有保持24 h稳定荧光现象,在水中12 h能保持原有发光强度的53％,而未经二氧化硅包裹的SEBS/CsPbI3纳米晶薄膜在水中仅8 h就失去荧光.本研究不仅为CsPbX3的表面改性提供了一种新方法,有助于解决稳定性问题,而且以聚合物复合的薄膜具有可拉伸性,也可应用在柔性器件中,具有重要的应用价值.

Sex pheromone biology and behavior of the cowpea weevilCallosobruchus maculatus (Coleoptera: Bruchidae)

Female cowpea weevils,Callosobruchus maculatus (F.), emitted a pheromone which excited males. Pheromone release began soon after emergence and continued for one week. Synchronization of pheromone release with calling behavior was demonstrated. Mating reduced pheromone release but not male response. Pheromone obtained by aeration collection was utilized for determining a quantitative dose-response relationship.Mention of a commercial product does not constitute an endorsement by the USDA.Visiting scholar on leave from Shanghai Institute of Entomology, PRC.
