Blind quality assessment for screen content images via convolutional neural network

With the wide propagation of cloud and mobile computing, screen content images (SCIs) have become more indispensable in our daily lives. Compared to natural scene images (NSIs), SCIs possess many particular characteristics, like mixed contents, extremely sharp edges, and text graphics. Consequently, more challenges occur in the feature extraction, which is used to reflect the distortion, during the quality assessment of SCIs. Recently, some convolutional neural network (CNN) models have been designed by automatically learning feature to evaluate the quality. In this paper, we develop a novel blind quality assessment method for SCIs via the CNN. First, compared with existing CNN-based methods, the proposed method avoids the disadvantage of training with image patches, and it is the pioneering attempt that takes the entire image as inputs. Second, instead of the image gray value, the original image is decomposed into two portions, i.e., the predicted and unpredicted portions, according to the internal generative mechanism (IGM) theory as the input of CNN. Through the CNN, all features of the image are learned automatically from beginning to end, and the network finally outputs the predicted score. Since existing SCI database is too small, to fully train the network, we collected 30000 SCIs and employed a high-accuracy full-reference quality assessment metric of SCI to compute scores as the training labels. Experimental results on SIQAD database demonstrate that the proposed method is comparable to reference-based SCI quality assessment metrics and is superior to the state-of-the-art NSI quality assessment metrics.

采用液相沉淀法制备了ZnO/CaCO₃复合粉体,考察了工艺参数对形貌和分散状态的影响,分析了ZnO在CaCO₃表面的组装过程和ZnO的生长方式,测试了复合粉体的硫化活化性能。研究结果表明:当ZnO和CaCO₃质量比为1∶2,沉淀反应物物质的量的配比为1∶1,煅烧温度为300~350℃时,ZnO/CaCO₃复合粉体比表面积可达19.827 m²/g且有着良好的分散状态,CaCO₃表面ZnO的粒径较小(5~10 nm)。在CaCO₃表面上反应生成的羟基磷灰石对Zn²⁺的吸附的作用是将ZnO与CaCO₃成功组装在一起的关键,也是ZnO沿垂直CaCO₃表面方向生长的原因。将复合粉体应用于丁苯橡胶硫化中,硫化时转矩值最高达10.07 dN·m,硫化速率CRI最快为0.247 s^-1。     

Dietary procyanidins lower triglyceride levels signaling through the nuclear receptor small heterodimer partner

Hypertriglyceridemia is an independent risk factor in the development of cardiovascular diseases, and we have previously reported that oral administration of a grape seed procyanidin extract (GSPE) drastically decreases plasma levels of triglycerides (TG) and apolipoprotein B (ApoB) in normolipidemic rats, with a concomitant induction in the hepatic expression of the nuclear receptor small heterodimer partner (NR0B2/SHP). Our objective in this study was to elucidate whether SHP is the mediator of the reduction of TG-rich ApoB-containing lipoproteins triggered by GSPE. We show that GSPE inhibited TG and ApoB secretion in human hepatocarcinoma HepG2 cells and had and hypotriglyceridemic effect in wild-type mouse. The TG-lowering action of GSPE was abolished in HepG2 cells transfected with a SHP-specific siRNA and in a SHP-null mouse. Moreover, in mouse liver, GSPE downregulated several lipogenic genes, including steroid response element binding protein 1c (SREBP-1c), and upregulated carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1A (CPT-1A) and apolipoprotein A5 (ApoA5), in a SHP-dependent manner. In HepG2 cells GSPE also inhibited ApoB secretion, but in a SHP-independent manner. In conclusion, SHP is a key mediator of the hypotriglyceridemic response triggered by GSPE. This novel signaling pathway of procyanidins through SHP may be relevant to explain the health effects ascribed to the regular consumption of dietary flavonoids.
