The counting method for ameliorating traumatic memories

The three-dimensional (3-D) architecture of myosalpinx in the rat has been investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy after microdissection and removing interstitial connective tissue with 6N NaOH digestion. In the extramural portion of tube-uterine junction the myosalpinx shows circularly arranged fibers originating from the uterus, together with oblique fibers typical for the salpinx, which occur more frequently in the deeper layers. As fibers approach the mucous folds they assume a plexiform arrangement, which is maintained through all tubal segments. In the isthmus surface fibers form wide muscle rings around the elbow of loops, peculiar to the rat tubal morphology. Surface fibers in the ampulla and pre-ampulla have an even circular course. Our 3-D results reveal that the muscular architecture of rat tube is mainly organized in concentric, monolayered shells with a plexiform arrangement tightly fastened together. Functionally, this muscular arrangement seems to be capable of stirring rather than pushing the embryo and gametes. Finally, such a plexiform network might work as a mechanism of "tube locking" in proximity of isthmic loops as well as at the level of the ampullary-isthmic junction.     

Diacylglycerol and the promotion of lamellar-hexagonal and lamellar-isotropic phase transitions in lipids: implications for membrane fusion

Changes in steady-state fluorescence anisotropy of 1 -(4-trimethylaminophenyl)-6-phenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene TMA-DPH) are applied to the detection of lamellar-hexagonal transitions in egg phosphatidylethanolamine. Even low (2 mole%) proportions of diacylglycerol decrease the hexagonal transition temperature considerably, as confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry. Diacylglycerol is also found to promote a lamellar to "isotropic" (Q(224) cubic) transition in mixtures of phosphatidylcholine: phosphatidylethanolamine:cholesterol. This nonreversible transition is also observed by (31)P nuclear magnetic resonance and detected as a large increase in TMA-DPH steady-state anisotropy. The same technique reveals as well that lysophosphatidylcholine counteracts the effect of diacylglycerol and stabilizes the lamellar phase in both transitions. Diacylglycerol and lysophosphatidylcholine are known to respectively promote and inhibit membrane fusion in a variety of systems. These data are interpreted in support of the hypothesis of a highly bent structural fusion intermediate ("stalk"). They also show the interest of lipid-phase studies in predicting and rationalizing membrane fusion mechanisms.

Suitability evaluation of urban construction land based on geo-environmental factors of Hangzhou, China

Suitability evaluation of urban construction land based on geo-environmental factors is the process of determining the fitness of a given tract of land for construction. This process involves a consideration of the geomorphology, geology, engineering geology, geological hazards, and other geological factors and is the basis of urban construction land planning and management. With the support of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), grid analysis, and geo-spatial analysis techniques, four factor groups comprising nine separate subfactors of geo-environmental attributes were selected to be used in the evaluation of the suitability level for construction land in Hangzhou. This was based on K-means clustering and back-propagation (BP) neural network methods due to their advantages in fast computing, unique adaptive capacity, and self-organization. Simultaneously, the evaluation results based on K-means clustering and BP neural network were compared and analyzed, and the accuracy evaluation was set. The results showed that the geo-environmental suitability evaluation results of construction land based on K-means clustering and BP neural network were similar in terms of the distribution and scale of construction land suitability level. At the same time, the results of the two evaluation methods were consistent with the variability in suitability level, engineering geology, and hydrogeology of Hangzhou. The results also showed that the real advantage of the methods proposed in this paper lies in their capacity to streamline the mapping process and to ensure that the results are consistent throughout. The suitability level of the urban construction land based on the geo-environment in Hangzhou was divided into four construction sites: land for building super high-rise and high-rise buildings, land for building multistorey buildings, land for low-rise buildings, and nonbuilding land. The results of the suitability evaluation for each category will provide a scientific basis for decision-making in urban development in Hangzhou.     

BSPNN: boosted subspace probabilistic neural network for email security

In the modern age of Internet connectivity, advanced information systems have accumulated huge volumes of data. Such fast growing, tremendous amount of data, collected and stored in large databases has far exceeded our human ability to comprehend without proper tools. There has been a great deal of research conducted to explore the potential applications of Machine Learning technologies in Security Informatics. This article studies the Network Security Detection problems in which predictive models are constructed to detect network security breaches such as spamming. Due to overwhelming volume of data, complexity and dynamics of computer networks and evolving cyber threats, current security systems suffer limited performance with low detection accuracy and high number of false alarms. To address such performance issues, a novel Machine Learning algorithm, namely Boosted Subspace Probabilistic Neural Network (BSPNN), has been proposed which combines a Radial Basis Function Neural Network with an innovative diversity-based ensemble learning framework. Extensive empirical analyses suggested that BSPNN achieved high detection accuracy with relatively small computational complexity compared with other conventional detection methods.     

Block-based neural networks

This paper presents a novel block-based neural network (BBNN) model and the optimization of its structure and weights based on a genetic algorithm. The architecture of the BBNN consists of a 2D array of fundamental blocks with four variable input/output nodes and connection weights. Each block can have one of four different internal configurations depending on the structure settings, The BBNN model includes some restrictions such as 2D array and integer weights in order to allow easier implementation with reconfigurable hardware such as field programmable logic arrays (FPGA). The structure and weights of the BBNN are encoded with bit strings which correspond to the configuration bits of FPGA. The configuration bits are optimized globally using a genetic algorithm with 2D encoding and modified genetic operators. Simulations show that the optimized BBNN can solve engineering problems such as pattern classification and mobile robot control.

Rosetta: semantic support for model-centered systems-level design

With the advent of system-on-chip (SoC) technology, the design of small electrical systems has become a systems engineering task. Such tasks require working at high levels of abstraction to build systems by either integrating information from various design domains or modeling different aspects of the same component. Designers of traditional computer-based systems usually rely on component-based techniques that parallel the physical architecture. The model-based approach encompasses the component-centered approach, treating structural decomposition as a single model in the overall hierarchy. Model-centered semantics and languages let designers concentrate on the data, computation, or communication models that describe complex computer-based SoC requirements. Appropriate design semantics specify each system aspect, and the designer assembles those aspects into models to define complete systems and components. The developers of Rosetta, a heterogeneous systems-level modeling language that supports predictive design analysis, have identified mechanisms for defining and composing models that specify multiple domains of interest from many perspectives. Rosetta requirements and domains define test cases and generate abstract vectors for each test scenario. Several analysis tools are under development for transforming Rosetta into existing analysis environments, and the authors describe their authors are also developing native analysis tools for symbolic verification and simulation environments. The authors use Rosetta to provide computation models for customized digital and mixed-signal system-specification environments. Other domains to support, optical and microelectrical mechanical systems specifications are under consideration
