The human dead ringer/bright homolog, DRIL1: cDNA cloning, gene structure, and mapping to D19S886, a marker on 19p13.3 that is strictly linked to the Peutz-Jeghers syndrome

A 2-year trial was conducted to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of heliotherapy for psoriasis. The course and cost of psoriasis of 46 Finnish patients were first closely monitored for 1 year, then the patients received a 4-week supervised heliotherapy treatment in the Canary Islands, Spain, after which they continued to be followed for another year. Heliotherapy dramatically reduced the severity of psoriasis and also seemed to have favourable long-term effects on psoriasis. The mean direct cost of the 4-week heliotherapy for one patient was FIM12,289 (1 Pound = FIM7.0 in 1989). The cost of flights and half-board in Spain formed nearly 60% (FIM7033) of the total cost. In the year preceding heliotherapy, the mean direct annual cost of antipsoriasis therapy was FIM7335 and in the year after FIM5700, a reduction of 22% in annual costs; this change was not statistically significant because there were large variations in costs among patients. The costs of heliotherapy exceeded manyfold the mean monthly cost of conventional psoriasis therapy. There were no overall savings using heliotherapy in those patients suffering mainly from moderately severe psoriasis. Heliotherapy saved costs only in those patients with severe psoriasis that required expensive medication or ward treatment. Although heliotherapy cannot be regarded as an economical treatment for the average patients with psoriasis, it clears psoriasis effectively and is preferred by patients. Thus, heliotherapy constitutes an alternative for patients suffering severe psoriasis.     

Robot Interaction Force Estimation Using an Adaptive Sliding Mode Observer

In constrained motion control of a robot, the interaction force is an important variable, which directly describes the state of interaction. It is required in a number of algorithms for interaction control. Desirably, the interaction force has to be measured by force sensors. However, there are inherent limitations with force sensors, such as the cost, sensing noise, limited bandwidth, and the difficulty of physical location at the required place, which is dynamic. In the present paper, the interaction force is estimated by using high order sliding mode observers. An adaptive version of a high order sliding mode observer is developed to robustly reconstruct the interaction force. Experimental results are given to show the effectiveness of the developed algorithms.     

Application of Feature Extraction through Convolution Neural Networks and SVM Classifier for Robust Grading of Apples

This paper proposes a novel grading method of apples, in an automated grading device that uses convolutional neural networks to extract the size, color, texture, and roundness of an apple. The developed machine learning method uses the ability of learning representative features by means of a convolutional neural network (CNN), to determine suitable features of apples for the grading process. This information is fed into a one-to-one classifier that uses a support vector machine (SVM), instead of the softmax output layer of the CNN. In this manner, Yantai apples with similar shapes and low discrimination are graded using four different approaches. The fusion model using both CNN and SVM classifiers is much more accurate than the simple k-nearest neighbor (KNN), SVM, and CNN model when used separately for grading, and the learning ability and the generalization ability of the model is correspondingly increased by the combined method. Grading tests are carried out using the automated grading device that is developed in the present work. It is verified that the actual effect of apple grading using the combined CNN-SVM model is fast and accurate, which greatly reduces the manpower and labor costs of manual grading, and has important commercial prospects.

嵌入CBAM结构的改进YOLOV3超宽带雷达生命信号检测算法

为了提高超宽带雷达生命信号检测准确率,提出了一种改进型YOLOV3检测算法。考虑到超宽带雷达探测的人体呼吸信号成像后宽高相差较大,采用多尺度训练时网络对宽高的敏感程度不一样,因此在设计损失函数时,对宽高损失给予不同的权重系数。为了提高网络通道以及空间特征表达能力,使得网络能够扩大对目标特征区域的感知范围,因此将通道注意力与空间注意力结构(CBAM)嵌入到YOLOV3基础网络Darknet53的每个shortcut层,得到CBAM-YOLOV3网络结构。对比改进前后的算法。实验结果表明,改进后的算法在IoU阈值为0.5时,mAP为98.09%,提升3.90%,在阈值为0.75时,mAP为76.49%,提升16.48%。

Electrochemical and ellipsometric study of the oxide films formed on copper in borax solution: Part I: Effect of oxygen

The formation and reduction of passive layers on copper in weakly alkaline solutions saturated with N2 and O2 were studied. Voltammetric and ellipsometric techniques were employed to examine the structural characteristics of the layers formed in the –0.32 to 0.75 V vs RHE potential region. Optical measurements at open circuit potentials (Eoc) were also made to simulate operational conditions. The passive layer consists of a duplex structure: an outer hydrated copper oxide film and an inner dehydrated film. This inner layer is composed of Cu2O with a surface excess of Cu(ii) ions. The growth rate of the oxide layers at controlled potentials is higher in O2 saturated solution. The corrosion resistance of copper depends on the presence of O2 in the electrolyte, on the stirring rate and on the Eoc value.
