Real-time evaluation and visualization of learner performance in a mixed-reality environment for clinical breast examination

We investigate the efficacy of incorporating real-time feedback of user performance within mixed-reality environments (MREs) for training real-world tasks with tightly coupled cognitive and psychomotor components. This paper presents an approach to providing real-time evaluation and visual feedback of learner performance in an MRE for training clinical breast examination (CBE). In a user study of experienced and novice CBE practitioners (n = 69), novices receiving real-time feedback performed equivalently or better than more experienced practitioners in the completeness and correctness of the exam. A second user study (n = 8) followed novices through repeated practice of CBE in the MRE. Results indicate that skills improvement in the MRE transfers to the real-world task of CBE of human patients. This initial case study demonstrates the efficacy of MREs incorporating real-time feedback for training real-world cognitive-psychomotor tasks.     

Effects of Adenine Methylation on the Structure and Thermodynamic Stability of a DNA Minidumbbell

DNA methylation is a prevalent regulatory modification in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. N¹-methyladenine (m¹A) and N⁶-methyladenine (m⁶A) have been found to be capable of altering DNA structures via disturbing Watson–Crick base pairing. However, little has been known about their influences on non-B DNA structures, which are associated with genetic instabilities. In this work, we investigated the effects of m¹A and m⁶A on both the structure and thermodynamic stability of a newly reported DNA minidumbbell formed by two TTTA tetranucleotide repeats. As revealed by the results of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic studies, both m¹A and m⁶A favored the formation of a T·m¹A and T·m⁶A Hoogsteen base pair, respectively. More intriguingly, the m¹A and m⁶A modifications brought about stabilization and destabilization effects on the DNA minidumbbell, respectively. This work provides new biophysical insights into the effects of adenine methylation on the structure and thermodynamic stability of DNA.     

Simplified design of rock cavern concrete lining to resist shock loading

A simplified method was proposed for the design of concrete lining in underground rock cavern/tunnel against shock loading. The loading may result from the detonation of explosives on ground surface or ground penetration projectiles exploding adjacent to the cavern/tunnel. The resulting problem necessitates the solution of the dynamics of a beam loaded by a transient pressure uniformly distributed over the span. According to mechanical characteristics of the system with rock bolt and shotcrete, a dynamic support design method based on equivalent single degree of freedom (SDOF) was put forward. The SDOF method was applied to obtaining the maximum displacement at the mid-span of the beam, which is often the controlling factor in the blast-resistant design. In the formulation of the problem, the proposed method combines the phenomena of spalling and structural dynamics theory. An example is provided to demonstrate the applicability of this simplified method.

为了提升非制冷红外热像仪的图像质量,满足低对比度弱小区域的观瞄与锁定的需求,提出了一种基于多尺度密集残差网络的红外图像超分辨重建模型,该模型的基本框架是通过级联多个残差特征进行学习,以粗到细的方式重建高分辨率图像。首先提出一种多尺度跨域融合模块,通过对不同感受野的分支结果进行融合,不仅可以融合不同感受野的互补信息,还可有助于提升梯度收敛和特征传输;然后叠加多个跨域融合模块,并采用残差特征学习进行优化,最终学习出高分辨率细节信息。仿真实验结果表明,所提出的超分辨模型能够较好的超分辨重建效果,在微弱结构保持和点目标保持上的性能也更加突出。所提的模型已经在海思嵌入式深度学习平台上实现了高质量的红外增强,具有较高的工程应用价值。
